THE
NEW YORK TRIBUN E,
For 1872.


State, with Rome as its capital the hunili-
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 BSdrbons 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
Saxonys Wurtemburg, Bavaria, with Baden,
Hesse, the Hanse Towns, etc., under the
of Prussia, into the triumphant and
ing of Russia 60 reassert her preponderanee
in the Councils IF Europe, or to prosecute
her often postponed but never relinquished
designs ON the great city founded by Con-
and the vast cut decaying and an
archial dominion of the Sultan, all combine
to invest with profound interest the ever
changing phases of our tidirgs from the Old
World. The IfibaiQ.e. through trusted cor
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 Feuda1sm and Ecclesi-
asticisa on the one hand and Nineteenth
other. Recognizing Divine Providence in
all that proceeds and is, it locks hopefully on
the great conflict as destined like our own
recent eonvulsion) to evolve froR strife, dis
aster, aud seeming chaos, fiairer and hap
pier future for the toilng masses of mankind
In our own country, n war upon corruption
and rascality in office has been inaugurat2d
in our City, whereby the government of on.
State has been revolutionized through an in
itial triumph of Reform which surpasses the
most sanguine antieipations. 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus iraugurated
cannot, in its progress, be cireumscribed to
any locality or any party, but that It's puri
flying influence is destined to be felt in every
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, ind confiding it Id those worthiest
and fittest to WELD it. To this benefcent
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 Puost ess
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
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-
licans are hencefortll to be regarded us 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 the
law-the inability of a State to enslave any
portion of its pe0ple-the duty of the Union
to guarantee 10 every citizen the full enjoy
ment of his liberty until he forfeits it by
are the broad and firm founda-
tons of our National edifice and palsied be
the hand that shall seek to displace them!
Though not yet twenty Years old the Repub-
lican party has completed the noble fabric OF
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
W
pression-to extend the boundaries and diff
fuse the blessings of Civilization-to stfmIl-
late Ingenuity to the production eff new in
yentions for economiZing Labor and TINS
charging Production-to draw nearer to
each other the producers. of Food and Fab
RIGS, of Grains and OF Metals and thus en-
nance the gains of Industry by reducing the
cost of transportation and exchanges between
farmers and artisa1s-such is the inspiring
task to which the Nation now addresses itself,
andhy which it would fain contribute to the
progress, enlightenment and,happiness of our
race. To this great and goo1 work, The TIri-
bttIte contributes It's jealous, persistent efforts.
Agriculture will continue to be more es-
pecially elucidated in its Weekly and 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 annum can afford to do with
out our Market Reports, or others equally
lucid and comprehensive. If lie should read
nothing else but what relates to his own call
ing and its rewards, we believe that he farm
or who can read at all can afford to do with
ont such Il journal as The Tribune. And we
aspire to make it equally valuable to those
engaged III other departments of Productive
Labor. We spend more and more money OH
our columns each year, as our countrymen's
generous patronage enables us to do and We
are resolved that oIlr issues of former Years
shall be exceeded in varied excellence anil
interest by those of 1872. Friends in every
State help us to make our journal better
and better, by sending in your subscriptions
and increasing your Clubs for the year Just
