THE IRIBUNE For 1857.

TIME Election is past and its result proves that
L work devolved or the Republican party is not yet
completed In all the Eastern and Northern portions
fhe country-in New England, New York Ohio and the
North W est-the Republican banner floats in trumph;
while in Southern Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana and
IIinois-in short wherever few newspapers taken,
and where common schosls too and too feeble
20 have educated the present generation Of voers-the
black flag Of slavery obstructs the sunshine stran
ger America might distinguish those portions Of
Nountry most blessed with Education, Intelligence,
Thrift and Virtue by scanning the returns Of the Pre
dental contest of Isjj We have failed of present
cess tho People against u.s. but because
TIA. large portion who did not hear read tho argu
ment and do not know waat the real questions at
issue, went almot solid against reversing TIE
dict which the great majority OF the educated and intel
ligent endeavorcd to pronounce.
Ihcse facts indicate the patti OF pressing duty With
no abatement of heart h"pe because the triumph of
Liberty in her ordeal is no at the Long Island
and White Plains of her struggle-wth 70 shadow Of
regret that responsibility of governing is conf
del to champions before the People fully ready
sustain them-we begin afresh the work of difusing
aat vital truth which, in regard 10 the OF his
world as we'll as of the next makes Free indeed. Now
in the Slave Powers heyday Of vctory when its minis
iers and seryitors gthe ring and plotting make the
most of their triumph and .'crush out the spirit which
they ylnly believe cruci1ed and entOmbed-nOw,
when the flint hearted cod-hcartcd who lately
cd in the sunshine Of our nature hopes are hauling
OF their damages AMI talking Of abandoning the rug

now in this hour of wearness and s4dow THE TRIBUNE
reuews its Of eternal hostility to form OF
tyranny the bodies souls Of mento the shame

reu-to the domination of despots and garcis, whch
of empires plantat onsto the onslayers Of cities
and Kingdoms in Europe the breeders of children 70;
The auction block and the cotton-held in Virginia
Alabama.
The doctrine that human being created for
the benefit advantage OF anotherhat all service be
tween and should be free and recprocal-that
the laborer should toll and pamper others
pride or minister others luxury, but for the
nance and comfort those and dear to him--is
destined certain triumph IL must prevail, for God
regns, and Earth not created be theatre of in
Justice, oppression and misery for 1t tr
umph; for all prophecy arms and the vndication
OF the Divine beuiguty imperatyely requires it, 1t
triumph; for Democratic America cannot always
remain the SCOT of arsocrats and the shame of reform
ers and liberals throughout the Old World 1t must
triumph for Mans history is chaos a riddle,
but everywhere instinct with meaning and heroic
effort ever failed Of its efect-Ho drop of martyr blood
was ever shed in vain.
But even if VIC Republicans disposed to fold oar
arms in slumbcr, our adversures would permit it..
They busy to-day in lengthening their cords and
strengthening their stakes with a vigilance and activity
which reveals consciousness their part that their
dominion must be made forthwith their scepler
