II He NEW YORK TRIBUNE, now
more than seventeen years old, which was the
first journal in the world that appeared regu-
larly on an imperial eight sheet at so low a
price as two cents, and which has attained the
unparalleled aggregate of more than 200, 600
subscriptions, respectfully solicits it's share OF
the new patronage which the Metropolitan
Press is henceforth constrained, at a heavy
weekly cost, to deserve. 1t asks especially the
patronage and active favor the Republicans-o1
those who hate all forms of oppression, and
desire that every rational being shall be free to

as he shall deem best-of those who would ex-
tend Liberty and limit Slavery-but it further

than by external aggression and extension--all
who would rather have the National resources
devoted to the construction of a railroad to
the Pacific than to the purchase or conquest
OF Mexico, Nicaraugua or Cuba-all who would
retrench radically our present inordinate Fe-

can ever accrue to any person or community
from acquisitions or successes 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 intended to diminish
the sum Of human misery from dearthzof en-
ployment or inadequate recompense-every
scheme especially that seeks to help the
unfortunate by enabling them and teaching
them to help themsclves-must command our
earnest sympathy and cooperation.
Within the present year, T He TRIBUN Z
has provided itself with new and faster Press
at cost of $50, 900, 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 tot frank
ness in avowing its convictions and ability in
maintaining them. We appeal, then, to those
who believe that an increased circulation of
The Tribune would conduce to the political,
intellectual and moral well being of the Repub-
lie, to aid us in efecting such increase. As
we employ no travelling solicitors of subscrip-
tons, we ask our present patrons in every To-
cality to speak to their ncighbors and friends
in our behalf we shall gladly receive from any
friend lists of those who would receive and
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
shall be paralleled by increased efforts and
expenditures to make our issues more valuable
and useful than they have hitherto been
