TE,HE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, 1859.
Il The successful laying of the trans-Atlan-
tic Telegraph Cable marks a in the histo-
ry of Human Progress. Henceforth Europe, West
ern Asia and Northern Africa lie within hours
distance from our shores. and the battle which de-
cides the fate of king kom, the capture of VI
emma Giberaltar, the fall of a dynasty. the tr-
umph of usurpation, the birth of an heir to roy
atty, the death of Nicholas or Wellington. in any
country which touches the Mediterranean the Eu--
kline, the Black Sea or the German Ocean, will bo
published in New-Iork the next morning. if not
the very day of its occurrence. In a moment
as it were, we have been thrown into the immedi-
ate intellectual neighborhood of the whole cviiz-
ed and large portion of the semi bar barous world
The rise and fall of stocks in London or Paris will
henceforth be reported from day to day in the jour
mails of our seaboard cities The boldest operators
in Wal-strcet will refuse to buy sell until they
have read the quotations of that days business on
the Royal Exchange and at the Bourse whose
transactions will have closed hour or so before
ours can begin. A revolution in Paris an impor-
tant vote in Parliament, an insurrection in Italy
fire in Constantipople, will be discussed around
the breakfast-tables of New Xork a few hours af-
ter its occurrence A mighty though silent trans
formation in the condition of human existence has
just been effected by the little wire stretching a.
cross the oceans bed from the coast of ireland to-
that of British America, and inevitable result
of this must be an unexampled community of feel
ing and interest among the nations of Christen-
dom. and consequent desire for a more intimate
acquaintance with each others doings through the
medium of the Newspaper Press. 1t seems hardly
possible that thousands should not henceforth reg
ularly read their own journals. who have hitherto
been content with an occasional glance at those
taken by their neighbors; while many who hsve
hitherto been content with Weekly issue will
require Sem-Weekly or Daily. In short.
Intelligence, always vital element of growth in
wisdom, success in business. enjoyment in life,
has now become Indispensable TO all.
The NeIC York Tribune. now more than seven
teen years old, which was the first journal in tho
world that appeared regularly imperial s.
page sheet at so Iowa price as twocents and which
has attained the unparalleled aggregate of more
than 100000 subscriptions respectfully solicits its
share of the new patronage which the Metropolitan
Press is henceforth constrained, at heavy weekly
cost, to deserve 1t asks especially the patronage
and active favor of Republicaas-of those who.
hate all forms of oppression and desire that eve
ry rational being shall be free to employ his facul
ties in such innocent manner he shall deem best
of th ose who would extend Liberty and limit
Slavery-but it further appeals lkemise to all who
look and labor for the return of National thrift
plenty, prosperity, through the Protection of A.
merican Industry by wisely discriminating duties
on Imports-all who favor National Progress thro'
internal development and ameloraton rather
than by external aggression and extension-alI
who would rather have the National resources de-
voted to the construction of Railroad to the Pa
cifc than to the purchase conquest Of Mexico,
Nicaragua or Cuba-all who would rctrench radi-
cally our present inordinate Federal expenditures
by abOlishing immensely reducing the ARMY
and Navy, and expending the money thus saved
on works of benefcence which will endure to bless
children-all who profoundly realize that
''RiSht>onsNess exalteth nation" and that no
real advantage can ever accrue to any person or
community from acquisitions or successes achiev-
ed by means which contravene the laws of Eternal
Right The free allotment of limited Do. i.ons OF
the Public Lands to Actual Settlers thereon. and
every hopeful plan intended to diminish the sum
OF human misery from dearth of employment or
inadequate recompense-every scheme especially
that seeks TO help the unfortunate by enabling and
teaching them to help pthemseives-must command
our earnest sympathy and cooperation.
WITHIN the present year. The TYtbH.ls has provi-
ded itself with a and faster Press at cost Of
SSO'00O, merely that some of our subscribers may
receive their papers mail earlier than they 9TH
erwise might do. With corresponds nts at the most
important points throug ghout the civilized world
and a staff of writers chosen from among the bes,
in the country, believe that even those who dis
like the politics of our sheet concede it frank
ness in avowing its convictions and ability n main
tanning them We appeal, then to those who he
leve that an Increased circulation of TIE Tribvns
would conduce to the political intellectual and
moral well-beng of the Republic, to aid in effect
ing such increase. As we employ no travelling
soiei!ofs OF subscriptions, we ask present pa
irons In every locality to speak to their neighbors
and friends in our behalf; shall gladly receive
from any friend lists of those who would rece;v,
and read specimen copy of one of our editions,
and shall be particularly grateful to tbose ,vbo
may send us such names from post Offices at which
we have no subscribers. Whatever additions
may mus be made to our circulation shall be
paralleIed by increased efforts and expenditures
10 make our issues more valuable and useful than
they have hitherto been.
