the Publisher to make great additions to the
literary merits of the work. !, -
We take it for granted there are but few mag

announce that they will both write for our,
magazine the coming year. Mr. Cozzens will
contributes new and really original Story,
which will appear in every number; and Mr..
klmball will furnish aSketch or Story as Oft
en- as his other duties willpermit. saf
We have now two contributors not excelled
by any writers in thecountry, namely, Rev, F.
w. Shelton and Charles G. Leland. The first
known as our 'sUp-R River Correspondent" has
written series of Letters, a part of which have
been issued and extensively sold in a beautiful
illustrated volume, and the latter is now writ
ing a series of Observations of Mace Sloper
which delight all who read them. These will
be continued regularly, and Mr.. Shelton will
give a Sketch or a Letter each month.
We have also several highly accomplished
Lady Contrib utors, whose favors will grace our
pages regularly, and whose names we would
be glad to publish, if we We're permitted to

Chicago Tribune for 1867.

TNHE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is a bold, earn
i est and straightforward Republican paper,
devoted to the cause of Freedom, Progress. and
Reform. Believing that Liberty, and not
Bondage, is the saving principle ofthe Repub-
lie, it is enlisted into the. Republican ranks,
not for campaign, but during the struggle
between Freedom and Slavery. 1t contends
for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote of the Fathers of the Republic in the Con-
gress Of 1857, that "Slavery orinvoluntary SER
vitude shall never exist in territory now Free"
and it therefore insists that Kansas shall free,
that Slavery shall be excluded ftom all Ma
tional Territory, and that the influence Of the
General Government shall be exercised on the
side of Freedom. @4ss
