ing 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 Con-
stantine and the vast but deeaying and an
archial dominion of the Sultan, all combine
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 En-.
rope where great movements are in progress
or imminent, aims to present a complete and
instructive panorama of events ON that con.
tinent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-aged Feudalism and Ecelesi
asticism ON the one hand and Nineteenth
Century skepticism and secularism on the
other. Recognizing Divine Providenee in
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on
the great conflict as destined like our own
recent conyulsion) to evolve from strife, disc
aster aud seeming chaos, d fairer and hap
pier future for the toiling masses of mankind.
Ia our own country, a war upon corruption
and raseality in efice has been inanguratcsi
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. 1t il morally

cannot, in its progress, be circumscribed to.
flying influence is destined to be felt in every
part of the Union, rebuking venaiity, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade and confiding it in those worthiest
and fittest to WELD it. To this beneficent
and vitality needed Reform, The Tribune Will
devote its best energies, regardless of per
sonal interests or party predictions, esteem
ing the choice of honest and faithful men to
office as of all New Departures the most es-
sential and suspicious.
The virtual surrender by the Democratic
party of its hostility to Equal Rights regard
less of Color has Invested our current poIi-
tics 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 Repub-
licans are henceforth to be regarded as prae-
tically accepted by the whole country. The
right of every man to his own limbs and sim
ews-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 enjoy
ment of his liberty until he forfeits it by
erims-such are the broad and firm fpunda- s
tons of our National edifice and paIsied be,

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 protect the
pression-to extend the boundaries ami diff

yentions for eeonomizing Labor and thus
charging Pr0duction-tO draw nearer Is
each other the producers of Food and Fab
RIGS, of Grains and of Metals, and thus en-
hance the gains of Industry by reducing the
cost OF transportation and exchanges between
farmers and artisans-such is the inspiring
task to which the Nation now addresses itself,
andby which it would fain contribute to tho
progress, enlightenment and happiness of our
race. To this great and good work, The 1Fi,
bane contributes its Jealous, persistent efforts.
