designs on the great city. founded BY Con-
stantine and the vast but decaying and an
archial dominion Of the Sultan, al combine
to invest with profound interest the ever
changing phases Of our tiiings from the Old
World. The Tribune. through trusted cor
respondents stationed at all polnfa 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 midd1e-aged Fcudalism and Eccleai-
asticism on the ono hand md Ninetecnth-
Century skepticism and secularism On tho
other. Recognizing Divine Providence in
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully on

In our own country, a war upon corruption
and rascality in Office has been inaugaratcd
in our City, whereby the government Of our
State has been revolutionized through an IN
itial triumph Of Reform which surpasses tho
most sang,lne anticipations. It is morally
certain that The movement thus mauguratcd
cannot, in its progress, be circ,lmscribcd to
any locality or any party, but tlat its puri
flying influence is destined to be felt ia evefy
part of the Union, rebuking veqality, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, and confding it in those worthicst
and fttest to WELD it. To this benefcent
and vitality needed Reform, The Tri6nzeN viii
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 tho Democratic
party Of its hostility to Equal Rights regard
less Of Color has Invested our current poll
ties of half their bygone intensity. Ho%orer
parties may henccforth rise or fall, it is clear
that the fundamental principles which have
hitherto honorably distinguished the Rcpub-
licans are henceforth to be regarded a. prac-
tically accepted by the whole country. The
right of every man to his own limbs and ain
ews-the equality OF all citizens before tho
law-the inability of a State to enslave any
portion OF its people-the duty OF the Union
to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy i
ment OF his liberty until he forfeits it by
crinle-such are the broad and firm fos,nd;1-
tons OF onr National edifce and palsicsl be
the hand that shall seek to displace them s
l Though not yet twenty Years old, the Rapui,-
llcan party has completed the noble fabric ct
and may fairly invoke there
nignant smile Of God.

Agriculture will continue to be more es-
2ecially clucilated in its Weekly and Semi
Weekly editions, to which some Of the aI,leat
IND most successful tillers of the soil viii
contribute. No farmer who sells $500 worth
u produce per annum can.afford to do with
