EuIE NETWORK TRIBUNE, 1s55-6.-THE
tribune Is now in the middle Of Its fl-
teen year Vol Nv. of its weekly issue common
ced on the LIST Of September last. The American
public need not now BIO made acquainted with its
character or clnims to consideration. With but
subordinate regard for prudence, policy popular
n.y. IT has aimed to stand for Righteousness, for
rum Tor Humanity, against fortified lniquity,
I'.' ana Oppression. There is not "a slave trader
on .' Continent, though he never read anything
ont o. .''' II sale md notes-payable, who does
not know hate TIE TRIBUNE there is not
an cxtensno fabricator of druggod and poisonous
Liquors who docs not consider it n very dangerous
ana immoral paper, and wonder why its publication
Is tolerated in commercial, cotton-buying City
IKE New lork. The Newark Mercury once iorci-
ply remarked that it had never known a hard, grip
ing, screwinR, nvaricions employer who was not
hostile to THE TRIBUNE, nor one cminently gen-
crous and kindly who did not like it. Prompt and
plain-'poken in its denuncintions of iniquity and
ABUSES OF power, while claiming no exemption from
human inllibilty, it may have done temporary in
justice to individuals but it has never been unfath-
ful to Principle, deaf to the cries of the wrong
ed and suffering. In its columns the advocates of
novel and unpopular theories contemplating the
Moderation of human woes, especially those OF the
vocelcss and down-trodden, have ever found audi
ence and hospitality while it has ardcntly resist
ed and will pcrsistcntly combat, every attempt to
prescribe and degrade any class because Of diver
stiles of Nativity, Creed, or Color.
In defiance of calumnes the most atrocious, and
oil hosttlities the most deadly and untiring, THE
TRIBUNE has grown steadily in public anpreci-
alton from the day of its origin Its means of serv
ing the public have been augmented In proportion
Instead of single eltor with one or two assist
ants, its organization now comprises a numerous
body OF writer's each fitted by special accomplish
ment and experience for the particular line of dis
