our tidines from the Old World. THE
TRIBUNE, through trusted correspondents
stationed at all points in Europe where
great movements are in progress or emmi-

In our own country. n war upon cor
ruption and rascality in Office has been
inaugurated in our City, whereby the gov
of our State has been revolution
lied through an initial triumph of Reform
which surpasses the most sanguinc antici-
pations. 1t is morally certain that the
movement thus inaueuratcd cannot, i'll is
progress, be circumscribed to any locality
or any party, but that its purifying ia
fuence is destined to be felt i'll every
part Of the Union. rebuk'ng venality. ex-
posing robbery, wrestling power from poll

worthicst and f,,est 20 WELD it. To this
bencfcent and vitality needed Reform,
TIE TRIBUNE will devote its best cner-
gies, regardless OF personal interests or
party predictions. esteeming the choice
of honest and faithful men to Office as Of
all New Departures the most essential
and suspicious.
The virtual surrender by the Democrat
ic party of its hostility To Equal Rights
regardless of Color has diyested our cur
rent politics of half their bygone intensity.
However parties may ienccforth rise or
fall, it is clear that the fundamental prin-
ciples which have hitherto honorably dis
tinguished the Republicans are heuceforth
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 a State to %enslaye any
portion Of its peoplc-the duty of the
Union to guarantee to every citizen the
full enjoyment of his liberty until he for
feits it by criine-such are the broad and
firm foundations of our National edifice ;
and palsied be the hand which shall seek
to displacc theml Though not yet TWEEN
ty years old, the Republican party has
completed the noble ia brio of Emancipa-
ton, and may fairly Invoke thereon the
stcrnest judgment of Man and the benig-
nant smile of God.
Henceforth, the mission of our Repub-
lie is one of Peaceful Progress. To pro-
tect the weak and the humble from vio-
lence and oppression-to extend the boun-
daries and diffuse the blessings Of Civ;liza-
tion-to stimulate Ingenuity TO the pro-
duction of new inventions for ~ecOnomiziDg
Labor and thus enlarging Production-to
draw nearer to each other the producer Of
Food and of Fabrics, of Grains and Of
Metals. and thus enhance the gains of In
austry by reducing the cost of Transports
ton and exchanges between farmers and
srtissns-such is the inspiring task to
which this Nation now addresses itself, T
and by which it would fain contribute to
the progress, enlightenment, and happi-
ness of our race. To this great and good
work. TIE tribune contributes its zeal
Gus, persistent efforts.
Agricnltare will continue to be mere
especially Calculated in its Weekly and
and, Semi Weekly editions, to which some
Of the ablest and most successful tillers of ,
the soil will steadily contribute. No
farmer who sells $500 worth of produce
per aunuln 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
and its rewards, We believe that no
farmer who can read at all can afford to
without such u Journal as the TRIBUNE.
And we aspire to make it equally valua-
bic to those engaged in other departments
of Productive Labor. We spend more
and more money on our columns each
year, as our countrymen's generous pat-
enables US to do and We are re-
solved that our next issues of former
years shall be exceeded in varied excel
and interest by those of 1S72.-
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 EA
