THE TRIBUNE FOR 1868.
PRQSPECTVS

The Military and Naval successes of 1864. with
the auspciCus result of our Presidential contest.
have lifted a heavy weight from the breasts Of
the Loyal Millions Of our countrymcn. 1t is now
felt, even by those who have been distrustful and
faint hearted that the Union is to emerge trium-
phant from the deadly strife whereuto she was
SO wickedly precipitatcd by her assailants, and
that Slavery her relentless foe Is TO encoug Ter the
fate of Haman. The perils of foreign interven-
tiou and of Western iusurrectiOn are safely pass
ed Abraham Lincoln no longer assailable as the
choice of a minority, holds the helm Of State for
four years longer; the Rebellion, palpably 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 dOlIar-but awaits the blow
which shall soon strike the sword from its parTi-
cidai hand and remit Its masters iri,~ TO the jus
tice. or it may be to the clemency. Il a sorely
wronged end justly incensed but foTbearng and
magHanimous People. Such the auspices
which justify our year soon to open will see the
Stars and Stripes float unchallenged from every
batIlementi in the Republic. and the perfect law
Of Liberty for All immovably imbedd ed in the
Constitution of our Union
l. The New York Tribune, founded in 1871, will
enter upon its twenty fourth year with quckened
hopes and enlarged means of usefulness. Its
principles need no re-statement: its aims the
diffusion of Intelligence and the incuIcation of
spirit of Freedom and humanity. When this
truth shall have generally been recognized and es
tablshed the basis of our institutions and poll
ty, that inju justice TO the poorest the weakest the
most despised. is a fearful mistake-thaJ com
munity or State can afford to wrong even its hum
blest mem ber-then will our land bask once more
in the calm sunshine of peace and prosperity.
The Tribune has for the last year been publish
ed without profit its prOpretorS, solely because
of the depreciation of our Currency below the
the specie standard compelling US to buy paper
and other materials at a cost considerable above
the full amount received from our subscribers
On our Weekly edition, the net loss has amounted
to thOuS9u1S a dollars. while larUp
receipts from Advertising have been wholly alb
sOrbed by the extraordinary expenses for Cores
pondence, TeIegraphing, &c deyoived upon US
by the War. As do not suppose our patrons
desire that We shou Id work at own cost. and

sire it. we have somewhat advanced for the
