Il was the first daily in America 70 issue dou-

kept at least even with the foremost its rivals
in the rapid expansion OF Newspaper enterprise,
which the great extension Of Railroads, and the
establishment Of the Telegraph system have
crowded into thase last sixteen oyen1tul years

leading capitals OF Europe, aud at the mst nm

stat Of writer's and reporters at home re
full, early and accurate information az tne hrss
object Of a Newspaper, and the timely ana
thorough eluciaation thereof as the CHIEF END OF
its Editorials. In that spirit, the Tribune mas
been and will be conducted, extending and per
feotng its correspondence so fast rs tie increase
Of its patronage will Justify the expense. Should
the current attempt TO connect the Old with the
New World By the magnetic wire prove success
ful, We shall very soon, at a.heavy cost TO our
selves and, we trust, corresponding Advantage
to our readers, publish each morning synopsis
Of the preceding DAYS occurrences throughout
Europe, Northern Africa and Western Asia, with
regular reports of the markets, the monetary as
poets and harvest prospects OF hither Europe
With good atlas beside him and his daily pa
per on his Preside table, the American farmer or
artizan within days ride Of the city may then
study each evening the doinss Of the civilized
world throughout the day preceding; and IT
seems hardly possible that any who can read
but especially one who has children to educate,
win longer deny himself the pleasure and profit
of q daily journal. The same is true measure
ably of those who live further inland; though,
where mails are unfrequent, Semi Weekly or
even q Weekly paper may seem sufficient.
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions OF 70.
litcal Economy, Public Policy, Ethics, Material
Progress, and whatever may affect the Intellee-
tual, Moral, Social and Physical well-being Of
mankind, dogmatic Theology alone excepted.
Its leading idea is the honorng Of honest, useful
Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and the
consequent elevation Of the LabOring Class in
knowledge, virtue and general esteem. 1t Is
necessarily hostile to Slavery under all its as
poets, to Intemperanee in whatever form or de-
gree with its accessories, TO War save IN the &C.
fence Of Country and Liberty against actual in
vasion, and to every form of Gambling, desiring
to see Production extended and encouraged,
while wild Speculation and useless Traffic are
curtailed, It favors the policy of sustaining and
diversifying Home Industry by discriminating
Tariffs policy which tends to increase the
price of Grain to the farmer, while diminishing
that of Bread to the artisan, by reducing the dis
lance across which their respective products are
exchanged, and, of course, reducing the cost Of
their transfer. Regarding Fillibusterism in all
its phases, and every form and device OF Ma
tional coyetousness, with unqualified adherence
as the 5ane of Republics, and in their triumph
the grave Of Equal Human Rights, we seek by
every means to WOO and win the attention OF our
countrymen from projects of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
abroad TO enterprises of development and benefi-
cence home. foremost among which we rank
Railroad through the heart of our Territory to
connect the waters of the Atlantic viththqse OF
the Pacific. Believing that the goods OF this
life are not vet fairly distributed, and thatno one
ready to work should ever famish in unwilling
idleness, il lends an open ear to every sugges-
ton of Social improvement which does not coun-
tervail the dictates Of eternal Morality nor war
upon that natural right Of every one to whatso-
ever he has fairly produced or honestly acquired,
whose denial must sink mankind into the chaos
and night of barbarism and universal squalor.
With profound consciousness that idlers, drunk
ards, Iibertines AMI proaigates can never be 9th

bears aoft the greattruth that Prevention is bet
ter than Punishment-bhat the child trained up

years desert that way for the thorny paths oil
Vice and CFime-thlt a true E1ucation-Relig-
ious, Moral and Industrial as well as Intellectu-
Ais the most efe tive temporal antidOte to the
errors and woes Of ourraee. Recognizing in the
most degraded specimen Of Humanity, divine
spark which should be reverently cherished, not
ruthlessly trodden out, we have charity for all
form of evil but those which seek personal adj
vantage through the debasement of our fellow
beings. The champion of no class or caste, the
devotee of no sect, we would fain be the inter
prefer to each other of mems better impulses and
aspirations, the harbinger of general concord be-
tween Labor and Capital, and among those whom
circumstances or mislpprehensions have thrown
into unnatural an.agonism. A cOtempOrary once

The circulation Of the Tribune is at this time
as follows: Daily, $4,000 copies; Weekly
IT6,sOO copies; Semi-Weekly, 10000 cop
les, California aud European, 5000 copies
Total. e3O,sO0 copies. That of the Semi
Weekly and Weekly, we believe to be exceeded
BY no other newspaper published in the world
that Of the Daily falls behind that of some Of
our contemporaries. Had our hostility to Human
Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been more guar
ded and polite, our Daily issues would now be
some thousands heavier, and our advertising fa'
more lucrative; but of our patronage generally
we have no reason, no wish 20 complain.
OF late, a concerted effort has been made tC
diminish our rural circulation though the inhu
ence of the Postmasters, some Of whom embark
in it eagerly, others under Political constraint
while large number, we are happy, for the sakt
of Human Nature, ta state, refuse to be dragon
ed into 1t at all. Still, We,hsve been made Il
feel the hesty hand Of Power, and have doubt

Pretexts to which no individual in his private
capacity would have stopped, have been rellet
on 10 justify the stoppage Of our papers Wlthil
reach of their subscribers aud righttul owners
and their retention in the Post Office till thei
value was destroyed. Post Masters have beef
schooled by rival journals-sevsral eft them llV

Of gazettes of adverse politics We shall outiiy'
this warfare, but we do not affect indifference Il

neighborhOOds where the Post Master can Undue
many Of his quiet neighbors to take the journa
he recommends, we have already lost some pat
rons, and expect to lose more as our subscrip
tions for this year expire. We appeal, therefore
to the hearty, faithful, fearless advocates of Ere
Labor and Free Sell throughout theta to tax
care that this official warfare on our circulation
be not prosecuted without condensation w
