equal" and endowed by their Creator with

ton, but the recognized base of our political
fabric. The benign Revolution, which dates
from the Boston Massacre of I770, finds It's
logical completion, Just one century later in
the XVIII Amendment, which gives to the equal
political and civil rights of every man born or
naturalized in our Republic the shield and de-
tense of the Federal Constitution. The pillows
of Caste and Privilege may roar and rage around
that rock, and may transiently seem on the
point of washing it away but its foundations
are deep-laid and steadfast, and the breakers of
! Reaction and Slavery are hurled against and
dash their spray over it in vain.
We do not underrste the forces of Prejudice
and Aristocracy. We do not forget that a very
| large minority of the American People still
| hold in their Utmost hearts that Blacks have no
| rights which Whites are bound to respect. We
| fully appreciate the desperation wherewith all
! the warning elements of hatred To Republican
achievement will be combined and hurled against
the battlements of Republican ascendency in
the Presidential Election of 1872. We do not
doubt that local successes, facilitated by Re.
publican feuds and discussions, will inspire the
charging host with sanguine hope of victory,
such nerved IL to put forth It's utmoststrength
IN the earlier stages of the contests of 1864 and
| 1868 Yet our faith is clear and strong that the
American People still bless God that, on the
red battle fields of our late Civil War the Union
was upheld and Slavery destroyed, and will
| never consciously decide that the precious blood
thereon poured ont was laviShed In vain.
| The TRIBUNE believes in the prosecution OF
the great struggle by legitimate means to beneh-
cent ends. To State Sovereignty 1t opposes
! indissouble National Integrity; to Slavery for

| 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 dis
! appearance of the last trace or faint of that
! spirit which impelled Man to eXult in the owner
| ship and chattehood of his fellow Man.
Profoundly do we realize that the contest Is
! not vet 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 It's over

essentially from other Republicans, our convc

| vengeance is never polite, and that devils are
| not cut out by Beelzebub, must serve 10 explain
| alleged eccentricities whose perfect vndication

dustry. Regarding habitual idleness as the
greatest foe to human progress, the bane of HUI
/ man happiness, we seek to win our countrymen
! in masses from the ensnaring lures of Specula-

| LESSONS, to the tranquil paths OF Productive
| Industry. We would gladly deplete our over.
crowded cities, where thousands vainly jostle
and crowd in misguided quest of " Something

MES absorbed in Agriculture, Mechanics and
| Manufactures, and constantly projecting into
the blank, void wilderness the homes and the
works of civilized Man. Holding the Protection
| of Home Industry by discriminating duties on
/ imported Wares and Fabrics essential to the
rapid, bene6ceut diffusion of Production in all
| its phases and departments, and so to the m
strucion Of our people in all the gaintul arts of
| Peace, we urge our Countrymen to adhere TO
and uphold that policy, in undoubting faith
/ that the true interest, not OF class or secuon
but of each section and every useful class, Is
| thereby subserved and promoted.
! The TRIBUNE aims to be pre'eminentiy a
! Ne,rs paper. Its correspondents traverse every
State, are present on every important battle held,
are early advised of every notable Cabinet deci-
| SION observe the proceedings of Congress, Legis.
| latures, and of Conventions, and report to us by
| telegraph all that seems of general interest. We
! have paid for one day 8 momentous advices from
| Europe by Cable far more than our entire re-
ceipts for the issue IN which those advces
! i
! ing vigilance and unbouuded faith in the hber-
ality and discernment Of the reading public, will
| enable us to make a journal which has no supe-
| rior in the accuracy, variety, and freshness oil
its contents, TRE TRlBCYE shall be such Jour
| nal.
To Agriculture and the subseryient 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 paper as
no farmer can afford to do without, however
widely his politics may differ from ours Our re-
| ports of the Cattle, Horse, Produce, and General
| Markets, are so full and accurate, orr essays in
! calculation of the farmers calling, and our reg
| u lar 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 It's value in dwell
| lings for waste paper and, though its Subscrip
! ton is already very large, we believe that a
| Half Million more farmers will take IT whenever
! it shall be commended to their attention. We
! ask our friends everywhere to aid us in so com.
mending it.
