POLITICAL ISSUES.

POLITICAL ISSUES.
We are entering upon year that will be memo
rable in the annals of American politics-the year
that will witness, we trust, the election of Re-
publican President and the national triumph of
Republican Principles. The great issues to be
submitted to jury of the whole people, are these:
Shall Slaverybe extended and protected by the
Federal Government? Shall the public domain
the Free Territories of the Nation, be surrendered
to the blighting intrusion of Slavery Shall the
Constitution be construed to recognize and support
Slavery as National institution? Shall Slave
Code for the Territories be enacted? Shall the
African Slave Trade be re-opened? In short, shall
the doctrines of Calhoun, Judge fancy, and
eminent taught by Jefferson Madison and Clay
These questions will demand verdict at the hands
of the American people
And there are other important considerations to
be decided by the next campaign. Among these
are, Free Homesteads for the landless. Improve
ment of rivers and harbors. A Railroad to the
Pacific on a central route. Encouragement eff the
Manufacturing and Farming industry of the
country. Retrenchment and Reform in the Federal
expenses "a restoration, in fact of the spirit
simplicity, and policy, of the earlier and purer
days of the Republic.
On all these questions and issues the Press AND
TRIBUNE will occupy no neutral ground, but will
ever be found an earnest champion on the side that
will promote FREEDOM, PRoGREss AND PROSPERITY.
