THK NKW YORK ITRI BUNE FOR IHBO. During tin; coming Presidential yr:r Tito Tribune will bo a more effective agency than ever lor tolling I the IH'wn host worth knowing, and for enforcing sound politics. From tlie day the war closed it has j j boon inost anxious for an end of sectional strife. j Hut it saw two years ago, and was the first persist- j i ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country ! ; from the revived alliance or the Solid Bouth and j ' Tamtnanj Hall. Against that uanger it sought to I rally the old party of Freedom :nd the Union. It j j 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 j : candidates the majority should put up against the I common foe. Binco then the tide of disaster has , been turned back; every doubtful state lias been ' won, and the omens for National victory were never j more cheering. THK TRIBUNE'S POSITION. Of The Tribujie's share in all this, those speak j most enthusiastically who have seen most of the I struggle. It will faithfully portray the varniug phases of the campaign now beginning. It will , earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union 1 and Public Faith may select the man surest to win, j ; and surest to make a good President. Hut in this i ! crisis it can conceive of no nomination tins party I I could make that would not be preferable to the best : that could possibly be supported by the Solid South and Tammany Hall. The Tribune is now spending much labor and I money than ever before to hold the distinction it has enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best \ ■profile, it secured, and means to retain it, by be- ! coming the medium of the best thought and the! : voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping j I abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freeest j : discussions, hearing all sides, appealing always to j | the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re- ! | fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the prcju -1 dices of the ignorant. si'KCl \l, FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are known Ito everybody. It gives all the news. It has the 1 best correspondents, and retains them from year to 1 | year, It is the only paper that maintains a special I , telegraphic wire of its own between its olljee and 1 Washington Its scientific, literary, artistic and re -1 ligioii* intelligence is the fullest. Its book reviews are the la st. Its commercial and financial news is j the most exact Its type is the largest; and its ur j rangenicnt the most systematic. TIIK SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE is by far tlie most successful Semi-Weekly in the I country, having four times the circulation of any : other in New York. It is especially adapted to the | large class of intelligent, professional or business readers too far from New York to depend 011 our 1 papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien tific matter, lectures, literary miscellaney, etc,, for ; which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly j it contains sixteen pages, - and is In convenient form 1 for binding, THK WKKKLY TRIBUNE j remains the great favorite of our substantial country j population, and has the largest circulation of any j : Weekly issued from the otliee of a I tally paper in | I New York, or, so far as we know, in the United ! • States. It revises and condenses all the news of the ' | week into more readable shape. Its agricultural de | partmcnt is more carefully conduct) d than ever, and !it lias always been considered the best, its market | reports are the official standard for the Uairytnen's : Association, and have long been recognized author j ity on cattle, grain and general country produce. \ There are special departments for the young and for i household interests; the new handiwork department j j already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate | and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet- j 1 ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, fiction and i 1 the humors of the day are till 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.
