Tor 1872.
The consolidation of Italy, so long fragment
airy and impotent, into one powerful State, with
Rome rs its capital the humiliation of France
through II series of crushing defeats, ending
with the siege and capitalization OF her proud and
gay metropolis; the expulsion of the Bourbons
from the Spanish throne, and the substitution
for them of a scion of the most liberal among
the royal houses the virtual absorption of the
kingdoms of Saxony, Wurtemberg Bavaria,
with Baden, Hesse, the Hanse Towns, &c, un-
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 to prosecute her
often postponed but never relinquished designs
in the great city founded by Constantine and
the vast but decaying and anarchcal dominion
of the Sultan, all combine to invest with pro-
found interest 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 a COM
plete and instructive panorama of events on that
continent and 10 mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-aged Feudalism and Ecclesias-
ticsm on the one hand and Nineteenth Century
skepticism and secularism on the other. Re-
cognizing Divine Providence in all that pro-
ceeds and is, il looks hopefully on the great
conflict as destined dixie our own, recent con-
vulsion) TO evolve from strife, disaster, and
seeming chaos, a 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
our city, whereby the government of our State
has been revoutionized 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 venality, exposing robbery, Wrestling
power from politicians by trade and coniiding
it in those worthiest and fttest to WELD it. To
| this benehcent and vitality needed reform, the
Tribune will devote its best energies, regarde ss
of personal interests or party predictions, cs-
| teeming the choice of honest and faithful men
to Office as of all New Departures the most es-
! sential and auspicious.
| Agriculture will continue to be more espe-
| cially clucidated in its Weekly and Semi Week
| 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 journal a:

| money on our columns each year, as our coun'

and we are resolved that our issues OF former
years shall be exceeded in varied excellence ano
interest by these of 1872. Friends in every
State help us to make our journal better anC

The virtual surrender by the Democratic
PARTY of its hostility to equal rights regardles
of color have Invested our current politics o
half their bygone intensity, However partie
may henceforth rise or fall it is clear that the
fundamental principles which have hitherto
honorably distinguished the Republicans ar
henceforth to be regarded as practically accept

man to his own limbs and sinews-the equalit,
of all citizens before the law--the inability of
State to enslave any portion of its people-th'
duty of the Union to guarantee to every citizei
the full enjoyment .of his Thirty until he for
fets it by crime-such are the broad and firm
foundations of our National edifce; and palsiet
be the hand which shall seek to displace them
Though not yet twenty years old, the Republi
can party has completed the noble fabric o
Emancipation, and may fairly invoke Thereon
the sternest judgment Of man and the being

Henceforth, the mission of our Republic Is on
of peaceful progress To protect the weak AM
the humble from violence and OPPRESSION

of civilization-to stimulate ingenuity TO tn
| production of new inventions for economizn
labor and thus charging production-to draN
nearer TO each other the producers of food an
: | of fabrics o grains and of metals, and thus en-
hanoe the gains of industry by reducing the co;
of transportation and exchanges between farm
ers and aTtisans-such is the inspiring task t
which this nation now addresses itself, and b.
| which it would fain contribute to the progres,
enlightenment and happiness of our race. 7
