During the coming Presidential year The Tribune Will be a more effective agency than ever for telling the new# bent worth knowing, and for enforcing sound politic*, from the day the war clotted it has been most anxious for an end of sectional strife. But it *aw two year# ago, and was the first persist ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country from the revived alliance of the Solid Soutli and Tammany Ilall. Against that danger it sought to rally the old party of Freedom and the Union 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 lit candidates the majority should put up against the common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has been turned back; every doubtful state has been won, and tho omens for National victory were never more cheering. THK TRIBUNE'S POSITION. Of The Tribune's share in all this, thorn speak most enthusiastically who have seen most of the struggle. 11 will taitlifully 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 V preferable to the best that could possibly be supported by the Solid Houth and lain many Hail. The Tribune is now spending much labo and money thun ever before to bold the distinction it ha* oiyoyeu ~f the. largest circulation among the bat people. It secured, and means to retain it hv be cuming the medium of the best thought ana the voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freeer cliseui-sions, hearing all sides, appealing always le lie- best intelligence and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of tlie vile or the preh, dices of the ignorant. Sl'KL'l A L KKATURKB. The distinctive features of The Tribune are known to everybody. It gives all the news. It has the best correspondents, and retains them from year te year, It is the only paper that maintains a special telegraphic wire of its own between its ottice and Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re j ligious intelligence is the fullest Its book reviews | are the best. Its commercial and financial ne'vs is ! the most exact Its type is the largest; and lis ur j rangement the most systematic. THK riEMI-WKKKLY TRIBUN j is b> far tlie most successful .Semi-Weekly in the j country, having four times the circulation of sun j other in New York. It is especially adapted to the ! large class of intelligent, professional or business i readers too far from New York to depend on our i papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want I tile editorials, correspondence, hook reviews, scien j title matter, lectures, literary inisceilancy, etc,, for | which The Tribune is famous. IJkc The Weekly j it contains sixteen pages, and is In convenient form ' for binding, TIIE WEEKLY TRIBUNE remains the great favorite of our substantial country population, and baa the largest circulation of any j Weekly issued from the office of a Daily paper lu ' New York, or, so far as we know, in the United | States. It revises and condenses all the news of the I week into more readable shape. Its agricultural de pertinent 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 itv on cattle, grain and general country produce. There are special departments for the voting and for household interests; the new handiwork department already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate aud comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, fiction and the humors of the day are all abundantly supplied. I lie verdict ot the tons of thousand old readers who have returned to it during the past year is that they find it better than ever.
