THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

VHNHE TRIBUNE-now more than eighteen
IL years old, and having over Two Hundred
Thousand subscribers, or constant purchasers
aitfused through every State and Territory O.
our Union-wil continue in essence what il
has becn-the earnest champion of Liberty
Progress, and of whatever will conduce to ouI
national growth in Virtue, Industry, Knowl-
edge, and Prosperity. 1t will continue to
urge the emanci patton not only Of the Slack
labOrer from chatteliSm and legal impotence
but Of the White likewise from Land Monopo-
ly, IntemBerance, ignorance and that depend
ence ON remote Markets which paralyzes c1-
ertion by DENYING 10 Toll any adequate and
morally certain reward. Believing that the
chief evil of our time is the iuordinatc multi
plication and disproportion Of Nom Producers
1t will continue to war against whatever tends
TO degrade Manual Labor or dcp-.re it of its
just and full recompense. Fl will iulexiblv

Europe the Useful Arts, and, wherever thew
may be needed, the Artisans as well, for whose

waters of the Mississippi to those of the Paci-

being of Mankind.
The irrepreSsible conflict between Dark
ness and Light. Inertia and Progress. Slavery
and Freedom. ldovcs steadily onward Isola :
ted acts of folly and madness may for the mo
ment give q seeming advantage to Wrong
but God still reigns, and the Ages are true 10
Humanity and Right The year 1860 must
witness memorable conflict between these
irreconcilable antagonists. The question
Shall Human Slavery be further strengthen
. ed and diffused by the power and under the
flag Of the Federal Union T. is now to receive
momentous il not conclusive answer. Land

Millions who, having just swept PennEylvan-

New Congress, backed by nearly every Free
State, 10 demand recognition of every man $
right to cultivate and improve luodicum or

anticipated by the States cession to anoth
cr. Free Homes, and the conservation of the
virgin soil of thI Territories TO Free Labor
