The consolidation OF italy, SO long 1fssS-
lnentary and impotent, into one powerful
State, with Rome as its capital; the huniili-
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 Boilrbons 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 preponderancer
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 hut 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
OF imminent, aims to present complete and
tinent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-aged Feudalism and Ecclesi-
asticism on the one hand and Nineteenth
Century skepticism and secularism on the
other Recognizing Divine Providence in

In our own country, war upon corruption &,
and raseality in Office has been inaugurated
in our City, whereby the government of cur
State has been revoiutionized through an in+
itial triumph of Reform which SURPRISES the
most sanguine anticipations 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus inauguratcd
cannot, in its progress, be circumscribed to
| any locality or any party, but that its puri-
flying influence is destined TO be felt in every
part of the Union, ,rebukiag yenality, EXPOSE
| ing robbery, wrestling power from politicians
| by trade, and confiding it in those worthiest
and fittest to WELD it. To this benefcent
and vitality needed Reform, The Tribune win
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. 5,lis g..-,ss ss.ssf
! The virtual surrender by the Democratic
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 henceforth rise or fall it is clear
that the fundamental principles which have
hitherto honorably distinguished the Repub-
licans are heiiceforth to be regarded as prac-
/ tically accepted by the whole country. Tbs
right of every man to his own limbs and sin
ews--the equality of all citizens before the
i law-the inability of a State to enslaye any
| portion OF its people--the duty of the Union
to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoy
| ment of his liberty until he forfeits 1t by
erime-such are the broad and firm fOunda-
4 tions of our National edifice; and palsied be
the hand that shall seek to displace them
| Though not yet twenty years old. the K0pub-
/ liean party has completed the noble fabric OF
| Emancipation, and may fairly invoke there
! on the sterrest Judgment of Man and the be-
| nignant smile of God. ffa5fs
| HencefOrth the mission of our Republic is
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the
weak and the humble from yiOlence and OPP
l
/ fuse the blessings of CivilizatiOn--tO stimiI-
late Ingenuity to the production If new iii
yentiOns for ecOnomizing L&bnr ead thus
| enlarging Production--tO draw ncarer t0
each other the producers of Food and Fab
i rics, of Grains and of Metals, and thus OH
nance the gains of Industry by reducing the
cost of transportation and exchanges between
farmers and artisaIis--saeh is the inspiring
task to which the Nation now addresses itself,
andby which it would fain contribute to the
progress, enlightenment and happiness of cur
race. To this great and good work, The Ii.i-
bnne contributes its zealons, persistent efforts.
Agriculture will continue tO be mort es-
pecially eluedated in its Weekly and Semi
Weekly editions, to which some of the ablest
and most successful tiiiers of the soil will
contribute. No farmer who sells $500 worth
i of produce per annum can afford to do with
out our Market Reports, or others equally
i lucid and comprehensive. If he should reail
4 nothing else but what relates to his own CALI
ing and its rewards, we believe that no farm
er who can read at all can afford TO do with
out such d journal us The Tribune. And We
Z aspire TO make it equally valuable to these
ii engaged i'll other departments of Productive
Labor. We spend more and more money on
our columns each year, as our countrymen'S
generous patronage enables US to do; and we
are resolved that our issues of former years
i shall be exceeded in varied excelIenee anil
interest by those of 1872 Friends in every
/ State! help Ms to make our Journal better
