TIE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.


minated without excitement. Whoever cherishes
such an illusion mistakes the character of the Amer
lean People and the impulses which sway them
Equally idle is the Imagination that Party lines are
to be eflaced and broken down in this contest-that
the prestige OF some heroic achievement or the gilt
ter Of an epaulette is to chase from the popular
mind all memory Of the radical differences OF SEN
tment which have so often arrayed one-half our
countrymen in fierce conflict with the other. Idle
chmeras these! offspring Of an empty heart or a
sckly brain! With the progress Of events par
ticular measure may become more or less important,
the emphatic assertion of a certain principle more
or less essential but the question OF questions re-
mains and will remain. Atone time, the establish
nent or maintenance of a Sound and Uniform Cur
rency; at another, the upbuding and cherishing of
new or feeble branches OF Home Industry; ot an
other the proper disposition of the Proceeds Of the
Public Lands at a fourth, Peace or War, SpOlia-
ton or Justice; but underneath all these, mightier
than any, more enduring than ALL lives ever the ell
emental difference in which parties have their orr
gin-on one side the idea that Government should
! be CREATIVE, Constructive, BEEEFICEET; on the
other, the negative, skeptcal, do-nothing element
whose axioms are "'The best Government is that
which governs least" "The People are inclined to
expect too much from Government" &c.,-which
sees in a Canal, Railroad, Harbor, Protective
Duty, only means Of enriching few individuals
at the expense of the community, and which cannot
conceive how any can be benefited by apublic work
without inhcting injury in at least equal measure
upon others. The fundamental axioms of this neg
ative philosophy are really hostile to Common
Roads and Common Schools required and sustained
bv Law, as well as to those elements of National
Iwell-being against which it now directs the ener-
gies of a great party. The antagonism Of senti-
ment growing out of these conflicting views Of the
nature and true ends of Government cannot, in the
nature of things, be lastngy compromised; it can
not be terminated by the result of any one election
1t must be potentially felt in the party contests and
popular agitations OF many years to come.
On this and all the great questions growing out
of it, The TRIBUNE maintains emphatically the doc
trines of the Wing Party. 1t advocates Protection
to Home Industry, wherever such Protection may
be needed, and to the extent OF the necessity; a
National Currency, sound and of uniform value
composed Of Coin and Paper in such proportions as
public interest and general convenience shall die
tate; Internal Improvement, by the General ant
State Governments each in its own sphere, and BY
Associations literally melted thereto by such ia
cties as Legislation may safely and justly afford
and such disposition of the Public Land Proceeds al
shall secure the benefit thereof to the People of al
: the States throughout all future time. Above all
this paper will study the things that make for Peace
! and strenuousy oppose the fell spirit of War, thu
lust of Conquest and the passion for Military Glory
SO mortally adverse to all the ideas of Social AM
Political Economy to which it is devoted, as a mil
dew to genuine Democracy, as utterly at variance
with Christianity, and scandal to the Nineeentl
f, Century. These views will be faithfully and fear
lessly commended to public favor; while our oppo
e sition to the Extension of Human Slavery over on
foot of soil where it has not now legal existence
shall be unsparing, unCOmpromisng and subject t
no consideration of Party advantage or Presiden
tia triumph. Far sooner will we sink with our prin
z ciples than succeed without them, however desra
Bile success or however Notifying defeat.
\ THE TRIBUNE will endeavor to commend itself t
, all classes of readers by the lullness of its intel
gence as well as the fairness of its discussions
# With this intent one Assistant Editor will renal
