rENHE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, first issued
i April 10, 1871, has to-day, larger 9ggrc-
gate circulation than any other newspaper pub
lished in America, or Eve bclieye) in the world.
Compelled, n year since, to increase the price of
its severI issues, submit to the pccunary ruin
of its proprietors from the very magnitude Of its
circulation, il has probably since parted with some
patrons to whom its remarkable cheapness was a
controlling accommodating but others have Ia
ken their places, and it has now more than Two
Hundred Thousand subscribers and regular pur-
ehasers--an access of at least Fifty Thousand
those of any rival And this un precedcnted cur
rency it has achieved by very liberal expenditures
in procuring early and authentic inteligcnc by
the fearless expression of CONVICTIONS by the free
employment OF ability and industry wherever it
ight contribute to excel ence in any department
Of our enterprise, and by unshrinking fidelity to
the dictates Of Justice, humanity and Freedom.
BY very large OUTLAWS for early and authentic
advice by tele graph and otherwise from its own
spondents with the various armies of the
Union and by special efforts to furnish such in
formation respecting Markets, Crops, new discov.
cries or Improvement in Agriculture, &c, as must
specially interest farmers, have assiIuousy la
bored to make a journal calculated to meet the
wants and subscrve the interest of the producing
classes. That end we have at least measurably
attained; for no other paper exists in America or
Europe which is habitualiy read by nearly SO
many farmers and their families is TnE TRi-
BuNE to-day. We shall labor to increase both tine
number and the satisfaction Of this by far the
most numerous class of its patrons.

laper supper ted that party, though always sym

Free states against the reputation of the Mis-

ted in that movement, and was known as Repub-
lean. When the long sm0nlderng conspiracy to

minated in overt treason and rebellion, it natnr1-
" necessarily regarded resistance to this consplr
aey as paramount to all other consideration, and
devoted all its eners ics and eflts to the main
taiHanee OF our Union. In every great contr0-
versY which has divided our country, it has been
fund on that side which naturally commands the
sympathy and support of the large majority OF
schoul-houses aud the decided minority Of grog
shops and so doubtless viii be to the last.
Ard.ntly desiring and striving for the early and
enduring adjustment of our National distractions
The Tribune leaves the time, the nature and the
condition of that adjustment implicitly to those
lawfully in authority, confding in their wisdom
and patriotism, anxious to aid them to the utmost
in their arduous responsibilities and not to embar-
raSs them even by possibility. Firmly believing
in the Apostolic rule-"first pure, hon peacea-
ble"-holIing that the total and final extirpation
IF slavery is the true and only absolute cure fnT
our National ills-that any expedient that stops
short of this c'n have but transient and illusory
success We yet PROFOUND no theory OF reconstructed
and eadorse that has beoh propounded by
another neither Summers, nor Writings, nor
any Of the various Copperhead devices tor achev-
ing "Peace" by surrcndering the Republic into
the po wer of It's traitorous foes-but exhortine
the American people to have faith in their Gov
ernment. to reinforce their armies and replenish
their treasury, we believe thai, if they but dc
their duty, benign Providence viii in duo time
bring thi- fearful struggle to such close as will
best subserve the true greatness of our country
and the permanent we-being Of mankind.
We respectfully solicit the subscription and
active exer,ions of our friends, and of all whose
views and convictions accord substantially with
ours.
