within an hours distance from our shores, and
the battle which decides the fate of a kingdom,
the capture of a Vienna or Gibraltar, the faA
of dynasty. the triumph of a usurpation, the
birth of an heir to royalty, the death of Nks
holas or Wellington, in any country which
touches the Mediterranean, the Euxine, the
Black Sea or the German Ocean, will be pub
lished in New York the next morning, if not
on the very day of its occurrence. In mo-
ment, as it were, we have been thrown into the
immediate intellectual neighboghood 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 or 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 or 50 be-
fore ours can begin. A revolution in Paris, an
importont vote in Parliament, an insurrectioH
in Italy a fire in Constantinople, will be dis
cussed around the breakfast tables of New York
CIV hours after its occurrence. A mighty
tho OH 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 a more intimate &C.
quaintance with each others doings through
the medium of 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 have hitherto been content with a Weekly
issue will now require a Semi w eekly or
Daily In short, Intelligence, always vital
element of growth in wisdom, success in BUSH
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 OF, an imperial eight sheet at so low a
price as two cents. and which has attained tho
unparalleled aggregate of more than 100000
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
those who hate all forms of oppression, and
desire that every rational being shall be free to
employ his faculties in such innocent mannee
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 National thrift, plenty, pros
peritv, through the Protection of American
Industry by wisely discriminating duties Oh
Tmports-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
resourc' devoted to the construction of a rail-
road TO the Pacific than to the purchase or con-
quest of Mexico, Nicarauga or Cuba-all who
would retrench radically our present in0rdi-
nate Federal expenditures by abolishing or
immensely reducing the Army and Navy. and
expending the money thus saved on works Of
beneficence which will endure to bless oar
children--all who profoundly realize taat
" Righteousness exalteth a nation" and that
no real advantage can ever accrue to any per-
son or community from acquisitions or success
ses achieved by means which contravene the
laws of Eternal Right. The free allotment of
limited portions of the Public Lands to Actual
Settlersthereon, and every hopeful plan intend
ed to diminish the sum of human misery froha
dearth of employment or inadequate recon-
pense-every scheme especially that seeks to
help the unfortunate by enabling th.m and
t. aching them to help thenselves-must COM
mand our earnest sympathy and cooperation
Within the present year, THE TRIBUNE
has provided itself with a new and faster Press
at a cost OF $4,000 merely that some of )rt
subscribers may receive their papers 4 MAD
earlier than they otherwise might do. Vita
correspondents at the most important points
throughout the civilized world, and STAFF q.
writer's 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
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 Repab-
lie. to aid us in effecting such increase. As
we employ no travelling sole tors of subserin-
TONS we ask our present patrons in every To-
cality to speak to their neighbors and friends
in our behelf; we shall gladly receive from any
friend lists of those who would receive and
read specimen cory of one of our editions.
and shall be particularly grateful to those whs
may send US such names from post offices at
which we have now no subscribers. Whatever
additions NAV 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.
