Find these two Lenin quotes --- “the Party is the principal leading force within the system of the dictatorship of the proletariat.” and “The Party’s mission is, without exception, to unify the work of all proletarian mass organizations and to direct their actions toward a single goal—toward the goal of proletarian emancipation.”

Here’s what I found—and an important attribution note up front:

==== 1) “the Party is the principal leading force within the system of the dictatorship of the proletariat.” ====

This wording (in standard English on Marxists.org) appears in Stalin, not Lenin. In Concerning Questions of Leninism (1926), Stalin writes:

: “The Party is the main guiding force in the system of the dictatorship of the proletariat.”
: Marxists Internet Archive

==== 2) “The Party’s mission is, without exception, to unify the work of all proletarian mass organizations and to direct their actions toward a single goal—toward the goal of proletarian emancipation.” ====

This wording is also Stalin (same 1926 text). Stalin writes:

: “Its function is to combine the work of all the mass organisations of the proletariat without exception and to direct their activities towards a single goal, the goal of the emancipation of the proletariat.”
: Marxists Internet Archive

==== Closest Lenin passages expressing the same idea (with Lenin’s own “system / mechanism” language) ====

If what you want is Lenin himself saying the substance behind those lines, these are the most directly relevant:

===== A) Lenin explicitly uses “within the system of the dictatorship of the proletariat… between the Party and the government” =====

From Lenin, “The Trade Unions, The Present Situation and Trotsky’s Mistakes” (Dec. 30, 1920):

: “Within the system of the dictatorship of the proletariat, the trade unions stand… between the Party and the government.”
: Marxists Internet Archive

Lenin continues immediately with the “vanguard” formulation:

: “What happens is that the Party… absorbs the vanguard of the proletariat, and this vanguard exercises the dictatorship of the proletariat.”
: Marxists Internet Archive

===== B) Lenin states directly that “under the leadership of the Party, the class dictatorship is exercised” =====

From Lenin, “Left-Wing” Communism: an Infantile Disorder, ch. 6 (1920):

: “...under the leadership of the Party, the class dictatorship is exercised.”
: Marxists Internet Archive

And, a few lines earlier in the same chapter, Lenin describes the practical reality of Party guidance:

: “No important political or organisational question is decided… without the guidance of the Party’s Central Committee.”
: Marxists Internet Archive

If you tell me where you saw the two quotations (book/article/Chinese source), I can often trace which edition/translation they came from and whether they were explicitly attributed to Lenin there, or were Lenin-derived lines quoted via Stalin (Problems of Leninism / Concerning Questions of Leninism).
