THE ONLY RECOGN [ZED DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN NEW YORK, DAUA', S EMI-WEE K . LY AND WEEKLY. TO THE PTTBTJIC. rpilE NEW YORK NEWS 11 As BATTLED 1 against despotism foi' tunr years of blood and terror, in assertion of the sanc? tity of the Constitution. A patriotism sufficiently broad to embrace both sections bas boen its onlv guide, and it refers now with honest pride to its record to show that it, oas not turned to tho right or the left under all thc violence of arbitrary power. True to tts principles as THE NEW4' has been through the reign of terror, it chal? lenges pubhc confidence in its honesty anil independence for the future. Thc political transition of the present day opens to THE NEWS a new and wider field of usefulness. Standing now, as it always has, on the inviolability of the Con? stitution, according to tho interpretation of tho strict constructionists, it presents a rallying ground for all, in both sections, who are friends of a generous conservatism. Asa true and tried exponent of sectional amity, it occupies a position which makes it the titting 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 elec? tion, to trial by jury, to the sanctity of tho habeas corpus, and opposed now. a's for four years "f terror it has been, to the cen? tralization that dares to trample- on thc rights <>f State;'. North or South, THE NEWS places itself as a candidate for sup? port before the great body of this once free people. The circumstances of the moment make tho dissemination of the principles of THE NEWS a duty of individual patriotism. Every man who concurs in its doctrine must, if he entertain a true sense of free? dom, do so in no spirit of indifference, but rather with thc earnestness of a high trust . Justified, nay bound, in his love of liberty, to do si i. the proprietor pl a ees the canvass lie makes here of thc public generally in the hands of those men who give him the ap? proval of their consciences as his individual agents. Every reader of Tur. NEWS cannot avoid the conviction of duty which is here pointed out as the ground of the request, that he urges its claims for a wider support upon all ot bis friends and neighbors who give their earnest sympathies to the cause of "strict construction, intcrsectional con- ? ciliation, anil all the rights of the citizens under the system set np by our fathers of liberty regulated by law. The proprietor of THE NEWS calls, therefore, upon good and true Conservatives throughout thc country, to discharge, to their convictions of political right at this great crisis in the country's fortunes, the duty of giving to the iul?uence of his paper, daily, semi? weekly or weekly, the wider power for good which it seeks here through the service of its individual supporters.
