THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE. Fop 1o7o

m0ubHfy anu lmpOO0ut, lnbO one powerful State, with Rome as it's capital; the hu- initiation of Trance through series of crushing defeats, ending with the siege and equalization of her proud and gay me- tropolis; the expulsion of the BOurbons from the Spanish throne, and the subgti- tion for them of scion of the most hber- al among royal houses; the virtual absorp- tion of the kingdoms of Saxony. Wurteui- burg, Bavaria, with Baden, Hesss. the Hanse Towns, &c., under the headship of Prussia, into the triumphant and power .ful empire of Germany; and flae aEzningof Russia to reassert her preponderapce in the councils pf. Europe, or to prDAepute her often postponed but never relinquish- ed designs on the great city founded by Constantine and the vast but decayink and anarchical dominion of the Sultan, al combine to invest with ptOfonnd interest the ever-chahging phases of our tdings from the Old World. The Tribune, through trusted correspondents. stationed at all points in Europe where great movements are in pHogress or imminent, aims tO pre- sent complete and instf6ctiye pan0fama of events on that continent and fo mirror the prolonged struggle between middle age Feudalism and Ecclesiaaticisms on ,the one hand and Nineteenth Century skepti- cism and secularism on the other. Re cegnizingia Divine Providence in all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on the great conflict as destined (like our own re- cent conyulsionl toeEolve from. strife, dis aster, and seeming chaos, a fairer and happier future for the toiling masses of mankind lasa Lfsss.aai ! i7 essgFs aifiA In our own country, q war upon cor ruptlon and rBscality in office has been ina1lgurated in our City, whereby the gov. ernment of our State has been revOlution-- ized through an initial triumph of Reform. which surpasses the most sanguine antici- pations. It is morally certain that the movement thus inaugurated cannot in it's progress, be circumscribe bed to any locality or any party, but that it's purifvinr ii1flu- ence is destined to be felt in every t1art of
 the Union, rebuking ovenality, exposing
 robbery, wrestling power from politicians
 by trade, and confding 1t in those worthi-
 est and httest to wield it. To this benef..
 cent and vitally needed Reform, The Fri
 bune will devote its best energies, regard
 less of personal interests or party pred;-
 lectiDns, esteeming the choice of honest
 and faithful men to office as of all New
 Departures the most essential and sansp; | cious as.s- yI----.-I,.l
 The virtual surrender by the Democrat
 ic party of it's hostility to Equal Riehts | regardless of Color has divested our cur l rent politics of half their bygone intensity. However, parties may henceforth rise or I fall, it is clear that the fundamental prin- ciples which have hitherto honorably dis
 tinguished the Republicans are henceforth
 to be regarded as practically accepted by
 the whole country. The right of every 4 man to his own limbs and sinews-the
 equality of all citizens before the law-the 1 inability of of State to enslaye any pOr- tion of It's people-the duty of the Union
 to guarantee to every citizen the full en- l joyment of his liberty until he forfeits it 1 by crime--such are the broad and firm
 foundations of our National edifce; and
 palsied be the hand which shall seek to
 displace them Though not yet twenty
 years old, the Republican party has com
 pleted the noble fabric of Emancipation.
 and may fairly invoke thereon the stern
 est judgment of Man and the benignant t
 smile of Goo. H3fa ,A .lS8
 I Henceforth, the mission of our Repub-
 lie is one of Peaceful Progress. To pro
 tect the weak and the humble from vio-
 fence and oppression--to extend the
 boundaries and diffuse tho blessings of
 CiVilization-to stimulate Igenuity to ths
 production ofNew lRveHtions for econ~-
 mixing Lahpf and 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- 1 tween farmers and artisans-such is the ! inspiring task to which this Nation now I addre sses itseH and by which it would
 fain contribute to the progress, enlighten- ,ment, and happiness of our race. To this great and good work, The Tribune con- | tributes it's zealous, persistent efforts. g I Agriculture will continue to be more es- pecially elucidated in it's Weekly and Semi Weekly editions, to which some of the ablest and most successful tillers of the soil will steadfastly contribute. No farmer who sells $500 worth of produce per annum can afford to do without our Market Reports, or others equally lucid and comprehensive. c If he should read nothing else but what relates to his own calling and it's rewards, we believe that no. farmer who can read at all can afford to. do without such a journal as tue The Fri
 bune. And we aspire to make it equally valuable to those engaged in other depart
 ments of Productive Labor. We spend
 more and more money on our columns
 each year, as our conntrymen's generous
 patronage enables us to do; and we arere-
 solved that our issues of former years shall
 be exceeded in varied excellenCe and i1l- terest by those of 1872. Friends in every State help us to make our journal better
 and better, by sending in your snbscrip-
 tions and increasing your Clubs for the
 year just before us j. b|l- t-S- &-- l TERMS OF THE TRIBUNE. ,r nj rTt,,,x,,--, Nfa:l c,,1,a..st,... an .,..
