During the coining Presidential year The Tribune will be a more effective agency than ever l'or telling | the news best wortli knowing, and for enforcing sound politics. From tin- day the war closed it has I been most anxious for an end of sectional strife, j Rut it saw two years ago, and was the first persist ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country from the revived alliance of the Solid South and Tammany Hail. 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 fit i candidates the majority should put up against the I common foe. Slnee then the tide of disaster has | been turned hack; every doubtful state lias been won, and the omens for National victory were never more cheering. THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION. 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 i crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party 1 could make that would not be preferable to the best that could possibly be supported by the Solid South I and Tammany Hall. The Tribune is now spending much labor and money than ever before to hold the distinction it has j enjoyed of the largest circulation among the best j people, it secured, and means to retain it by be- coming the medium of the bent thought and the voice of the bent conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of tlu highest progress, favoring the freees discussions, hearing all sides, ap}ealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preju dices of the ignorant. SPECIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are known to everybody. It gives all the news. It has the best correspondents, and retains them front year to year, It is tin only paper that maintains a special telegraphic wire of its own between its office and Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re ligions intelligence is tin* fullest, its book reviews are the best. Its commercial and tiuancia! nc-s is tlte most exact Its type is the largest; and its ar rangement tin- most systematic. THE SEMI-WEEKLY Till BUN 1 is by far the most successful Henri-Weekly in the | country, having fonr times the circulation of any I 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 on our ! papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want i the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien i title matter, lectures, literary miseellaney, etc,, for | which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form ; for binding, THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE remains the great favorite of our substantial country J population, and lias the largest circulation of any Weekly issued from the office of a Daily paper in l New York, or, so far a* we know, in the United j States. It revises and condenses all the news of the week into more readable shape. Its agricultural de partmcnt 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 ity on cattle, grain and general country produce. There are special departments for tin- young and for household interests; the new handiwork department already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet | ing, and kiudrid subjects; while poetry, fiction and the humors of the day are all abundantly supplied. The verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who have returned to it during the past year is that they rind it better than ever, increasing patronage and j faeilitias enable us to reduce the rates to the lowest point wc have, ever touched, and to oti*r th most ' iTmu/.ifig premiums vet given, as follows: TERMS OF THE TRIBUNE, Pontage free in the United .Stale*.
