New-York daily tribune., 1845-05-29
The Old and The New.


The NEw.YoRx TRIBUNE is issued this morning
on entirely newtype from the new and spacious build
ing erected on the ruins Of that entirely destroyed
by fire on the 5ih Of February last .; the grcas
mass of materials and stock OF our own publica
tions which we had accumulated through preceding
years nothing survives but most OF our Once BOOKS
and the skeletons OF our Presses. We have sincc
done what we could in temporary location wh'ie
the erection of our new building was in rapid pro-
gress; and, though somewhat disappointed In regard
u the time required TO complete and furnish then we
are at last fully at home in our new-oid quarters
The Tribune Buildings now embrace IN addition
TO all that was included in the former the corner on
Sprucc street wherein The Sun attained Its gro"'o
and maturity, since occupied by The True ouh'
The plebeian and last before the frc az gfos-
shop The whole cdGce isnow carried up 10 UNIFORM
hight of five stories above the basement Inc h io'
ing one spacious, airy and admirably hgt'ed Ooii'
posing Room of The Tribune, having al ample SKY
I;obt and windows studding both ends and one SIDE.
The basement forms our Press Room, one OF the best
in America wherein our new and greatly improved
Double Cylinder Power Presses, propelled by cap
ital new Steam Engine are just beginning to roll out
the papers In vault under the Spruce street from
are our Furnace and Boiler with Heating Apparatus
Ighcrcwith we expect to warm every room IN 'he
building and thus avert 30 far as possible the dah
ger of another FIRE Our loss by the late con1agra'
ton especially in patiently gathered materials winch
could not be insured and which not even the active
kindness of our many generous friends can replace
has been 40 serious that we mean be as secure as
mako against rcCur
renee of that calamity Under the Nassau street
front are our Folding and Mailing rooms and our
firc.proof Vault for Stereotype Plates &c
The Publication and Business Office of The Tri'
bune occupies that portion OF the ground tioor
fronting ON Spruce-street as well as Nassau
where we shall be at all times happy to wei
come our friends, and to answer promptly aH
orders for our Daily, semi-Weckly or Weekly
issues our forthcoming Farmers Library, or our
cheap series of Useful Books. To these, with such
standard Agricultural Works rs may first appear in
our Farmers Library, VIC intend TO continc our
operations Those who wish to inspect wider and
more comprehensive assortment OF the Cheap Liter
ature of the day will find il next door in the rcposl-
tory of Mr. VIM H Graham, while next to tiiat
is the extensive Law Book, Blank, and Stationery
store of Messrs .anscn " Bell, all under the one
roof and the latter covering the ground occupied by
our office and the store of MIR Graham prior TO the
fire.
The Editorial details Of The Tribune will be per
formed in three small Offices in the fifth story, and
there all who have business requiring personal
interview with the conductors respectively oi the
departments of Commercial Intelligence, City News
General News OF the Day. and Ship News, will

lively of The Tribune and The Farmers Library

story. We trust, however, that those who have
merely business 10 transact will apply 10 the pub
Usher in tho business office, where they will find
every disposition and facility to obligc them.
Enough of the Present: And now few words
Of the Past and the Future.
The DAILY TRIBUNE was first issued on the day
OF the Funeral procession in our city in honor OF
Gen. Harrison-Apri 10th, ls4l, and Is now OF
course little more than four years old II com
menced with scarcely Five Hundred subscribers;
its circulation for some time past has averaged more
than Ten Thousand. Although not now quite 10
large rs it was during the excitement OF the Presi
dental contcst--not 10 great as 1t would now be II
that contest had been decided by legal votes alone
not 30 great as it will again be when Honesty and
Benefcent Policy shall be triumphant in the result
of Presidential contest as they were in the discus
sions preceding the astyct it is ample and crafty
ing. Our Advertising has been steadily Increasing
from the outset and is now abundant and remuner-
nting. And, since We have enjoyed little indeed OF
the sunshine of Official Patronage, we have herein
for IN IN H1rnug md
contentment with our fortune.
This paper was commenced by its present Editor
Mt the urgent solicitation of some personal friends
who were also friends OF the Wing Cause; but its
obligations to them were never pecuniary, to the
amount of one dollar The Editor still owes debt
Of gratitude to friend for loan OF 1000 in the
outset Of his doubtful enterprise but he has repaid
the money. This is all the pecuniary aid he ever
obtained or asked; and, since the business of the
establishment passed under the control OF the pre-
sent publisher aud joint proprietor ii has at no time
needed means beyond its own legitimate resources
OF the Whig party it has never asked nor re-
ceiycd any thing but payment for advertisements
inserted rs such in its columns, and II de-
clined a participation in the Job Printing OF
the City when the Wings had it to give. So much
we feel impelled 10 say, once for all, in answer TO
the obique, inccssant denacton of that portion OF
tho Loco.Foco Press which wears treacherous
sarb of neutrality and vaunts itself Independent,
while assailing and decrying every Principle and
Measure dear to the Wings and detamng the OPP
posers of the current LocoFoco projects of rapaci!y
and buichery as the British party, blue'lieh;s,
&C. &c To the few cnvious calumniaiors who
hang on the skirts of the Wing party the more
effectively to injurc it, and who see hit to talk OF
The Tribune us the organ OF clique or of office
seekers VIC oppose the whole course and history OF
our lfe The Editor OF The Tribune was so con-
nec,ed with the struggle OF 1888 which brought the
Wings into power in our State, tha, he might then
have asked office without presumption and without
fear. Again in the National struggle OF 1870 his
efforts, through The Log Cabin, were widely known
If faithful service or pecunary need give claim TO
Office he might have fairly preferred such claim IN
either instances he did not, because his tastes were
averse to Executive service as the employment OF
his time and his pride revoltcd at II as means OF
amending his fortunes And yet he has since been
