THE TRIBUNE FOR 1864.



TuE NEW YORK TRiBrNr, first issued April 10,
jStl, has to-day larger aggregate circulation
than any other newspaper published in America,
or we believe in the world, Compclled, year
since TO increase the price of its several issues, or
submit to the pecupisry ruin OF its prnprctors from
the magnitude OF its circulation, u has prObA-
bly, since parted with patruus TO whom its rc.
uarkahle chearuess was a controlling recou,mcuda-
ton but others have taken their places, and 1t has
now more than Two Hundred Thousand subscribers
and regular purchasers-au excess of at least Fifty
Thousand over those Of any rival And this upnrcce-
dcutcd currency IL has achieved by very liberal
pendurcs in procuring early and authentic intel.i-
gcncc, by the fearless expression OF convictions.
bv the free employment nf ability and industry
wherever IL might contribute to excellence in any
department Of uur enterprise, and hy unshriuking
fidelity 10 the dictates Of Justice, Humanity, and
Freedom.
BY very large OUTLAWS for early and authentic al.
vices by telegraph and otherwise from its own cor
respondents with the various armies of the Union,
aud by special efforts to furnish such information
respecting Markets. Crops, new discoveries lr i'm
pruvements in Agriculture, &c, as must specially
interest farmers We have assduously laborCd to
make journal calculated to meet the wants and
subscrvC the interests Of the Producing Glasses.
That cnl we have ct least medSuribly attAided /;
for no other newspaper exists in America or Eu-
rope which is ha6tualy read by nearly SO many
farmers and their families rs Is THE TRIBUNE to-
day. We shall labor to increase both the number
and the satisfaction Of this by far the most numcr.
Gus class of its patrons.
During the existence Of the Wing party this
paper supported that party. though ALWAYS svmpa-
thiting with the more liberal progressive Anti
Slavery " wing" thereof. When new issues dis
solved or transformed old organizations through the
spontaneous uprising of the people or the Free
States against the rcpudatou Of the Missouri Re
strctun, THE TEBUNE heartily participated in that
movement, and WAS kaowu MS Republican. When
the long Smnuldrriug conspiracy 10 divide and de-
Stroy our country or reduce it entire 70 complete
abasemcnt to the slave Power cuunatcd in overt
treason aud rebellion il naturally, necessarily re
gardcd resistance to this conspiracy as paramount
To all other considerations and devoted all its Cucr-
gcS and efforts To the maintcnacc of our Union.
In every great controversy which has divided our
country, it has been found ON that side which natu-
rally commands the sympathy and support Of the
large majority Of school-houscs and the decided
minority of grog shops and 50 doubtless will be to
the last.
Ardently desiring and striving for the early and
enduring adjustment OF our National distractions,
THE TRIBUNE leaves the time, the nature and the
conditions of that adjustment implicitly to those
lawfully in authority, cOudling in their wisdom,
ana patriotism, anxious to aid thcm to the utmoSt in
their arluouS responsibilities and not to cmbarrass
them even by possibility. Firmly believing i'm the
Apostolic rule" First pure, thew pcaceable"-
holding that the total and final cxtrpation of
Slavery IS the true and only absolute cure for our
National ills-that any eNpedicnt that stops short
of this can have but transient aud illus6ry sue
cess we yet PROFOUND no theory of re-construc-
tion," and ndorsc none that has been propounled
by another neither summers, nor Whitirg's nor
any of the various COpperhead devices for achev-
ing "Peace" by surrcndering the Republic into
the power of its raitorous .ueS--but, eNhortng the
American people to have faith in their Government,
to rccniorcc their armies aud replensh their trea-
sury, we believe that C they but do their duty, a
benign Providence will in due time bring the fear
ul struggle to such close as will best subserve
the true greatness OF our Cou7try and the pnrma-
nent wcll-bCing of mankind.
The present session of Congress will b, an cx-
cccdingly important one, and we have made ample
arrangements to lay before our readers what is 90
Ing on in Washington, both in Congress and in the
Departments,
We respectfully solicit the subscriptions and ac-
tive cXcrtions of our friends. and of all whose
views and convictions accord substantially with
ours.
