We do not underrate the forces Of Prejudice
and Aristocracy We do not forget that q
very large minority Of the American People
still hold in their Utmost hearts that Blacks
have no rights which Whites are bound to re-
spect. We fully appreciate the desperation
where With oil the warning elements OF hatred
to Republican achievement will be combined
and hurled against the battlements Of Repub-
lican ascendency in the Presidential Election
of 1872. We do not doubt that local success

sions. will inspire the charging host with a
sanguine hope of victory. such as perved it to
put forth its utmost strength in the earlier sta
ges 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 up
held and Slavery destroyed, and will never
consciously decide that the precious blood
thereon poured out was lsvished in vain.
The Tribune believes in the prosecution OF
the great struggle BY Legitimate means TO be-
nefcent ends. To State Sovereignty, it OPP
poses indissoluble National Iutegrity; to Sia-

conviction that magnanimity is never weak

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 reports Of thu Cattle, Horse, Pro-
duce, and General Markets, are so full anc
accurate. our essays in calculation of the far
mer's calling, and our regular reports of the
Farmers Club and kindred gatherings, are so
int esting, that the poorest farmer viii fud

to Clubs for less than its value in dw ellngs for

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
commenting it.
