During the coming Presidential year The Tribune will he a more effective agency than ever for telling the news beet worth knowing, and for enforcing sound politics. From the day the war closed it has been most anxious for an end of sectional strife. But it saw two years ago, and was the first persists eutly 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 began by demanding the abandonment of personal dislikes, and set thu example. It called for an end 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 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 seon 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 tbe Solid South and Tainmany Hall. The Tribune is now spending much iabo and money than ever before to hold the distinction it has enjoyed of the largest circulation among the beet peopft. It secured, and means to retain it by be coming the medium of the best thought and UM voice of the bout conscience of the time, by keeping abreust of the highest progress, favoring the free** discussions, hearing alt sides, appealing always ts the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the pre)* dices of the ignorant. SPECIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are knowfc to everybody. It gives all the news. It has thn 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 ro ligiuus intelligence is the fullest. Its book review* are the best. Its commercial and financial nt*'"'s is the most exact Its type is the largest; and lis us rangement the most systematic. THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUN is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in ttw country, having four times the circulation of anj other in New York. It is especially adapted to th* large class of intelligent, professional or busincs* readers too far from New York to depend on our papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien titic matter, lectures, literary miscellaney, etc,, for which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly it contaius sixteen puges, and is in convenient form for binding, THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE remains the great favorite of our substantial country population, and has the largest circulation of any Weekly issued from the office 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 th* 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 the Dairymen's Association, and 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, lictiou and the humors of the day art' all abundantly supplied. The verdict of the tens of thousand old readers wis) have returned to it during the past year is that they find it better than ever.
