THE
NEW YORK TRIBUNE,
For 1872.

suiSuldty dDU tnpOISHt, liiiu Uue pow
erful State, with Rome as its capital the
humiliation of France through a serie:
of crushing defeats, ending with the siege
and capitulation of her proud and gay
metropolis and expulsion of the Bour-
bons from the Spanish throne, and a sub.
stitution for them of a scion of the most
liberal among royal houses the virtual
absorption of the kingdoms of Saxony,
Wurttemberg, Bavaria, with Baden,
Hcsse, the Hanse Towns, &C., under the
headship of Prussia, into the triumphant
and powerful empire of Germany and
the arming of Russia to reassert her pre-
ponderance in the councils of Europe, or
to prosecute her often postponed but
never relinquished designs on the great
city founded by Constantine and the vast
but decaying and anachical dominion of
the Sultan, all combine to invest with
profound interest, the eyer-changing
phases of our tidings from the old world
THE TRIBUNE, through trusted CORES
pondents stationed at all points in Europe
where great movements are in progress
or imminent, aims to present complete
and instructive panorama of events on
that continent, and to mirror the pro-
louged struggle between middle-age Feu-
dahsm and Ecclesiasticism on the one
hand and Ninetecrth- Century skepticlsm
and secularism on the other. Recogniz-
ing. Divine Providence in all that pro-
ceeds and is, it looks hopefully on the
great conflict as destined like our own
recent convulsion) to evolve from strife
disaster, and seeming chaos, fairer and
happier future for the toiling masses of
mankind.
La our own country, war upon corrup-
tion and rascality in office has been inau-
gurated in our city, whereby the govern
ment of our State has been revolutioniz-
ed through an initial triumphsof Reform
which surpasses the most sanguine anti
cipa.ions. 1t is morally certain that the
movement thus inauguratcd cannot, in
its progress, be circumscribed to any To-
caiity or any party, brit that its purifying
influence is destined to be felt in every
part of the Union, rebuking venality, ex
posing robbery, wrestling power from po-
liticians by trade, and confding it in
those worthicst and fttest to WELD it. To
this bene6cent aad vitality needed Refom
THE TRIBUNE will devote its best eHer-
gies, regardless of personal interests or
party predictions, esteeming the choice
of honest and faithful men to Office as of
all New Departures the most essential
and ausipcious.
The virtual surrender by the Demo
cratic party of its hostility to equal rights
regardless Of Color has Invested our cur
rent politics OF half their bygone intensi-
ty. However parties may henceforth
rise or fall, it is clear that the tundamen-
tai principles which have hitherto honest
" distinguished the Republicans are
hcnceforth to be regarded as practically
accepted by the whole country. The
right Of every man to his own limbs aud
sinews-the equality Of all citizens before
the law-the inability of State to en-
slave any portion of its people-the duty
of the Union to guarantee to every ci,I-
zen the full enjoyment of his liberty un
til he forfeits it by crime-such are the
broad and firm foundations of our Ma
tional edifce and palsicd be the hand
which shall displace them! Though not
set twenty years old the Republican par
ty has completed the noble fabric of
Emancipation, and may fairly Invoke
thereon the sternest judgement of Man
and the benignant smile of God.
Heneeiorth the mission of our Repub
lie is one &C Peaceful Progress. To pro-
tect the weak and the humble from vio-
lence and oppression, to extend the boun-
darics and diffuse the blessings Of Civil
zation-to stimulate. Ingenuity to the
production of new inventions for econo-
MIXING Laborssand thus enlarging produc-
tion-to draw nearer to each other the
producers of Food and of Fabrics, OF
Grains and of Metals, and thus enhance
the gains of Industry by. reducing the
cost OF transportation and exchanges be
tween farmers and artisans is the
inspiring task to which this Nation now
addresses itself, and by which it would
fam to contribute to the progress, en-
ightenment, land happiness of our race,
To this great aud good work, The. TRI-
BUNE contributes its Jealous, persistent
efforts.
Agriculture will continue to be more
especially elucidated in its Weekly and
Semi-Weekly editions, to which some OF
the ablest and most successful tillers Of
the soil will steadily contribute. Nc
farmer who sells $500 worth of produce
per anum can afford to do without oul
Market Reports, or others equally lucid
and comprehensive. If he should read
nothing else but what relates to his own
calling and its rewards. we believe that
no farmer who can read at all can afford
to do without s-ch a Journal as THE TRI
BUNE. And we aspire to make it equal
y valuable to those engaged in other de-
partments Of Productive Labor. W.
spend more and more money on our col
umns each year, as our countrymen
generous patronage enaol9s us TO do IAN,
we are resolved that our issues of forme
years shall b. exceeded In varied exec.
lence and interest by those of 1872
