The Chicago Tribune. now approaching its
twenty first year, is recognized as the leading
gan ana exponent Of the great patriotic dcfni-
nant Republican party of the Northwest. The
Tribune is no ephemeral concern of doubtful da-
ration, but permanently established institution,
known and respected throughout the United
States. Its circulation exceeds the combined IS
sues Of other Chicago dailies. Its past record and
career may be pointed 10 with pride and pleasure
by its conductors. Since the Republican party
was organized, the Chicago Tribune has stood by
ii, through evil well as good report; never in
the rear, bnt alwaysin the front, beekoning il on
ward and upward; never faItering or weary, but
always hopeful earnest, fearless. Its blows have
falleE necessarily slsYery, oligarehy and trea-
son, DuriRg the entire period Of the rebellion il
blew no uncertain blasts, but sounded the charge
and chpered on the defenders of freedom to renew
ed efforts, assuring them Of a glorious triumph
for the right as the reward Of perseverance and
sacrifice.
And now, when the wicked rebellion is crushed,
the oligarchy conquered, ard slavery abolished,
the ChiesEo Tribune insists that the legitimate
fruits OF victory shall not be yielded back 10
vanqufshed rebels by an apostate Executive, who
has baselJ and wickedly betrayed the loyal peo-
pfc who intrusted him with Presidential powers.
The Tribune opens new campaign to secure to
the Union an enduring peace, and reeonstruc-
ton based on the principles of EQUAL RIGHTS
AND EXACT JUSTICE TO ALL MEN! 1t
therefore advocates Impartial Suffrage, irrespec-
tive of color or birthplace Right wrongs no man.
and M rfuhfc ahrid0ad dcr aar a-nd
by giving to every iaw-abiding citizen cH his
rights. And no scheme of reconstruction win
prove satisfactory enduring that denies equal
civil and political rights and privileges to any
class Of loyal citizens. Nc Democrat can oppose
impartial suffrage and equal rights without shame
ful inconsistency and qualification And the
Soath can never be truly freq prosperous or hap
py until all its citizens are recognized as equal
before the law, and equal in making the laws,
which they must obey, regardless Of color or ro-
sition:
The Chicago Trf5sne sincerely believes in the
principles Of the Declaration of independence, and
is therefore Radical in its aims, impulses and
endeavors, and is confident Of Witnessing, at an
early day, the acceptance and adoption Of the be-
nefcent doctrines of Republieanism in every see
ton and subdivision Of our common country.
The readers Of the Tribune viii bear testimony
that the policies it has opposed have generally
been discarded; the measures it has supported
have nearly all been adopted, and that its predic
tions have been singulariy verified. The secreto of
its influence public affairs is, that it espeuses
wrong, boldly; and the glass with which it sees
into the future is implicit faith in the power Of
Truth and the ultimate Triumph Of Right.

Tribune, while fearless in the expression of its
