THE New YoRK TRIBUNE. The Pr0ui-
de"ce IL. ~ Morning .AiIrOr says: We
think no candid person will fail to recognize
true likeness Of the leading American JourA.
al in the following from the Boston Bee.
- AT the head and front Of the Journals OF
New York, we at once. without reservation,
place The .Nea0 York Tribune. This may,
perhaps, be thought strong assertion, but we
sincerely think il true one. The Tribune is
paper that presents many sterling merits.
which no one OF the least disccl nment can fail
TO discover, nor Of the least candOr who will
but acknowledge. We are all we'll aware that
1t sometimes takes grounds and expresses opin-
ions not at OOce always endorsed by the great
bublic. For perhaps by it's own iriends-but
yet its history and the times has hitherto prov.
ed, for the most part. those grounds and those
opinions 10 be correct. 1t has shown that il
has remarkable judgement and sagacity. and
tnat, while its sentiments and doctrines may
sometimes. for the hour, appear as unsound
and visionary, they are only SO because In ad.
vance and slightly above the general opinion.
Among the chief characteristics of The Iris
bune are judgement, reliability, power, hones-
~, candor and great common sense.
The editorials VI The Tribune are marked
ny good sense. strength OF position, transpa.
rency, good temper. and az general fact, good
logic They are always read like the produc-
tions OF men Of experience, OF strong common
sense-and invariably are possessed { manly
tone. Politically, they are courteO 9, though
sometimes almost tea'fully severe and if an
opponent IS 10 be executed, it 10 done with as
much consideration and leniency as the occa.
sion and person will admit. Its political col
umns are characterized by the most signal abil.
iiy, and to day, probably carry more weight
and confidence throughout the country than
any other journal in AmeI ica."
THE New YoRK TRIBUNE This pow .rful
Journal. which IL a perpetual fountain Of
thought and opinion upon all moral and polit-
lcal subjects. seems full of its original vigor
and freshness. The Tribune is everywhere
along the thickest Of the fight. Al one mo.
ment it's broad shoulder lend conservative sup
port 10 some cracking arch in our political
frame. at another time il is found dealing pom
derous blows upon some venerable fortress OF
human wrongs. Sometimes The Tribune NAV

sometimes run things into the grouad, > but Il
is always straightforward. honest, fearless-and
