ton of her proud and gay metropolis ; the
expulsion of the Beurbons from the Spanish
throne, and the substitution for them of
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 tho
headship of Prussia, into the triumphant and
powerful empire of Germany and the arm
ing of Russia to reassert her prgponderaneo
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
arehial 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
instructive panorama of events ON that con-
tinent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle,aged Feudalism and Eeclesi-
asticism on the one hand and Nineteenth
Century sleptieisln and secularisni on the
other. Recognizing D;yine Providence III
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully ON
the great conflict as destined like our own
recent convulsionl 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 rascality in Office has been inauglIrated
in our City, whereby the government of our
State has been revolutionized through an in
itial triumph of Reform which surpasses this
most sanguine anticipations. 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus inaugnrated
cannot, in its progress, be cireumscribed to
any locality or any party, but that its puri-
Tying influence is destined to be felt in every
part of the Union, rebuking venality, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, and confding it in those worthiest
and fittest to WELD it. To this beneficent
and yitally needed Reform, The Ifibu,ae 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-
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
tics 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 he1ieeforth to be regarded as prac-
tieally accepted by the whole country. The
right of every man TO his own limbs and SIN
ews-the equality of all citizens before tho
law-the inability of State to enslaye any
portion of its people-the duty of the Unions
to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy
ment of his liberty until he f0rteits it by
erinle-such are the broad and firm folrnda-
tons of our National edifce and palsipd be
the hand that shall seek to displace them!
Though not yet twenty years old. the Ropub-
hcan party has completed the noble fabric of
Emancipation, and may fairly invoke there-
on the stefnest Judgment of Man and the be-
nignant smile of God
Hencefortn the mission of our Republic is
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the
weak and the humble from violence and OPP
pression-tO extend the boundaries aud diff
fuse the blessings of Civilization--to stinu-
late Ingenuity TO the production of new in
yentionS for ec0nomizng Labor and thus
enlarging Prodnction--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-stfch is the inspiring
task to which the Nation now addresses itself,
| and by which it would fam contribute to the
progress enlightenment and happiness of our
race. To this great and good work. Tire iTri-
bn9te contributes its Jealous, persistent efforts.
Agriculture will continue TO be more ee-
pecially elucidated in its Weekly and Semi
| Weekly editions, to which SEINE of the atlleat
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 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 n journal as The Tribune And We
aspire to make it equally valuable to those
engaged i'll other departments of Productive
Labor. We spend more and more money ON
our columns each year, as our eountrymen'B
generous patronage enablessus to do; and We
are resolved that our issues OF former years
shall be exceeded in varied excellence aud
/ interest by those of 1872. Friends In every
State help us to make our journal better
and better. by sending IN your subscriptions
