and bonefcent system of Finance Nth such modi-

Just diffusion of its benefits to all sections of our
Country, all generations Of our Pcople-these we
have ever heartily approved, and shall still ardcnty
commend Yet our ideas of Public Policy are boun-
ded by no narrow horizon of party, but embrace
measures which stretch beyond the purvew of any
existing party. The Right of Man to Labor, and
TO Land whcreon to Labor, a reasonable limitation
by statute of the Hours Of daily Toll, the preserva
ton TO each family of Homestead exempt from
the grasp of the usurpcr shcrli-thesc and other
measures of Universal Reform, will from time to
time be explained and commended through our col
umns. And, most imminent of all, the prGscWa-
ton Of the Territories lately added by conquest to
our already vast Country from the blasting treadof
the slave-dealer and his gangs Of human chattels
Will be pressed upon the understandings and con-
sciences of the American People with the urgency
OF apprehension and the zeal ofintCnscst conviction
During the last year our arrangements for For
cign Correspondence and for Editorial assistance
We been considerably extended and improved
We shall endcavor still farther to perfect them
Certainly, no letters from Europe have proicred to
their readers clearer insight into the causes and
origin OF the late astounding revolutions than ours
have. The proceedings Of Congress will be rcpor-
ted expressly for our columns by able correspon-
dents, while the most important doings Of the sew
eral State Legislatures will be fairly presented. In
short, we are resolved that no American journal
shall exceed the Tribune in the variety, extent or
accuracy of its Intelligence while to Literature,
Poetry and Art we devote all the space that can be
spared from the topics of the day.
