Men York Tribune We have recently noti-
ced an enlargement Of the N. Y. Courier and
Enquirer. and the new and beautiful dress Of the
Albany Evening Journal. Now the Tribune
calls for the editorial courtesy due on such oc-
casions. Surely, though the Wing party has
been somewhat roughly handled Of late, the
Uhig presses are neither dying nor discouraged.
The Tribune is now as large as the London
Times. and it displays as ample columns and is
arranged in nearly the same style as the famous
London sheet. Horace Greeley has his faults ;
yet we believe he has done more than any other
man for the improvement of the American news
paper press. So the Tribune contains matter
occasional that we will not read, and yet it is
one of the hes, newspapers in the world.
The Courier the Tribune, and the Times. are
the three best newspapers published in n. York,
and among the best printed in the languare.-
The Courier is conservative, stately and oabo-
rate--the Tribune rather progressive, aud pig.
mainland the Times has some Of the qualities
of both the others, and excels in literature it is
said. We do not see the latter very often
