the American Idea embodied in the preamble
TO our fathers Declaration of Independence
approaches Its complete realization The no.
BILE. inspiring assertion that " all men are created
equal" and endowed by their Creator with
inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the par.
suit OF happiness, is no longer a glittering gen.
erality. poets fancy, philosophers specula-
ton. but the recognized base of our political
fabric The benign Revolution. which dates
from the Boston Massacre of 1870, finds it's
| logical completion, just enc 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 tranSient!y seem on the
point of washing il away; but IT'S foundations
are deep-iaid and steadtast and the breakers OF
Reaction and Slavery are hurled against and
dash their spray over it 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 inmost hearts that Blacks have no
! rights which Whites are bound TO respect. We
! fully appreciate the desperation wheFewith all
the warning elements of hatred TO Republican
achievement will be combined and hurled against
the battlements of Republican asceudency in
the Presidential Election of 1872. We do not
doubt that local successes, facilitated by Re.
charging host with sanguine hope of victory.
such nerved it TO put forth it's utmost strength
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
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 benet
cent ends. To State Sovereignty ii opposes
indissoluble National Integrity; to Slavery for
Blacks, Liberty for All; to Prescription, En-
reimbursement; to Popular Ignorance, Univer.
sal Education; 10 intensity and eternity OF
wrathful Hate, universal and invincbe Good
viii. 1t would fain do its utmost to hasten the
glad day when the South shall vie with the
North in exutation and gratitude over the dis
appearance OF the last trace faint of that
spirit which impeled Man to exnlt in the owner
ship and chattelhood Of his 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 consistency It's over
throw was achieved. If we ever seem to differ
essentially from other Republicans, our convic
ton that magnanimlty is never weakness. that
vengeance is never polite, and that devils are
not cut out by Beezebub, must serve TO explain
We leave to Time and Reflection.
The TRIBUNE has been, is, and must be,
jealous advocate of Protection to Home In
dusry. Regarding habitual idleness the
greatest foe 10 human progress, the bane OF hu.
man happiness, we seek to win our countrymen
in masses from the ensnaring lures OF Specua-
ton, of Traffic, and of always over crowded Pro
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 off, Something
to Do TO cover pralries and plains with colo
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, benefcent diffusion of Production in all
its phases and departments. and so TO the in
struction of our people in all the gainful arts of
Peace, We urge our countrymen to adhere TO
and uphold that policy, in undoubting faith
that the true interest, not OF class section,
but Of each section and every useful class, is
thereby subserved and promoted.
The TRIBUNE aims to be pre-. eminently a
Ne1CS- paper It's correspondents traverse every
State, are present on every important battle field,
are early advised of every notable Cabinet deci.
sion, observe the proceedings Of Congress, legiS
latures. and of Conventions. and report 10 Us by
have paid for one day ) momentous advices from |
Europe 10y Cable far more than our entire re- |
ceipts for the issue IN which those adviCes |
reached our readers. If lavish outlay, unsleep.
ing vigilance, and unbouuded faith IN the lber-
ality and discernment of the reading public, will
enable to make journal which has no supe-
rior in the accuracy, variety, and freshness of
its contents, TIE tribune shall be such Jour
nal.
TO Agriculture and the subservent arts. we
have devoted, and shall pea6lstentv devote, more
means and space than anyOf our rivals We aim
to make The WEEKLY TgfBUNE 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
NJ arkets, are full and accurate, our essays in |
calculation of the farmer calling, and our req
u lar reports of the Farmers Club and kindred !
gatherings, are so interesting, that the poorest /
farmer will find therein a mine of suggestion and /
of which he cannot remain ignorant |
without positive and serious loss. We sell The |
WEEKLY to Clubs for less than its value in dwell /
llngs for waSte-paper and though its subscrip- /
ton is already very large, we believe that a |
Half Million more farmers will take il whenever |
1t shall be commended to their attention. We |
ask our friends everywhere TO aid us in so com |
mending it.
