THE
NEW YORK TRIB UNE,
For 1879.

State. with Rome as it's capital the humili-
atine of France through series of crushing
defeats, ending with the siege and eapitula-
ton of her proud and gay metropolis; the
expulsion of the BOurbons 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
her often postponed but never relinquished
designs ON the great city founded by Con-
stantine and the vast but decaying and an
arehial 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 Feudalsm and Ecclesi-
astieism on the one hand and Nineteenth
Century skepticism and seeularisn 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, 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 inauguratcd
in our City. whereby the government of our
State has been revolutionized through an in
itial triumph of Reform which surpasses the
most sanguine anticipations. 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus inaugurated
cannot, in its progress, be cireumscribed 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, and confiding it in those worthiest
and fittest to WELD it. To this beneicent
and vitally 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 henccforth 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-
tieally accepted by the whole country. The
right of every man to his own limbs and sin
ews-tle equality of all citizens before tho
law--the inability of u State to enslaye any
portion of its people-the duty of the Union
to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy
ment of his liberty until he forfeits It by
crine-sucl are the broad and firm founsla-
tons of our National edifice and palsiel be-
the hand that shall seek to displace them
Though not yet twenty years old, the Repub-
hcan 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 our Republic is
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the
