THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE,

minated without excitement Whoever cherishes
such an illusion mistakes the character of the Amer
lean People and the impulses which sway them
Equally idle is the Imagination that Party lines are
to be efiaced and broken down in this contest-that
the prestige of some heroic achievement the gilt
ter Of an epaulette is to chase from the popular
mind all memory of the radical differences OF sem
timent which have SO often arrayed one-half our
eountymen in fierce conflict with the other. Idle
chimeras these! offspring Of an empty heart or
sickly brain! With the progress of events par
ticuar measure may become more OF less important,
the emphatic assertion Of a certain principle more
or less essential but the question Of questions
mains and will remain. Atone time, the establish
ment or maintenance of a Sound and Uniform Cur
rency; at another the upbuilding and chershing Of
new or feeble branches of Home Industry; at an
oher the proper disposition of the Proceeds Of the
Public Lands; at fourth, Peace or War, Spolia-
ton or Justice; but underneath all these, mightier
than any, more enduring than all, lives ever the ell
ementa difference in which parties have their orr
gin-on one side the idea that Government should
be CREATIVE, Constructive, BENEFICENT; on the
other, the negative skeptcal, do-nothing element,
whose axioms are "The best Government is that
which governs least" "The People are inclined to
expect too much from Government" &c.,-which
sees in a Canal, Railroad Harbor, Protective
Il
at the expense of the community, and which cannot
conceive how any can be benefited by public work
without inhicting injury in at least equal measure
upon others. The fundamental axioms of this neg
alive philosophy are really hostile to Common
Roads and Common Schools required and sustained
bv Law, us well as to those elements of National
well-being against which it now directs the ener-
gies of a great party. The antagonism of sent-
ment growing out of these conflicting views of the
nature and true ends of Government cannot, in the
nature of things be lastingly compromised it can
not be terminated by the result of any one election
1t must be potentially felt in the party contests and
popular agitations OF many years to come.
On this and all the great questions growing out
of it, TIE TRIBUNE maintains emphatically the doc
trines of the Wing Party. 1t advocates Protection
to Home Industry, wherever such Protection may
be needed and to the extent of the necessity; a
National Currency, sound and of uniform value,
composed Of Coin and Paper in such proportions as
public interest and general convenience shall die
tate; Internal Improvement, by the General and
State Governments, each in its own sphere, and by
Associations, liberally melted thereto by such fa-
cilities as Legislation may safely and Justly afford
and such disposition of the Public Land Proceeds as
shall secure the benefit thereof to the People of oil
the States throughout all future time. Above all,
this paper will study the things that make for Peace
and strenuously oppose the fell spirit of War, the
lust Of Conquest aud the passion for Military Glory,
50 mortaly adverse to all the ideas of Social and
Political Economy to which it is devoted, as Il mill
dew to genuine Democracy, as utterly at variance
with Christianity aud as scandal to the Nineteenth
Century. These views will be faithfully and fear
essly commended to public favor; while our oppo-
sition to the Extension of Human Slavery over one
foot of soil where it has not now legal existence
shall be unsparing, uncompromisng and subject to
no consideration of Party advantage or Presiden-
tal triumph Far sooner will we sink with our prn-
ciples than succeed without them, however dcsra-
Bile success or however notifying defeat.
The TRIBUNE will endeavor to commend itself to
all classes of readers by the lullness of its ineli-
gence as well as the fairness of its discussions
With this intent one Assistant Editor will remain
at Washington during the Session of Congress,
giving daily reports of sayings and doings in the
Houses and elsewhere; two European Corespon-
dents will transmit us regular dispatches from the
Old World; while no expense will be grudged in
procuring the earliest and most reliable inform alton
from all parts of the world. Reviews of New Books
of decided interest and selections from the Popular
Literature of America and Europe will be frequent
ly given, with occasional reports of Public Lee
lures of high character; but it shall be our first OBJ
jeCt to present fair and full picture of the REAL
world, only varied at intervals by excursions into
the realm Of the ideal.
THE New York TRIBUNE is issued Daily "a Nor
ming and two Evening Editions in order to serve
each subscriber with the latest news possible) ON
fair imperial sheet at (, i've Dollars per annnm, or

When the term paid for expires, the paper is uni
ormly stopped, 50 that no man need hesitate to take
il from an apprehension that he will be prosecuted
by duns or unable to get rid of the paper when IT,
red of it. This rule has given offence to few pa
irons of the non-payng order but the great major
ity seem TO like It better than the old fashion.
1t is not our custom to appoint Local Agents to
solicit sub scrptions, nor to place great reliance on
Agents at all. But any person who is well enough
known to be trusted by his neighbors may aid US il
he will and help himself if he chooses, by taking
this Prospectus and asking those who like the Tr
bune to hand him the money for a year, which he
can remit at Club price and thus obtain pay for his
time and trouble. Subscriptions accompanied by
payments are respectfully solicited by
