THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
THE TnIBuNE-now more than eighteen years
old, and having over Two Hundred Thousand
subscribers, or constant purchasers, diffused
through every State and Territory of our Uni
on-will continue in essence what it has been
the earnest champion Of Liberty, Progress,
and of whatever will conduee to cur national
growth in Virtue, Industry, knowledge, and
Prosperity. 1t will continue to urge the eman-
cipation not only of the Black laborer from chat
telism and legal impotence, but OF the White
likewise from Land Monopoly, Intemperance,
Ignorance, and that dependence on remote Mar
kets which paralyzes ~exertion by denying to toll
any adequate and morally certain reward. Be.
lieving that the chief evil of our time is the in
ordinate multiplication and disproportion of
Non-Producers, it will continue to war against
whatever tends to degrade Manual Labor orde-
prive it of its just and full recompense. 1t
will infiexibly commend the policy of winning
hither from Europe the Useful Arts, and, wher-
ever they may be needed, the Africans as well,
for whose products our country is now running
recklessly into debt, while our laborers roam in
f%ruitless guest of employment, leaving their
children in want of bread, though the farmer is
too often compelled to sell his crops at made
quate prices. In short, while battling against
Flllibuste1sm and every other manifestation of
that evil spirit which seeks, through the spolia-
ton of other countries that ACKNOWLEDGMENT
which is to be truly attained on.y through the
due development and cultivation of our inter-
nal resources, it will urgently advocate a more
effectively discriminating Tariff, the Freedom
of the Public Lands, the construction of Rail-
road from the navigable waters of the Missis-
sippi to those of the Pacific, and every other
measure which seems to US calculated to en-
nance the dignity or the recompense of Labor,
and promote the well being of Mankind. ,
The "irrepressible conflict" between Dark
ness and Light, Inertia and Progress, Slavery
and Freedom, moves steadily onward. Isolated
acts of folly and madness may for the moment
giqe a seeming advantage to Wrong but God
still reigns, and the Ages are true to Humanity
and Right. The year 1860 must witness a me.
morable conflict between these irreconcilable
antagonists. The question:" Shall Human
Slavery be further strengthened and diffused by
the power and under the flag of the Federal
Union I" is now TO receive a momentous if not
o conclusive answer. 8" Land for the Landless,
versus Negroes for the Negroless" is the battle
cry of the embodied Millions who, having Just
swept Pennsylvania, Ohio and the North West,
appear in the new Congress, backed by nearly
every Prostate, to demand a recognition of ev-
cry mans right to cultivate and improve q mod
lcum OF the earth's surface wherever he has not
been anticipated by the States cession to an
other. Free Homes, and the conservation of the
virgin soil of the Territories to Free Labor-two
requirements, but one policy-must largely alb
oor5 the attention of Congress through the en-
suing session. as of the People in the succeed
ing Presidential canvass and, whatever the
immediate issue, We cannot doubt that the ulti-
mate verdict will be in accord at once with the
dictates of impartial Philanthropy and the inal-
ienable Rights of Man.
Having made arrangements for the fuller and
more graphic reports OF the doings of Congress,
and of whatever else transpiring at the Federal
Metropolis shall seem worthy of public regard,
and having extended both our Foreign and Do
nestle Correspondence, and strengthened our
Editorial staff, we believe THE TRIBUNE NAV
safely challenge comparison with any rival,
whether rs an exponent of principles or as a re.
liable mirror of the passing world. We pur-
pose MOTTO be surpassed nor anticipated in the
collection or presentation of intelligence, though
we eschew The reputation for enterprise which
is acquired by bribing messengers and clerks in
pubic offices to conniye at the premature publ
cation of treaties and official documents. We
PRIZE accuracy of statement quite as highly as
promptitude, but rndeavor not to sacrifice the
latter while securing the former. Essentially
The TRIBUNE will be what it has been, while
we shall constantly study to improve its every
feature, and make each day a critic on the

Public has affirmed the success of our past la.

ask those who believe the general influence of
our journal to be salntary TO mid us in extending
that influence through an increase Of our sub.
