within an hours distance from our shores, and

of a dynasty, the triumph of usurpation, the
birth of an heir to royalty, the death OF \ lc-
holas or Wellington, Ill amy country Whlch
touches the Mediterranean, the Euxlne, the

| immediate intellectual neighborhood OF the
whole civilized and a large portion of the semi
barbarous world. The rise and fall of stocks

| from day to day in the journals of our seaboard
cities. The boldest operators in Wall street
will refuse to buy or sell until they have read

of human existence has just been effected by

America and one inevitable result OF this must

hardly possible that thousands should not
henceforth read their own journals who have

| THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, now
more than seventeen years old, which was tie
| first journal in the world that appeared regU-
| larly OH an imperial eight sheet at 50 low
| price as two cents and which has attained the
| unparalleled aggregate of more than 2O0,OOU
subscriptions, resi- ectfully soicits its share OF
| the new patronage which the Metropolitan
| Press is hencefcrth constrained, at a heavy
weekly cost, to deserve. 1t asks especially the
| patronage and active favor of Republicans-of
! those who hate all forms of oppression, and
desire that every rational being shall be free to
| employ his faculties in such innocent manner
as he shall deem bcst-of those who would
Extend Liberty and limit Slavery-bUt it fur
| thar appeals likewise to all who look and labor
| for the return of n atonal thrift, plenty pros
| perity, through the Protection Of American
| Industry by wisely discriminating duties
| Impoyts-all who favor National Progress
through internal development and Moderation
rather than by external aggression and extern
sioN-all who would rather have the National
| resources devoted to the construction OF rail-
road TO the Pae fic than to the purchase or con-
| quest of Mexico n icarauga or Cuba-all who
| would retrench radically our present inordi-
nate Federal expenditures by abolishing or

expanding the mCn4y thus saved on works OF
| benafcence which viii endure to bless our
children-all who profoundly realize that
Righteousness exalteth a nation" and that
no real advantage can ever accrue to any per-
| son or community from acquisitions or success
| ses achieved by means which contravene the
laws of Eternal Right. The free allotment of
| limited portions of the Public Lands to Actual
! Settlers thereon, and every hopeful plan intend
ed TO diminish the sum Of human misery from
| dearth of employment or inadequate recon-
| pense-every scheme especially that seeks to
| help the unfortunate by enabling them and
| TEACHING them to help themselves-must COM
mand our earnest sympathy and cooperation.
| Within the present y2ar, THE TRiBU n h
| has provided itself with a new and faster Press
| at cost of 100000 merely that some of our
! subscribers may receive their papers mail
| earlier than they otherwise might do. With
| correspondents at the most important points
| throughout the civilized world and staff of
writer's chosen from among the best in the
| country, we believe that even those who dis
like the politics Of our sheet concede to il frank
ness in avowing its convictions and ability in
maintaining them. We appeal, then, to those
who believe that an incrt aSed circulation of
The Tribune would condUce to the political,
intellectual and moral we'll being of the Repub-
lie, to aid US in effecting such increase. AS
we employ no travelling solic tors of subscrip-
tons, we ask our present patrons in every To-
cality to speak to their neighbors and friends
in our be helf; we shall gladly receive from any
friend lists of those who would receive and
read specimen coIy of one of our editions
and shall be particularly grateful to those who
may send US such ramts from post offices at
which we have now no subscribers. Whatever
additions may thus be made to our circulation
shall be paralleled by increased efforts and
expenditures 10 make our issues more valuable
and useful than they have hitherto been.
