THE
NEW YORK TRIB UNE.
For 1872.

menta1y anu iitpottHt, INTO ouc powerful
State, with Rome as its capital; the huInili-
ating of France through a series of crushing
defeats, ending with the siege and eapitula-
ton of her proud and gay metropolis; the
expulsion of the BoHrbons from the Spanish
throne, and the substitution for them of
scion of the most liberal among royal houses
the virtual absorption of the kingdoms of
Saxony, Wurtemburg, Bavaria, with Baden
Hesse, the Hanse Towns, etc, under tho
headship of Prussia, into the triumphant and
ing of Russia to reassert her preponderanee
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, 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 Eu.
rope where great movements are in progress
or imminent, aims to present complete and
| instructive panorama of events ON that con-
| tinent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between 1niddle-aged Feudaiism and Eeclesi-
asticism ON the one hand and Nineteenth
| Century skepticism and secularism- on the
other Recognizing a Divine Providence in
| all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on
the great conflict as destined like our own
recent convrlsion) to evolve from strife, dis
aster, aud seeming chaos, fairer and hap
pier future for the toiling masses OF mankind.
| In our own country, a war upon corruption
and raseality in office has been inaugurated
in our City, whereby the government Of our
State has been revolutionzed through an in
itial triumph of Reform which surpasses the
most sanglline anticipations. 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus inaugurated
cannot, in its progress, be eireumscribed to
| any locality or any party, but that its puri-
| flying influence is destined to be felt in every
part of the Union, rebuking venality, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, aud eonfding it in those worthiest
| and fittest to WELD it. To this benefeent
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 poll
tics of half their bygone intensity. However
parties may heneeforth rise or fall, it is clear
that the fundamental principles which have
hitherto honorably distinguished the Repub
licans are henceforth TO be regarded as prac-
tically accepted by the whole country. The
right of every man to his own limbs and sin
ews-the equality of all citizens, before the
law-the inability of State to euslave any
| portion of its pecple-the duty of the Union
to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy
/ ment of his liberty until he forfeits it by
crime-such are the broad and firm fo1indx-
lions of our National edifice and palsied be
the hand that shall seek to displace them
Thoughnot yet twenty years old, the Rapub
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 cur Republic is
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the
4 weak and the humble from violence and on
pression-to extend the boundaries and diff
late Ingenuity to the production of new in
ventions for economizinf Labor and Thus
enlarging Produetien-tA draw nearer to
each other the producers aof Food and Fab
RIGS, of Grains and of NJ atals, and thus en-
1 nance the gains of Industry by reducing tho
| cost of transportation and exchanges between
farmers and artisans--sueh is the inspiring
task to which the Nation now addresses itself,
andby which it would fain contribute to the
progress, enlightenment and happiness of our
race To this great and good work, The 1fi-
bane contributes its ZealolIs, persistent efforts.
i Agriculture will continue to be more es-
pecially elucidated in its Weekly and Semi
Weekly editions, to whie some of the ablest
and most successful tillers of the soil will
contribute. No farmer tho sells $500 worth
of produce per annum eau afford to do with
out orr Market Reports or others equally
lucid and comprehensive. If he should read
nothing else but what relates to his own call
ing and its rewards, we believe that no farm
er who can read at all can afford to do with
out such a Journal as The Tribune. And We
aspire to make it equally valuable to tllose
engaged in other departments of Productive
Labor. We spend more and more money on
our columns each year, as our eountrYmen's
Il generous patronage enables us to do and We
are resolved that our issues of former yearE
! shall be exceeded in varied excellence and
interest by those of 1872. Friends in every
State help us TO make our journal better
and better, by sending in your subscriptions
and increasing your Clubs for the year just
before us!
