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 lias been most anxious for an end of sectional strife. But it saw two years ago, and was the first persist ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country from the revived alliance of the Solid South and Tammany Hall. AgaiiiHt that danger it sought to rally the old party of Freedom and the Fnion. It began by demanding the abandonment of personal dislikes, and set the example. It called for an end to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy; and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever tit candidates the majority should put up against the common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has been turned back; every doubtful state lias been won, and the omens for National victory were never more cheering. THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION. Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak most enthusiastically who have seen most of the struggle. It will laithfully portray the varning phases of the campaign now beginning. It will earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union and Public Faith may select the man surest to win, and surest to make a 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 Hull. The Tribune is now spending much labor and money than ever before to hold the distinction it lias enjoyed of the largest circulation among the, bent I peopje. It secured, and means to retain it, by be- coming the medium of the best thought and the voice of the host conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freeest discussions, bearing all sides, appealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preju dices of the ignorant. SPECIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are known to everybody, it gives all the news. It lias the best correspondents, and retains them front year to year, It is the only paper that maintains a special telegraphic wire of its own between its oiilee and Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re j ligiotts intelligence is the fullest. Its book reviews i are the best, lis commercial and financial iie'-'s is | the most exact Its type is the largest; and Us ar -1 rangetnent the most systematic. THE SEN! L-WEEKLY TRI BUN is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in th e ! country, having four times the circulut'on of an.V ! other in New York, it is especially adapted to ill" j large class of intelligent, professional or busines 8 i readers too far from New York to depend on on 1 ' l papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want ibe editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien ! title matter, lectures, literary miscellaney, etc,, for wliieli Tlie I'ribune is famous. Like Tl'ie Weekly it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form 1 for binding, THE WEEKLY TIM RUNE remains the great favorite of our substantial country population, and lias the largest circulation of any Weekly issued from the otliee of a Daily paper in New York, or, so far as we know, in the United States. It revises and condenses ail the news of the week into more readable shape, its agricultural de partment is more carefully conducted than ever, and it has always been considered the best, its market reports are the official standard for the Dairymen's Association, and have long been recognized author ity on cattle, grain and general country produce. There are special departments for the young and for household interests; the new handiwork department already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, notion and the humors of the day are all abundantly supplied. The verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who have returned to it during the past year is that they find it better than ever, increasing patronage and facilitias enable us to reduce the rates to the lowest point we have ever touched, and to oiier the most amazing premiums yet given, as follows : TERMS OF THE TRIBUNE, Pontage free in the United States.
