| No party, North or South, longer disputes the
result of the War for the Union; all declare that
these results must never be undone; and, with
a whole people thus united on the grand plat
form of All Rights for All, whereto our bloody
struggle, and the prolonged civil contests that
followed, have led US, the Republic closes the
records of the bitter hateful Past and turns
peacefully, hopefully, TO the less alarming be-

whatever may elueidate the general discussion
or action on these, THE TRIBUNE gives amplest
space and most impartial record. Whatever
parties may propose, whatever political leaders
may say, whatever officers may do, is fairly set
down in its columns, whether this news helps or
binders its own views. Its readers have the
right to an honest statement of the facts and
this they always get
But as to its own political principles, Tbs
TRIBUNE is of course, hereafter as heretofore,
the champion of Equal Rights, irrespective of
Race, Nativity, or Color. 1t stands inhexibly
by the Anne ndments for the permanent security
of those Rights, which have been soemnly in
corporated by the People, in the Constitution of
the United States. Independent of all political
parties, it endeavorS to treat them all with judi.
cial fairness 1t labors to purify the admins
tration of Government, National, State, and
Municipal, and whenever those in authority,
whether In National, State, or Municipal affairs,
take the lead in this work, it will therein give
them its cordial support. But it can never be
the servtor of any political party nor will it
surrender or even waive Its right to cutIcise and
condemn what is wrong, and commend what is
right in the action Of any parties or Of any pub
lie men.
Now, as always, The TRIBUNE labors with all
its heart for the promotion Of the great ma
terial interests of the country. The progress
of Invention aud of Labor Saving, the develop
ment of our resources, the preservation of our
Land for the Landess and its rapid subjuga
ton to human wants, the utilization OF our vast
underlying Ores, the extension OF the facilities
for bringing Producer and Consumer nearer to-
gether-whatever tends to swell the ranks, in
crease the knowledge and better the condition
of those devoted to Productive Industry finds
mention and encouragement in our columns.
