THE TRIBUNE FOR 1865.
PROSPECTUS.

The Military and Naval successes Of 1864, with
the auspicious result of Presidential contest.
have lifted heavy weight from the breasts of
the Loyal Millions Of cur cOUntrymen. It is now
felt, by those who have been distrustful and
faint hearted, that the Union is to emerge triun-
phant from tbe deadly stIife whereinto she was
so Wickedly precipi,ated by her assaiiants. and
that Slavery her RELENTLESS foe is to encouE er the
fate Of Haman. The perils Of foreign interven-
ton and Of Western insurrectOn are safely pass
ed; Abraham Lincoln. no longer assalable as the
choice of minority holds the helm of State for
four years longer; the Rebellion, palpaDIy weak
ened by its defeats and losses during the year
now closing-with its credit so reduced that its
purse bearer officially declares that its Treasury
Notes can only be exchanged for coin-at the rate
of twenty-five for one, while its bonds command
but six cents on the dollar-but awaits the blow
which shall soon strike the sword from its parri-
cIa! hand and remit ITS master-spjrits TO the jus
ticc or il may be to the cIemeucy. Of Il soreIy
wronged Und justly ineensed but foTbearing and
mGgnanimous People. Such the auspices
which Justify our year soon to open will see the
Stars and Stripes float unchaLlenged from every
battiemcnt in the Republic, and the perfect law
of Liberty for All immovably imbedded in the
Constitution of our Union.
The New York Tribune, founded in 1871 will
enter upon its twenty-fOurth year with quickened
hopes and enlarged means of usefulness. It's
principles need no re-statement: its aims are the
diffusion of Intelligence and the incuieation of
spirit of Freedom and Humanity. When this
truth shall have generally been recog ognized and es-
tabliShed the basis of our institutions and poll
mat injustice TO poorest. the weakest, tn e
most deSpised. is fearful mistake-that no COM
munity or State can afford to wrong even its hum
blest member-then en- will our land bask once IN ore
in the calm sunshine of peace and prosperity.
The Tribune has for the last year been. ubish-
ed without profit its proprietors, solely because
of the depreciation of our Currency below the
the specie standard, compelling us to buy paper
and other materials at cost considerable above
the full amount received from subscribers
On Weekly edition, the net loss has amounted
TO many thousands OF dollars; while our large
receipts from Advertising have been wholly alb
sorbed by the extraordinary expenses for CORES
pOndenee, Telegraphing, &c devoIved upon us
by the War. As we do not suppose our patrons
desire that we should work at our own cost, and
prefer not TO be patroniZed by any who may de-
sire it, we have somewhat advanced for the en-.
suing year the prices of our Semi-Weekly and
Weekly, we had already done with those of
our Daily editions. This increase is purely nom
