As heretofore shall endeavor to make this
thoroughly independent journal, treating all
parties and political movements with judicial
fairness and candor but counting the favor and
deprecatlng the wrath of no one.
II he can hereafter say anything that will tend
10 heartily unite the whole American people on
the broad platform of universal amnesty and
impartial suffrage he will gladly 10 so. For the
present, however, he can best commend that
consummaton by silence and forbearance. The
victors in our late struggle can hardly fail to
take the whole subject of Southern rights and
wrongs into early and earnest consideration )
and to them for the present he RENTS 1t, since
he viii never again be a candidate for any Office,

parties which have hitherto divided the country,
and will be able and will endeavor to give wider
and steadier regard to the progress Of science.
industry and the useful arts than partisan
journal can. And he will not be provoked to in
dulgence in those bitter personalities which are
the Recognized bane of journalism.
Sustained by generous public. he will do hii
best to make the Tribune power in the broade
