The right Of each man, by virtue of his
birth or his naturalization as citizen of
the United States, to the full enjoyment
of 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi-
ness" until he shall forfeit the right BY
crime, is also established on impregnable
foundations. Our fathers proclaimed it
in justifying their separation from Great
Britain; it was left TO us to establish as a
fact what they merely affirmed as prin~

obstacles to surmount, pcris to avert,
noble ends to be achieved but the ship
of State has ridden out the tempest and
has her haven full in view.
The Tribune will contend, in the future
as in the past, for Universal Amnesty as
we'll as for Impartial Suffrage. 1t has no
faith in vengeance. in prescription, in con-
