THE
YO RK TRIB UN Il.
For 1872.

The consolidation OF Italy, so long trag-
mentary and impotent, into one powerful
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 Bonbons 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 preponderanee
in the Councils of Europe, or to prosecute
her often postponed but never relinauished
designs on the great city founded by Con
stantine and the vast but deeaying 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-aged Feudalisin and Eeclesi-
asticisln on the ane hand and Nineteenth
Century skeptieisn and .sseal.afissn ca INC
other Recognizing Divine Providence in
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on
the great conflict as destined Qike our own
recent eonvulsion) TO evolve from strife, dis
aster, aud seeming chaos, a fairer and hap
pier future for the toiling 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
most sanglrine antieipations 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus inauguratcd
cannot, in its progress, be eircumserihed to
any locality or amy 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
1 by trade, and confding it in those worthiest
and fittest to WELD it. To this beneficent
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 peli-
ties OF half their bygone intensity. However
parties may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear
that the fundamental principles which have
hitherto honorably distinguished the Repub-
feans are henceforth to be regarded as prae-
tically accepted by the whole country. The
right of every man TO his own limbs and sin,

Iaw-the inability of q State to enslave any
portion of its people--the duty OF the Union
