NEW YORK TRIBUNE,
For 1879.


ating Of France through series of crushing
defeats, ending with the siege and capitular
ton of her proud and gay metropolis the
expulsion of the Bourbons from the Spanish
throne, and the Substitution for than of :
scion of the most liberal among royal houses;
the virtual absorption of the kingdoms Of
Saxony, Wurte1nburg, 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 preponderancs
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 decaying and an.
archial dominion of the Sultan, al combine
to invest with profound interest tho 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 q complete and
instructive panorama of events on that con.
tinent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-aged Feudalism and Ecclesi-
asticism on the one hand and Nineteenth
Century skeptieism and secularism on the
other. Recognizing q Divine Providence In
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on
the great conflict as destined tlike our own
recent convulsioni to evolve from strife, dis
aster, aud seeming chaos, q fairer and hap.
pier future for the toiling masses of mankind.
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.
itisl triumph of Reform which surpasses the
most sanguine anticipations. II is morally
certain that the movement thus insugurated
cannot In its progress, be circumseribed to

part of the Union, rebuking venality, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, and confding it in those worthiest
and fttest to WELD it. To tfis benefcent
and vitality needed Reform, The Tribune will
devote its best energies, regardless of per-
sonal interests or party predictions, esteem.

Office as of all New Departures the most e.
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
tics of half their bygone intensity. However
parties may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear
that the fundamental principles which havs
hitherto honorably distinguished the Repab.
licans are henceforth to be regarded as prae-
tically accepted by the whole country. Ths
right of every man TO his own limba and sin
ews--the equality of all citizens before the
| law-the inability of State to enslave any
portion of its people-thc duty of the UnioA
| to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy
n1ent of his liberty until he forfeits il by
crime-such are the broad and firm foundn-
tons of our National edi6ce; and palsied be
the hand that shall seek to displacc them
Though not yet twenty years old, the Repub-
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 our Republic il
one of Peaceful Progress To project tbs

enlarging Production-tO draw neRrer to

cost of transportation and exchanges between

task to which the Nation now addresses itself,
andby which it would fain contribute to the
progress, enlightenment and happiness of our

Agriculture will continue to be moro ea-
pecially elncidated in its Weekly and Semi.
Weekly editions, to which some of the ahlest
and most successful tillers of the soil will
contribute. No farmer who sells $500 worth
of produce per annum can afford to do with

lucid and comprehensive If he should read
nothing else but what relates to his own call

aspire to make it equally valuable to thoss

: our columns each year, as our countrynien's
generous patronage enables us to do; and we
are resolved that our issues of former years
shall be exceeded in varied excellence ans
interest by those of 1872. Friends in every
