Pre-emiDeptly journal Of News and Of
Literature, The Tribune has political con-
victions, which are well characterized by
the single word Republican. 1t is Re-
publican in its hearty adhesion to the
great truth that God has made Of one
blood all nations Of neutrality-suspicious.
in its assertion of the equal and inslicn.
able rights OF all men to ''Iife, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness RepuLli.
can in its steady, earnest and defiant hos.
ti!itY to every scheme and effort of the
Slave Power. from the Annexation of
Texas to the great Rebellion, to grasp
the empire of the New World and WELD
the resources of our country for it's own
aggrandizement-Repub in its an
,Rgonism TO tho aristocrats and de,pots
of the Old World, who fondly hail in
the peril: and calamitiea suddenly thrust
upon US by their American counterpart,
the overthrow and rain of the Model
Repubiic-Republiean in its hope aud
trust, its faith md effort, that this attro-
cions rebellion must result in the sign Il
overthrow of its piotters, and the firm
establishment Of equal rights and equal
laws throughout the whole extent of our
country, wherein Liberty md Uuion
shall indeed be "one snd inssperabs'
henccforth and forever.
The Tribune devotcs attention In calm
er times, and to some extent in these, to
Education, Temperance. Agriculture, In
ventions, and whatever else may trinister
to the spiritual and material progress aud
wel-being of ma kind; but for the pre-
sent its energies and its columns arc
mainly devoted to the invigoration and
success of the War for the Union. It's
special correspondents accompany every
considerable army and report every i'm
portant incident of that great struggls
which we trust is soon to result in the
signal and conclusive triumph of the Ma.
tional arms and in the restoration of
Pence and Thrift to our distracted and
bleeding country. We believe that no
otherwise can q fuller or more accurais
view of the progress and character of
this momentous conflict be obtained than
through the reguIar perusal of our col
umns. And we earnestly solicit the co.
operation Of MI friends of the National
cause. which we regard end uphold %

extending its circulation.

ties but they have been barren of results.
To any one who has carefully read the his
tory OF that army, il must be apparent that
the evil which ncuiralIzes its efforts, is the
jealousy amounting TO INSTRUMENTATION, that
exists among the officers. Before that force
can become power, it must have couman-
