Thesirrepressble conflict between dark

Isolated acts of folly and madness may for
the moment give a seeming advantage to
wrong; but God still reigOs, and the Ages
are true to Humanity and Right. The year

who, having just swept Pennsy lvania, Ohio
and the Northwest, appear in the New
Congress, backed by nearly every Free
State, to demand a recognition of every
mans right to cultivate and improve mod
icum of the earth's surface wherever he has
hot been anticipated by the States cessiou
to another. Free Homes, and the conse-
Grafton of the virgin soil of the Territories
TO Free Labor-two requirements, but one
policy-must largely absorb the attention OF
Congress through the ensuing season, as of
= the People in the succeeding Presidential
canvass; and. Whatever the immediate issue
we canno, doubt that the ultimate verdict
will be in accord at once with the dictates
Of impartial Philanthropy and The ihalen-
able Rights of Man.
Having made arrangements for fuller and
more graphic reports of ,he doings of Gen.
gress, and OF whatever else uanspiring at
the Federal Metropolis shall seem worthy
of public regard, and having extended both
our Foreign and Domestic Correspondence
and Strengthened our Editorial staff, we be-
lieve the Tribune may safely challenge a
comparison with any rival, whether as an
exponent Of principles or as reliable mir
ror of the passing world. We purpose not
10 be surpassed nor anticipated in the col
lection or presentation of intelligence, tho
we eschew that reputation for enterprise
which is acquired by bribing messengers
snt clerks in public offices to connive at the
premature publication of treaties or other
official documents. We prize accuracy OF
statement quite as highly as Promp;itude,
but endeavor not to sacrifice the latter while
securing the former. Essentially, the Tri-
bune will oe what it has been, while we
shall constantly study to improve its every
feature, and make each day critic on she
last The general verdict Of the Press and
she-Pu5lic has affirmed the success of our
past labors, and those of the future shall be
characterized by equal earnes,ness and ASST
duty. We ask those who believe the gen.
eral influence of our journal TO be salutary
to aid us in extending that influence thro'
an increase of our subscriptions.
