FOR 1872.

 The consolidation of Italy, 30 long frag- mentary and irnpotent, into one powerful State, with Rome as it's capital; the hu- initiation of France through series of crushing defeats, ending with the siege and equalization of her proud and gay me- tfopolis; the expulsion of the Bourbons from the Spanish throne, and the substi- tion for them of a scion of the most iber- al among royal houses; the virtual absorp- tion of the kingdoms of Saxony, Wurtem- burg, Bavaria, with Baden, Hesse, the Hanse Towns, &c.,, under the headship of Prussia, into the triumphant and power full empire of Germany; and the arning of Russia to reassert her preponderance in the councils of Europe, or to prosecute her often postponed but never relinquish- ed designs on the great city founded by Constantine and the vast but decaying and anarchical 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 correspondents stationed as all points in Europe where great movements are in progress or imminent, aims to pre- sent complete and instructive panorama of events on that continent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle between middle age Feudalism and Ecclssiasticism on the one hand and Nineteenth Century akepti- cism and secularism on the other. Re- cognizing Divine Providence in all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on the great conflict as destined Qiks our own re- cent convulsion) to evolve from strife, dis aster, and seeming chaos, fairer and happier future for the toilinG masses of mankind. 2 s-@
 ruption and rsscalfty in office has been inaugurated in our City, whereby the gov ernment of our State has been revolution ized through an initial triumph of Reform which surpasses the most sanguine antici- pations. It is morally certain that the movement thus inaugurated cannot in it's progress, be circumscribed to any locality or any party, but that it's purifying infn- ence is destined to be felt in every part of the Union, rebuking venality, exposing robbery, wrestling power from politicians by trade, and oonfding it in those worthi- est and Attest to wield it. To this benef- cent and vitally needed Reform, The Tri- bune will devote it's best energies, regard less of personal interests or party predi- lections, esteeming the choice of honest and faithful men to office as of all New Departures the most essential and auspi- cious. .. s-lr
 The virtual surrender by the Democrat ic party of it's hostility to Equal Rights regardless of Color has divested our cur rent politics of half their bygone intensity However, parties may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear that the fundamental prin- ciples which have hitherto honorably dis tinguished the Republicans are henceforth to be regarded as practically accepted 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 of State to enslave any DOT tion of its people-the duty of the Union to guarantee to every citizen the full en- joyment of his liberty until he forfeits it by crime-such are the broad and firm foundations of our National edifce; and palsied be the hand. which shall seek to displace themi Though not yet twenty years old, the Republican party has com pleted the noble fabric of Emancipation, and may fairly invoke thereon the stern- est judgment of Man and the benignant smile of God. m
 Henceforth, the mission of our Bepub- lie is one of Peaceful Progress. To pro- tect the weak and the humble from vio- lence and oppression-to extend the boundaries and diffuse the blessings of Civilization-to stimulate Igenuity to the production of new inventions for econo- mixing Labor and thus enlarging Produc- tion-to draw nearer to each other the producers of Food and of Fabrics, of Grains and of Metals, and thus enhance the gains of Industry by reducing the cost of transportation and exchanges be- tween farmers and artisans-such is the inspiring task to which this Nation now addres sses itself, and by which it would fain contribute to the progress, enhghten- ment, and happiness of our race. To this great and good work, The Tribune con- tributes its zealous, persistent efforts.
 Agriculture will continue to be more es- pecially elucidated in its Weekly and Semi Weekly editions, to which some of the ablest and most successful tillers of the soil will steadfastly contribute. No farmer who sells $300 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 rewards, we believe that no farmer who can read at all can afford to do without such a journal as the The Tn- bune. And we aspire to make it equally valuable to those engaged in other depart ments of Productive Labor. We spend more and more money on our columns each year, as our conntrymen's generous patronage enables us to do; and we arere- solved that our issuesof former years shall be exceeded in varied excellence and in- terest by those of 1872. Friends in every State help us to make our journal bettel and better, by sending in your subscrip- tions and increasing your Clubs for the year just before us
