structve panorama of events on that continent, |
and to mirror the prolonged struggle between

Divine Providence in all that proceeds and is, it
looks hopefully on the great conflicts destined

strife, disaster. and seeming chaos, fairer and
happier future tor the toiling masses OF mankind.
| In our own country war upon corruption and
rascality in Office has been inaugurated in our
| City, whereby the government of cur State has
been revolutionized through an initial triumph
of Reform which surprises the most sangune
| anticipatlonS. 1t is morally certain that the
movement thus inaugurated cannot. in its pro-
gress, be circumscribed to any locality or any
party, bat thai its purifying influence is destined
| to be felt in every part of the Union, rebuking
| venaity, exposing robbery. wrestling power from

worthiest and ittest to WELD it. To this beneh-
cent and vitality needed Reform, The Tribune
| will devote its best energies regardless of per-
sonal Interests or party predictions. esteeming
| the choice of honest and faithful men to Office
as of all New Departures the most essential and
saspicious.
| The virtual surrender by the Democratic party
of its hostility to Equal Rights regardless of
Color, has Invested current politics of half
their by gone intensity. However parties may
bencetorth rise or fall it is clear hat the funda-
mental principles which have hitherto honorably
distinguished 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-tne inability OF State to ensave
any portion of its people-the duty Of the Union
to guarantee to every citizen the full enjoyment
of his liberty until he forfets it by crme-such
are the broad and firm foundations of our Ma
tional edifice; and pslsied be the hand which
shall seek to dsplace them! Though not yet
twenty years old, the Republican party has com.
pleted the noble fabric of Emancipation, and
may fairly invoke thereon the sternesy Judgment
of Man and the benlgnant smile of God.
HencetOrth the mission of our Republic is
one of Peaceful Progress. TO protect the weak
and humble from violence and oppression-to
extend the boundaries and dffuse the blessings
| of Ciyization-to stimulate Ingenuity to the
production OF new inventions for ect nomsing
Labor aud thus enlarging Production-to draw
nearer to each other The producers of Food aud
of Fabrics, OF Grains and of Metals, and thus
enhance the gains of Industry by reducing the
cost of transportation and exchanges between
farmers and artisans-such as the inspiring task
| to which this Nation now addresses itself, and
by whcn It would fam contribute to the progress,
| enlightenment, and happiness Of our race. To
this great and good work, The Tribune contrib
utes its seaious, persistent efforts.
Agriculture will contnae to be more especially
elucidated in its Weekly and Semi Weekly edi,
| tons: to which some of the abest and most
successful tiilers of the soil will steadily con-
tribute. No farmer who sells $500 worth OF
produce per annum afford to do without our
| Market Reports, or others equally lucid aud
comprehensive If he should read nothing else
| but what relates to his calling and its
| rewards, we believe that no farmer who can
read at all afford to do without such Jour
nal as The Tribune. And We aspire to make it
equally valuable to those engaged in other de.
partments of Productive Labor. We spend
more and more money our columns each
year, our countrymen's generous patronage
enables us to do; and we are resolved that our
issues of former years shall he exceeded in
varied excellence and interest by those OF 1872
