THE
NEW YORK TRIB UNE.
For 1872.

nnentary and iTnpotent, into one powerful
State, with Rome as its capital; the humiI
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 B0urbOns from the Spanish
throne, and the substitution for them of a
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, or to prosecute
her often postponed but never reIinquished
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
tinent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-aged Feudalism aud Eeclesi-
asticism on the one hand and Nineteenth
Century skepticism and secularism on the
other. Recognizing Divine Providence in
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on
the great conflict as destined Qike cur own
recent eonvulsion) to evolve from strife, dis
aster, aud seeming chaos, fairer and hap
pier future for the toiling Of mankind.
In our own country, q war upon corruption
and rascality in Office has been inaugurated
in our City, whereby the government of our
State has been rcy0lutionized through an In
itial triumph of Reform which surpasses the
most sanguine anticipations. 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus inaugurated
cannot, in its progress, be circumseribed to
any locality or any party, but that its puri-
| flying influence is destined to he felt in every
part of the Union, trebulking vtsnality, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
| by trade, and confiding it in those worthiest
and fittest TO WELD it. 70 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-
sential and auspicious
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 hencoforth rise or fall, it is clear
that the fundamentally principles which have
hitherto honorably distinguished the Repub-
licans are henceforth to be regarded as prac-
tically accepted by the whole country. The
right of every man to his own limbs and sin.

! law-the inability of II State to enslave any
| portion of its pe0ple-the duty of the Union

| tl0ns OF our National edifice and palsietl be-
the hand that shall seek to displace them!
| Though not yet twenty years old. the Rspub

Emancipation, and may fairly invoke there
on the sternest Judgment of Man and the be-
nignant smile of God.

one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the
weak and the humble from violence and OPP

fuse the blessings of Ciyilization--to stimn-
| late Ingenuity to the production of new In
ventions for eeonoinizing Labor and thus
charging Producton--to draw nearer to
each other the producers of Food and Fab
ries, of Grains and of Metals, and thus en-
nance the gains of Industry by reducing tho
cost of transportation and Exchanges between
farmers and artisans-such is the inspiring
| task to which the Nation now addresses itself
andby which it would fain contribute to the
/ progress, enlightenment and happiness of our
race. 70 this great and good work, The Tff-
bane contributes its Jealous, persistent efforts.
Agriculture will continue to be more es-
pecially elucidated in its Weekly and Semi
i 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 he should road
nothing else but what relates to his own call
4 ing and its rewards, we believe that no farm
er who can read at all can afford to do with
out such 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 eeuntfyInen' s
generous patronage enables US to do and We
arc resolved that our issues of former years
shall be exceeded in varied excellence and
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!
