NEW YORK DAY BOOK !
IPC) It I SON
The New York Tay-hook Is a straightforward
Icat Democratic paper, with a larger circu
lation than any other Democratic journal ever
published on this continent, and it enters on
the threshold of Nis more prosperous and more
hopeful of 'the great rause It upholds than ever
before. Standing on the Declaration - of lode
prudence, that "all twhitel men are equal," and
therefore entitled to equal rights, it is opposed
to all forms and degrees of special legislation
that conflict with this grand ventral truth of
Demoenicy, and over all and above all, does It
combat that monstrous trepson to Anteelerin
liberty, which, thrusting the negro element in
to our political system mast of necessity wreck
the whole mighty fabric left its by our fathers.
God has created white men superior and ne
groes inferior, and therefore all the efforts of
the past six years to abolish Ills work and
ritualize with neuroes---every law violated, eve
ry :State Constitution overtlimwh, every Ufa
sacrificed, and every dollar expended, are ne
cessarily hist so many steps towards national
sulebtu; and the simple and awful pro trio now
upon us is Just this—shall we recover our rea
son and retrace oar steps, or march on to Mon-,
grelism, social anarchy, and the total ruin of
our country..
The Day hook, therefore, demands the rester
ration of the "l'hion as it was"—a Milan of co
ennui! Stales upon the white - basis, as the only
hope, and the only means post ble tinnier heaven
for 'saving the grand ideas of Mt, and the fond
amental prielpin, of A meriean liberty, and if
the rail freemen, and the earnest believers in
that stirred and glorious cause In which the
men of the Revolution offered up their lives,
will now labor to exp.,se the ignotanceelolusion
and treason of the Mongrel p irty, it will sue
reed, and the while Republic of Washington
be restored again in all its original influence
and grandeur.
The Day Book will, however; hereafter be
more than ever devoted to all the varied purpo
ses of a news paper. conscious that it reach
es thousands of faMilles who take no other
Journal, beyond perhaps their local paper, It
will continue and improve its "News of the
Week" Summary, so as to present a transcript
of the World's events in eneh issue. Its "Fam
ily Department" m ill embrace behest original
and selected stories. Its "Agricultural Depart
ment" will be fully sustained, and being the
only paper of its class made tip es preaslY for
country eireulatinn, it is confident it is worn h
double the price of a weekly hurriedly reprint
ed from a daily, • It gives full and complete re
port, of the New York and Albany Cattle Mar
kets: Grain, Provisions and Cotton Markets,
and a Weekly review of Financial matters, to
gether with the markets, by telegraph, from

THE ALL-IMPORTANT DUTY of ETERT
DEMOCRAT !
A few months more and the Presidential
campaign will open in all its vigor, with can
didatesin the field representing the distinct
ive issues of each political organization, and
committed plainly and unequivocally to their•
interests,
On both sides active preparations are be
ing made for.the struggle, and it will Un
doubtedly be one of lie most fiercely con
tested in the history of the nation.
the
indication of the times points to the most
stubborn and unscrupulous resistance on the
part of the Radicals against the efforts of the
people to wrest from them the lawle.ss power
which they have seized to uphold their base
purposed.
The Democratic party begins the campaign
under the most auspicious circumstances,
with a confidence in success, an enthusiasm
for the cause, and . a vigorous self reliance
that haS not been experienced in many years.
The late election.s show conclusiely that. a
vast majority of the nation are, ready to es
pouse our sfandard if we only prove faithful
to our creed, and continue to stand firmly by
the interests of. the country.
But to make victory certain something
more is necessary than mere dependence up
on the truth of our principles. In the flush
of self-confidence, we tire apt to forget what
a vigilant enemy we have to overcome, and
what desperate measures he is apt to resort to
to attain hisends..Political battles, like those
of a more bloody nature, depend for their re
sults more on the skill,cotrage, determination
anti energy Milt° con testing foes than upon the.
sacredness of their cause, or the.convic dons of
the participats. The Democracy of America
- have always stood forth as devotedly attached
to the Union, the Constitution and the wel
fare of the Country as they do hitt*, yet
for seven years they have been diveated of
power, and it is 0111,y when the people are
aroused from their delusion by the imperilled
condition of the public interests, that they
have again returned to us that confidence
which it would have been well if they bad
never parted with.
The all-important necessity of theday, on
the part of our political friends is—trf , ri!
LCom !! WORK !r!
' We must be thoroughly organized and pre
pared for the campaign.. Eveley man, must
consider that he owes apermnatiluty in the
matter, us indeed he does, for there is no one
so humble, but he is in some way more or less
Concerned in - the issues at stake: all the
districts must he Canvassed, so that we may
know where it will be most advantageous to
employ our energies. Theyoung men must
be - eneouraged to lend a helping baud. those
who have been led estray must be brOught
back to the fold, and Democratic arguments
placed in their reach, that they may know
the distinctive questions. which- divide par
ties, and no longer be misled hy the wiles and
falsehoods of the Opposition.
What we have said before we now reiter
ate, and intend
. reiterating until we, have
waked the Democracy np io a full conscious
ness nf its truth, that the most effective
weapon towarils success is the wide
sound and 4raightforteard'lncal
paperx.
One good journal in a family Will do more
towards moulding ' its political convictions
than all other inthunees, and fifty copies cir
culated in any locality for six months will
accomplish more efficient service than a doz
en costly mass meetings.
The Democratic party has never displayed .
that zeal in supporting its press that it need
ed, and to that cause, as much as 'anything
else, may be attributed its misfortune-3(l(lring'
the last ten years.- In all sections of the
country—even hi the midst of the strongest
Democratic localities—the Radical press is
more liberally sustained than ours, - and in
many places the contrast is SO great as al
most to amount to a disgrace, -
The time has for these things m be
changed, and for the Democratic party to
enter upon a new Method of warfare. Our
papers ought to be spread / broadcast over the
land, and take,tbe place of those which are
now defiling the , minds ,of the young and'
tilling theth with wrong ideas'of Republican
liberty. Our public"men should avail them
selves of every opportunity titat Offers to im
press the importafice of these views on the
attention of the masses. , Our local leaders
should make a point of devoting whatever
spare time they can towbrds strengthening
thc ir county Nang by procuring theirfriends
and neighbors' patronage:.
The low price of TWO DOLLARS per
year at which the Observer ig now offered,
if paid in ad,•anee, ought to ensure the doub

But to pincc it within the reach of all, We
otter to take ~r atnnat ;,I,Z.criptidum tit ONE

commencing at any period desired, and of
continuing the paper at the tame rate for the
balance of the year it' &Amt.
Now is the time to begin the work, before II
the.spring operatiins set in, and while voters
have time to read, anti reflect over the facts
presented to them.: Let it not .he delayed
under the impression that, the matter can he
us well attended- to by-and-by. More ad
vantageous work can be rendered during the
nest two months than can be performed ditr
ing the entire balance of the cAmpaign.*
sirmonths' subscription commencing within
the'next two. months,. will : continue ,until
near the close of the campaign, and bavean
immense influence over the mind of the vo
ter who peruses the paper.
• We earnestly urge this important matter
upon our friends as by all odds the most re
liable Ameans of helping the cause.
Let every one of our present subscribers
see his Democratic neighbor at once, and if
he is not a,patron already, induce him to sub
scribe for six months, if he cannot for a
•
year.
Let those who can afford it, send copies to
hesitatinz voters, who may be influenced to
support our candidates at the nest election.
Let clubs be established and procure ten,
twenty or fifty copies for free distribution
wherever there is likely to be a vote gained.
Let this be the grand preparatory work Of
the campaign, and be assured that wheneyer
other means are necessary there will be fond
an abundance of ready helpers tbrevery.part

We intend that, bt- flue rei•ult of the-Con

The Observer for the next year will be

previous portion of ha career; will contain
more reading matter; and it shall be our

J). C., Jan. 8, 1868.
CokaAnEs—lnasmuch as numerous calls are
now being, issued and circulated through the
States and from this city, for soldiers'. and
sailors' conventions, and in order that one
comrades may fully understand from whence
issue these vans, their objects, and in whose
interests they arc to operate, this 'address is
issued.
The• following -extract is a specimen
from one of the calls referred to; now bei»g
circulated, against which it he:conies our iluty
to warn von :
IVAsittNGToN;D. C. Dee. IS, 1867
At a conferenci of Union soldiersand sail
ors, held in this city, on Monday, DeCember
1867, to consider the propriety of calling
a national convention, resolutions were unan.
imonsly adopted recommending. that an invi•
tation be extended to all loyal persons who
have served in the military or naval service
of the United States,.to unite in issuing a call
ford national convention, to he held in May,
11018,,f0r the consideration of national clues
tions,And'the nomination of candidates for
,President and Vice President of the United
States.
The disordered state of public affairs, the
restoration of the rebels to power, the design
ing efforts to destrov our national credit, the
failure througholit the country to recognize
the just claims of the veterans of the war;
these, coupled withl desire to perpetuate the
fundamental principles of our government,
are deemed sufficient reasons that the men
who crushed rebellion should counsel such
measures as shall tend to preserve and pro
feet the civil and political rights of all the
people.
Brig. Gen. T. T. CRITTENDEN,
• Chairman.
WILLIAn A. Snorer, Secy.
The purport of these calls would lead
many to believe that these proposed conven
tions were to be held aolely in the interests of
the soldiers-and sailors. But do not . allow
yourselves to be deceived by expediency men
and designing politicians. 'Under the pretext
of serving soldiers and sailors they are labor
ing to delude you into their ranks, after
which the same fraud ; falsehood and ingrati
tude will be practiced upon you that has been
so signally evinced in the past.
!' The disordered state of public affairs" has
been brought about by the same party,wbieh
has becn.in power for years, and by a system
of usurpation and uncalled for legislation,
stripped the executive branch of the govern
ment of all authority to stay the.tide of evil
inflicted by them, from time to lime, upon
the country.
"The restoration of rebels to potter," a paltry
plea (only practiced by the party in power,
as lately -exhibited ) should eall the blush of
shame to the cheek of the Manly soldier, as
Le beholds a prostrate and now starving foe,
ready and willing to yield to any terms con
sistent with the honor and dignity of a great
Christian people and nation.
" The designiny efforts to destroy our national
credit," will, indeed, be a small inducement
to soldiers when they are aware of the fact
that these conventions are to be called in the
interests of a party which has for its objects
the support of a moneyed aristocracy, width
exempts from taxation, and gives to the rich
bondholder the gold of.tlie public treasury at
a premium, while it heavily taxes efery la
boring man and soldier, and exacts that he
should be paid for his services hi a deprecia
ted currency—increasing the rich man dol
lar. and malting the poor man's less. ,
"The roa ore thryoThoo tit roontry ree.
ogthe At just chilaut qf the tettrani ofthe
war" hits nowhere been so openly and wan•
tonly exhibited as by the same party in the
United States Senate, in the rejection and re;
fusel to appoint thousands of our brave and I
disabled comrades during the past few years.
".1 desire to perpetuate the Inatiamental
priodides qf our gorernmenr will, no doubt,
appear to many of orrr comrades as intended
for a joke by these ennventionists, when iris
well known that they have, been laboring
with, and are now in full -communion with
the party of usurpers - who, by arbitrary leg
islation, have established military dictators,
inaugurated a system of tyranny, raised the
negro to be the political superior of the white
man, created negro legislators. negro judges.
and negro jurors, suspended the writ of ha
beas corpus, and are continuing arbitrary ar
rests and trials in time of peace, for all of
which they can find no-warrant within the
fundamental law of the land.
We, therefore, desire to ask iou finrikly
Are you in favor of the supremacy of the
neg,rtrrace over two-thirds of our territory?
Are you in favor of negro legislators, ne
gro pages and negro juries?
Are you in favor of being tamed $80,000,000
annually for the support of negro govern
ments-in Southern States?
Are you in favor of having expended from,
your hard earning $12,000,000 annually, in
support of the Freedmen's Burerni,' for' the
encountgement of idleness, theft and vice
among the negroes of' the South, while not
a dollar is appropriated toward the mainte
nance of the widows and orphans. of your
fall6n comrade*?
Are you in 'favor of continuing a financial
policy which exempts from taxation the
wealthy bondholder, who prospered upon
the Misfortunes of the country, and taking
the laboring class of the people, gividg, to the
former the coin of the treasury. - and to the
latter a depreciated met currency, thus ex
empting the rich front -assisting in the pay
ment of the war debt, and imposing it upon
the poorer class?
Are you in favor of having your comrades
thrust aside by the United States Senate,
when brought before it for confirmation for
i ExecsWve,•
Are you in favor of longer, continuing, the
distracted condition of our Country, that am
bitious politicians and rasping speculators
might thrive ?
Are you in ttvor of throwing aside princi
ple, patriotism and devotion to your country
to enter with political charlatans the band of
usurpers, tyrants and fanatic , . that now reign
and rule in dire confusion':
If you are not in thvor of such a course,
we appeal to you -to abstain from entering
any of Me-conventions for which calls are
now beineissued, as these conventions are to
be managed and manipulated expreszdy in
the interests of the p.trty in power, which
has byiugh,t starvation and untnld suffering
upon the people, tin exhibited in the pitiful
appeals Welling: up from every section of the
' country.
We Warn you, therefore, against invitations
which, from time to time, will be. extended
to you, some coming from persons and oren
izations,having no local habitations, urging
you to participate In a national convention of
soldiers mut sailors, for the purpose of nomi
nating candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Preidency. Politic - los, uften unfriend
ly, to soldiers and sadlom, who de‘dre-td,make
themselves prominent, are apt to have such
calls circulated, the real object of which is
not set forth therein. Let us, therefore, be,,
careful not to lend our influence to any set.
of President-makers, who are unworthy of
our confidence and support, or Who would
reflect discredit upon the high character of
the Union army and navy. A few of the em
ployed agents of the party in power may, at
any time, issue a call, setting forth moons
why we should join - them in an effort to re.
fain said party in power, the very evils narra
ted being brought about through their instru
mentality.
- .
In view, then, of the misrule under which
our country is now suffering, we admonish
you to stand firm by the principles for which
we fought and for which so many of our
irave comrades suffered 'add died, and to ac
cept no invitations of any party or clique of
President makers without due deliberation,
and upon full conviction that they are
pledged to the vindication of the Constitu
tion, the linion of the States, and the recog
nized supremacy of the flag throughout the
length and breadth of the land. As we con
tended for the supremacy of law and order,
the rights and liberties of the people, In the
field, so let us remain true to the great char
ter of our freedom now, permitting none to
use us for their elevation, but ever acting
with the people and for the people ; and in
so doing, peace, pmsperity and happiness
will follow in the train, the heels of the ty
rants now pressing upon the necks of the
populace crushed, and our country assume its
wonted position as the proudest nud freest
among the nations of the earth.

We should judge that George Francis Train
was not for General Grant, by the following,
which he halt uttered on the subject He
said in Boston;

been since Shiloh, he coons criticism. The

was a generation planning a side walk,from
his pigeon-house at Galena to the railway

Grant's name is famous on account of his

from Washington to Richmond with skulls

daily dispatches to Stanton. 'Send down 20,-

Alexander.ll. Stephens.
[Wak.htngtoit Corresppndenee of the New York
erald:l
Alexander U. Stephens, in conversation
with a friend who saw him recently in Phil
adelphia, took a very despondent view of af
fairs in the South. He pronounced the
future before that section of the' country
fraught with gloom and disaster, and can see
nothing in the policy of reconstruction but
the operation of a fearful scheme, whose
ultimate result will be' the destruction of,
either the black or the white race. Every
day, he says, it becomes more painflilly evi
dent that the estrangement between the I
races is widening—on the part of the ne
grms from the effects ofsuch an institution as
teaches them to distrust and oppose the
whites, and on the part of the latter from an
abhorrence of the negro leaders and an in
stinctive aversion to be ruled and, legislated
for by ignorance and semi-barbarism. From
what fell under his own observation in
Georgia, he was unable :to detect anything
like a-spirit on either side tending to• mutual
sympathy of sentiment and 'interest. Radi
cal emissaries from the Nerth have sown the
seeds of evil dissension with a terrible earn
estness, and the diametric opposition of the
races now visible all over the South, must, in
the very nature'of things, lead, at some time
or other, to fearfulcollisions. This inevitable
result, Mr. Stephens declares, Its a divas:
sionate observer, forces itself irresistibly on
his attention. A war of races, desired by
some and indifferently heeded by others,
to his mind, a consequence as sure to happen,

The only defensible reason forreosastructs
tug the Southern State governments was the
purpose to confer Suffrage on the Freedmen '
in order.to • the protection of their rights.
Those governments were well enough in
every alter respect. If this single purpose
had controlled in the matter, the process
would have been comparatively simple and
unobjectinnahle. But party objects were al
lowed to be mixed in. It was thought It
would be a good thing so to manipulate.
the Southern governments as to secure the
votes of the reconstructed States for a Re
publican President. To accomplish this the
right to vote and hold office was taken - from
I all the southern whites who held office re
quiring an oath to support the Constitution of
the I. niteit States. This excluded at once
froin political life the most Intelligent classes
in the South, and those at the time best dis
posed to accept any terms sof reconciliation
that should be offered. This made recon
struction by - the white population or the
South impossible, for they naturally felt that
it would be dishonorable to abandon the
leaders who * shared with them the guilt of
the rebellion. Reconstruction-, was thus
thrown into the hands of the twelves, led by

who did not scruple to take any oath re
quired of them. That they should seek to
n power by the same policy which gave
t to them is a matter of course, and the first
new constitution framed virtually excludes
nearly every white man from suffrage and
office. It is so utterly indefensible on any
principle of justice end equality that its fram
ers fear its rejection by the registered voters,
and are begging them to accept it in thehope
that Congress will strike out its objectiona
ble provisions. ' -
The course of things in Congress just now
does not tend to sustain any such hope: It
is essential to the programme that the whites
of the South shall be in the minority, and the
determination seems to be to put it through
at all hazards. The last remains of civil
governments in the South are to be swept
away upon the declaration that they are not
"republican in form," though the - forms are
just what they always have beets The false
reason has some value, however, as showing
at least an appearance of respect for the
phases of the Constitution. But we have
not come to. the end of this business; we
cannot even see to it. ' The governments of
the minority in the South, and that minority
black, will find it nece s sary to be more and
more repressive, and will need a strong mili
tary force to maintain them. Is anybody so
insane as' to predict reconciliation of races,
true republican or even moderately just 'gov
ernment, and restore peace and loyalty as
the result of such a system ? If so, about how
soon? No, the system is fundamentally
wrong, and will inevitably wax worse and
worse. And men are already asking how
soon "political necessity" may lead Congress
to interfere with certain Northern States and
compel them to take the "republican form"
of negro suffrage and white disfranchise
ment.
NO. 36.
The , restoration of Secretary Stanton is
doubtless consistent with the tenure-of-office
act. A special provision was insertedin it,
indeed, to meet his case. But the discussion
has made it clear that the law cannot be de
fended upon general principles. To compel
a President to retain in his cabinet a man
with who'll friendly or respectful relations
are impossible, everybody feels t 9 be an out
sage. Having had its way and protected
Mr. Stanton, the Senate would do well to-re
peal at once the provision made for his case,
in behalf of which as a permanent rule not a
word can be said.
The proposition to get rid of General Han
cock by the indirect and cowardly dodge of
reducing the number of major-generals, is of
a piece with the schenie for preventing a de
cision against the constitutionality of recon
struction by hampering the Supreme. Court.
They both illustrate our theme, and show
how one wrong act makes another necessary,
and so legislation inevitably goes from bad
to worse. There is yet hope that the Sen
ate will arrest these measures. The same .
party exigency which. makes the two-thirds
rule necessary for 'the Supreme Court may
soon require that the Court shall be forbid
den to pronounce any act of Congress un
constitutional, even ir unaninious in that
opinion. There it absolutely no stopping
place in legislation of this. land. The de
scent to hell is easy, to be sure but how are
we to get back. it we ever wish to stand
again on terra irons! General Grant can
carry a pretty heavy load for us, but there
an' weights that even he cannot lift, and „
gulfs too broad even for him to cross. A
step too for may make return impossible.

Miss - Dickinson's perthrnmuce to -induce a

Miss Dickinson is voluble, and glibness gots

to the matter of tier discourse. it is not much

which we were sure, when we had listened
to her for five minutes, was a reminiscence of
something we laid heard before. All at once
it flashed on us that Miss Dickinson came
from Philadelphia and had imbibed her po

Then it was clear. Here WAS the same lurid
coloring of copperheads. the same 'eloquent
flummery about the flag, the same riotous
recklessness of vituperation, the same sleek
ignorance about everything, bolstered by the
same copious citations from newspapers, to
which the sage of his two papers, both dai

the sacred fire that afilates the sibyl of the
