The consolidation of Italy, so long frag-
mentary and impotent. into one powerful State,
with Rome as its capital; the Illumination OF
France through series OF crushing defeats,
ending with the siege and capitulation of her |
proud and gay metropolis the expulsion of the
Bourbons from the Spanish throne, and the sub.
stitution for them of scion of the most liberal |
among royal houses the virtual absorption of |
the kingdoms of Saxony, Wurttemberg, Bavaria,
with Baden, Hesse, the Hanse Towns, &C., |
under the headship of Prussia, into the triumph |
ant and powerful empire of Germany: and the |
arming 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 Constantine and the
vast but decaying and anarchcal dominion of the
Sultan, all combine to invest with profound in.
terest the ever.changing phases OF our tdings
from the Old World The tribune, through
trusted correspondents stationed at all points in
Europe where great movements are IN progress
or imminent, aims to present complete and IN
structive panorama of events on that continent,
and to mirror the prolonged struggle between
midde-age Feudalism and Ecclesasticism on
| the one hand and Nineteenth Century skepticlsm
and secuarlsm on the other. Recognizing
Divine Providence in all that proceeds and is, 1t
looks hopefully on the great conflicts as destined

strife, disaster, and seeming chaos, iairer and

In our own country upon corruption and
| rascality in office has been inaugurated i'll our
City, whereby the government of our State has
been revolutionized through an initial triumph
| of Reform which surprises the most sanguine
anticipations. 1t is morally certain that the
| movement thus inaugurated cannot, in its pro-
| gress, be circumscribed to any locality or any
party, but that its purifying influence is destined
| to be felt in every part of the Union, rebuklng
venality, exposing robbery, wrestling power from
politicians by trade, and confiding it in those
| worthiest and fttest to WELD it, To this beneii-
cent and vitality needed Reform The Tribune
will devote its best energies, regardless of per-
| sonal interests or party predictions. esteemng
the choice of honest and faithful men to Office
as of all New Departures the most essential and
suspicious.
The virtual surrender by the Democratic party
of its hostility to Equal Rights. regardless Of
Color, has Invested our current politics of half
their by gone intensity. However parties may
henceforth rise fall, it is clear that the funda
mental principles which have hitherto honorably
distinguished the Republicans are henceforth to
be regarded as practically accepted by the whole
country. The right of every man to his own
limbs and sinews-the equality of all citizens
before the law-the inability of a State to ensave
any portion of its people-the duty of the Union
to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoyment
of his liberty until he forfets it by crime-such
are the broad and firm foundations of our Ma

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 sternest judgment
| of Man and the benignant smile of God.
| Henceforth, the mission of our Republic is
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the weak
and humble from violence and oppression-to
extend the boundaries and diifuse the blessings
of CivilizatiOn-to stimulate Ingenuity to the
production OF new inventions for economising
Labor and thus enlarging Production--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 between
farmers and artlsans-such as the inspiring task
to which this Nation now addresses itself, and
by which it would lain contribute to the progress,
enlightenment, and happiness of our race To
this great and good work, The Tribune contrib
utes its Jealous, persistent efforts.
| Agriculture will continue to be more especially
elucidated in its Weekly and Semi Weekly edi
! tons, to which some of the abiest and most
, successful tilers of the soil will steadily con
tribute. No farmer who sells $500 worth Of
produce per annum 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 farmer who can
read at all can afford to do without such jour.
| ual as The Tribune. And we aspire to make il
partments 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 oul
issues of former years shall be exceeded in
varied excellence and interest by those of 1872.
