The New York Day-Book Is a stredghtforward Radical Demi:ratio paper, with a larger circu lation than any other Democratic ournal over published on this continent, and it enters on the threshold of ISM more prosperous and more hopeful Of the great commit upholds than ever before,- Standing on the Declaration of lode pendent*, that "all (white) men are equal," and therefore entitled to equal righte; It is opposed to all forms and degrees of special legisation that con fl ict with this grand central truth of Democracy, and over all and above all , does it comhqt that monstrous treason to American liberty, which, thrusting the negro element in to one political syste must of neeesaitywrecg the wholeMlghty W,r i o left us by air Lathers. God has created white -men superior and se• Erinferior, and therefore all the efforts of , past six yeara to abolish Hie work and equalize with negroes—every law violated, eve• ry State Constitution. overthrown, every life sacrificed. and every dollar expended, are ne cessarily,ingt so many steps towards national suicide; and the aimple and awful proLlemnew upon us is Just this—shall we recover our rea son and retrace our steps, or March on to Mon grearllernnt, social ry anarchy, and the total ruin of o a:wi. The Day Book, therefore, demands the resto ration of the "Ultima as it wan"--a Union of to equal States upon the white basis. as the only hope, and the only means posibleunder heaven for saving the grand ideas of 1:71, and the fund amental priclples of American liberty, and if the real freemen, and the earnest believers in that sacnid and glorious cause in which the men of the Revolution; of up their lives, will now labor hi expose the ignoranee,delusion and treason of the Mongrel party, it will Rae. ceed, and the white Republic of Washington be restated again in all its original Intleence 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 families, who take no other Jourual,beyond perhaps their local paper, It wilt continue and improve , Its "News of the Week" Hanimary, so as to present a transcript of the World's events in eaeti,isaue. Its "Fam ily Department" will embrace the best original and selected stories. Its "Agricultural Depart ment" will be folly studitined,and being the only paper of its class made up expressly for country cirtmlatien, It Is confident it is' worth double the price of a weekly hurriedly reprint ed from a dally.
