THE u
NEW RK TRIB UNE,
For 1872.

,nentary and impotents INTO soAA, powerful
state With Rome a. its capital; the hum1,-
at;nu Of France throug a series Of crushing
defeats, ending with the siege and capitulla-
ton of her proud and gay metropolis; the.
expulsion Of the Bourbons from the spanish
throne. and tho substitution for them OF =
scion Of the most liberal among regal houses
the virtual absorption Of the kingdoms OF
Saxony. Wurtemburg. Bavaria, with Baden,
Hesse. the Hanse.s Towns, etc, under the
beadship of Piussi;a, into the triumphant and
nywerful empire of Germany; and the arm
ing of Russia to reassert her preponderanee
in the Councils Of Europe, or to prosecute
her often postroned but never relinquished
designs on the great city founded by Con-
stantine and the vast but decaymg 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 ut all points in E,,-
rope where great movements arc III progress
or imminent, aims to present complete and
instructive panorama of events on that com
tinent. and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-aged Feudalism and Eeelesi-
,asticism ON the one hand and Nineteenth
Century skepticism and secularisin on tho
other Recognizing Divine Providence i'll
all that proceeds and ~. IT looks hopefully Oh
the great conflict as destined tlikc our own
recent convdlsion1 to evolve from strife, dis
aster, aud seeming chaos, fairer and hap
pier future for the toiling masses OF mankind
In our own country, a war upon corruption
and raseality in otiiceha been inaugurated
in our City, whereby the government of our
State has been revolutionized through an in
itial triumph of Reform which s,,rpasses tho
most sanguine anticipatiOns, 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus inaugurated
cannot in its progress. be circunlscribe'! to
any locality or any party, but that its ruri-
tying Influence il destined to be felt inaeyerys
part Of the Cnion, rebukms yenality, expos
ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
by trade, and confiding it in those wcrthiest
.,nd 1ittest to wiell it. To this benetieent
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 tn
office as of all New Departures the most
scntial and auspicious.
The virtual surrender by the Democratic
party Of it's hostility to Equal Rights regard
less of Color has divestel our current poll
ties Of half their bygone intensity. However,
parties may hencctorth rise or fall, it is clear
that the fundamental principles which have
hitherto llonorably distinguished the Repub
lcans are henceforth to be regarded as prae-
tically accepted by the whole country The
right of every man to his own limbs and sin-
ews-the quality OF all citizens before the
law-the inability of a State to ensli,ve any
portion Of its people--the duty Of the Union
to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy
s'lent OF his liberty until he t"rteits it by
crlme-sueh are the broad and firm fo,lnt;l-
tions OF our National editice; and palsicd DO
the hand that shall seek to displaec them
Though not yet twenty years old. the RepuL-
liean party has completed the noble f;ll,rie o.
Emancipation, and may fairly invoke therct
on the sternest Judgment Of Nun and the be. :
ngnant smile OF God. s.=.=4
HencefOrth the mission of orr Republic is
one OF Peaceful Progress. 10 protest tho
weak and the humble from violence and OPP
pression--to extend the boundaries and diff
fuse the blessings of Civilization-to stim,,-
late Ingenuity to the production Of new il,-
ventions for eeonomizing Labor and thus
charging Prodnction-to draw nearer to
each other the producers Of Food and Fab
RIGS, of Grains and of Metals, and thus Oil
nance the gains Of Industry by reducing the.
cost of transportation and xclanges between
farmers and artisans-such is the inspiring
task to which the Nation now addresses itself,
tNy-rr
progress, enlightenment and happiness of our
race. 10 this great and good work, The Fri
bnne contributes its Jealous. persistent efforts
Agriculture will continue to be more es-
Pecially elucidated in its Weekly and Semi
Weekly editions, to which some of the ablcst
and most successful tillers Of the soil will
contribute. No farmer who sells $500 worth
OF produce per annum can afford to do with
ont our Market Reports, or others equally
lucid and comprehensive. Ii he SHOULD read
nothing else but what relates to his own call
ing and its rewards, VIC believe that no farm
out such Il journal as The Tribune. And We
aspire to make it equally valuable to those
engaged III other departments of Productive
Labor. Wesspend more and more money on
our columns each year, as our eountrynens
generous patronage enables us to do; and We,
are resolved that our issues OF former years
shall be exceeded i'll 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
