BENZ. WOOD, Editor and Propriet'r.
THE ONLY RECOGNIZED DEMOCRATIC
NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN NEW
YORK, DAILY, SEMI-WEEK-
LY AND WEEKLY
TO THE PUBLIC.

THE NEW YORK NEWS HAS BATTLED
II against despotism for four years Of
piood and terror, in assertion of the sane
tlty OF the Constitution. A patriotism
suhclently broad to embrace both sections
has been its only guide, and it refers now
with honest pride to it's record to show tn at
1t mas not turned to the right or the left
under all the violence of arbitrary power.
True to its principles as THE NEWS has
been through the reign of terror, it chal-
| !enges public confidence in its honesty and
| independence for the future.
1ne poIItlcal transition of the present
day opens to THE NEWS a new and wider
| field of usefulness. Standing now, as it
stitution, according to the Interpretation of
| the strict constructionists, it presents
rallylng ground for all, in both sections,
who are friends Of q generous conservatism.
AS true and tried exponent of sectional
amity, il occupies position which makes it
the fitting mediator in holding up to the
party OF order, In both sections, interests
and principles that gave breadth and vi
tality to their alliance. AS an intersec-
tional agent, devoted to freedom of cleo
ton, to trial by jury, to the sanctity Of the
habeas corpus, and opposed now, as for
four years of terror it has been, to the CEN
trallzation that dares to trample on the
rights of States, North or South, THE
NEWS places itself as candidate for sup
port before the great body Of this once free
people.
The circumstances OF the moment make
the dissemination of the principles of THE
NEWS duty of individual patriotism.
Every man who concurs in its doctrine
must, II he entertain true sense Of free
dom, do SO ia no spirit of indifference, but
rather with the earnestness of a high trust.
Justified, nay bound, in his love of liberty,
to do SO, the proprietor places the canvass he
makes here of the public generally in the
hands OF those men who give him the ap-
provaI OF their consciences as his Individual
agents Every reader OF TIE News cannot
avoid the conviction Of duty which is here
pointed out as the ground of the request,
that ne urges it's claims for wider support
upon all OF his friends and neighbors who
give their earnest sympathies to the cause
OF strlct construction, intersectional con-
ciliation, and all the rights Of the citizens
under the system set up by our fathers of
liberty regulated by law The proprietor
OF The News calls, therefore, upon good
and true Conservatives throughout the
OF political right at this great crisis in the
c,ountrys fortunes, the duty Of giving to
the influence Of his paper, dailv. semi
weekly Or weekly, the wider power for good
which it seeks here through the service of
its individual supporters
