cussed around the breakfast tables of New York
a lew hours after its occurrence. A mighty
tho; gh silent Transformation in the conditiehs
of human existence has just been effected by
the little wire stretching across the oceans bed
from the coast of Ireland to that of British
America and one inevitable result of this must
be an unexampled community ofkfeeling ane
interest among the nations of Christendom. and
consequent desire for a more intimate xeS
quaintance with each others doings through
the medium of the Newspaper Press. 1t seems
hardly possible that lousands should not
henceforth read their own journals, who have
hitherto been content with an occasional glance
| at those taken by their neighbors; while many
| who have hitherto been content with Weekly
issue will now require a Semi. " eekly or
Daily. In short, Intelligence, always vital
element of growth in wisdom, success in busi-
| ness, or enjoyment In life, has now Deeome
indispensable to all.
! THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, now
more than seventeen years old, which was the
first journal in the world that appeared regu-
larry OH an imperial eight sheet at so low
price as two cents and which has attained the
nnnarrelleled aggregate of more than 100000
subscriptions respectfully solicits its share Of
the new patronage which the Metropoiitan
| Press is henceforth constrained, at a heavy
weekly cost, to deserve. 1t asks especially the
patronage and active favor of Republicans-ef
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 best-of those who would
extend Liberty and limit Slavery--but it fur
ther appeals likewise to all who look ana labor
for the return of N ational thrift, plenty, pros
perity, through the Protection of American
Industry by wisely discriminating duties Ola
Imports-all who favor National Progress
through internal development and melioratien'
rather than by external aggression and extern
sion-all who would rather have the National
resources devoted to the construction Of a rail-
road TO the Pacific than to the purchase or con-
quest of Mexico, Nicarauga or Cuba-all who
would retrench radically our present insrdi-
nate Federal expenditures by abolishing or
immensely reducing the Army and Navy. and
expanding the money thus saved works Of
benefcence which will endure to bless orr
children-all who profoundly realize tnat
" 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 TIE
laws of Eternal Right. The free allotment Of
limited portions of the Public Lands to Actual
Settlersthereon, and every hopeful plan intend
ed to diminish the sum of human misery from
dearth of employment or inadequate recen-
pense-every scheme especially that seeks to
help the unfortunate by enabling them and
| taching them to help themselves-must COM
mand our earnest sympathy and Corporation.
/ Within the present year, THE TRIBUNE
has provided itself with new and fast.r Press
at a cost OF 100000 merely that some Of ,ur
subscribers may receive their papers a mad
earlier than they otherwise might do. Vita
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 increased circulaton of

and shall be pa ticularly 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 circulation
shall be paralleled by increased efforts and
