NEW-YORK TRIBUNE.


FANlE 9RlBU &E--Now more than Eighteen
L. Years old, and having over two Hundred
Thousand subscribers. or constant purchasers, dif
fused through every State and Territory OF our
Unidn-wili continue in essence what il has been
the earnest champion Of Liberty, Progress, and of
whatever will conduce to our national growth in
Virtue, Industry, knowledge, and Prosperity. It
viii continue to urge the emancipation not only OF
the Black Laborer from chattelism and legal nnpo-
tence, but of the w hite likewise from Land Mono
poly, Intemperance, Ignorance, and that depen-
dence on remote Markets which paralyzes exertfon
by denying to Toll any adequate and morally GER
tain reward. Believing that the chief evil of our
time is the Inordinae multiplication and dspropor
ton OF Non-Producers, il will continue to war
against whatever tends to degrade Manuel Labor or
deprive it OF its just and fuu recompense E will
lnfexiilly commend the policy of winning hither
from Europe the Useful Arts, and, wherever they
may be needed, the Artisans as well, for whose
products cur country is now running recklessy into
debt, while laboIers in fruitless quest of
employment, leaving their children in want Of
bread, though the farmer is often compelled TO
sell his crops at most inadequate prices La short
while battling against FiilDusterism and every other
manifestation of that evil spirit which seeks through
the spoliltion o. other countries that aggranize-
ment which is 10 be truly attained only through
the Development and cultivation of our internal
resources. 1t will urgently advocate more effect
lyely discriminating Tariff, the Freedom Of the
Public Lands, the construction of Railroad from
the navigaoe waters OF the Mississippi TO those of
the Pacific, and every other measure which seems
TO us calculated to enhance the dignity or the re-
compenSe Of Labor and promote the well being OF
Mankind.
The ssirrepressbls confct'' between Darkness
and 1ght, Inertia and Progress, Slavery and Free
dom, moves steadily onward. Isolated acts of
folly and madness may forthe moment give seem
ing advantage 10 Wrong; but God still reigns, and
the Ages are true to Humanity and Right. The
year 1850 must witness memorable conflict be-
tween these iTreconcllable antagonists. The ques-
tlon--'Shall Human Slavery be further strength
ened and .diffnsed by the power and uader the g
Of the Federal Union rs is TO receive mo-
mentons If not conclusive answer. Gland for the
Landless Negroes for the Negro1ess'' is the
bGttlecry OF the embodied Millions who, having
just swept Pennsylvania Ohio and the ortll- W es.,
appear ia the new Congress- backed by nearly every
Free State, to demand recognition OF every
mans right to cultivate and improve a modicum OF
the earh's surface wherever he not been antci-
pated gy the States cession to another. Free
Homes, and the Consecration of the virgin soil OF
the Territories 10 Free habor-two requirements,
but polcy-inust largely absorb the attention
of Congress through the ensuing session, Of the
People in the succeeding Presidential canvass and
whatever the immediate issue, We cannot doubt
that tie ultimate verdict viii be in accord at once
with the dictates Of impartial philanthropy and the
inaEenatle Rights of Man.
Having made arrangements for fuller and more
gra phc reports Of the doings If Congress, and Of
whatever else Fanspirng at the Federal Metropolis
shal seem worthy Of public regard, and having
tended both our Foreign and Domestic Cofrespon-
denee and strengthened Editorial staff. we be-
leve The TRIBUNE may safely challenge a com
paTison with any rival, whether exponent OF
principles a reliable mirror of the passing
world. We purpose not to be surpassed anti
cipated in tie collection or presentation Of intrli-
genee, though eScheY that reputation Tor enter
prise which is acquired by bTibing messengers and
clerks in public oees to conniye ct the premature
publication Of treaties OF other ofleial documents.
w e prize accuracy Of statement quite highly as
proI8ptade, but endeayor not 10 sacrifice the lat
ter while securing the former. Essentially, THE
TRIBUNE viii be what It has been, while shall
constantly study to improve its every festure, and
.Sinake each day critic tie last" The general
verdict nf the Press and the Public has affirmed the
success Of our past labors, aud these o the future
snail be characterized by equ& earnestness and
assiduity. We ask those who believe the general
influence Of journal to be salutary to aid us in
exteuding that influence thIeH2h increase Of our
