IRE NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE, now more than
seventeen years Old which was the first Journal
in the world that appear ed regularly on I'm impe-
rial eight. page sheet at so low price as two cts.
and which has attained the unparalleled agere-
gate Of more than 200, 900 subscriptions, respect
fully soicits its share Of the new patronage which
the Metropolitan Press lie henceforth constrained,
at a heavy weekly cost, % deserve 1t asks es-
pecially the patronage and active favor of Re-
PuBIIcANs-of those who hate all forms Of op-
preston, and desire that every rational being
shall be free to employ his faculties in such in
nocent manner as he shall deem best--c those
who would extend Liberty and limit Slavery
but il further appeals likewise TO all who look and
labor for the return of National thrift plenty,
prosperity, through the Protection o. American
Industry by wisely discriminating duties on I'm
ports-all who favor National Progress through
internal development and meoraiion rather than
by external aggression and extension-all who
would rather have the National resources devoted
to the construction OF Railroad to the Pacific
than TO the purchase or conquest of Mexico Nc
aragua or Cuba-all who would retrench rad-
cally our present inordinate Federal expendi-
lures by abolishing or immensely reducing the
Army and Navy, and expending the money thus
saved on works Of benefcence which will endure
to bless our ehildren-all who profoundly realize
that Righteousness exalteth nation" and that
no real advantage can ever accrue to any person
or community from acquisitions or successes
achieved by means which confravene the laws Of
Eternal Right. The free allotment of limited
portions of the Public Lands to Actual Settlers
thereon, and every hopeful plan intended to di-
minish the sum of human misery from dearth of
employment or inadequate recompense--every
scheme especially that seeks to help the unfortti.
nate by enabling and teaching them to help them
selves-must command our earnest sympathy
and cooperation.
Within the present year, THE TRIBUNE has
provided itself with new aud faster Press at a
cost Of $4,000, merely that some of our sub
scribers may receive their papers mail earlier
than they otherwise ght do. With correspon.
dents at the most important points throughout
the civilized world, and a staff of writers chosen
from among the best IN the country, we believe
that even those who dislike the politics of our
sheet concede TO it frankness in avowing its con-
vctions and ability in maintaining them. We
appeal, then, to these who believe that an in
creased circulation Of The TRIBUNE would con-
duce to the political, intellectual and moral we'll
being Of the Republic, to aid us In effecting such
increase. As we employ no travelling solicitors
Of subscriptions, We ask our present pat. ons in
every locality to speak to their neighbors and
friends in our behalf; We shall gladly receive
from any friend lists Of those who would receive
aud read specimen copy of one of our editions,
and shall be particularly grateful to those who
may send us such names from post offices at
which We have now no subscribers. Whatever
additions may thus be made to our c culation
sha, be paralleled by increased efforts and ex
penditures to make our issues more valuable and
useful than they have hitherto been.
THE TRIBUNE is printed on large imperial
sheet, folded in qrarto 70 m, and mailed to sub
