TIL E. WEEKLY TRIBUNE.

"Have you surrendered % was the inquiry of
the commander of the Scraps, as the Bon
Homme Richard' desisted from firing to repair
damages and extinguish the flames that had
been rapidly gaining the mastery Of his vessel.
Surrendered % answered Paul Jones, zoe haze
not get begun to fight" In that same spirit
the great Wing party of the Union, victorious on
some points and thrown back a others, uncon-
querable by force, but not impregnable to treach-
cry, having passed through the elections of 1913,
now commences the organization of its forces,
the mastering of its battalions, and the system
attic diffusion of intelligence preparatory to the
great contest Of 1914. Once fully organized,
they will advance to certain, glorious, and benif-
cent victory. tlE. M
The publishers Of the New York Tribune, hav-
ing been urged from several quarters to issue a
cheaper paper, devoted to the important work of
diffusing to every dwelling correct and convincing
information with regard to the character, princi-
pies, objects, and measures of the two great par
ties, have hesitated to issue smaller sheet de-
voted specially TO this purpose, since it would
subject It's patrons to the same. postage that is
charged on our present ample sheet, and must
necessarily exclude those portions of the liera-
ture, general news Of the day, and accurate and
extensive reports of the transactions in the mo-
ney and produce markets, which the Tribune
has the amplest means Of presenting, and which
every family should in some form possess. They
have concluded, therefore, to publish an extra
edition of the Weekly Tribune as it is, contain
ing the same matter that is transmitted to our
regular subscribers. This extra edition will be
commenced with the number of December 8,
containing the Presidents Message at the open
ing OF the new Congress, and continuing to the
number which in November, 1874 shall an.
nounce the result of the Presidential election,
'(being fifty weeks or numbers.) OF this extra
edition we will send through the whole term
TWENTY COPIES to one address for TWENTY DOL
LARS.
Where the papers are required to be sent to
different post Offices, or where the name of the
subscribers is required to be written on each, we
must insist on our uniform price two dollars
Tor single copy per year; ten copies or more
al the rate Of one dollar and half each. Do
not ask us to swerve from this rule friends for
the thing is impossible
The character Of the Tribune is by this time
generally known. II aims to reconcile the lar
gest freedom of thought and action with pro-
found reverence for law and obedience to right
full authorty-to be the stern foe of all discord,
anarchy, and turbulence, but the champion of
every generous idea, however novel or unpopu-
lar, which has for its end the uprasing Of the
depressed and the lowly. While it proffers no
claim to the abused name OF Democracy, SO long
the cloak Of national pharisees, the cant Of de-
signing demagogues, it will be, as it has been, in
the legitimate sense of the word, truly Demo-
cratic--the adversary Of every wrong, the ex-
poser of hollow profession and scheming knave-
ry, and the advocate Of every movement tending
to the diffusion of true freedom and the upward
progress Of the human race.
The Weekly Tribune is published in this city
every Saturday morning, but despatched by THE
mails on Thursday and Friday. II is of the lar
gest size, folded in eight pages: SO as TO be about
the average size of two common newspapers.
Subscriptions are respectfully solicited.
