With tho beginning of the New
Year the WHIG AND TRIBUNE en-
ters upon its thirty-sccond year
1t may beJustly dcnOminatod one
of the institutions Of the State, an
old landmark, which despite the
many Inishaps Of "aood and field"
still lives in its original vlgor, and
is destined TO hold on its way 80 a
yet ripper age.
The year 1873 bore with unusual
severity upon all ncwspapors.-
There was lulI in politics, and =
consequent absence of that excite
ment which IS the fuel to political
flames, and a source of revenue to
the printers. The panic fell like
plague upon all, and our strongest
men covered bcreath the CONNER
cial storm. This Office, however,
in the face of these trials, was liter
ally swept off by the great fire Of
July last, and we had to begin anew
under circumstances calculated TO
appall, if not overwhclm us. The
wonder is that We did not totally
suspend, and cease altogether tho
publication of our paper but our
friends urged US to so on;
AID WAS PROMISED
aud given, and our patrons only
multiplied in direct proportion as
eur calamitics increased, and We
now announce to our friends every
where, that the WING AND TRIBUNE
OFFICE is INTACT,
and that its su suspension, if ever, IS
an cvont in the far off future. I'm
der lis present management no such
misfortune need be anticipated.
OUR MOTTO FOR THE FUTURE
is briefly: Opposition TO the usur-
patton of federal power, common
Constitution, administered in the
interest of all tho sections, and with
preservation of those checks and
balances which constitute tho bull
walks Of our liberties; opposition 10
rings, monopolics and rogucs, both
in and out of Office; the develop
ment of our industrial wealth. the
fostering of a system of schools
which will bring, without undue
burdens upon any class, a fair cdu-
cation to all, )" and, indeed, every sal
utarv measure conducive 10 the
welfare of our county and State,
will be duly laudcd in our columns.
Our arrangements for the future
arc ample, and the progressive spir-
it of our columns shall receive no
detriment through neglect on the
one hand, nor ou account Of a mig
gardly parsimohy on the other
New features will be added, and
NEW IMPROVEMENTS MADE,
which VIC cannot now dilatc upon,
but which We are assured will be
gotten up for the benefit of our
friends and patrons, and without
additional expense to them.
I We hope our friends will not for
get US in the different neighbor-
hoods of West Tennessee, but that
they will bestir themselves as of
yore. This year is going to be a
olive one in our annals. We shall
have au election for Governor, Con
gressmeu, members Of the LcgisIa-
turc and county officers, and it is
thought the mystic oranges will
take lively hand in the contest
political complications are ripening
-consPiracics TO deliver US over to
the radicals are being Matched,
strange bcd-fcllows will be found,
and old states may or may not be
mashed into pieces 1t therefore
behoovcs every freeman to take 4
paper, 10 read the news, and 10 keep
posted. We furnish more reading
matter than any paper in the
State. Our local columns are re-
plcte every week with home news.
