PROSPECTUS.

Inc NE" f0RR TRIBUNE, hrst Issued April W.
1o4l has to-day larger aggregate circulation than
any other newspaper published in America, or I've
kelieve) IN the world, Compelled year since to
increase the price of its several issues, submit to
the pecuniAry ruin Of its propreers from the very
magnitude Of It's circulation itshas probably since
parted with some patrons to whom its remarkable
cheapness was controlling accommodation; but
others have taken their places, and it has
than Two Hundred Thonsand subscribers and reg
ular urchasersan excess, of at least tiity Ihon-
sand over those of any rival. And this unprecedent
edearfeney it has achieved by very liberal expen-
dituFss in procuring say authentic intelligence,
by the fearless expression of convictions by the free
employment of ability and industry wherever it
might contribute to excellence in any department
OF cur enterprise and by unshrinking fidelity to the
dictates of Justice, Humanity, and Freedom.
By very large outlays for early and authentic ad-
vices by telegraph and otherwise from its own
respondents with the various armies Of The Union;
and by special efforts to furnish such iaforAation
respecting Markets, Crops, new discoveries or i'm
proyeneuts in Agriculture, &C., as must specially
interestarinyrs, we have assiduously laborod to
make q journal calculated to meet the wants and
subserve the interests of the Producing classes.-
That end We have at least measuraby attained for
no other newspaper exists in America er Europe
which is habtually 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-
isiacion 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-
zinwg 18th the more LIBERAL progressive, Anti-Slave
rs wing" thereof. When new issues dissolved or
transformed old organizations through the spouta-
neous uprising Of the Missouri Restriction. THE
| TRIBUNE heartily participated in that movement
and known Republican, When the long
smoldering conspiracy to divide and destroy our
country or reduce it entire to complete AMUSEMENT
to the Slave Power eliminated in treassn and
rebellion, it naturally, necessarily regarded resist
ance TO this conspiracy paramount to all other
considerations, und devoted all its energies and eff
| forts to the maintenance of our Union. In every
great controversy which has divided country, it
has been found on that side which naturally com
mands the sympathy and support of the large ma
jority Of schbUhouses and the decided minority Of
grog-shops, and as 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, conhding IN their wisdom
and patriotism, anxious to aid them u the utmost
IN their arduous responsibilities ana not to embar-
rass them even by possibility. Firmly believing in
the Apostolic rule" First pure, then peaceful e.
holding that the total and final exIpation OF Slave
~ is the true and only absolute cure for cur Ma
tional ils-that any oxpedient that stops short of
this can have but transient and ilusory
we yet PROFOUND no theory Of Reconstruction" and
indorse none that has propounded by another
neither Summers, dor Writings, nor any Of theye
rous Copperhead deyies- fsr uciIieying Peace BY
| furrenuering the 1tepupllc lnLO the power OF
traitorcus foes-but, eShorting the American Peo-
pie TO have faith in their GOVERNMENT to reinforce
| their armies and replenish their treasury, we be-
heye that if they but do their duty, benign Prov-
dence will in due time bring this fearful struggle to
such close as will best subserve the true great
ness or our country and the permanent well-being
of mankind.
We respectfully solicit the subscriptions and active
exerions Of our friends, and of all whose veyys and
convictions accord substantially with ours.
