THE
NEW YORK TRIB UN E,
For 1872.


State, with Rome as its capital the humili-
ating of France through series of crushing
defeats. ending with the siege and eanitula-
ton of her proud and gay metropolis; the
expulsion of the Bourbons from the Spanish
throne, and the substitution for them of a
scion of the most hberalamong 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 aud
powerful empire of Germany and the arm
ing of Russia to reassert her preponderance
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 complete and
instructive panorama of events on that con-
! tinent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-aged Feudalism and Ecclesi-
asticism on the one hand and Nineteenth
Century skepticisn and secularism on the
other. Recognizing Divine Providence in
all that proceeds and is it looks hopefully on
! the great conflict destined like our own
recent convulsion) to evolve from STRIFE dis
aster, aud seeming chaos, fairer and hap
pier future for the toiling masses OF mankind.
| In our own country, war upon corruption'
and raseality 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 surpasses the
most sanguine anticipations 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus inaugurated1
cannot, in its progress, be circumscribed to
any locality or any party, but that its puri-
flying influence is destined to be felt in every
part of the Unions rebuking venality, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, and confiding it in those worthicst
and fittest to WELD il. 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-
sentiai 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 OF fall, il is clear
that the fundamental principles which have
hitherto honorably distinguished the Repub-
lieans are henceforth to be regarded as prac-
tieally accepted by the whole country. The
right of every man to his own limbs and sin.

Iaw-the inability of State to eRslave any
portion of its people-the duty OF the UiIiois
to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy

tions of our National edifiee; and palsiess hsi

nignant smile of God.
Henceforth the mission of our Republic is
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect tho.
weak and the humble from violence and or

cost of transportation and exchanges between

| Agriculture will continue to be more ca
pccially elucidated in it's Weekly and Semi
Weekly editions, to which some of the ablest
and most successful til1ers of the soil will
contribute. No farlner who selis $500 worth
of produce per annum can afford to do with
. out orr 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 farm
er who can read at all can afford to do with
out 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 or
our columns each year. as our comntrymens
generous patronage enables us to do; and we
are resolved that our issues of former years
shall be exceeded in varied excellence anti
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
before us!
