THE TRIBUNE FOR 1858.
Prospectus.


THE year 1865 win long be remembered for
! l. It's settlement Of the boundry question be-
tween AristOeraey of Color and Impartial Hu.
man Liberty. The War of the Rebellion being
closed, we have now to decide whether the fun.
| damental idea which impelled and justified the
Rebellion shall dominate over our whole cOun-
try, molding her institutions and shaping her
destiny. II 1t be true that God has not created
all men, but only all White men, in His own
image, and made them equal in political and civ
IL rights, then 1t Is Worldwide cal amity that
Grant did not surrender to Lee at Appomattox ;
and THE Lost Cause. " trodden into mire under
the hoofs Of Sheridan's rough-ridng cavalry,
not only should but will be regained In Consll-
tutional Conventions aud at the ballot-boxes. If
the Black race, because they are Black, should
be exc luded from the jury-box aud repealed from
the ballot-box then Stonewall Jackson ought TO
head the roll of American martyrs, emblazoned
high above the names of Warren and Mercer and
Pulaski of Ellsworth, Lyon, Baker, REYNOLDS,
Wadsworth, Kearny, Sedgwick and Mcpherson.
II is difficult to argue with blind, besotted
piejudce, grounded In Ignorance and fortified
by self conceit. Devoid Of reason, 1t is hardly
amenable to reason. But millions who would
listen unmOvcd TO appeals based on Justice and
Humanity can be stirred by facts which affect
their own interest and safety. The naked truth
that every Southern State reconstructed ON the
White basis is to-day Rebel State-shaped and
ruled by men who execrated Lmcoln's reluctant
and tardy resistance to The Rebellion as cause
less and criminal aggression, and profoundly re-
joiced over Bull Run as their victory-will prove
inyincible, II VIC can but bring 1t home to the
apprehension of every loyal voter There Is no
paramount question Of good faith or gratitude to
the Blacks Their votes are us necessary to the
preponderance of White loyaltyas as to their own
protection and security. Reconstruct the South
on tue White basis, and every one of the fifteen
States which held slaves In 1860 will be intense
ly, overwhelmingly Copperhead henceiOrth and
eyermore. Allow to-day the plea that the Blacks
are ignorant aud degraded, and those whom YOU
thereby clothe with power will take good care
that the plea shall be as valid aud wel-grOunded
a century hence as It now is Public Education
and Civil Rights for the Freedmen can only be
achieved and maintained through the ballot.
We are for Negro Suffrage The way Mey suffer
ed IN New Orleans, was the inscription on ban
ncr borne in a late Conservative or Democratic
procession In Baltimore aud the spirit which
dictated that ayowal is still rampant i The South
But for what is stigmatized as Military Despot-
ism, 1t would daily avcnge by outrage and iniiic-
ton what 1t deems negro treaehVryto the South
ern cause.
THE TRIBUNE has declined to be lured or turn
ed aside from the Main Question II has per-
sistently re fused to swell the elamor for yenge-
ance on the defeated Rebels. whether by erecu-
ton or by confscaton; and one of its strong
reasons for this course Is n conviction that no
drop OF Rebel blood could be cOoy, deliberately
shed without essentially clouding the prospect
OF securing the Right of Suffrage to the Blacks.
Defying the madness Of passion and the blind
ness OF sh0rI-slghted misconception ii has de-
manded Reconstruction on the 6usis of Universal
Amnesty with Impartial Suffrage in perfect con-
sciousness of the fact that it thereby alenated
thousands who had been its Jealous supporters
and lifelong patrons. The hour of its complete
vlndicatlon cannot be far distant.
As Tor the man who Is to be the chosen stand
ard.bearer OF the Republican hosts in the i'm
pending contest, while we aVow our deliberate
preference OF Chief Justice Chase as the ablcst
and most eminent of our living statesmen, THE
Tribune VIII render hearty cheerful deter.
