THE
NEW YORK TRIBUNE
For 1879.

| The consolidation of Italy, SO long fragment
airy and impotent into one powerful state, with
| Rome as its capital the humiliation OF France
through q series of crushing defeats, ending
| with the siege and capitulation of he's proud and
| gay metropolis tho expulsion of the Bourbons
| from the Spanish throne, and the. substitution
for them Of a scion of the most liberal among
the royal houses the virtual absorption of the
kingdoms of Ssxony, Wurtemberg, Bavaria,
with Baden, Hesse, the Hanse Towns, &C., I'M
der the hea lship of Prussia, into the triumphant
and powerful empire of Germany and the
arming of Russia to re-assert her preponderance
in the councils of Europe, or to prosecute her
often postponed but never relinquished designs
in the great city founded by Constantine and
the vast but decayng and anarchical dominion
of the Sultan, all combine to invest with pro-
found interest the ever.changing phases of our
tidings from the Old World. The Tribune,
through trusted correspondents stationed at all
points in Europe where great movements are in
progress or imminent, aims to present COM
plete and instructive panorama of events on that
continent, and 10 mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-aged Feudalism and Eeclesias-
ticism on the one hand and Nineteenth Century
skepticism and secularism on the other. Re-
cognizing Divine Providence in all that pro-
ceeds and is, it looks hopefully on the great
conflict as destined dixie our own recent con-
vulsion) to evolve. from strife, disaster and
seeming chaos, a fairer and happier 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 revolutionized through an initial tri-
umph of reform which surpssses the most san
guine 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 purifying influence is
destined TO be felt in every part of the Union,
rebuking venRlity, exposing robbery, wrestling
power from politicians by trade, and confding
It in those worthiest and fttest to WELD it. To
this benefcent and vitality needed reform, the
Tribune will devote its best energies, regardless
of personal interests or party predictions, es-
teeming the choice of honest and faithful men
to Office as of all New Departures the most es-
sential and suspicious.
Agriculture will continue to he more espe-
cially elucidated in its Weekly and Semi Week
ly editions, to which some of the ablest and most
successful tillers of the soil will steadily con-
tribute No farmer who sells $500 worth of
produce per annum can afford 10 do without our
market reports, or others equally lucid and
comprehensive. If he should read nothing else
but what relates to his own calling and its re-
wards, we believe that no farmer who can read
at all can afford to do without 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 coun-
| trymen's generous patronage enables US to do;
and we are resolved that our issues of former
years shall be exceeded in varied excellence and
interest by these of 1872. Friends in every
STATED help US to make our journal better and

The virtual surrender by the Democratic
party Of its hostility to equal rights regardless
Of color have Invested our current politics of
half their bygone intensity, However parties
may henceforth rise or fall it is clear tn at the
fundamental principles which have hitherto
honorably distinguished the Republicans are
henceforth to be regarded as practically accept
ed by the whole country. The right of every
| man to his own limbs and snews-the equality
Of all citizens before the law-the inability of a
! State TO enslave any portion of its people-the
the full enjoyment of his Thirty until he for
| feits it by crime-such are the broad and firm
| foundations Of our National edifce; and palsied
| Though not yet twenty years old, the Republi-
can party has completed the noble fabric of
Emancipation, and may fairly invoke thereon
the sternest judgment Of man and the benig-
| nant smile of God.
Henceforth, the mission of our Republic is one
| of peaceful progress. To protect the weak and
the humble from violence and oppresson--to
extend the boundaries and ditfuse the blessings
Of civilization-to stimulate ingenuity to the
production of new inventions for economizing
labor and thus enlarging production-to draw
nearer TO each other the producers Of food and
of fabrics, of grains and of metals, and thus en-
nance the gains of industry by reducing the cost
of transportation and exchanges between farm
ers and artisans-such is the inspiring task to
which this nation now addresses ITSELF and by
which it would fain contri bute to the progress,
enlightenment and happiness of our race. To
this great and good work, The Tribune contrib
utes its Jealous persistent efforts.
