Having made arrangements for fuller and more
graphic reports of the dongs of Congress and of what
ever else TRANSPORTING 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 believe THE TnI-
BuNE may safely challenge comparison with any
rival, whether as an exponent Of principles or as a
reliable mirror of the passing world. We purpose not
to be surpassed nor anticipated in the collection or
presentation of intelligence though we eschew that
reputation for enter prise which is acquired by brbng
messengers and 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 promptitude, but endeavor not to sacrifice
the latter while securing the former Essentially, TIE
tribune will be what ii has BEEN while we shall con-
stany study to improve its every feature and make

OF the Press and the public has affirmed the success of
our past labor and those of the future shall be char
acterlzed by equal earnestness and assduity. We
ask those who believe the general influence of our
journal TO be sauary to aid us in extending that in
huence through an increase of our subscriptions
