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-s
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 middle-aged Fcudalism and Ecclesi
asticism on the one hand and Nineteenth.
Century skepticisni and secularism on the
ether. Recognizing Divine Providence in
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on
the great conflict as destined ilike our own

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 anticipations. It is morally
certain that the movement thus inauguratcd
cannot, in its progress, be eircunscribed to
any locality or any party, but that its puri-
| flying influence is destined to be felt in every
part of the Union, irebuking yenality, expos

| by trade. and eonfding it in those worthiest
| and fittest to WELD it. To this beneficcnt
and vitality needed Reform, The Tribune will
| devote its best energies, regardless of per-

ing the choice of honest and faithful men to
office as of all New Departures the most es-
sential and suspicious.
