THE TRIBUNE FOR 1865.
pRnSpECTYTS

The Military and Naval successe. of 1884, with
the suspicious result of our Presidential contest.
have lifted heavy weight from the breasts OF
the Loyal Millions of our countrymen. 1t Is now
felt even by those who have been distrustful and
taintheartea, that the Union is to emerge trium-
phant from the deadly strife whereinto she was
SO wickediy precipitated by her assailants, and
that Slavery her relentless foe is TO encouHter the
fate of Haman. The perils of foreign interven-
tion and of Western insurrection are safely pass
ed Abraham Lincoln. no longer aSSailable as the
choice of minority, holds the helm cf State for
four years longer; the Rebellion palpably weak
ened by its defeats and losses during the year
now elosing-with its credit so reduced that its
purse bearer officially declares that its Treasury
Notes can only be exchanged for coin at the
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-
cidal hand and remit Its masterspirits to the jus
tice or il may be to the clemency. of sorely
wronged and justly ineenses but forbearing and
msgnanimous People. Such are the auspices
which justify year to open will see the
Stars and Stripes float unch allenged from every
battlement in the Republic. and the perfect law
of Liberty for All immoyably imbedded in the
Constitution of our Union.
The New York Tribune, founded in lS41, will
enter upon its twenty fourth year with quickened
hopes and enlarged means of usefulness Is
principles need no re-statenent: its aims are the
diffusion of Intelligence and the incubation of
spirit of Freedom and Humanity. When this
truth shall have generally been recognized and es-
tabished as the basis of our institutions and poll
most despised is a fearful mistake-that no com
munity State afford To wrong even its hum
best member-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 to its proprietors, 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

to many thousands OF dollars; while our large
receipts from Advertising have been wholly alb
sOrbed by the extraordinary expenses for CORES
