POLlIICAlI RECORD OFtYHE IRlBU nh. -
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, now approaching its
twenty-second year, Is recognized as the lead
ing organ ana exponent of the great RepuDll-
can Union party of the Northwest. Its circu-
lation exceeds the combined issues of the other
Chicago dailieS. Since the Republican party
was organized in ISL, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
as is % aa aad rs
was chiefly Instrumental in making known
the merits of the great and good Abraham
Lincoln to the people OF the other States there
by securing his nomination for President.
During the entire period ofthe shareholders
rebellion it advocated the most vigorous and
radical measures for the unconditional Sup-
preston OF that desperately wicked attempt to
destroy free government; and when the inSur-
rection was finally crushed. THE CHICAGO
TRIBUNE insisted on the earliest reconstruc-
ton and readmiSSion of the insurgent States,
on the basis of equal and exact justice to all
men, and on the Indispensable condition that
loyal men should have an equal voice with
rebels in the administration of public affairs,
believing that enduring peace and public tran
guilty could be obtained on no lower platform.
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, therefore, heartily
endorses the Reconstruction acts ofCongrcss,as
founded on justice and public safety, and urges
the speedy admission OF the insurgent Stafes
to participation in the government of the
Union, ON those terms. ..G. t .t#t3

saved the Union, shall administer the govern

shall be allowedt o pass into the hands of those
who openly or ,coveftiy sought to destroy it,
and who now with the aid Of our apostate Ex-
ecutiye, seek to elevate Treason above Loyal

Union and Reputation above National Faith.
