This Mat azine will rontinne to defend
the principles cf Government which
. guided onr fathers in the fonndation of he
-Republic The spirit and doctrine of the
two first volumes will be folly maintained
irt (he third volume. We have no compro
mises to make with error no parley wih
despotism. Democracy will be treated,
hot as a varying policy of connirg offlee
seekers and spcilhuntprs, but rather as an
abiding principle of political economy and
of popular liberty. All supporter? of this
revolutionizing, Abolition war, will be held
as the enemies of the democracy. We
shall acknowledge no organization to be
Democratic which does not honestly onun
ciate and support the principles of the
Kentocky aud Virginia Resolutions of 1798
and the Dred. Scott Decision of the Su
preme Court, the one assserling Stale Scv
ereignfy and the other 11 kite supremacy. To
preserve these honorable doctrines, the
Democratic party was organized by the
vey -founders o the Federal Government.
and it remained true to them down to tte
fatal and dishonoring departure, at the
commencement of this war. The Old
Goat d is an organ of Democracy as it was,
before this cowardly surrender of principle
andjas it must be asain, before i' can re
deem our country from the rule of (action
and despotism. This year it has b.een en

forty eight pages for the pnrpose of mak

15. Wood, Ed. and Proprietor
The Democracy of the North will coin
mi' a fatal error if they accent the result of
he lat Piesidenlial.eleclinn as an indica
ion Irom the hand of Destiny to rela
their political action until the opening o
tthe next campaign. The future welfare o
the republic depends upon the politics
zeal and activity of the Democracy during
the year 1865.
The small majority of the popular vote
that elected the Black Republican candi
dates, considered in view of the extraordi
nary resources of the Administration for
corruption and cpmpulsion, attests that the
power of the Democracy, on a fair field, is
equal to the vindication oi Democratic
principles.
There is one feature in the result of th
Presidential election that goes far to re
concile the patriot to the hard fate of hi
country uider four years more of Elack
Republican misrule, fhe baleful meteor
that lingered in grief while in onr political
atmo-phere ha vanished for ever. War
Democracy has fulfilled its mission of dis
orsanization, and like any other pestilence
will be remembered only for ihe evil it
4 has done.
The is.Htie now before the ppople is the
final struggle between Centeralizstion anil
States' Rights, and no journal is Democrat
ic that is not the devoted . champion of
States' Rights, the paramount principle ol
the Democratic faith.
i Jr.elNew l orK isews r.eeu no tPfrlimony
beyond its plain unalterable reroid to sub
Mantiate its claim to being and having
been the most earnest, able and consistent
Stales' Rights Journal in the land. We
have no excuses to in vent for modifications
of sentiment, nor hnve we to pit a J ''ex.
pediencj" in ptlliaiion of inconsistency.
Onr path ha? been traigit forward. Our
columns are belore the people, not a line
in them that we would cancel nor senti
ment we would . recall, not an assertion
that requires an explana ion. not a word
that we regret io have ol'ered, not a prin
ciple advoca'ed that we have not stood by
and will eland by to the last. Such has
been our past record, so will be our fntur.
We do. not, however, ask the Democracy
to sustain us in our mission as a reward
for the perviee waliave done, but in con
sideration of the good work that we pro
pose to do. The Nw York News for 1S65
will Dot merely imitate it predecessors, it
vi ill excel them. It shall tw. not only the
truest exponent cf Democratic principle,
bnt the best wetMpaper in . the country.
Heretofore it hs had no superior a a ve-
nicie ot news, hereailer it snail have no j
equal. In every department of journalism !
we have arranged that ihe News shail dis-'
tame competition. It is the only Demo '
cratic newspaper in the metropolis that has j
the advantage of publishins a daily issue !
with the full dispatches of.the Associated
Press, and therefore its Machinery for fur
nishing a comp'.e'e record of events is
more perfest than that of any of i's Demo
cratic QOtemppraries. None have a tempt
ed latterly, to compete with it in the publi
cation ol Southpr.i intelligence, as our
system of exchange with Southern journals
baflles the sagacity and enterprise of our
rivals.
A glance at the columns of The News
devoeil to "Southern and Northern per
sonals" will remark ihe extraordinary suc
cess itit has attended our tpnterprise in
that direction. We are in daily receipt of
letters expressing the thanks ot those who,
through the medium of the ;PersonaIs" in
The News, have been enabled to receive
tidings from their friends and relatives in
the South, and the heart of .many an exile
and wanderer has been gladdened ihroush
that instrumentality by .words of affection
and hope liorr those mourned f.r as dead
The New York News has become so
popular in the rural districts that othtr Me
tropolitan journals, in pubishir.g their
stereotyped boast of "the largest circula
tion ol any weekly journal" are constrain
ed to make an exception in o.ur favor It
is a significant circumstance that since the
Presidential election and consequent de
mise of War fierr oeracy, the ubsf rip'ions
o this paptr have been unusually numer
ous. "The Agricultural Department of The
New York News renders it ati invaluable
companion and assistant to the fanr er ;
and its Cattle, Maikel and Produce Re
ports are more reliable and full than tboee
of any other journal.

Gentlemen. About three years ago our

severely afflicted with croup. A general

a hectic congh, which became almost con
stant. swelling of ihe temples and other
indications of Consumption wen also ap
parent, and her life was e'espaired of by
t.er physician. Ai this critical moment we
were induced lo give Dr. Wistar's Balsam
of Wild Cherry ti trial, and after she had
taken one bottle we found her so much re
lieved that it was thought unnece-saty to '
continue its use. tince that time we have
used ihe Balsam in our family in cases of

superior remedy foi all diseases of the
