Chicago Tribune for 1867.

| TENHE CHICAGO TRIBUN f is a bold, eaTn-
| a. est and straightforward Republican paper
| devoted to the cause of Freedom, Progress and
| Reform. Believing that Liberty. and not
| Bondage, is the saving principle ofthe Repub-
lie, it is enlisted into the Republican ranks,
not for campaign, but during the struggle
between Freedom and Slavery, 1t contends
for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote of the Fathers of the Republic in the Con-
gress OF 1897, that Slavery or involuntary SER
vitude shall never exist in territory now free
and it therefore insists that Kansas shall be free,
that Slavery shall be excluded ftom all Ma
tional Territory, and that the influence of the
General Government shall be exercised on the
side of Freedom. e:
THE TRIBUNE AS A NEWSPAPER.
The City of Chicago has become the news
centre, as well as the Commercial emporium,
of the.g great Northwest. The vast system OF
railroads terminating in it, afford facilities for
gathering intelligence from all directions with
great dispatch, and the Tribune is unrivalsod
in the West for its enterprise in this department
Its long and spacious columns are filed with
fresh and entertaining matter embracing. essays
tales, letters, narratives, poetry, politics, and
miscellaneous articles. The Tribune is elevated
III moral tone and eminently adapted to the
western home circle, and the ireside of intelli-
gent, freedom-loving families
THE TRIBUNE AS A COMMERCIAL PAPER.
The Tribune is the best commercial paper in
Chicago. No expense or labor is spared to
make its market reports reliable and satisfae-
tory, not only fer Chicago, but for the princi-
pal eastern markets. The Chicago quotations
are based on actual sales

Awake in me q truer life,

Awake in me truer life,
A soul to labor and aspire,
Touch thou my mortal lips, o God,
With thine own truths immortal fire
Give strength unto my spirits wing,
Give light unto my spirits eye,
And let the sunshine of thy smile
Upon my upward pathway lie!
Thus when my soul in thy pure faith,
Hath grown serene, and free, and strong
Thy greatness shall exalt my thought,
Thy love make beautiful my song.

pose of Immediately amending it By the
substitution Of another. conformed to the
views of the Free State majority of the
people. This lastseems to be the safe
sey; least liable to oobjections in ciFeun-
stances where no way is absolutely free
from objection; most likely to unite the
real friends of Kansas in the States, and
to secure efficient help in case of need;
mest likely, also, should hope. to mite
the Free State men of the Territory.
I was one of those who desired that
the Topeka Constitution might become
the FUNDAMENTAL law of Kansas; net that
/ thought it unexeeptionable, but because
it was identified with ali those early strug-
giles in which you took so prominent
part within the Territory, and with the
first efforts in behalf of Free State organ
lied governments in Kansas aided by
those of us who took part outside, But

through that Constitution. Results, moi

DIR. Bellows does not find in the report
ers of the New York press that infallibili-
ty that is claimed for them In tart let
ter to the New York Tribune, he says that
a paragraph giving an account of one of
his lectures, not only affords no idea of
what he did say, but makes him say ex-
actly what he was careful not to say. He
concludes:
"The employment of incompetent, IN
sufficient, or unreliable persons IN this re-
sponsible Office, is a serious injustice to
the community, and great offence against
those public men who ask no patronage
from the press, but only either entirely neg
lect or correct reports of their public per-
formances.
"Aliow me, in correction of any SEEM
ing asperity in these lines, to give you a
recent experience of reporting, which may
amuse your readers. In urging the appli-
cation of religion to the daily duties OF

Those Pledges.

Gov. WALKER, in his letter of the Goth
of February, to the Indianapolis Gonven-
ton says, in regard to his pledges made to
the people of Kansas:
"These pledges and these alone, it is
conceded, prevented revolution and civil
war. And why should they not now be
redeemed For myself, these pledges
have been thus far most faithfully main-
tanned, and they will be redeemed by me,
if necessary, with the last drop of my
life's blood, and to the latest hour of my
existence. These were pledges well
known to the President and all his Cabi-
net. They were pledges given by me in
good faith, and any abandonment of them
new on my part, after people had ac-
eepted and acted upon them, would be to
cover myself with infamy and dishonor
Whatever, then, may be the action of the.
wavering, tirnid, or corrupt, menace and
prescription have no terrers for me.

science and duty callme, regardless of all
consequences or sacrifices. personal or po-
litical.''

fubllsh our views al Length.

We wish the administration journals,
which take such pleasure in copying
disjointed sentences and paragraphs from
the Herald of Freedom, would have the
kindness to copy some of our articles at
length. Should they do SO, their readers
would observe that we occupy different
position from that which they represent.
The Lecompton Swindle, which they rep
resent us as favoring, is equal1ed in
moral depFaVity by no similar production
jn'the world. The people of Kansas, of
all parties. loath and detest it; and if
compelled to use it to institute govern
ment of the people, they will do so under
a protest, and will feel that they are pass
ing through a sluiceway of filth TO arrive
at their honest position. Congressmen
Of all parties, who love the right for the
sake of the RIGHT, are expected to labor
to defeat it; not because civil war will
follow, but because it is.wrong per Sc, and
because it does violence to the people of
Kansas, and outrages the entire spirit and
genius of our institutions.

as follows

the Herald, whether we come nearer to
sustaining that party than those who have
advocated letting that party have every
thing its own way. One policy was to
leave the polls and offices in the hands Of
our enemies. Another was to take pos

must Judge which course has secured their
