NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

1871.
| Through struggle and suffering, at the cost o
multiform agonies, bereavements, devastation
the American Idea embodied in the preambl
to our fathers Declaration of Independence
approaches its complete realization. The nobl
| inspiring assertion that "all men are create,
equal and endowed by their Creator with in
alienahle rights to life, liberty, and the pursui
| of happiness, is no longer glittering general
ity, poet'sfancy, philosophers speculation
but the recognized base of our political fabric
| The benign Revolution, which dates from TIL
Boston Massacre of i1,U. finds its logical com
| pletion just one century later, in the XVII
| Amendment. which gives to the equal politica
and civil rights OF every man born or natural
lied in our Republic, the shield and defense o
| the Federal Constitution. The billows of cast,
and privilege may roar and rage around tina
rock, and may transiently seem on the point o
washing it away; but its foundations are deeI
laid snd steadiast, and the breakers of Reac.
tiOn and Slavery are hurled against and dasi
their spray over il in vain
We do not underrate the forces of Prejudice
and Aristocracy. We do not forget that very
large minority of the American People still
| hold in their Utmost hearts that Blacks have nc
rights which Whites are bound to respect. We
fully appreciate the desperation wherewith al
the warning elements OF hatred to Republican
achievement Will be combined and hurled
against the battlements of Republican ascen.
dancy in the Presidential Election of IS19 We
do not doubt that local successes, facilitated by
Republican feuds and dissensions, win inspire
the charging host with 4 sSnguine hope of vic
tory, such as nerved it to put forth its utmost
strength in the earlier stages of the contests OF
1854 and 1865. Yet our faith is clear and strong
that the American people still bless God that
on the red bSttle-helds of our late Civil War
the Union was upheld and Slavery destroyed
and will never consciously decide that the
precious blood thereon poured out was lavished
in vain.
THE TRIBUNE believe In the prosecution o.
the great struggle by legitimate means to be-
nificent ends: 10 State Sovereignty, ]. imposes
indissoluble National Integrity; to Slavery TO-
Blacks, Liberty for all; to Prescription, En-
franchisement; to Popular Ignorance, Univer
sal Education; to intensity and eternity OF
Wrathful Hate, universal and inyincible Good
Will. 1t would fain do its utmost to hasten the
glad day when the South shall vie with the
North in exultatiOn and gratitude over the
disappearance of the last trace or taint of that
spirit which impelled Man to exult in the ow-
nership and chattelhood of mis- fellow Man.
Profoundly do We realize that the contest is
not yet ended-that millions mourn, more or
less publicly, the downfall of the Shareholders
Confederacy, and rear their children to hate
those by whose valor and constancy its over
throw was achieved. If we ever seem to differ
essentially from other Republicans, our con-
viction that magnanimity is never weakness,
that vengeance is never polite, and that devils
are not cast out by Beelzebub, must serve to
explain alleged eccentricities whose perfect
vindication we leave to time and reflection.
TIE TRIBUNE has been, is, and must be, a
jealous advocate of Protection to Home Indus
try. Regarding habitual idleness as the great
est foe to human progress, the bane Of human
happiness, we seek to win our countrymen in
masses from the ensnaring lures ofSpeculation
Of Traffic, and OF always overcrowded Profess
sions, to the tranquil paths Of Productive In
dustry.
THE TRIBUNE aims to be pre-eminently q
Newspaper. Its correspondents traverse every
State, are present on every important battle
field, are errly advised of every notable Cabinet
decision, observe the proceedings of Congress,
of Legislatures, and of Conventions, and re-
1lsl n
interest. We have paid for one days moment
Gus advices from Europe by Cable far more than
our entire receipts for the issue in which those
adyices reached our readers. If lavish outlay,
unsleeping vigilance and unbounded faith in
the liberality and discernment Of the reading
public, will enable us to make journal which
has no superior in the accuracy, variety and
freshness of its contents. The TRIBUNE shall
be such journal.
To Agriculture and the subservient arts, we
have devoted, and shall persistently devote,
more means and space than any of our rivals
We aim to make the Weekly Tribune such Q
paper as no farmer can afford to do without,
however widely his politics may differ from
ours. Our reports of the Cattle. Horse, Produce
and General Markets, are SO full and accurate,
our essays in elucidstion Of the farmers call,
ing, and our regular reports of the Farmers
Club and kindred gatherings, are so interesting
that the poorest farmer will find therein mine
of suggestion and counsel, Of which he cannot
remain 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 so aid US in commencing 1t.
