But as to its own political principles, THE

| the champion of Equal Rights, irrespective Of
Race, Nativity, or Color. it stands i1fiexibly

of those Rights. which have been solemnly in

the tervitor of any political party nor will it
surrender or even waive its right to criticize and
condemn what is wrong. and commend what is
right in the action OF any parties or OF any pub

| The WEEKLY TRIBUNE, now more than thirty
years old, has endeayored to keep up with the
progress Of the age in improvement and in en-
terprise. 1t devotes large share of its col.
umns to a Triculture as the most essential and
general of human pursuits. 1t employs the
abest and most successful cultivators to set
forth in brief, clear essays their practical views
of the Farmers work. IL reports public dis

The WEEKLY TRIBUNE appeals also to Teach
ers, Students, and persons of nquiring minds,
by the character of its Literary contents, which
include reviews Of all the works proceeding

World, with liberal extracts from those of
especial interest. Imag NATIVE Literature also
