The New York Trihune--Is7I.

ueVaStallOns, the American Idea embOd- /
led in the preamble to our fathers De-
caration of independence approaches its
complete realization. The noble, inspir-
ing assertion that call men are created |
equal" and endowed by their Creator
with iuolicnablc rights to life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness, is no longer a
glittcring generality, poets fancy,
philosophers speculation, but the rccog-
niacd base Of our political fabric. The !
benign Revolution, which dates from the
Boston Massacre of l776, finds its logi-
cal completion, just ono century later, in
the NNth Amendment, which gives to
the equal political and civil rights of
every man born or nnturnlzcd in our
licpublic the shield and defense of the
Federal Constitution. The pillows of
Caste and Privilege may roar and rage
around that rock, and may trnnacntly |
seem on the point of washing il away :
but ita foundations arc dccpaid and
sicadIhsi, and the breakers of Reaction
and Slavery are hurled against aud dash
their spray over it in vain,
We do not undcrrnic the forces Of Pre-
jadcc mud Arisiocrocy We do not for
get that n very large minority Of the
American People still hold in their in
most hearts that Blacks have no rights
which Whites are bound to respect. We |
fully appreciate the desperation where
with all the warning elements Of hatred 10 |
Republican achievement will be comgincd |
and hurled against the bnitlcmcnts OF
Republican asccndcncy in the Prcaidcn.
tial Election Of 1872 Vet our faith is
clear and strong that the American pco-
pie still bless God that, the Union was
upheld and Slavery destroyed, aud will /
never consciously decide that the precious
blood thereon poured out was layshcd in
vain.
THE 7ribWne believes in the prosccu-
ton Of the great struggle by Legitimate
means to bcnchccnt ends. To State Sow
crcignty, it opposes indissuublc National
Integrity; to Slavery for Blacks, Libcr-
ty for all to Prescription, EniranchisC-
mont; to Popular ignorance, Universal
Education; to intensity and eternity of
wrathful Hate, universal and invincible !
Good VIII. 1t would iain do its utmost
to hasten the glad day when the South |
shall vie with the North in cxultation and
gratitude over the disappearance Of the
last trace or faint Of that spirit which i'm !
PEELED Man to cXult in the ownership and |
chattelhood of his fellow Man
Profoundly do we realize that the con-
test is not yet cndcd-that Millions
mourn, more or less publicly, the down
fall of the shareholders Confcderacy and
rear their children to hate those by whose
valor and constancy its overthrow was
achieved. we ever seem to differ cs-
scntially from other Republicans, our
conviction that magnanimity is never
weakness, that vengeance is never polite,
and that devils are not cast out by Becl-
zcbub, must serve to explain alleged &C.
centricities whose perfect vindication we
leave to Time and Reflection.
The Tribune has been, is, and must be,
jealous advocate of Protection to Home
Industry. Regarding habitual idlcncss
as the greatest foe to human progress, the
bane of human happiness, we seek to win
back our countrymen in masses from the
ensnaring lures of Speculation, OF Traffic,
and Of always over-crowded Professions,
to the tranquil paths Of Productive In
dustry. Holding the Production of Home
Industry by discriminating duties on i'm
ported Wares and Fabrics essential to the
rapid, beneiiccnt diffusion Of Production
in all its phases and departments, and so
to the instruction of our people in all the
gainful arts Of Peace, We urge our coun-
trymen to adhere to and uphold that poll
cy, in undoubting faith that the true in
terest, not Of a class or section, but of
each section and every useful class, Is
thereby subserved and promoted
The TribUne aims to be pre-eminently
News paper Its correspondents trav-
erse every State, are present on every
important battlefield, are early advised
of every notable Cabinet decision observe
the proceedings of Congress, of Lcgisla-
lures, and of Conventions, and report to
us by telegraph all that seems of general
interest. We have paid for one days
momentous alvices from Europe by Gag
Bile far more than our entire receipts for
the issue in which those adviccs reached
our readers. Iflavish outlay, unsleeping
vigilance, and unboundcd faith in the
liberty and diseernment of the reading
public, will enable us to make journal
which has no superior in the accuracy,
variety, and freshness of its contents
The 1ribUne shall be such a journal.
To Agriculture and the subrcrvient
arts, we have devoted, and shall pcrsis-
tcntly devote, more means and space than
any of our rivals. We aim to make The
Weekly Trij1tne such paper as no far
mcr can afford to do without, however
widely his politics may differ from ours.
Our reports ofthc Cattle Horse, Produce
and General Markets, are so full and ac-
curate, our essays in calculation Of the
farmers calling, and our regular reports
Of the Farmers Club and kindred gath
crings, are so interesting, that the poorest
farmer will find therein mine of suggcs-
tons and counsel, of which he cannot re-
main ignorant without positive and serious
loss. We sell The Weekly to Clubs for
less than its value in dwellings for waste
paper; and, though its subscription is
already very large, we believe that
Half Million more farmers will take it
whenever it shall be commended to their
attention. We ask our friends every
where to aid us in so commenting
it.
