New York Weekly Tribune
PROSPECTUS.

The Publishers of THE New York TRIBUNE
encouraged by the generous patronage and hearty
approval which has been extended to their Daily
paper since its establishment, and which has al
ready rendered it the second in point of circulation
in the city, will publish, on and after Saturday
next, WEEKLY edition, on a sheet of mammoth
size, excluding all matter of local or transitory
interest, and calculated mainly for country crcua-
ton.
THE characterization in its Daily or Weekly
edtion-will be what its name imports-an un-
finching supporter of the Peoples Rights and
Interests, in stern hostility to the errors Of super
hcial theorists, the influences of UNI ust or mper-
feet legislation, and the schemes and sophistres
of self-seeking demagogues. 1t will strenuously
advocate the Protection of American Industry
against the grasping and to US blighting policy
OF European Governments, and the unequal com
petition which they force upon us, as also against
the present depressing system of State Prison La
Dor; 1t will advocate the restoration of sound
and uniform NATIONAL CURRENCY; and urge dis
Greet but determined prosecution of Internal In
provement. The Retrenchment, wherever pract-
cable, of Government Expenditures and of Exec
utive Patronage will be zealousy urged. In short,
this paper will faithfully maintain and earnestly
advocate the Principles and Measures which the
People approved in devolving on Wing Statesmen
the conduct of their Government.
But a small portion, however, of its columns
will be devoted to purely Political discussions.
The proceedings of Congress will be carefully re-
corded; the Foreign and Domestic Intelligence ear
y and ucldly presented; and whatever shall appear
calculated to promote Morality, maintain Social
Order, extend the blessings of Education, or in
any way subserve the great cause of Human Pro.
gress to ultimate Virtue, Liberty and Happiness
will find place in our columns.
The WEEKLY TRIBUNE will be published every
Saturday morning in Quarto form on very large
imperial sheet, (3l by AZ inches) and afforded to
Subscribers at TWO DOLLARS year. Six cop
les will be forwarded year for Ten Dollars
Ten copies for Fifteen Dollars, and any argel
number in the latter proportion. Payment in ad
vance will be invariably required, and the paper
stopped whenever the term of such payment ex
pires. Subscriptions are solicited by
