THE
YORK TRIB UNE.
For 1872.

mentary and impotent, into one powerful
State, with Rome as its capital; the humili-
ating of France through series of crushing
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
of Prussia, into the triumphant and
powerful empire of Germany; and the arm
ing of Russia to reassert her preponderanee
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
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-
tinent, and to mirror the prolonged struggle
between middle-agcd Feudalism and Eeclesi-
asticism on the one hand and Nineteenth
Century skeptieism and secularism on the
other. Recognizing Divine Providence in
all that proceeds and is, it looks hopefully ON
the great conflict as destined like our own
recent convulsion) to evolve from strife, dis
aster, aud seeming chaos, a fairer and hap
pier future for the telling masses of mankind.
In our own country, a war upon corruption
and rascality in Office has been inaugurated
in our City, whereby the government of our
State has been revolutionized through an in
itial triumph of Reform which surpasses the
most sanguine anticipations. 1t is morally
certain that the movement thus inaugurated
cannot, in its progress, be eireumscribed to
any locality or any party, but that its puri-
flying 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 benefieent
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 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

parties may henceforth rise or fall, it is clear
that the fundamental principles which have
hitherto honorably distinguished the Repub-
icans are hencefortll to be regarded as prae-
tically accepted by the whole country. The
right of every man to his own limbs and sim
ews-the equality of all citizens before tho
law-the inability of II State to enslave 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 it by
crime-sueh are the broad and firm founda-
tions of our National ediiice and palsed he
the hand that shall seek to displace them!
Though not yet twenty years old, the Repub-
liean party has completed the noble fabric of
Emancipation, and may fairly invoke there
ON the sternest Judgment of Man and the be-
nignant smile of God.
Henceforth the mission of our Republic is
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect the
weak and the humble from violence and op-
