THE PRESIDENTIAL YEAH. " THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWE RAPE IT THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE FOR 1880. During the coming Presidential year The Tribune will be a more effective agency than ever for telling the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing sound politics. From the day the war closed it has been most anxious for an end of sectional strife. Hut it saw two years ago, and was the iirst 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 begun by demanding the abandonment of personal dislikes,* and set the. example. It called for an end to attacks upon each other instead iff the enemy; and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever lit candidates the majority should put up against the common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has been turned back; every doubtful state has 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 poitray the warning 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 he supported by the Solid South and Tammany Hall. The Tribune is now spending much labo and money than ever before to hold the distinction it has enjoyed of the large*! circulation among the beet people. It secured, and means to retain it by be -otning tin*, medium of the best thought and the zoice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping ibreast of the highest progress, favoring the freces liscussions, hearing all sides, appealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of ttie vile or the prcja dices of the ignorant. BI'KCIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are knows to everybody. It gives ail the news, it has the best correspondents, and retains them from year to year, It is the only paper that maintains a special telegraphic wire of its own between its office and Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re ligious intelligence is the fullest, its book reviews are the best. Its commercial and financial neti Is the most exact Its type is the largest; and lis ar rnngement the most systematic. TIIE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIUUN is by far the most successful. Semi-Weekly in the country, having fonr times tiie 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 on our papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien tilie matter, lectures, literary nilsce.llaney, etc,, for which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form for binding, THE WEEKLY TUIHUNK remains the great favorite of our substantial country I population, ami has the largest circulation of any j Weekly issued from the office of a Daily paper in i New \ ork, or, so far as we know, in the United I States. It revises and condenses all the news of the j week into more readable shape. Its agricnltural de I partmcnt is more carefully conducted than ever, and jit lias always been considered the best. Its market j reports are the official standavd for the Dairymen's I Association, ami 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 j already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crocbet ■ ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, liction 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 had it better than ever.
