Immediate intellectual neighborhood of the
whole civilized aud large portion of the semi
barbarous world. The rise and fall of stocks
in London or Paris will henceforth be reported
from day to day in the Journals of our seaboard
cities. The boldest operators in Wall street

III Italy, a fire i'll Constantinople, will be dis
cussed around the breakfast tables of New York
a few hours after its occurrence. A mighty
though silent transformation in the conditions
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 of feeling ard
interest among the nations of Christendom, and
a consequent desire for a more intimate ac-
ouaintance with each others doings through
the medium ofthe Newspaper Press. 1t seems
hardly possible that thousands should not
heaceforth 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 q Weekly
issue will now require a Semi Weekly or
Daily. In short, Intelligence, always vital
element of growth in wisdom, success in bust
ness, or enjoyment in life, has n.w become
indispensable to all.
THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, now
more than seventeen years old, which was the
first Journal i'll the world that appeared regu-
larly OH an imperial eight sheet at so low a
price as two cents, and which has attained the
Unparalleled aggregate of more than 300, 900
subscriptions, respectfully solicits its 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 of Republicans-s
those who hate all forms of oppression, and
desire that every rational being shall BIO 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 and labor
for the return of N RATIONAL thrift, plenty, pros
perity, through the + rejection of American
Industry by wisely discriminating duties on
Imports-all who favor National Progress
through internal development and moderation
rather than by external aggrt ssion and extern
sion--all who would rather have the National
resources devoted to the construction of q rail-
road TO the Pacific than to tbs purchase or con-
quest of Mexico, Nicarauga or Cuba-all who
would retrcnch radically our present inerdi-
nate Federal expenditures by abolishing or
immensely reducing the Army and Navy. and
expanding the money thus saved oa works of
beneficcnce which will endure to bless our
children-all who profoundly realize that
Righteousness eXaltcth a nation" and that
no real advantage can ever accrue to any per-
son or community from acquisitions or success
scs 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 intend
ed TO diminish the sum of human misery from
dearth of employment or inadequate recon-
pensc-every scheme especially that seeks 10

mand our earnest sympathy and co-op9ration.
" thin the present year, TIL TRlBUN Z
has provided itself with new and faster Press
at cost OF 10000, merely that some of our
subscribers may receive their papers a mail
earlier than they otherwise might Dc. With
correspondents at the most important points
throughout the civilized world, and staff 81
writers chosen from among the best in the
country, we believe that even those who dis
ike 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 circulation of
The Tribune would conduce to the political,
intellectual and moral well being of the Reput-
lie, to aid us in ef7ccting such increase. AS
We employ no travelling solicitors of subscrip-
items, we ask our present patrons in every L.
callty to speak to their neighbors aud friends
IN our behelt; we shall gladly receive from any
friend lists of those who would receive and
read a 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
additions may thus be made TO our circulation
shall be paralleled by increased efforts and
expenditures to make our issues more valuable
and useful than they have hitherto been.
