The new YORK TRIBUNE--ISs7-S.

Il ly on the 10Th OF April, lo4I' rs
" edition was commenced in September OF the
same year; its Semi Weekly in May 1852
Il was the first daily in America to issue dou-
BILE or eight-page sheet at low price, and It has
kept at least even with the foremost oflts rivals
in the rapid expansion Of Newspaper enterprise
which the great extension Of Railroads, and the
establishment Of the Telegraph system nave
crowded into these last sixteen oventful years.
No larger journal Is afforded at so low price IN
any quarter of the world; none in America no
matter at what price Issued, pays an eq9al
amount, weekly or monthly, for intellectual Ia
Dor. Il employs correspondents regularly IN tne
leading capitals Of Europe, and at the most I'm,
portant points on this continent, with liberal
staff Of writer's and reporters at home, regarding
full, early and accurate information as the hrst
object OF a Newspaper, and the timely ana
thorough calculation thereof as the CHIEF END OF
its Editorials. In that spirit, the Tribune mas
been and will be conducted, extending and per
feetng its correspondence so fast as the 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
full, we shall very soon, at a heavy cost to our
selves, and, we trust, a 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 hitheg 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 doings of the civilized
world throughout the day preceding; and II
seems hardly possible that any who can read,
but especially one who has children to educate,
will longer deny himself the pleasure and profit
Of daily journal. The same Is true measure
ably Of those who live further inland; though,
where mails are unfrequent, Semi Weekly, or
even Weekly paper may seem sufficient
THE TRIBUNE deals with questions of Po-
lihcal 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. It is
4ecessarily hostile to Slavery under all its as
poets, to Intemperancs in whatever form or de-
gree with its accessories, to War save in the de-
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
Tariff policy which tends to increase the
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 4
tiOnal coyetousness, with unqualified adherence j
as the bane 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 aggrandizement |
80
cence athome, foremost among which we rank |
Railroad through the heart Of our Territory to /
connect the waters of the Atlantic with those Of
the Pacific. Believing that the goods of this /
life not yet fairly distributed, and thatnO one
ready 10 work should ever famish in unwilling |
idleness, it lends an open ear to every sugges- |
ton Of Social improvement which does not eOun- !
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 mist sink m lnkind into the chaos |
and night Of blrblrism and universal squalor. I
With profound consciousness that idlers, drunk /
ards, libertines and proa;gates can never be 9th
er lin the m lin) thIn needy and wretehed, IL
bears alOft the great trth that Prevention is bet
ter than Pdn Shment-that the child trained up 1
in the way h. should 60, will rarely ia after l
years desert that way for the thorny paths of
Vice and Crime-that true Education-Relig-
Ais the mostcff .tive temporal antidOte to the
errors and woes Of our race. Recognizingi in the
most degraded specimen Of Humanity, a divine
spark which should be reverently cherished, not
trodden out, we have charity for all 1
form of evil but those which seek personal ad-
vantage through the debasement Of our fellow
beings. The champion of no class or caste, the
ievOtee Of no sect, we would fain be the inter-
prefer toeach other of mems better impulses and
aspirations, the harbinger Of general concord be-
tween Labor and Capital, and among those whom !
or misrepresentation have thrown
into ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. A contemporary once
observed that he never knew a hard, grasping,
niggardly employer who did not hate the Tri-
Dune, nor a genuine, large -souled, kindly one,
willing to live and let liVe who did not like il.
We ask no higher praise, no warner attastation.
The circulation Of the Tribune is at this time
Is follows: Daily, $4,000 copies; Weekly,
176, 500 copies; Semi-Weekly, 1000 cop
es; California and European, 5000 copies;
Total, ESQ, 500 copies. That of the Semi
Weekly and Weekly, we believe to be exceeded
Dy no other newspaper published in the world;
hat Of the Daily falls behind that of some of
,ur contemporaries. Had our hostility to Human
Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been more guar
led and polite, our Daily issues would now be
Iome thousands heavier, and our advertising far
more lucrative; but Of our patronage generally
We nave no reason, no Wish 20 complain. :
OF late, a concerted effort has been made to !
finnish our rural circulation through the inhu-
,nce Of the Postmasters, some of whom embark
n il eagerly, others under Political eonstraint;
While large number, we are happy, for the sake
" Human Nature, to state, refuse to be dragoon-
ID into il at all. Still, we have been made to
eel the heavy hand Of Power, and have doubt
ess lost thousands of subscribers in consequence.
'retexts 10 which no individual in his private
apacity would have stopped, have been relied
N TO justify the stoppage Of our papers within s
each Of their subscribers and rightfuI owners,
nd their retention in the Post Office till their
'alue was destroyed. Post Masters have been
ehooled by rival journals-sevsral eff them liV-
ng on their self-proclaimeda ability to serve as an
ntidote to the Tribune-as to their political
uty TO promote at our expense the dissemination
4 gazettes Of adverse politics. We shall outlive
his warfare, but we do not affect indifference to

ng; but in the tens Of thousands Of rural !
swhere the Post Master can induce
hany Of his quiet neighbors TO take the journal

ons, and expect to lose more as our subscrip-
ions for this year expire. We appeal, therefore,
the hearty, faithful, fearless advocates of Free
.abor and Free Sell throughout theland to take 4,
are that this Official warfare on our circulation y
e not prosecuted without CONFEDERATION. We n
mploy no travelling agents, for we will not con- q
ent to have the public harassed with the solicit :;
atoms Of strangers in our behalf. We strike the q
