New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1871-03-30

to our fathers Declaration of Independence,
approaches its complete realization The no
BILE, inspiring assertion that " all men are create,
equal" and endowed by their Creator witt
inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pur
suit of happiness, is no longer a glittering gen
ton, but the recognized base of our poIitica
fabric. The benign Revolution, which date
from the Boston Massacre of 1770, finds it
logical completion, just one century later, il
the XVIII Amendment, which gives to the equa
political and civil rights of every man born o
naturalized in our Republic the shield and de
Tense of the Federal Constitution. The billow
Oh caste and Privilege may roar and rage aroun,
that rock, and may transiently seem on tn,
point of washing it away; but its foundation
are deep-lald and steadfast, and the breakers o
Reaction and Slavery are hurled against anC
dash their spray over it in vain
We do not underrate the forces of Preudc,
and Aristocracy. We do not forget that yer,
large minority of the American People still
hold IN their nmost hearts that Blacks have ne
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 battements of Republican ascendency in
the Presidential Election of 1872. We do not
doubt that local successes, facilitated by Re-
publican feuds and dissensons, will inspire the
charging host with a sanguine hope ofvictory,
such as nerved it to put forth its utmost strength
IN the carrier 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 tie 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-
ends Ip Statp NJ
indissolube National Integrity; to Slavery for
Blacks, Liberty for All to Prescription, En-
franchisement; to Popular Ignorance, Univer
sal Education; to intensity and eternity of
wrathfu Hate, universal and invincible Good
Will. 1t would fain do it's 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 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 its over
throw was achieved. If we ever seem to differ
essentially from other Republicans, our convic-
ton that magnanimity is never weakness, that
vengeance is never polite, and that devils are
not cut out by Beelzebub, must serve TO explain
alleged eccentricities whose perfect vindication
We leave to Time and Reflection.
The TRIBUNE has been, is, and must be, a
jealous advocate of Protection to Home In
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-
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 of " Something
to Do, to cover prairies 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 gainfu arts of
Peace, we urge our countrymen to adhere to
and uphold that policy, in undoubting faith
that the true interest," not of a class section,
but of each section and every useful class, is
thereby subserved and promoted.
The TRIBUNE aims to be pre- eminently a
Ne,cs- paper. It's correspondents traverse every
State, 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 to us by
all that seems of general interest. We
have paid for one days momentous advices from
Europe by Cable far more than our entire
ceipts for the issue in which those advices
reached our readers. If lavish outlay, unsleep-
ing vigilance and unbouuded faith in the hber
atty and discernment of the reading public, will
enable us to make a journal which has no supe
riOr in the accuracy, variety, and freshness of
its contents, The TRIBUNE shall be such jour
nal
To Agriculture and the subservient arts, We
i Il
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
NJ arkets, are so full and accurate, essays in
calculation of the farmer S calling, and our reg
II 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 TnE
WEEKLY to Clubs for less than its 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 1t whenever
it shall be commended to their attention. We
ask our friends everywhere to aid us in so COM
mending it,
