TIE NEW-YORK TRIBUNE FOR 1850.


During the coming Presidential year The
TRIBUNE will be a more effective agency than
ever for telling the news best worth knowing,
and for enforcing sound politics. From the
day the war closed it has been most anxious
for an end of sectional strife. But 1t saw
two wears ago, and was the first persistently
10 proclaim the new danger to the country
from The revived alliance of the Solid South
and Tammany Hall. Against that danger
it sought to rally the old party of Freedom and
the Union. 1t began by demanding the aban-
donment of personal dislIkes. and set the ex-
ample. It steadfastly called for an end
to attacks upon each other, instead
of the enemyj and for the heartiest agree
meut upon whatever fit candidates the ma
jority should put up against the common Zoe.
Under strong sense of the pressing danger.
and the necessity for every honorable sacrl-
fee, IL even supported candidates 1t had
always and under all circumstances opposed,
and by whom 1t had been vehemently fought
content only with its knowledge OF their
personal integrity. Since then the tide
of disaster has been turned back
every doubtful State has been won,
and the omens for National victory were
never more cheering. The Solid South and
its Northern allies favored Reputation, and
we have kept the Public Faith. They favored
Initiation, and we have restored Specie Pay
ments. They sought to break down the safe
guards of the ballot-box, and we have main
tained the election laws.


OF The TRIBUNE's share i'll all this, those
speak most enthusiastically who have seen
most of the struggle The Michigan State
Committee officially urged the circulation OF
THE TRIBUNE az the best means of educating
the voters and bringing ont the vote. The
Name Republicans declared that no other
agency made so many votes. Ohio. Pennsyl-
wanna and New-York tell the same story.


The political danger is not passed. Nearly or
quite one-half the voters in the country mot
counting tn suppressed vote of the freedmen
are still embraced ID the Southern alliance. We
have gained only enough to prove that by
continued effort we can win. Voters must be
educated, and kept alive TO the acts and pur-
noses of tine Confoderates That work can be
done far more etlectually now than later.
Wherever there Is a better agency, by all
means use 1t ;-where THE TRIBUNE seems the
most effective. we appeal to every earnest Re-
publican To push its circulation.


THE TRIBUNE will faithfully portray the
VARYING phases of the campaign DOW begin
ming. 1t will earnestly strive that the party
of Freedom, Union aud the Public Faith may
select the man surest to win, and surest to
make good President. But in this crisis it
can conceive of no nomination this party could
make that would not be preferable To the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid
South and Tammany ball.


The TRIBUNE is now spending more labor
and money than ever before to hold the DIS
tinction it has long enjoyed OF the largest cir
culation among the best people. 1t secured, and
means TO retain it, by becoming the medium
of the best thought and the voice of the best
conscience Of the time. by keeping abreast OF
the highest progress. favoring the freest dis
cussion, hearing all sides. appealing always to
the best intelligence and the purcst morality,
and refusing to cater 10 the tastes OF the vile
or the prcjudces OF the ignorant.


The distinctive features of THE TRIBUNE
are known to everybody. 1t gives all the
news. 1t has the best correspondents, and re-
talns them from year 10 year. 1t is the only
paper that maintains special telegraphlc
wire of Its own between Its Office and WASH
ington. It's use of the Ocean Cables during
the coming year for foreign news will be
more marked than ever. Its scientific, liter
AIRY, artistic and religious Intelligence Is the
fullest. Its book reviews are the best. Its
commercial and financial news is the most
exact. Its type is the largest; and its arrange
ment the most systematic.
