THE
NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
For 1872.

State, with Rome as its capital the huiniH.
ating of France through series of erasIiao
defeats, ending with the siege and capitula-
tion of her proud and gay metropolis; the
expulsion of the Bourbons from the Spanish
throne, and the substitution for them Of !
scion of the most liberal among royal houses:
the virtual absorption of the kingdoms Of
Saxony, 'Wurtemburg, Bavaria, with Baden.
Hesse, the Hanse Towns, etc., under the
headship of Prussia, into the triumphant and
powerful empire of Germany and the arm,
ing of Russia to reassert her preponderance
in the Councils of Europe, or to prosecute
her often postponed but never relinquished
designs on the great city founded by Con-
stantine and the vast but deeaying and an
arehial dominion of the Sultan, all combine
| to invest with profound interest the ever
changing phases of our tidings from the Old
! World. The Tribune, through trusted cor
respondents stationed at all points IN Eu-
rope where great movements are in progress
or imminent, aims to present complete and
| instructive panorama of events ON that con.
tinent and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between IAiddle-aged Feudalism and Ecelesi-
astieism on the one hand and Nineteenth-
| Century skeptcism and secularisnl on tho
other. Recognizing Divine Providence in
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on
the great conflict as destined like our own
recent convulsionl to evolve from strife, dis
aster, aud seeming chaos, fairer and hap
/ In our own country, a war upon corruption
and rascality in Office has been inaugurated
in our City, whereby the government of our
State has been revolutionized through an in
| itial triumph of Reform which surpasses the
most sanguine authorizations. II is morally
certain that the movement thus inaugurated
cannot, in its progress, be- eircumseribed to
any locality or any party, but that its puri-
flying influence is destined to be felt in every
part of the Union, rebuking venality, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, and confiding it in those worthiest
and fittest to WELD it. To this beneficent
and vitality needed Reform, The Tribune will
devote its best energies, regardless of per-
sonal interests or party predictions, esteem
ing the choice of honest and faithful men to
Office as of all New Departures the most eS-
sential and suspicious.
The virtual surrender by the Democratic
party of its hostility to Equal Rights regard.
less of Color has Invested our current poll
ties of half their bygone intensity. However
parties may henceforth rise or fall, it Is clear
that the fundamental principles which have
hitherto honorably distinguished the Repub-
licans are hencefOrth to be regarded as prac-
tically accepted by the whole country. The
right of every man to his own limbs and sill
ews-the equality of all citizens before tho
law-the inability of State TO enslave am
portion of its people-the duty of the Unios
to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy
ment of his liberty until he forfeits it By
crime-such are the broad and firm founda-
tons of our National edifice; and palsied be
the hand that shall seek to displace thenlt
Though not yet twenty years old, the Ropub-
lican party has completed the noble fabric OF
Emancipation, and may fairly invoke there
ON the sternest Judgment of Man and the be-
nignant smile of God.
Henceforth the mission of eur Republic is
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the
weak and the humble from violence and OPP
pression--to extend the boundaries and diff
! fuse the blessings of CivilizatioI-to stilnu-
Late Ingenuity to the production of new in
ventions for ecOnomizing Labor and thus
enlarging Producton-t0 draw nearer to
each other the producers of Food and Fab

task to which the Nation now addresses ITSELF
