For 1872.

mentary and imp0tent, into one powerful
State, with Rome as its capital the humili-
ating of France througi series of crushing
defeats, ending with the siege and eapitula-
ton of her proud and gay metropolis the
expulsion of the Boarbons from the Spanish
throne, and the substitution for them of q
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
in the Councils of Europe, ors to prosecute
her often postponed but never relinquished
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 complete and
instructive panorama of events on that con
tinent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-aged Feudalism and Eeelesi-
asticism on the one hand and Nineteenth
Century skepticism and secularism ON the
other. Recognizing a Divine Providence in
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully OH
the great conflict as destined like our own
recent convulsion) 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
itial triumph of Reform which SURPRISES the
most sanguine anticipations. 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus inaugurated
cannot, in its progress, be circumscribed to
any locality or any party, but that its puri-
tying influence is destined to be felt in every
part Of the Union, .rebuking yenality, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, and confidIng it in those worthfest
and fittest to WELD it, To this benefiecnt
and vitality needed Reform, The Tribune Will
devote its best energies, regardless of per-
sonaI 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

ties of half their bygone intensity, However
parties may hencetorth rise or fall, it is clear
that the fundamental principles which have
hitherto honorably distinguished the Repub-
leans are henccforth to be regarded as prac-
tical!y accepted by the whole country The
right of every man to his own limbs aud si11-

lawT-tlie inability of a State TO enslave any

to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy

tons of our National edifiee and palsied DO
the hand that shall seek to dispiace them.
Though not yet twenty years old. the Repub-
lican party has completed the noble fabric ut
Emancipation, and may fairly invoke there
on the sternest Judgment of Man and the be-
nignant smile of God.
Heneeforth the mission of our Republic is
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the

Agriculture will continue to be more es-
pceally calculated IN its Weekly and Semi
Weekly editions, to which some of tho allest
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. III he should read
nothing else but what relates to his own cali
ing and It's rewards, we believe that no farm
or who can read at all can afford to do with
ont such q journal as The Tribune. And we
aspire to make it equally valuable to those
engaged in other departments of Productive
Labor. We spend more and more money on
our columns each year, as our eounfrymen's
generous patronage enables us to do; and We
