THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE,
! We are on the eve Of another Presidential Elec-
tOn. Let none fancy thst since II is spproaehef
80 calmly, il will be conducted suggishly and ter
minated without excitement. Whoever cherishes
such an illusion mistakes the character Of the Amer
ican People tnd the impulses which sway them
Equally idle is the Imagination that Party lines are
10 be efsced and broken down in this coutest-that
the prestige of some heroic achievement or the gilt
ter Of an epauette is TO chase from the popular
mind ali memory Of the radical differences Of sen
tment which have 50 often srrayed one-half our
countrymen in fierce conflict with the other Idle
chimeras these! offspring Of an empty heart or
sicky brain! With the progress Of events a par
ticular measure may becon more or lees important,
the emphatic assertion OF a certain principle more
or less essential, but the question Of questions r.
mains and will remain. Atone time, the establish
ment maintenance of a Sound and Uniform Cur
rency; at another, the upbudlng and cherishing Of
new or feeble branches of Home Industry; at an
otheE the proper disposition Of the Proceeds of the
! Public Lands; at fourth, Peace or War, Spolia-
ton or Juslice but underneath all these, mighter
than any, more enduring than ALL lives ever the el
emental difference in which parties have their orr
gin-on one side the idea that Government should
be CREATIVE, Constructive, BEEEFICENT; on the
other, the negative, skeptcal, do-nothing element
z
which governs least" "The People are inclined tn
expect too much from Government" &c.-whici
sees in Canal, Railroad, Harbor, Protective
Duty, only means Of enrichng few individuals
at the expense OF the community, and which cannot
conceive how any can be benefited by public work
without infictng injury in at least equal measure
upon others The fundamental axOms Of this neg
ative philosophy are really hostile to Common
Roads and Common Schoals0 0quired and sustained
| by Law, as well as to those elements of National
wel-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 Of any election.
1t must be potentially felt in the party contests and
popular agtations OF many years to come.
On this and all the great questions growing out
of it, The TRIBUNE maintains emphatically the doc
trnes 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 and
State Governments, each ir its own sphere, and by
Associations literally melted thereto by such fa-
cilities as Legislation may safely and Justly afcrd
and such disposition of the Public Land Proceeds as
shall secure the benefit thereof to the People of all
the States throughout all future time. Above ALL
this paper will study the things that make for Peace
and strenuously oppose the fell spirit of War; the
lust of Conquest and the passion for Military Glory
so mortally adverse to all the ideas of Social and
Political Economy to which it is devoted as mil.
dew to genuine Democracy, as utterly at variance
with Christianity, and as scandal to the Nineteenth
Century. These views will be faithfully and fear
lessy commended to public favor; while our oppo-
siton to the Extension of Human Slavery over one
foot of soil where it has not now a legal existence
shall be unsparing, uncompromising and subject to
no consideration of Party advantage or Presiden.
tial triumph. Far sooner will we sink with our prin-
ciples than succeed without them, however desira-
bic success or however Notifying defeat
The TRIBUNE will endeavor to commend itself to
all classes Of readers by the luness of its intelli-
gence well as the fairness of its discussions
With this intent one Assistant Editor will remain
at Washington during the Session of Congress,
giving daily reports of sayings and dongs in the
Houses and elsewhere two European Correspon-
dents will transmit Us regular dispatches from the
Old World; while no expense will be grudged in
procuring the earliest and most reliable information
from all parts of the world. Reviews of New Books
of decided interest and selections from the Popular
Literature of America and Europe will be frequent.
ly given, with occasional reports of Public Lee
lures of high character; but it shall be our first OBJ
ject to present fair and full picture of the REAL
world, only varied at intervals by excursions into
the realm of the ideal.
