terest the ever-changng phases of our tidings
from the Old World. The Tribuns, through
trusted correspondents stationed at all points IN
Europe where great movements are IN progress
or imminent, aims to present q complete and in
structive panorama of events on that continent,
and to mirror the prolonged struggle between
middle-age Feudalism and Ecciesasticism
the one hand and Nineteenth Century skepticiSm
and secularism on the other. Recognizing a
Divine Providence in all that proceeds and is, it
looks hopefully on the great conflicts as destined

strife, disaster, and seeming chaos, a fairer and
happier future for the toiling masses humankind
In our own country war upon corruption and
rascality in office has been inauguratcd in
City, whereby the government of our State has
been revoutiOnized through an initial triumph
of Reform which surprises the most sanguine
anticipations. 1t is morally certain that the
movement thus inaugurated cannot, in It's pro

party, but that its purifying influence is destined
to be felt in every part of the Union, rebuking

will devote its best energies, regardless of per-
sonal interests or party predictions, esteeming
the choice of honest and faithful men to Office
as of all New Departures the most essential and
suspicious.
The virtual surrender by the Democratic party
of its hostility to Equal Rights, regardless of

mental principles which have hitherto honorably
distinguished the Republicans are henceforth to
be regarded as practically accepted by the whole
country. The right of every man to his own
limbs and sinews-the equality of all citizens
before the law-the inability OF State to enslave
| any portion of its people-the duty of the Union
| to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoyment
of his liberty until he forfets it by crimc--such
are the broad and firm foundations of our Ma
tional edifce and palsied be the hand which
twenty years old, the Republican party has COM
pleted the noble fabric of Emancipation, and
may fairly invoke thereon the sternest Judgment
of Man and the benignant smile of God.
| Henceforth, the mission of our Republic is
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the weak
and humble from violence and oppression-to
extend the boundaries and diiluse the blessings
of Civilization--to stimulate Ingenuity to the
production OF new inventions for economising
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
enhance the gains of Industry by reducing the
| cost of transportation and exchanges between
| farmers and artisans-such as the inspiring task
| to which this Nation now addresses itself, and
by which it. would fain contribute to the progress,
enlightenment, and happiness of our race. To
this great and good work, The Tribune contrib
utes its Jealous, persistent efforts.
