NETWORK TRIBUNE.

= We are on the eve of another Presidential Flee
on. Let none fancy that, since it is approaching
i calmly, it will be conducted sluggishly and ter
mated without excitement. Whoever cherishcs
ch an illusion mistakes the character of the Amer
an people and the impulses which sway them
qually idle is the imagination that Party lines are
3 be efaced and broken down in this contcst-that
G prestige Of some heroic achievement or the gilt
Of an epaulette is to chase from the popular mind
memory Of the radical differences of sentiment
#hich have so often arrayed one-half our country
en- in fierce conflict with the other. Idle chime
S these! offspring Of an empty heart or sclly
& nin! With the progress Of events particular
easure may become more or less important, the
$nphatc assertion Of a certain principle more or
IS essential but the question Of questions remains
I'D will remain. AT one time, the establishment or
aintenance Of a Sound and Uniform Currency; at
other, the upbuildng and chcrishing of new Or
eble branches of Home Industry; at another, the
oper disposition of the Proceeds of the Public
lnds; at fourth, Peace or War, Spoliation or
stice; but underneath all these, mighter than
&y more enduring than all, lives ever the elemen-
"a difference in which parties have their origin-on
he side the idea that Government should be Crea-
'e, Constructive, Bonefcer' on the other, the
&gative, skeptcal, do-nothng clement, whose
IONS are "1he best Government is that which
verns least" "Ihe People arc inclined to expect
much from Government" &c.-which sees in a
NAL a Railroad, II Harbor,a Protective duty, only
means of enriching few individuals at the eX-

W any can be benefited by public work without

osophy are really hostile to Common Roads and

felt in the party contests and popular agtations
many years to come.
ION this and all the great questions growing out oil
S The Tribune maintains emphatically the doc
Inc of the Wing Party. 1t advocates Protection
Home Industry, wherever such Protection may
needed, and to the extent of the necessity; Ma
bnal Currency, sound and of uniform value, COM
Psed of Coin and Paper in such proportions as
blic interest and general convenience shall dictate;
ternal Improvement, by the General and State
overnments each in its own sphere, and by Asso-
#ations literally melted thereto by such facilities
Legislation may safely and justly afford and
Hch disposition of the Public Land Proceeds as
all secure the benefit thereof to the people Of all
e States throughout all future time. Above all,
is paper will "study the things that make for
eace," and strenuousy oppose the fell spirit OF
ar, the lust of Conquest and the passion for Mill
lry Glory, so MORALLY adverse to all the ideas of
bcia and Political Economy to which it is devoted,
