During tin; coming Presid ntial year The Tribuno will be a more effective agency than ever for tilling the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing ! sound politics. From the day the war closed it lias been most anxious for an end of sectional strife. [ But it saw two years ago, and was the tirst persist ently to Proclaim the new danger to the country ! 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 I began by demanding the abandonment of personal dislikes, and set. the example. It called for an end I to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy;' and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever tit candidates the majority should put up against the i common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has been turned back; every doubtful state lias been ; won, ami the omens for National victory were never I more cheering. THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION. Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak moat 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 by the Solid Mouth . nimany Hall. Tie Tribune is now spending much labor and money than ever b fore to hold the distinction it lias enjoyed oft he largeit emulation among the bent. peop]f. It secured, and means to retain it bv he coming the medium of the beet thought and the voice of the best condolence of the time, by keeping uhrcust of the highest progress, favoring the freees discussion*, hearing all sides, appealing always to tin: boat intelllgeiice and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the taste* of the vile or the preju dicee of the ignorant. SPECIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are known to everybody, it gives all the now*. It lias the best correspondents, and retains them from year to year, It is the only paper tliut maintains a special telegraphic wire of its own between its otHee and . Wusldngton. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re i ligioiis intelligence is tlte fullest, its book reviews arc the best, its commercial and financial nf 's is i the most exact Its type is tile largest; and Us ur ! rungeinent the most systematic. THE SKMI-WKKKLV TRIBUN ! Is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in the country, having four times the circulation of any I other in New York. It is especiuHy adapted to the : large class of intelligent, professional or business I readers too far from New York to depend 011 our ; papers tor the daily news, who nevertheless want the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, seit-n --! title matter, lectures, literary ndseellaney, etc,, for which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form for binding, TIIK WEEKLY TRIBUNE remains the great favorite of our substantial country population, and lias the largest circulation of any Weekly issued from tlte other of a Daily paper in 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 partment is more carefully conducted than ever,and it has always been considered the best. Its market reports are the official standard for tlte Dairymen's Association, aqd have long been recognized author ity on cattle, grain and general country produce. There are special departments for the young and for household interests; the new handiwork department already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet ing, and kindrid 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 tiud it better than ever. Increasing patronage anil laeilitias enable us to reduce the rates to the lowest point we have ever touched, and to oiler the most amazing premiums yet given, as follows : TERM* OF THE TRIBUNE, I\>ntuge free in the United Stutex.
