"“The New York Trlbnne. r 1857-8. ■ : THE TRIBUNE- issusd' as a Daily on the 10th of April, 1841. Its weekly eda.on was commenced in September of the seme ~ear; ito Semi-Weekly ia May. 1845- It first daily “ America to issae a double or e.ghUpage sheet at a low price, and it bos kept even with the loremost of iu rivals in the rapid expansion of Newspaper enterprise, which the,great exlens.on of Railroads, and the establishment of the Telegraph system have crowded into these last sixteen eventful years. No larger joor/ial is afforded at so low a price in any ot»rtcrV li,e ' wprW; none in America, no matter at what price UsUed, pays an cqnafamdopl, weekly or niontliiy, for intellectual labor. It-employs cor respondents regularly in the leading capitals of Eu rope, and fit the most important points on this conti nent, with a liberal staff of writers and reporters at tome, regardingTall.oarly and accurate information as the first object of a newspaper, and the timely and thorough elucidation thereof as the chief end of its Bdltorikls. /n that spirit, THE TRIBUNE has been and will be conducted, extending and perfecting its correspondence so fast as the increase of its pat ronage will Justify the expense. Should the current attempt to connect the Old with the New World by the magnetic wire prove ■ successful, we shall very soon, at a heavy cost to ourselves and, we trust, a corresponding advantage to our readers, publish each morning a synopsis of the precedipgday’soccurren ces throughout E.urope, Northern Africa and West ern Asia, with regular reports of the markets, the monelaryaspects end harvest prospects-of. hither Europe. With a good atlas beside him and bis daily paper on his fireside table, the American farmer or artisan within a day’s ride of the city may then stud/ each evening the doings of the civilized world throughout the day preceding; and it seems hardly pessibie that any one who can read, bat especially one who has children to educate, will longer deny himself the pleasure and profit of a daily journal. The same is true measurably of those who live far ther inland; though, where mails are infrequent, a Semi-Weekly, or even a Weekly paper, may seem sufficient. THE TRIBUNE deals with questions of Political Economy, Fublic Policy, Ethics, Material Progress aud whatever may affect the Intellectual, Mora), Social and Physical well being of mankind, dogmat ic Theology alone excepted. Its leading idea is the honoring oi' honest, useful Work in whatever sphere or capacity, and the consequent elevation of the La boring Class in knowledge, virtue and general es teem. It is necessarily hostile to Slavery under all its aspects, to Intemperance in whatever form or de gree with its accessories, to War save in the defense of Country and Liberty against actual invasion, and to every form of Gambling. Desiring to sec Pro duction extended and encouraged, while wild Specu lation and useless Traffic are curtailed, it favors the policy of sustaining and diversifying Home Industry by a discriminating Tariff—a policy which tends to increase the price of Grain to the farmer while di minishing that of Bread to the artisan, by reducing the distance across which their respective products are exchanged and, of course, reducing the cost of their transfer. Regarding Fillibuslerisra in all its phases, and every form and device of National covet, ousness, with unqualified abhorrence as the bane of Republics, and in their triumph the grave of Equal ; Human Rights, we seek by every means to woo and win the attention of our countrymen from projects of aggrandizement abroad to enterprises of devel. opmenl and beneficence at home, foremost among which we rank a Railroad through the heart of our territory to connect the waters of the Atlantic with those of the Pacific. Believing that the goods o this life are not yet fairly distributed, and that no one ready to work should ever famish in unwilling idleness, it lends an open ear to every suggestion of Social improvement which does not countervail the dictates of eternal Morality nor war upon that naltu ral right of every one to whatsoever he has fairly 'produced or honestly acquired, whose denial must Gink mankind into the chaos'and night of barbarism and universal squalor* With a profound conscious, ness that idlers,drunkards, libertines and profligates can never be other (in the main) than needy and wretched, it bears aloft the great truth that Preven tion is belter than Punishment—that the child train’d up in the way he should go, will rarely in after years desert that way for the thorny paths of Vice and Crime—(hat a true Education—Religious,' Moral and Industrial as well as Intellectual—is the most effective temporal autldutc to the errors and woes of our race. Recognizing in the most degraded speci men of Humanity a divine spark which should be reverently cherished, not ruthlessly trodden out, wc have charity for all forms of evil but those- whloh seek personal advantage through Iho debasement of our fellow-beings. The champion of no class or caste, the devotee of no sect, we. would fain be the interpreter to each other of men's better impulses and ispiraiious, the harbinger of general concord between Labor and Capital, and among those whom circumstance or misapprehensions have thrown into unnatural A cotemporary once ob served that he never knew a hard,grasping, niggard ly employer who did not hale THETRIBUNE.nor a generous, large-soulcd,. kindly one, willing .to live and let live, who did not like it. Wc ask v co higher praise, no warmer attestation. The circulation of THE TRIBUNE is at this lime as follows; Daily, 53,000 copies; Weekly, 176.800 copies; Semi-Weekly, 16,000 mpies; California and European, 6,000 copies; Total,— 230.800 copies. That of the Semi-Weekly and Weekly wc believe to be exceeded by no other news paper published in the world; that of the. Daily falls behind that of some of our colemporaries. Hud our I hostility to Human Slavery and the Liquor Traffic been more guarded and politic, our Daily issues would now be some thousands heavier and our Ad : \erlising far more lucrative; bat of our patronage generally wc have no reason, no wish to complain. Of late, a concerted effort has been made to di minish our rural circulation through the influence of the Postmasters, some of whom embark in it eager ly, others under political constraint; while a large number, wc are happy, for the sake of Human No, j ture, to slate, refuse to be dragooned into it at all.— Still, we have been made to feel the heavy hand of Power, and have doubtless lost thousands oi subscri bers in consequence. Pretexts to winch no individ ual in his private capacity would have stooped have been relied on to justify the stoppage of our papers within reach of their subscribers and rightful own er*, and their retention in lire Post-Office till their value was destroyed. Postmasters have been school ed by rival journals—several of them living on their self-proclaimed ability to serve as an antidote to the TRIBUNE—as to their political duty fo promote at our expense the dissemination af gazelles of adverse politics. Wc shall outlive Ibis warfare, but we do not affect indifference to it. In the open ficl,d of dis cussion, wc fear nothing; but in the lens of thou- | sands of rural neighborhoods where the Postmoster can induce many of hie quid neighbors to lake the journal lie recommends, we have already lost some 1 patrons, and expect to lose more as our subscriptions for this year expire. Wc appeal, therefore to the hearty, faithful, fearless advocates of Free Labor and Free Soil throughout the land to take Care that is officnil warfare on our circulation be not prose culcd without counteraction.

Confusion &c., and 1 am happy to state that she is about quieting herself and yielding the palm to the little village of,Tioga- About the first of November lost I commenced selling Goods in Tioga, am still selling. For a little time past there has been quite an effort on tire part of some to establish a standard price for goods par* ticolarly on leading articles the very articles of ■which the poor man uses the most. A days since I made up my mind to change my prices on & MEAL, as I thought I had a right to. I therefore had a very modest Handbill printed informing the people of what I intended doing in the future. 'No sooner had the fact become known that I bad reduced the price, than one man selling the same kind of Goods, says: “Its a lie! Ccn’l be the same article! I know it ain't good I” 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., ol course ETZ’S article at the low price can not be as good as ours at our high prices. Great discovery I Sensible reasoning! Humbug concin* sion I How long since did they find out that my articles were not Up-top ? Why, just the moment my price did not agree with theirs. Our only answer to .their unkind remarks toward us, is, that our flour was very nice until we changed the price. Did that change the quality ? when it is the self same article we have sold since last April. Hundreds can bear me witness that it is as a nice as any article they ever used. ll has never been oar practice nor never will be to say aught of the quality of our neighbor'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 yam that you must pay from/50 to 75 per cent for goods, especially if you get trusted a few months. No wonder every plank in the Wellsboro’ and Tioga Plank Road has received a thousand curses from the 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 Goods are sold at a reasonable cash profit Since we commenced we have tried to mce*. the wants of the public, and we flatter ourselves that oar large cash sales are good evidence that our effort has not been a failure, but has been appreciated by a generous and candui pub. lie. We shall continue selling Goods 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 stock of all kinds ol Goods in New York this fall, and shall hope by pursuing a straight forward course to merit the favor of enough of the people of Tioga county to sell them and get our pay. We shall try and have the quality and price satis, factory. Call and see before-purchasing. IiIST OF PRICES.
