The New York Tribune. 1857-8. IHE TRIBUNE was first issnsd «s a Daily on .he 10th of April, 1841. «s weekly edition Tne 1 j • o» n i«mher of the same year; its commenced in Septembe firsldai , y u-Week y*. _ i oa ble or eight-page sheet at tmenca o C v e n with the toremost < W P - r . IC ?J expansion of Newspaper 18 rl . ,a .: . (he great extension of Railroads, the Telegraph system have »ded inle liesc last sixteen eventful years. No - journal is afforded at so low a price in any rl„ of the world; none in America, no matter r/ial price issued, pays an equal amount, weekly nonihJy, for intellectual labor. It employs cor ondents regularly in the leading capitals of Eo , and st the most important points on thiq corili | with a liberal staff of writers and reporters at I me, regarding full, early and accurate information the first object of a newspaper, and the timely d thorough elucidation thereof as the chief end of Editorials. la that spirit, THE TRIBUNE bus •n and will be conducted extending and perfecting i correspondence so fast as the increase of its pat iage will justify the expense. Should the current empt to connect the Old with the New World by . magnetic wire prove successful, we shall very loon, at a heavy cost to ourselves and, we trust, a corresponding advantage to oar readers, publish each morning a synopsis of the preceding day’s occurren ces throughout Europe, Northern Africa and West ern Asia, with regular reports of the markets, the monetary aspects and harvest-prospects of hither Europe. With a good atlas besidehira and his daily p.per on his fireside table, the American farmer or itiisan within a day's ride of the city may then .lady each evening the doings of the civilized world liiouuhout the day preceding; and it seems hardly ujnrte that any one who can read, bat especially ne Vho has children to educate, will longer deny limsclf the pleasure and profit of a daily journal. [Tie same is true measurably of those who live far fier inland; though, where mails are infrequent, a m i. Weekly, or even a Weekly paper, may seem efficient. THE TRIBUNE deals with questions of Political Economy, Fublic Policy, Ethics, Material Progress nd whatever may affect the Intellectual, Moral, iocial and Physical well being of mankind, dograat* : Theology alone excepted. Its leading idea is the onoring of honest, useful Work in whatever sphere r capacity, and the consequent elevation of the La oring Class in knowledge, virtue and general es. tcm. It is necessarily hostile to Slavsry under all • aspects, to Intemperance in whatever form orde rs with Its accessories, to War save in the defense ’Country and Liberty against actual invasion, and icvcry form of Gambling. Desiring to see Pro* iction extended and encouraged, while wild Specu tion and useless Traffic are curtailed, it favors the >licy of sustaining and diversifying Home Industry f a discriminating Tariff—a policy which lends to crease the price of Grain to the farmer while di inching that of Bread to the artisan, by reducing e distance across which their respective products e exchanged and, of course, reducing the cost of eir transfer. Regarding FilUbusterisro in all its luscf, and every form and device of National covet isnc«s, with unqualified abhorrence as the bane of jpoblics, and in their triumph the grave of Equal uman Rights, we seek by every means to woo and In the attention of our countrymen from projects aggrandizement abroad to enterprises of deveU ment and beneficence at home, foremost among licit we rank a Railroad through the heart of our riiory to connect the waters of the Atlantic with ose of the Pacific. Believing that the goods o is life arc not yet fairly distributed, and that no c ready to work should ever furnish in unwilling ienesa, it lends an open car to every suggestion of cial improvement which does not countervail the nalep ofelernal Morality nor war upon that natu- I right of every one to whatsoever he has fairly educed or honestly acquired, whose denial must i(c mankind into the chaos and night of barbarism id universal squalor. With a profound conscious. 5s that idlers,drunkards, libertines and profligates in never be oilier (in the main) than needy and retched, it bears aloft the great truth that Preven on is better than Punishment—that the child train’d 3 in the way he should go, will rarely in after years erert that way for the thorny paths of Vice and rime—that a true Education—Religious, Moral nd Industrial as well as Intellectual—U the most ffecllvc temporal antidote to the errors and woes of nr race. Recognizing in the most degraded speci len of Humanity a divine spark which should be iverently cherished, not ruthlessly trodden out, we ive charity for all forms of evil but those which ck personal advantage through the debasement of ir fetlow-bcings. The champion of no class or pie, the devotee of no sect, we would fain be the terpretcr to each other of men’s better impulses d aspirations, the harbinger of general concord iwccn Labor and Capital, and among those'whom ■cumslancc or misapprehensions have thrown into natural antagonism. A cotemporary once ob ved that he never knew a hard,grosping,niggard cmployer who did not hate THE TRIBUNE, nor fencrous, largc-soulcd, kindly one, willing to live d let live, who did not like it. We ask no higher ise, no warmer attestation. fche circulation of THE TRIBUNE is at this leas follow*; Dai1y,33,000 copies; Weekly, '6,800 copies; Semi.Weekiy, 36,000 copies; ifornia and Earopean, 6,000 copies; Total,— 0,800 copies. That of the Semi.Weekiy and ickiy we believe to be exceeded by no other news ier published in the world; that of the Daily fall* nnd that of some of our colemporarics.

Postmasters have been school, by rival journals—several of them living on their flf-procUimcd ability to serve as an antidote to the [RIBUNE —as to their political doty to promote at ir expense the dissemination af gazelles of adverse outlive Ibis warfare, but we do t affect indifference to it.

KANSAS has had her share of the Glory, Fun, Confusion &c., and I am happy to state that I she is about quieting herself and yielding the palm to the little village of Tioga. j About the first of November lasi I commenced selling Goods in Tioga, ara still selling. For a little time past there has been quite ao effort on the part of some to establish a standard price for goods par ticularly on leading articles the very articles of which the poor man uses the most. A few days since I made up my mind to change my prices on FLOUR & MEAL, as I thoogbt I had a right to. I therefore had a very modesl.handbill printed informing the people of . whgl I intended dgTng* in the future. No sooner bad the fact become known.that I bad reduced the price, than one man selling the same Goods, says: “Its a he! Can’t be the same article! 1 know it ain’t good!” Another, interested; in keeping up old fogy prices, presents the documents to show that from the prices he pays in Buffalo!for Flour, Meal &c., of coarse ETZ’S article at the low price can not be as good as ours at our high prices. Great discovery! Sensible reasoning! Humbug conclu sion ! | How long since did they find out that my articles were not tip-top ? Why,just the moment my price did not agree with theirs. Our only answprjo their Unkind remarks toward us, is, that our flour was very nice until we changed the 'price. Did that change the quality 7 when it is tbef selfsame article we have sold since last April. Hundreds can bear me witness that it is os nice os any article they ever used.' ] It has never been our practice nor never will be to say aught of the quality of our beighbor’s goods. But we do say that our “extra superfine” and “su perfine” flour is as good as-any flour manufactured or sold in Tioga County. You citizens that buy don’t longer believe the humbug yarn that you must pay from 50 lo 75 per cent for goods, especially if you gel trusted a few months. No wonder every plank in the Wellsboro’jind Tioga Plank Road has received a thousand curses from ;tbc merchants of Tioga village, because it has driven trade from us, they say. The curses will grow louder and deeper both from buyer and seller until jGoods are sold at a reasonable cash profit. Since we commenced we have tried to meet the wants of t)ic public, and we flatter ourselves that our large cdsb sales are good evidence that our effort has not been a failure, but has been appreciated by a generous and candid pub. lie. We shall continue selling Gdods in the corner store of A. C. & J, S. Bush, directly opposite of Baldwin, Lowell & Co., where we shall be pleased to show oar Goods and give our prices. We shall buy a large slock of all kinds bf Goods in New York this fall, and shall hope by pursuing a straight forward course lo merit the favorj of enough of the people of Tioga county to sell them and get our pay. 1 We shall try and have the quality and price satis factory, Call and see before purchasing, X.IST OF PRICES.
