THE
NEW YORK TRIB UNE.
Tor. 1872

State. with Rome as its capital the hum;l-
ating of France through series of crushing
defeats, ending with the siege and capitula
ton of her proud and gay metropolis; the
expulsion of the Bourbons 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 relinquished
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 complete and
instructive panorama of events on that con-
tineBt, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-nged Feudalism and EccIesi-
astieism 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 (lle our own
recent convulsion) to evolve from Strife dis
| aster, aud seeming chaos, a fairer and hap
| u,
| In our own country, n war upon corruption
and rascality in Office has been inaugurated
/ i'll our City, whereby the government OF our
State has been revolutionized through an in
itial triumph of Reform which surpasses the
most sanguinc anticipations. 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus inaugurated
cannot, i'll its progress, be e;rcumseribed te
any locality or any party, but that its puri-
| flying influence is destined TO be felt in every
| part of the Union, frcbuking venality, expos
| ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
bystrade, and conliding it in those wortlliest
and fittest TO WELD it. To this beneticent
and vitally needed Reform, The Tribune will
devote its best energies, regardless of per-
soIlal 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 Democrats
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 hencefolfh rise or fall, it is clear
u
that the fundamental 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.
ews-the equality of all citizens before the
law-the inability of u State to enslave any
| portion of its pcOple-the duty of the Union
to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy
ment of his liberty until he fOrfeits it by
erinle-such are the broad and firm fortda-
| lions of our National editice and palscd be-
| the hand that shall seek to displlce themi
| Though not yet twenty years old, the Repub-
i liean party has completed the noble fabric OF
Emancipation, and may fairly invoke there
on the steruest Judgment of Man and the be-
nignant smile of God.
Henceforth the mission of our Republic il
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the
weak and the humble from violence and OPP
pression--to extend the boundaries and DIFF
fuse the blessings of Civilization-to stimn-
late Ingenuity to the production of new III
i ventions for ceonomizing Labor and thus
charging PrOduction-to draw nearer 10
each other the producers of Food and Fab
rics, of Grains and of Metals and thus en-
nance the gains of Industry by reducing the
cost of transportation and xchanges between
farmers and artisans-suclI is the inspiring
task to which the Nation now addresses itself,
andby which 1t would tain contribute to the
progress, enlightenment and happiness Of our
race. 70 this great and good work, The Iri
bH73c 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 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 ollr 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-
or who can read at all can afford to do with
out snch IA Journal as The Tribune. And we
aspire to make it equally valuable TO those
engaged i'll other departments of Productive
Labor. WesspeRa more and more money oi
our columns each year. as cur eountrymeG' s
generous patronage enables us to do AMI We
are resolved that our issues of former wears
shall be exceeded in varied exceIlcnce anal
interest by those of 1872. Friends in every
State help lis to make our journal better
and better, by sending in your subscriptions
and increasing your Clubs for the year just
before u.s.
