In our own country, a war upon corr1pdn
and rascality in office has been inaugurstea,
in our City, whereby the government Of cur
State has been revolutionized through An IN
itial triumph Of Reform which surpasses IL
most sanguine anticipations. 1t 10 morally
| certain that the movement thus inauguratsd
cannot, in its progress, be eircuznscribed to
any locality or any party, but that its puri.
flying influence is destined to be felt In every
part Of the Union, rebuking venality, ezpss-
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, and confding it in those worthiest
| and fttest to WELD it. To this bene6cent
| and vitality needed Reform, The Tribune will
| devote its best energies, regardless Of per
sonal interests OF party predictions, esteem
| ing the choice Of honest and faithful men to
| office as of all New Departures the most e.
| sential and suspicious.
1he virtual surrender by the Democratic
party Of it's hostility to Equal Rights regntd-
less of Color has Invested our current poll
tics Of half their bygone intensity. Howevsr
| parties may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear
that the fundamental principles which have
hitherto honorably distinguished the Repuhr
licans are henceforth to be regarded - prac-
tically accepted by the whole country. Tho
right OF every man to his own limbs and sim
ews-the equality Of aH citizens before the
| law-the inability of IA State to enslave any
portion Of it's people-the duty Of the Union
to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy
| ment OF his liberty until he forfsits il BY
crlme-such are the bread and firm fOunda-
tons OF our National etlifice and palsied be
the hand that shall seek to displaoe them
Though not yet twenty years old, the Rspub-
lican party has completed the noble fabric u
Emancipation, and may fairly invoke thersf
| on the sternest judgment of Man and the be-
nignant smile Of God ~.
Henceforth the mission Of our Republic is
| one Of Peaceful Progress. To prUt0ct thu

andby which it would fain contribute 70 the
