NEV YORK TRIBUNE
For 1872.

The casolidation of Italy, SO long fragment
ary andmpotent, into one powerful State, with
| Rome asts capital the humiliation of France
through series of crushing defeats, ending
with theiege and capitulatlon OF her proud and
gay metrpolis the expulsion of the Bourbons
from thepanish throne, and the substitution
| fer them scion of the most liberal among
| the royaltouses the virtual absorption of the
| kingdom! of Sa1ony, Wurtemberg, Bavaris,
with Badn, Hesse, the Hanse Towns, DC, un-
der the he lship of Prussia, into the triumphant
and powrful empire of Germany; and the
arming oRussia to re-assert her preponderance
in the colicils of Europe, or to prosecute her
often postoned but never relinquished designs
in the gret city founded by Constantine and
the vast bt decayng and anarchical dominion
of the Suhn. all combine to invest with pro-
found intaest the ever-changing phases OF our
tidings firm the Old World. The TrtbunS
through tlsted correspondents stationed at all
points IN hrope where great movements are in
progress q imminent, aims to present com
plete and istructive panorama of events on that
continent, md 10 mirror the prolonged struggle
between nddle-aged Feudallsm and Eccleslas-
ticism on be one hand and Nineteenth Century
skepticism and secularism on the other. Re-
cognizins Divine Providence in all that pro-
ceeds and is, it looks hopefully ON the great
conflict asdestined like our own recent con-
vulsion) tt evolve from strife, disaster, and
seeming chos, fairer and happier future for
the tOIIngnasseS or MANKIND.
In our O7n country, a war upon corruption
and rascalty in office has been inaugdrated in
our city, wereby the government of xour State
has been rvolutionized through an initial tri-
umph of rform which surpasses the most san
guine antidpations. 1t is morally certain that
the movement thus inaugurated cannot, IN its
progress, b circumscribed to any locality or
any party, but that its purifying influence Is
destined tobe felt in every part OF the Union,
rebuking v,nality exposing robbery, wrestling
power frompoliticans by trade, and confdlng
it in those Vorthiest and fttest to WELD it. To
this benefent and yitally needed REFORM the
Tribune viii devote its best energies, regardless
Of personal interests or party predictions, es-
teeming thechoice of honest and faithful men
to office us o. all New Departures the most es-
sential and alspiciouS.
Agricultun will continue to be more espe-
cially elucdited in its Weekly and Semi W eek
ly editions, to which some of the ablest and most
successful tilers of the soil will steadily con-
tribute No farmer who sells 1900 worth of
produce per annum can afford to do without our
market reports or others equally lucid and
comprehensive If he should read nothing else
but what relates to his own calling and its re-
wards, we believe that no farmer who can read
at all can afford to do without such a journal as
The Tribune. And we aspire to make it equally
valuable to those engaged in other departments
of productive labor. We spend more and more
money on our columns each year, as our coun-
trymen's generous patronage enables US TO do;
and we are resolved that our issues OF former
years shall be exceeded in varied excellence and
interest by these of 1872. Friends in every
State help US to make our journal better and
better, by sending in your subscriptions and in
creasing your clubs for the year just before us !
