THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

Through struggle and suffering at the cosl
OF nultiform .agonies, bereavements, devAsfa-
tons. the American Idea embodied in the pre-
amble to our fathers Declaration of lniepen
dence, approaches its complete realization
The noble, inspiring assertion that call meu
are created equal" and endowed BY their
Creator with inslienab!e rights to life. liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness, is no longer a
giitfering generality. p,et's fancy, philoso-
piers speculation, but the Recognized base oil
our political fabric. The benign Revolution,
which oates from the Boston Massacre Of ITO,
hnds its logica! completion, just one century
later, in the XVIII Amendment, which gives %
the equal political and civil rights Of every
man born or naturslized in our Republic, the
shield and defen Of the Federal Constitution
lbs pillows Of Caste and Privilege may roar
and rage around that rock, and may transient
" seem on the point oc washing il away; but
It's foundations are deep laid ard steadfast, and
The breakers Of Reaction aud Slavery are huri-
ed against and dash their spray o yer it in vain.
We do not underra.e the forces of Prejudice
and Aristocracy. We do not forget that q
very large minority Of the American People
st'ii hold in their inmost hearts that Blacks
have no rights which Whites are bound to re.
sPect. We fully appreciate the desperation
"he.eWiih all the warning elements Of hatred
to Republican achievement will be combined
and hurled against the battlemcnts Of Repub-
licsn ascendency in the Presidential Election
OF 1872. We do not doubt that local success
es. facilitated by Republican feuds and diseen
sions, will inspire the charging host with q
ssnguine hope of victory, such as nerved it to
put forth its utmost strength in the earlier sta.
ges of the contests Of 1864 and 1868. Yet oul
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 up
held and Slavery destroyed, and will neve,
consciously decide that the precious blood
thereon poured out was lavished in vain.
The Tribune believes in the prosecution Of
the great struggle BY legitimate means to be
nefcent ends. To State Sovereignty, it Cd
poses indissoluble National Integrity; to SIa
very for Blacks, Liberty for All; to Proscrip
ton, Enfranchisement; to Popular Ignorance
Universal Education; to intensity and eternity
of wrathful Hate, universal and invincible

We aim to make The Weekly Tribune such a
paper as no farmer can afford to 60 without.
however widely his politics may di6.'r from
ours. Our reports Of the Cattle, Horse. Pro-
duce, and General Markets, arc so full and
accurate. our essays in calculation of the far
mer's calling, and our regular reports Of tho
Farmers Club and kindred gatherings, are SO
intei esting. that the poorest farmer vii! find
therein mine of suggestion and counsel, o.
which he cannot remain ignorant without pos.
tive and serious loss. We sell Tie Weekly
to Clubs for less than its value in dwellings for
