TRIBUNE, through trusted correspondents
stationed at all points in Europe where
great movements are in progress or emmi
nent, aims to present a complete and in
7structive panorama of events in the scoh-
tInent, and to mirror the prolonged strug

In our own country. a war upon cor
ruption and rascality in Office has been
i~naugursted in our City, whereby the gov
eminent of our State has been revelation
lied through an initial triumph Of Reform
which surpasses the most %sanguine antici-
pations. 1t is morally certain that the
movement thus ~inaugurated cannot, lii Its
progress, be circumscribed to any locality
or any party, but that its purifying in
fuence is destined to be felt in every
part of the Union, rebuking venality, ex-
posing robbery, wrestling power from poll
ticians by trade, and conGding it in those
worthiest and fttest to WELD. it. To this
bene6cent and vitality needed Reform,
THE TRIBUNE will devote its best ener-
gies, regardless of personal interests Or
party predictions, esteeming the choice
Of honest and faithful men to office as of
all New Departures the most essential
and suspicious.
The virtual surrender by the Democrat
ic party of its hostility to Equal Rights
regardless of Color has Invested our cur
rent politics of half their bygone intensity.
However parties may heneesorth rise or
fall, it is clear that the fundamental prin-
ciples which have hitherto hOnorably dis
tinguished the Republicans are henceforth
to be regarded as practically accepted by
the whole country. The right of every
man to his own limbs and sinews-the
equality of all citizens before the law
the inability of a State to enslave any
portioneof its peOple-the duty of the
Union to guarantee to every citizen the
full enjoyment of his liberty until he for
feits it by crime-such are the broad and
firm foundations of our National edifice;
and palsied be the hand which shall seek
80 displace them Though not yet TWEEN
ty years old, the Republican party has
completed the noble fabric of Enlancipa-
tion, and may fairly Invoke thereon the
sternest judgment of Man and the benig-
nant smile of God.
nHenceforth, the mission of our Repub-
lie is one of Peaceful Progress. To pro-
tect the weak and the humble from VIC
lence and oppression-to extend the boun-
daries and diffuse the blessings of Civiliza-
tisn-to stimulate Ingenuity to the pro-
J,.o+.o, &c ro-r Invention. Co.. N
Labor and thus enlarging Production-to
draw nearer to each other the producer of
Food and of Fabrics, of Grains and of
Metals, and thus enhance the gains of In
austry by reducing the cost of ~transporta-
ton and exchanges between farmers and
artiscns-such il the inspiring task to
which this Nation now addresses itself,
and by which it would fain contribute to
the progress, enlightenment, and happi-
ness of our race. To this great and good
work, THE TRIBUNE contributes its zeal
Gus, persistent efforts.
Agriculture will continue to be more
especially elucidated in its Weekly and
and Semi Weekly editions, to which some
of the ablest and most successful tillers of
the soil will steadily contribute. No
farmer who sells $500 worth of produce
per annum can afford to do without our
Market Reports. or others equally lucid
and comprehensive. If he should read
nothing else but what relates to his own
calling and its rewards, we believe that nc
farmer Nho can read at all can afford to
do without such u Journal as the TRIBUNE.
And VIC aspire to make it equally yalua-
Bile to those engaged in other departments
of Productive Labor. We spend more
and more money on our columns each
year, as our countrymen's generous pat
ronage enables us to do and VIZ are re-
solved that our next issues of former
years Shall be exceeded in varied excel
lence and interest by those of 1S72.-
