Sunbury American. [volume] (Sunbury, Pa.) 1848-1879, 1858-01-16

the current attempt to connect he Old with INC
New Werld by the magnetic wire prove success
ful, we shall very soon, at heavy cost to our
selves and, we trust, corresponding advantage
to our readers publsh each morning n synopsis
of tho preceding days occurrences throughout
| Europe, Northern Africa and Western Asia,
| with regulst reports Of the markets, the moneta-
ry aspects and harvest prospects Of hithet Eu-
rope. With good atlas beside him and his
daily paper on his fireside table, the American
| farmet or artisan within days ride of the city
may then study evening the doings o the civili-
zcd world throughout the day preceding and il
seems hardly possible that any VIII can read but
especially one who has children tn educate, will
longer deny himself the pleasure and profit OF
daily journal. The same is true measurabiy
Of those who live further inland; Though, where
mails are infrequent Semi. Weekly, OF even a
| Wedklv paper, may seem sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions of Po-
litical Economy, Public Policy. Ethics, Material
| progress, and whatever may affect the n'sleetu-
al Moral, Social and Physical well bsihg OF
mankind, dogmatic Theology alone accepted
It's leading idea is the honering of honest, useful
| Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and the
consequent elevation Of the Labaring Glass in
knowledge, virtue and general esteem. 1t is ne
bessary hostile to Slavery under all its aspects,
| to lntemperance in whatever form or degree
with its accessories TO War save in the defence
of Country and Liberty against actual invasion,
and TO every form of Gambling. Desiring to see
Production extended and encouraged, while tsild
Speculation and useless Traffic are curtailed, it
tavors the policy Of sustaining and diversifyng
Home Industry by discriminating Tarill-a
| policy which tends to increase the price of Grain
to the farmer ahilo diminishing that Of Bread
| to the artisan, by reducing the distance across
which their respective products are exchanged
| nf tho oaf If thai
Regarding Flllibusersm in all its phases, and
every form and device of National eOvetousncss
with unqualified adherence as the bane of Re.
| puhlics and IN their triumph the Grave Of Equal
Human Rights, we seek by every means to woo
and win the attention of our connttymen from
| projects of aggrandizement abroad to enterprises
of developement and bcnefifcncc at home, fore
most among which we rank Railroad through
The heart Of our territory to couucct the waters
of the Atlantic with those of tVe Pacific. Be-
leving that the goods of this life not ye. fair
ly distributed, and that no one ready to work
should ever famish in unwilling ijleness it lends
an open ear TO every suggestion of Social I'M
provemcnt which does not coun,etvail the die
tates of eternal Morality nor war upon that ma
tural right of every one to whatever he has fairly
produced or honestly acquired, whose denial
mcst sink mankind into the chaos and night Of
barbarism and universal squalor. With pro-
found consccntiousness that iGlers, drunkards,
libertines and profigates can never be other Tin
the main) than needy anu .rretched, it bears
alolt the great truth that Prevention is better
than Punishmcnt-that the child trained up ~
the way he should go, will rarely in after years
desert that way for the thorny paths oiNice and
Crime-that a true Observation-Disclosures, Mo-
raj and Industrial as well as IntelIectual-is the
most effective temporal antidoe to the errors and
| .nf., riytpu int thn Ia
graded specimen OF Humanity a divine spark
which shsud be reverently cherished, net ruth
lessly trodden out, we have charity for all forms
! of evil but those which seek personal advantage
through the debasemenl of our fellow beings
! The cNampioe of 10 class or caste, the dcvotee
of no sect, we would fain be the interpreter to
each other of mems better impulses and aspira.
: tons, the ha,bngsr Of general concord between
|, Labor and Capital, and among those whom cir
cumsances or misapprehcnsions have thrown
into unnatural antagonsm. Il cotemporory
once observed that he never knew a hard, grasp
ing nisardy employer who did not late TIL E
TRIBUNE, nor generous, large ,ouled, kindly
one, willing to live and let live, who dia not like
it. We ask no higher praise, nc warmer atter
tation.
0 The circulation cf THE TRIBUNE is q
: this time as follows Daily $4,000 copies
i Weekly, l76,S0O copies; Srmi-W eekly, 6,00(
: copies California and European, 5000 copies
, Total, $50, 500 copies. That of the SemiWeck
~ and Weekly we believe to be exceeded by NJ
other newspaper published in the world, tha
Of the Daily falls behind that OF some OF ou
" cotcmporaries. Had our hostility to Human
e Slavery snd the Liquor Traffic been more gusrd
e ed and polite, our Daily issues would now b
~ ~ some thousands heavier and our Advertising Fl,
:, more lucrative; bu: Of our pstrnage general,
e, we have n reason, no wish, to complain.
n Ofla,e, a concerted etlsrt has been made t
diminish our rural circulation through the inhu
ence of the Postmasters; some of whom embar
in it eagerly, others under political constrant
while large number, we are happy, for the SAX
of Human Nature to state, reiise to he dragoo' G
v into il a. all. Still we have lr6n made to fec
the heavy hand OF Power, aid have doubties
lost thousands of subscribers in consequence
OIL Pretexts to which no individual in his privat
o. capacity would have stopped have been relied O
D. to Justify the stoppage Of our papcrs with
re reach of tlieit subscribers AMI righttul owners
DR. and their retention in the Post. Office till the
value was destroyed. Postnastets have bee
schooled by rival journals several of them li'
ing as thcI self proclaimed ABILITY TO serve rs a

cal duty TO promote at our Expense the tissem
nation of gaEetes of adSersepolitics. We sha
outive this warfare, but wedo no, affect inditle
n. ence TO it. In the open fell of discussion, "
