THE
NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
For 1872.

IleuldFy dHu HnpSteHt, INTO one pOWeffni
State, with Rome as 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 Bourbons from the Spanish
throne, and the substitution for them of a
scion of the most liberal among royal houses
the virtual absorption of the kingdoms of
Saxony, Wurtemburg. Bavaria, with Baden.
IIesse, the Hanse Towns, etc, under the
hAadShip 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 relinquished
designs on the great city founded by Con
sSantine 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 a complete and
instructive panorama of events ON that con
tinent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-ageJ Feudalism and Eeclesi-
astieism on the one hand and Nineteenth
Centnry skepticism and seeularism on the
other. Recognizing Divine Providence in
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully OH
the great conflict as destined like our own
recent eonvulsion) to evolve from strife, dis
aster, aud seeming chaos fairer and hap
pier future for the toiling masses of mankind
In our own country, u war upon eerruption
and rascalty in. Office has been inaugefsted
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 inauglirated
cannot, in its progress, be circumscribed to
any locality or any party, but that its puri
flying influence is destined to be felt in every
part of the Union .rebuking yenality, expos
ing robbery, Wrestling power from politicians
by trade, and confding it in those worthiest
and fittest to WELD it. To this benefcent
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
ties of half theE' bygone intensity. However
parties may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear
that the fundamental principles which have
hitherto honorably distinguished the Repub-
lieans are henceforth to be regarded "a prac-
tieally accepted by the whole country. The
right OF every man TO his own limbs and sim
ews-the equality of all citizens before the
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
crime-such are the broad and firm founda-
tions of our National edifice; and palsied be
the hand that shall seek to displaee them.
Though not vet twenty years old. the ReDub
lican party has completed the noble fabric Ut
Emancipation, and may fairly invoke there
m the sternest jud gment of Man aud the be-
nignant smile of God.
Henceforth the mission of our Republic is
one OF Peaceful Progress. TO protect the
weak and the humble from violence and op-
pression-tO extend the boundaries and diff
fuse the blessings of Civilization-to stinu-
late Ingenuity to the production of new in
yentions for economizing Labor and thus
enlarging Production-tO draw nearer to
each other the producers of Food and Fab
ries, of Grains and of Metals, and thus en-
nance the gains of Industry by reducing the
cost of transportation and exchanges between
farmers and artisans-such is the inspiring
Il.
andby which it would tain contribute to this
progress. enlightenment and happiness of our
race. To this great and good work The Ifi
tetne contributes its Jealous, persistent efforts.
Agriculture will continue to be more es-
pecially elucdated in its Weekly and Semi
Weekly editions, to which some of the ablest
and most successful filters of the soil will
contribute. No farmer who sells $500 worth
of produce per annum can afford to do with
out our Market Reports, or others equally
lucid and comprehensive. IF lie should read
nothing else but what relates to his own cali
ing and its rewards, we believe that no farm
er who can read at all can afford to do with
out such u journal as The Tribune. And VIC
aspire TO make it equally valuable to those
engaged i'll other departments of Productive
Labor. We spend more and more money on
our columns each year, as our eOuntrymen's
generous patronage enables us to do; and VIC
are resolved that our issues of former years
