SEES OF our tidings from the Old World. ,,
THE TRIBUNE, through trusted cores
pondents stationed at all points in Eu-
rope where great movements are in pro- I
gress or imminent, aims to present a COM
plete and instructive panorama of events
on that continent, and to mirror the pro-
longed struggle between middle-aged
Feudalism and Ecclesiasticism on the
one hand and Nineteenth Century skep-
ticism and secularism on the other. Rec
ognizing Divine Providence in all that
proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on the
great conflict as destined Qike our own
recent convulsion) to evolve from strife,
disaster, and seeming chaos, fairer and
happier future for the toiliDg masses of
mankind.
In our own country, war upon cor
ruption and rascality in office has been
inaugurated in our City, whereby the
government of our State has been revo. !
lutionized through an initial triumph |
of Reform which surpasses the most san
guine anticipations. 1t is morally GER
tain that the movement thus inaugurated
cannot, in its progress, be rircumscribed TO
any locality or any party, but that its
purifying influence is destined to be felt
in every part of the Union, rebuking
venality exposing robbery, Wrestling pow
er from politicians by trade, and confd.
ing it in those worthiest and fittest to
WELD it. To this beuiicent and vitality
needed Reform, THE TRIBUNE will de-
vote its best energies, regardless of per-
sonal interests or party predictions, es
teeming the choice of honest and faith

>. The virtual surrender by the Demo-
n cratic party of its hostility to Equal
i Rights regardless Of Color has Invested
II our current politics of half their bygone
|. intensity. However parties may hence
# forth rise or fall, it is clear that the fun
. damental principles which have hitherto
IL honorably distinguished the Republicans
r are henceforth to be regarded as practi.
