THE NBW YORK TRIBUNE.

smble to OUT fathsss' Declaration Of Indepeu-
dence, approaches its complete realization.
The noble. inspiring assertion that call men
are created equal" and endowed by their
Creator rith inaIienable rights TO life. liberty,
and the pursuit Of happiness. Is no longer Q
giittering generality, = p,et's fancy. pniloso-
piers speculation. but the recognized base of
our political fabric. The benign Revolution,
which dates from the Boston Massacre of ITO,
hnds its logical completion, just one century
Later, in the XVIII Ameodment, which gives to
the equal political and civil rights Of every
man born or naturalzed in our Republic, the
shield and defense Of the Federal Constitution.
The pillows Of Caste and Privilege may roar
and rage around that rock, and may transient
" seem on the point Of washing il away; but
the breakers Of Reaction and Slavery are huri.
ed against and dash their spray over it in vain.
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
,wherewith all the warning elements of hatred
10 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
es. facilitated by Republican feuds and Olsen
sions, will inspire the charging host with Q
sanguine 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 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

The Tribune believes in the prosecution of
the great struggle BY legitimate means 10 be-
nefcent ends. To State Sovereignty, it op-
poses indissolub'e National lutegrity; to STA
veryfor Blacks, Liberty for AL; to Proscrip-
ton, EnfraDcbisemeIt; TO Popular Ignorance,
Universal Education; TO intensity and eternity
of wrathful Hate, universal aud inyineible
Good Will. IL would fam DO its utmost 10
hasten the glad day when The South shall vie
with. the North in exu,taiipn and gratitude
over the disappearance Of the last trace or
taiDt OF that spirit which impelled Man TO ex-
nit in the ownership and chaitelhood of his
fellow Man.
Profoundly do we realize that the contest is
not yet ended-that Millions mourn. more OF
less publicly, the downfall of she Shareholders
Confederacy, and rear their children to hate
those BY whose vaior and constancy its over
throw was achieved. II We ever seem to diff.
ter essentially from other Republicans, our
conviction that magnaninity,is never weak
ness, that vengeance is never polite, and that
devils are not cast out by Beeizebub, must
serve to explain alleged eccentricities whose
pc, feet vindication we leave to Time and
Reflection.
The Tribune has been. Is, and must be, a
jealous advocate Of Protection to Home Indus.

dustry. We would gladly deplete our over
crowded cities, where thousands vainly 1ostle
and crowd in misguided quest Of /" Something
to Do" to cover prairies and plains with COL
onies absorbed in Agriculture, Mechanics and
Manufactures, and constantly projecting into
the blank, void wilderness the homes and the
works of civilized Man. Holding the Protec-
ton of Home Industry by discriminating duties
Oh 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

to and uphold that policy, in undoubting faith
that the true interest, not of class or 4 sec

class, is thereby subserved and promoted.
