and the arming of Russia 10 r~eassert her

interest the ever-cAanging phases Of our

niz;ng a Divine Providence in all thai pro-
ceeds ahl is, it looks hopefully on the great
c n!lict as destined llike our own recent
convuls ion TO evolve from strife, disaster,
and seeming chaos, a fairer and happier
future for the toi!iug masses of mankind.
In our own country, a war upon corrup.
ton and rasoality in etice has been inaug-
urated in our city, whereby the government
of our State has been revolu,ionized through
an initial triumph of Reform which sur
passes the most %sanguine an;icipations. II
is morally certain that the movement thus
~inaugurated earnot, in its progress, be Cir
cumscribel TO any locality or any party,
but that its purifying influence is destined
70 be felt in every part Of the Union. re.uk-
ing vcnaiity, exposing robbery wrestling
power from politicians by trade, and con-
hding it in those worthiest ard tit.esi TO
WELD it. To this beneficent ard vitality
needed Reform. TIE TRlBu>E will devote
its best energies, regardless Of personal in
terests or party predictions, esteeming
the choice of honest and faithful men to of
fee as Of all New Departures Tie most c.-
sent;al and ausp;cious.
The virtual surrender by the Democratic
party OF its hostility to Equal Rights re-
CARELESS of Color has divestel our current
politics Of half their bygone intensity.
However parties may henceforih rise or
fall, it is clear hat the fundamental prin-
ciples which have hitherto Loaorably dis
inguished the Republicans are hcnce:or;h
to be regarded as practically accepted by
the whole country. The right Of every
man to his own limbs ana sincws the
equality Of all citizens before the law-,he
duty Of the Union to guarantee TO every
citizen the full enjoyment Of his liberty UNI
til he %forfeiis it by crime-such are Il
broad and firm foundations of our National
edifcc; and p~al.iei be the hand which shall
seek to disp'ace them. Though not yet
twenty years Old, the Republican party has
completed the noble fabric Of Emancipation,
and may fairly invoke thereon the sternes,
judgment of Man and the ~benisnant smile
Of God.
Henceforth, the mission Of our Republic
is ono Of Penceful Progress. To protect
the weak and The humble from violence and
oppression TO extend the bonn 'aries and
difuse the blessings of CiviliZat;on-to
stimulate Ingenuity 10 the production Of
new inventions for economizing Labor and
tht;s charging Production-to draw rca-er
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 ard exchanges
between farmers and ar,isans-such is the
inspiring task to which this Nation now ad-
dresses itself, and by which it would fain
contribute to the progress. enlightenment,
and happiness of our race. To this great
and good work, THE TRIBUNE contributes its
jealous, persistent Efforts.
Agriculture will continue TO be more
especially calculated in its Weekly and
Seni-Weekly editions, TO Which some of the
ablest and most successful filters of the soil
will steadily contribute. No farmer who
sells $500 worth of produce rer annum can
nfFord to do without our Market Reports, or
others eqi!aliy lucid and comprehensive If
he should rend nothing else but what re-
lates to his own calling and its rewa rds.
we believe that no farmer who can read at
all can afford to do without such , journal
as TIE TRIBUNE. And we aspire to make
it equally valuable to those engaged in 9th
err departments Of Productive Labor. We
spend more and more money on our
columns each year, as our countrymen's
generous patronage enables us TO do. and
we are resolved that onr Issue Of former
| years shall be exceeded in Varied excel
lence and interest by those Of 1872. Friends
