vwxHE TRIBUNE FOR Iss4,
PROSPECTUS.

The NEW YoRR TRIBUNE, first issued April 10,
l84l has o-day larger aggregate circulation than
any other newspaper published in America or 1--WE
believed in the world. Compelled year since 10
increase the price Of its several issues or submit 10
the pecuniary ruin of its proprietors from the very
magntude Of its circulation, it has probably since
parted with come patrons to whom its remarkable
cheapness was controlling recommendauonj put
others have taken their places and 1t has now more
than Two Hundred Thousand subscribers ana reg
ular purchasers-an excess Of at least thty Ihon-
sand over those of any rival And this unprecedent-
ed currency il has achieved by very liberal expen-
dtures in procuring early and authentic ntegence'
by the fearless expression Of conyictons Dy tue ee
employment of ability and industry wherever
might contribute to excellence in any department
of our enterprise and by unshrnking fidelity to the
dictates of Justice, Humanity and Freedom.
BY very largo outlays for early and authentic ao-
vices by telegraph and otherwise from its own cor
respondents with the various armies Of the Cnloni
and bv snecial efforts to furnish such information
respecting Markets, Crops, new discoveries or I'M
provemeuts in Agriculture, &C., as must speeiaiiy
interestfarmyrs, we have assiduousy iaboreu 70
| make journal calculated to meet the wants ana
| subserye the interests of the Producing classes
That end We have at least measurably attained for
| no other newspaper exists in America or Europe
which ia habitually read by nearly so many farmers
and their families as is The Tribune to-day we
shall labor to increase both the number and the sat
isfaction of this by far the most numerous class OF
| its patrons.
During the existence of the Wing party, this pa
per supported that party, though always sympathi-
znwg It'll the more liberal, progressive, Ant-SlaVe-
ry wing" thereof. When new issues dissolVeo OF
Transformed old organisations through the sponta-
| neous uprising of the Missouri kestrlctlon- 1hk
TRIBUNE heartily participated in that movement
and was known as Republican When the long
smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy our
country or reduce it entire to complete abasement
TO the Slave Power eliminated in overt treassn and
rebellion it naturally, necessarily regarded resist
ance to this conspiracy as paramount TO all othei
considerations and devoted all its energies and ell
forts to the maintenance OF our Union In every
great controversy which has divided our country, II
has been found on that side which naturally COM
mands the sympathy and support Of the large ma
iority Of school-houses and the decided minority o.
erog- shops, and doubtless will be to the last.
Ardently desiring and striving for the early ano
enduring adjustment of our National distractions
The TRIBUNE leaves the time, the nature and tins
conditions of that adjustment implicitly to thos
lawfully in authority, contding in their wisdom
and patriotism, anxious to aid them TO tne utmos
in their arduous responsibilities and not to embar
rass them even by possibility. Firmly believing il
the Apostolic rule" First pure, then peaceable
holding that the total and final extirpaton of Slave
nv is the true and only absolute cure for our Ma
tional ills-that any expedient that stops short
this can have but transient and illusory success
: we vet PROFOUND no theory Of reconstruction an
o indorse none that has propounded by another
neither Summers, dor Writings, nor any OF the Va
i rious Copperhead devices for achieving Peace
u surrendering the Republic into the power of il
= traitorous foes-but, exhorting the American Pee
pie to have faith in their Government, to reinforc
their armies and replenish their treasury, we b'
lieve that if they but do their duty, benign Prov
dence will in due time bring this fearful struggle
u such close as will best subServe the true grea
ness of our country and the permanent well-bein
| of mankind.
We respectfully solicit the subscriptions and aetiV
exeraions of our friends and of all whose views an
convictions accord substantially with ours
