with able and trusted Correspondents in the

or action on these, The TRIBUNE gives amplest
space and most impartial record. Whatever
parties may propose, whatever political leaders
may say, whatever officers may do, is fairly set
down in its columns, whether this news helps or
binders its own views. Its readers have the
right to an honest statement of the facts and
this they always get.
But as to its own political principles, The
TRIBUNE Is of course, hereafter as heretofore,
the champion of Equal Rights, irrespective Of
Race, Nativity, or Color. 1t stands inhexibly
by the Amt ndments for the permanent security
OF those Rights, which have been solemny in.

1HE W EEKLY TRIBUNE, now more than thirty
years old, has endeavored to keep up with the
progress of the age in improvement and in en-
terprise. 1t devotes large share OF its col
umns to Agriculture the most essential and
general OF human pursuits. 1t employs the
dblest and most successful cultivators to set
forth in brief, clear essays their practical views
Of the Farmers work. 1t reports public dis
cussiOns which elucidate that work gathers
from every source agricultural news, the re-
ports of the latest experiments, the stories of
the latest successes and failures, and whatever
may tend at once to better Agriculture, and to
commend it as the first and most important of
progressive Arts, based on natural science.
The WEEKLY TRIBUNE appeals also to Teach
ers, Students, and persons of inquiring minds,
by the character of its Literary contents, which
include reviews Of all the works proceeding
FROM the master minds of the Old or New
World, with liberal extracts from those of
especial interest. Imaginative Literature also
claims attention, but in a subordinate degree.
Home Interests are discussed weekly by a
lady specially qualified to instruct and interest
her own sex, and the younger portion of the
other. No column is more eagerly sought or
perused with greater advantage and profit than
hers. The News Of the Day, calculated by
reader can deem it diffuse while given suf
ficiently in detail to satisfy the wants of the
average reader. Selections are regularly made
from the extensive Correspondents of The
DAILY TRIBUNE from every country, and its
editorials Of more permanent value are here
reproduced. In short, THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
commends itself to Millions by ministering to
their intellectual WAITS more fully than they
are met by any other journal, while its regular
reports Of the Cattle, Country Produce, and
other Markets, will Of themselves save the
farmer who regularly notes the m far more than
his journals price.
For the family circle of the educated farmer
or artisan, The WEEKLY TRIBUNE has no su.

sands who, having read it from childhood, still
cherish and enjoy it in the prime and on the
down hill of life. We respectfully urge those
who know its worth to commend The WEEKLY
TRIBUNE to their friends and neighbors, and we
profer it to clubs at prices which barely pay the
cost of paper and presswork.
