For over a year Democracy has been in majority in both Houses of Congress. It his had full' ontrol of the,legis!ative branch of the government. It has only lacked the Executive to bear full sway, but what lecord does the party present that should cause th the un written history of * 'the late unpleasant ness" is reported as furnished to a com pany of legislators at Albany recently, by Assemblyman George W. Wren of Kings county, Mr. Wren was formerly an actor, and as the narrative runs, before the war was engaged in the South in the same dra matic company with John Wilkes booth- After the breaking out of the war. Wren met booth in Washington, and the latter constantly talked secession; but as he bad not entered the Confederate service Wren asked him why he had not shown his adher ence to the cause he advocated, by shoul dering a musket? booth's chivalric blood boiled at the pointed inquiry, and in the characteristic Southern fashion he immediately pro duced a pistol and threatened to shoot Wien on the spot, asking. "I)o you call ine a coward?" Wren informed him that he was unarmed whereupon Booth told Wren t > picpare himself for the next time he mct him he would shoot him on sight. Wren profited by the advice, and meeting booth 011 the day of the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, was prepared for any emergency but IJooot.h made it up. That night the assassination took place! and as the story reported in the Mew York Sun, runs, Mr. Wren now somewhat regrets that he did not shoot IJoo.ii and thus sa\e Lincoln. BUSINESS LOCALS.

During the coming Presidential yt ar The Tribune will be a more ctt'GctiVo agency than.evyr for telling the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing sound polities. From the day the war closed it has been most anxious for an end i>f sectional strife. •Hut it saw two years ago, and was the first per ist ently to Proclaim the new danger to thy 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 Ixl gan by demanding the abandonment of personal dislikes, aud set. the example. It called for an end to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy, and for the heartiest agreement upon whatevrc fit candidates thu majority- should put up against th common foe. Hincc then the tide of disaster baa been turned hack; every doubtlul state has been won, and the omens for National victory were never more cheering. TIIK TKIIiUNE'B rOSITION. Of The Tribune's share in all this, those speak most enthusiastically who have seen mast of the struggle. It will faithfully portray the vuruing phases of the campaign now beginning, it will earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Union and i'nblic Faith may select the man surest to win, and surest,to make a good President. Hut in this j crisis it can conceive of no "nomination this party I could make that would not be prcft ruble to the best j that could possibly be supported by the riolid douth j and Tammany Hall. The Tribune is now spending much labo and I money than ever before to hold the distinction It ha* j enjoyed off Ac targe it circulation among the. bH | peopje. It secured, and means to retain if by be coming the medium of the best thought and the voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of tin highest progress, favoring the freees discussions, hearing all sides, appealing alwava to the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the prcju dices of the ignorant. HI'ECIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are known to everybody. It gives all the news. It lias 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 oliice and Washington. Its scientific, literary, artistic and re ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its book review# are the best. Its commercial and financial ne"'s is the most exact its type is the largest; and lot ar rangement the most systematic. THE BKMI-WKKKLY TRIHUN in by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in tho country, having four times the circulation of any other in New York, it is especially adapted to tho large class of intelligent, professional or business readers too far from New Y'ork to depend on our papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want tile editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien tific matter, lectures, literary rniscellaney, etc,, for which The Tribune is famous. Lika The Weekly it contains sixteen pages, and is in con - ,, nient form for binding, THE WEEKLY Till HUNK remains tire great favorite of our substantial country population, and has the largest circulation of uay 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 the week into more read,able shape. Its agricultural de pertinent is more carefully conducted than ever, and it lias 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, fiction and tiie humors of the day are ail abundantly supplied. I lie verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who have returned to it during the past year is that they find it better than ever.
