THE
NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
For 1879.

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 capitula-
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 preponderanee
in the Councils of Europe, or to prosecute
her often postponed but never relinquished
designs on the great city founded by Con-
stantine 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-aged Feudalsm and Ecclesi-
asticism on the one hand and Nineteenth
Century skepticism and seculaIism on the
other. Recognizing a Divine Providence in
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on
the great conflict as destined like our own
recent conyulsion) to evolve from strife, dis
aster, aud seeming chaos, fairer and hap
pier AIture for the tOiling masses of mankind.
In Gus own country, q war upon corruption
and rascality in office has Seen inaugurated
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 inauguratod
cannot, in its progress, be eircumsoribed to
any locality OF 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 confding it in those worthiest
and fttest to WELD it. To this benefeent
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
| 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 Repub-
| lieans are hencefortli to be regarded as prac-
tically accepted by the whole country The
right of every man to his own limbs and sim
ews-the equality OF all citizens before tho
| law-the inability of State to enslave 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 editice and pllsied be-
| the hand that shall seek to displace them
| Though not vet twenty years old. the Repub-
| lican 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
weak and the humble from violence and op-
| presson-to extend the boundaries and diff
/ fuse the blessings of CiyilizatiOn-to stimu-
late Ingenuity to the production of new in
yentiOns for eennomizing Labor and thus
charging Pfoducti0n-to draw nearer to
| each other the producers of Food and Fab
rics, of Grains and of Metals, and thus en-
| nance the gains of Industry by reducing tho
| cost of transportation and exchanges between
/ farmers and artisals-such is the inspiring
task to which the Nation now addresses itself,
i andby which it would tain contribute to the
| progress, enlightenment and happiness of our
race. To this great and good work, The Fri.
bune contributes its jealous persistent efforts.
Agriculture will continue to be more es-
pccially elucidated in its Weekly aud Semi
| Weekly editions, to which some of the ablest
and most successful tillers of the soil will
contribute. No farmer who sells $500 worth
of produce per anIlum can afford to do with
out our Market Reports, or others equally
lucid and comprehensive If he should real
nothing else but what relates to his own cali
ing and its rewards, we believe that no farm
er who can read ut all can afford to do with
out such u journal "a 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 Oh
our columns each year, as cur countrymen's
generous patronage enables us to do; and We
| are resolved that our issues of former years
shall be exceeded in varied excellence and
State help us to make our Journal better
and better, by sending in your subscriptions
and increasing your Clubs for the year Just
before u.s.
