NEW YORK TRIR UN e,
Fo1. 1872.

The consolidation of Italy, so long frag-
mentary and impotent, into one powerful
State. with Rome rs its capital the humili-
ating of France through series of crushing
defeats, ending with the siege and eapitula-
ton of her proud and gay metropolis the
expulsion of the Beurbons 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 the
headship of Prussia, into the triumphant and
powerful empire of Germany and the arm
ing of Russia to reassert her preponderance
in the Councils of Europe, or to prosecute
her often postponed but never relnquished
designs on the great city founded by Con
stantine and the vast but deeaying and an
archal 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 a complete and
/ instructive panorama of events on that con-
tinent and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-aged Feudalism and Ecclesi-
asticsm on the one hand and Nineteenth
Century skepticism and secularism on the
other Recognizing Divine Providence in
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully ON
the great conflict as destined like our own
recent convulsion] to evolve from STRIFE dis
aster, aud seeming chaos, a fairer and hap
pier future for the toiing masses Of mankind.
/ In our own country, a war upon corruption
and rascality in office has been inaugurated
in our City, whereby the government of our
State has been revolutionized through an in
itial triumph of Reform which SURPRISES the
most sanguine anticipations. 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus inaugurated
cannot, in its progress, be circumscrihcd to
any locality or any party, but that its puri-
flying influence is destined to be felt in every
part of the Union, Gebuking venality, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, and confiding it i'll those wortlest
and fittest to WELD it. To this beneficent
and vitality needed Reform, The Tribune will
sonal interests or party predictions, esteem
ing the choice of honest and faithful men 10
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
ties of half their bygone intensity. However
p;lrties 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 sim
ews-the equality of all citizens before tho
law--the inability of d State to enslave any
portion of its peOple-thc duty of the Union
) to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy
: ment of his liberty until he forfeits it by
crime-Slch are the broad and firm founda-
lions of our National editee and paIsied be
the hand that shall seek to displace them!
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. aHJ t
!. Henccforth the mission of our Republic is
!. one of Peaceful Progress To protect tho
( pressioil--to extend the boundaries and diff
!. fuse the blessings of Civiization--to stiImi-
Il late Ingenuity to the production of new IN
p yentions for econonlizing Labor and thus
j. charging Productipn-to draw nearer tn
Z each other the producers of Food and Fab
D RIGS, of Grains and of Metals, and thus Ell
J. nance the gains of Industry by reducing the
/. cost of transportation and exchanges between
II farmers and artisans--such is the inspiring
). task to which the Nation now addresses itself.

Agriculture Will continue TO be moro es-
:. peeially calculated IN its Weekly aud Semi,
Weekly editions, to. which some of the tblest
s. and most successful tiliers of the soil will
|, contribute. No farmer who sells $500 worti,
OF produce per aIallnn can afford to do with
s. out our Market Reports, or others equally
lucid and comprehensive. If he should read
nothing else but what relates to his own cali
" ing and its rewards VIC believe that no farm
N er who can read at all can afford to do with
out such q journal as The Tribune. And wa
aspire to make it equally valuable to those
= engaged IN other departments of Productive
: Labor. We spend more and more money on
0tll. columns each year, RS our ceuntrynen
generous patronage enables us to do and We
are resolved that our issues of former years
Il shall be exceeded in yaried 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
