NEW YORK TRIBUNE
For 1879.

The consolidation of Italy, so long fragment
airy and impotent into one powerful State with
Rome as its capital the humiliation of France
through a series Of crushing defeats, ending
with the siege and captulation of her proud and
gay metropolis the expulsion of the Bourbons
from the Spanish throne, and the substitution
the royal houses the virtual absorption of the
Kingdoms of Saxony, Wurtemberg, Bavaria,
with Baden, Hesse, the Hanse Towns, &C., I'M
der the hea lship of Prussia, into the triumphant
and powerful empire of Germany and the
arming of Russia to re-assert her preponderance
in the councils of Europe, or to prosecute her
often postponed but never relinquished designs
in the great city founded by Constantine and
the vast but decaying and anarchical dominion
of the Sultan, all combine to invest with pro-
found interest the ever-changing phases of our
tidings from the f'i World. The Tribune,
through trusted correspondents stationed at all
points IN Europe where great movements are in
progress or imminent, aims to present com
plete and instructive panorama of events on that
continent, and 10 mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-aged Feudalsm and Ecclesias-
ticism on the one hand and Nineteenth Century
skepticism and secularism on the other. Re-
cognizing Divine Providence in all that pro-
ceeds and is, it looks hopefully on the great
conflict as destined dixie our own recent con-
vulsion) to evolve from strife, disaster and
seeming chaos, fairer and happier future for
the toiling masses of mankind.
In our own country, war upon corruption
and rascality in Office has been inaugurated in
has been revolutionized through an initial tri-
umph of reform which surpasses the most SAN
guine anticipations. 1t is morally certain that
the movement thus inaugurated cannot in its
progress, be circumscribed to any locality or
any party, but that its purifying influence is
destined to be felt in every part of the Union,
rebuking venaity, exposing robbery, Wrestling
power from politicians by trade and confding
it in those worthiest and fttest to WELD it. To
this benefcent and vitality needed reform, the
Tribune will devote its best energies, regardless
of personal interests party predictions, es-
teeming the choice of honest and faithful men
to Office as Of all New Departures the most es-
sential and suspicious.
Agriculture will continue to be more espe-
cially elucidated in its Weekly and Semi w eek
ly editions, to which some of the ablest and most
successful tillers of the soil will steadily con-
tribute. No farmer who sells $500 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
| TIE 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
STATED help us to make our journal better and

creasing your clubs for the year Just before us
The virtual surrender by the Democratic
party of its hostility to equal rights regardless
of color have Invested our current politics of
| half their bygone intensity, However parties
may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear that the
! fundamental principles which have hitherto
| honorably distinguished the Republicans are
henceforth to be regarded as practically accept
cd 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
State to enslave any portion of its people-the
duty of the Union to guarantee to every citizen
the full enjoyment of his librty until he for
| feits it By crime-such are the broad and firm
| foundations of our National edifce; and palsed
| be the hand which shall seek to dsplace them
| Though not yet twenty years old, the Republi-
| can party has completed the noble fabric Of
Emancipation, and may fairly invoke thereon
| the sternest judgment Of man and the benig
| Henceforth, the mission of our Republic is one
| of peaceful progress. To protect the weak and
| the humble from violence and oppression-to
| extend the boundaries and diffuse the blessings
| of cvilization-to stimulate ingenuity to the
production of new inventions for economizing
labor and thus charging production--to draw
nearer to each other the producers of food and
of fabrics, of grains and of metals, and thus en-
| nance the gains of industry by reducing the cost
| of transportation and exchanges between farm
ers and artisans-such is the inspiring task to
| which this nation now addresses itself, and by
| which it would fain contribute to the progress,
this great and good work, TIE Tribune contrib
utes its Jealous, persistent efforts
