The Tribune giving way before the overwhel

this resolution Baked in its declaration for the
third result, the great Corypheus Of abolition at
once declared for the fourth. Unable to get
dissolution Of the Union the Tribune, under the
resistless pressure Of the patriotic enthusiasm
of the North. declai ed for a restoration of the
Union as il was
And to this declaration the Tribune adhered
more or less apparently. until under the inspira-
ton of the purpose thus defined, the military
strength of the loyal States was SO developed
to render the overthrow of the rebellion but
question of time The Tribune then began to
discountenance the restoration of the Union as
IL was, and. ms the fortunes OF the rebellion sank
lower aud lower, became more open in the adyo
cacy OF contrary policy.
At last the rebellion has reached stage which
the Tribune thus represents:

this completes the demonstration we set out to
give. Having first declared for disunion. aud

This Is at present the "wny" OF the Tribune.

mentioned. would declare again for disunion on
the slave line No candid man, who considers
the Trbune's record since the last Presidential
election, can escape thus conclusion.
The main truth OF the matter is very manifest.
The ruling purpose of the Tribune Is not the
preservation of the Union. nor yet the abolition
OF slavery. but the continued supremacy OF the
abolition purity; and whatever promises 10 secure
that supremacy. whether disuuon or consolida-
ton. war or peace, slavery or abolition, the
Tribune will declare for. without regard 10 the
rights and interests either of the negro white
man AMI as is the Tribune so are the radical

unocks the whole radical mystery And the
review we have here given establishes this tact.
