The great union party has just achieved
the most glorious and important triumph
in the history Of our nation in the re-cl G.
ton Of Abraham Lincoln in the presidency.
The destiny Of our beloved country will be
entrusted to that we'll tried and pure states
man. These coming four years will make
more history than was ever allotted to any
like period. Its more striking features
will embrace the crushing of the rebellion
BY the power OF the sword, the restoration
Of the Union, and the freedom Of every
slave that trcads American soil. For these
mc' snres the people have declared in thun-
der tones, and their emphatic voice will be
obeyed. While these great events are
tr"nsriring. no man-poor or rich-canaf-
lord to do without newspaper. 1t is us
necessary as his daily bread.
The Chicago Tribune is before you.
The well-known and popular journal.
noted for avowing its sentiments with can
dor. fearles>ncss, and independence. 1t
aims TO be right rather than popular, and
takes the responsibility of telling the truth
regardless Of the otfensc that may be given
i The principles aud objects Which The
Chicago Tribune espouscs are:
The Cause Of Freedom,
Justice aud humanity,
e>s3'} sPerpetuity Of the Union,
Obedience to the Constitution,
and Supremacy Of the Laws.
A Denial Of the Right of
Rebel to hold any Loyal
Person i'll Slavery, and an
Aftirmancc that Rebels have
No Right under the
Constitutions, until
,.. They first Obey it,
And the prosecution Of the war against
treason until the authority Of the govern
mcnt is established over the whole Union.
There must he no faltering-no steps
backward. Failure now will entail disbon-
or and misery, rendering insecure life and
property, and leaving the country prey
to .anarchy; rapine, and murder. Too
much precious blood and valuable treasure
have been sacrificed to stop now. The
cheapest aud shortest road to enduring
peace is straightforward. If it cost our
forefathers seven years of fearful struggle
to found the republic, it is surely worth as
great an effort on the part of this genera
ton to preserve it. -
We have an abiding faith that the ensu-
ing year will witness the complete over
throw Of the rebel confcderacy. During the
last year great victories have been won,
and Il territory larger than France or Ger
many has been wr:sted from the rebels
aud restored to the Union. One more cam
paign by sea and land '.will close forever
the fountains Of sedilion aud cruel war;"
The Chicago Tribune is a western news
paper, male up in the West. and devoted

snancial. Ii No Western merchant, banker,
farmer, mechanic, drovcr, or manufacture

spcct a frst-class newspaper.
