| With able and trusted Correspondents in the
leading capitals, and wherever great changes arc
in progress, The TRIBUNE aims, at whatever
cost, to lay before its readers the most prompt,
complete, and popular presentment of these
| diverse and conflicting movements-through all

are everywhere struggling up to ward larger re-

No party, North or South, longer disputes the
result of the Var for the Union; all declare that
these results must never be undone and, with
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-
cause less vital problems Of the Future. To
whatever may elucidate 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, THE
Tribune is of course, hereafter as heretofore,

years old, has endeavored to keep up with the
progress of the age in improvement and in en-

ablest and most successful cultivators to set
forth in brief clear essays their practical views
of the Farmers work. 1t reports public dis
cussions which elucidate that work; gathers
