During the coining Presidential year The Trihune i will be a more efi'ective agency than ever lor telling ! the news best w. rth knowing, and for enforcing j sound politics. From the day the war closed it has ' been most anxious for an end of sectional strife, j But it saw two years ago, and was the first' persist. I ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country j from the revived alliance of the Solid South and ! Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to rally the old party of Freedom and the Union. It \ beg'an by demanding the abandonment of personal ; dislikes, and set the example. It culled 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 Un common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has | been turned back; every doubtful state has been i won, and the omens for National victory were never more cheering. Til 15 TRIBUNE'S POSITION. I Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak ! most enthusiastically who have seen most of the struggle. It will faithfully 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 hy the Solid South i and Tammany Hall. The Tribune is now spending much labor and 5 money than ever before to hold the distinction it has enjoyed of the largest circulation among the bent I people, it secured, and means to retain it, hy he coming, the medium of the best thought and the voice of the best conscience of the lime, by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring the frecent discussions, bearing all sUles, appealing always to the best intelligence ami the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preju dices of tlie ignorant.
