THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE FOR
1871

devaslatIOnS, the American Idea embod-
led In the preamble to our fathers De-
claratlon of Independence approaches its
complete realization. The noble, inspir-
ing assertion that s'ail men are created
equal, aud endowed by their Creator
with inalienable rights to life, liberty,
and the pursuit OF happiness, Is no long
er entering generality, poet S fancy,
. philosopher $ Speculation, but the re-
cognized base OF our political fabric. The
benign Revolution, which dates from the
Boston Massacre of ITO, finds its logical
completion, just one century later, in the
AVth Amendment, which gives to the
equal political and civil rights OF every
man born or naturaiized in our Republic
the shield and defense of the Federal
Constitution. Tue pillows of Caste and
Privilege may roar and rage around that
rock, ana may translently seem on the
point OF washing 1t away; but Its foun-
datlons are deep laid and steadtast, and
the breakers uf Reaction and Slavery are
hurled against and dash their spray over

We do not underrate the forces Of Pre-
JUDGE and Aristocracy. We do not for
get that very large minority of the
American People still hold in their IL
most hearts that Blacks have no rights
which Whites are bound to respect. We
fully appreciate the desperation where
with all the warning clements Of hatred
TO Republican achievement will be COM
bined and hurled against the pattlements
of Republican ascendency in the Presi
Dental Election Of 1872 We do not
doubt that local successes, facilitated by
Republican feuds and discussions, will
lnsplresthe charging host with a sauguIne
hope OF victory, such as nerved it to put
forth it's utmost strength In the earlier
stages of the contests OF 1861 and 1868.
Yet our faith is clear and strong that the
American People still bless God that, on
the red zbattle-Gelas OF our late Civil
War, the Union was upheld and Slavery
destroyed, and will never consciously
decide that the precin,ls blood thereon
poured out was lavlshcd in vain.
The Tribune believes in the prosecu
ton of the great struggle by legitimate
means to beneicient ends. To State
Sovereignty, it opposes iadisseluble Ma
tional integrity; to Slavery for Blacks,
Liberty for all /; to Prescription, Enfran-
chisement; to Popular Ignorance, Uni
versal Education; to intensity and eter-

utmost to hasten the glad day when the
South shall vie with the North In exul-

spirit which impelled Man to exult in the

rear their children to hate those by whose
valor and constancy its overthrow was
achived. If we ever seem to differ essen
italy from other Republicans, our con-
viction that magnanimity is never weak
ness, that vengeance is never polite, and
that devils are not cast out by Beelzebub
must serve to explain alleged eccentricit
les whose perfect vindicatlon we leave to
time of reflection.
The Tribune has been, is, and must
be, a jealous advocate of protection to
home industry. Regarding habitual idle
ness as the greatest foe to human pro-
gress, the bane of human happiness, We
seek to win our countrymen IN masses
