pier future for the toiling masses OF mankind
In our own country, war upon corruption
and rascality in Office has been inaugurated
in our City, whereby the government of our
State has been reyolutionized 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 cireufnseribed to
any locality or any party, but that its pnri-
part of the Union, rebuking venality, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, and confding it in those #ortliiest
and fittest to WELD it. To this beneficent
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 NEST es-
sential and suspicious.
The virtual surrender By the Democrats

less of Color has Invested our current poll
tics 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 Repuh-
| licans are henceforth to be regarded as pras-
| tically accepted by the whole country. The

ews-the equality of all citizens before thd
! law--the inability of State to enslave any

Though not yet twenty years old. the Rapub-

Emancipation, and may fairly invoke there

Agriculture will continue to be more ss-
peciaily elucidated IN its Weekly and Sami-
/ Weekly editions, to which some of the ablesk
and most successful tillers 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 he should read
nothing else but what relates to his own call
ing and its rewards, we believe that no farns-
er who can read at all can afford to do With
out such a journal as The Tribune. And Hp
aspire to make it equally valuable to thosn
engaged in other departments of Productive
Labor. We spend more and more money gu
our columns each year, as our countrymen's
| generous patronage enables us to do; and ~
are resolved that our issues of former years
| shall be exceeded IN varied excellence anil
interest by those of 1872. Friends ID every
