on the very day of its occurrence. In a no@
ment, as it We're, we have been thrown into the
immediate intellectual neighboihood of the
whole civilized and 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
will refuse to buy sell until they have read
the quotations of that days business on the
Royal Exchange and at the Bourse, whose
transactions will have closed an hour Oh; SO be-

a lew 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 and
interest among the nations of Christendom, and
consequent desire for more intimate acS
quantance with each others doings through
the medium the Newspaper Press. 1t seems
hardly possible that thousands 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 haze hitherto been content with Weekly
issue will now require Semi. Weekly or
Daily. In short Intelligence, always a vital
element of growth in wisdom, success in busi-
ness, or enjoyment in life has now become
indispensable to all.
THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, now
more than seventeen years old, which was the
first journal in the world that appeared regu-
larly OH an imperial eight sheet at so low
price as two cents, and which has attained tho
unparalleled aggregate of more than 100000
subscri ptions, respectfully soicits its share of
the new patronage which the Metropolitan
Press is henceforth constrained, at 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
Their appeals likewise to all who look and labor
for the return of ational thrift plenty, pros
perity, through the Protection of American
Industry by wisely discriminating duties on
Imports-all who favor National Progress
through internal development and Moderation
rather than by external aggression and extern
sion-all who would rather have the National
resource devoted to tho construction of a rail-
road TO the Pacific than to the purchase OF con-
quest OF Mexico, Nicarauga or Cuba--aH who
would retrench radically our present inerdi-
nate Federal expenditures by abolishing or
immensely reducing the Army and Navy. and
expanding the money thus saved on works of
beneficence which will endure to bless our
children--aD who profoundly realize that
" Righteousness exalteth nation" and that
no real advantage can ever accrue to any per-
son or community from acquisitions or sucees-
ses 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 10 diminish the sum of human misery FROM
dearth of employment or inadequate recon-
pense--every scheme especially that seeks to
help the unfortunate By enabling them and
teaching them to help themselyes-must com
mand our earnest sympathy and cooperation.
Within the present year, THE TRIBUNE
has provided itself with new and faster Press
at a cost of $4,000, merely that some of ,ur
subscribers may receive their papers a mail
earlier than they otherwise might do. With
correspondents at the most important points
throughout the civilized world, and staff of
writers 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
them. We appeal, then, to those
who believe that an increased circulation of
The Tribune would conduce to the political.
and moral well-being of the Repub-
lie, to aid us in effeeting such increase. As
we employ no travelling solicitors of subscrip-
tons. we ask our present patrons in every To-
cality to speak to their neighbors and friends
in our behelf; weeshall gladly receive from any
friend lists of those who would receive and
read a specimen coy of one of our editions,
md shall be pa ticularly grateful to those who
nay 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
md useful than they have hitherto been.
