1858. 
The Tribune commences its eighteenth year on the 10th of 
April inst. It has nearly completed arrangements, by an outlay 
of more than $50 000 on a new Press and other machinery and 
adjuncts 9 to reduce to the lowest point the tune which must 
e lapse between the making up «*f its forms and the reception of 
its issues by its patrons No expense or labor wilt be spared to 
render i s advices from ail quariers as prompt, full, graphic, and 
reliab e as tho e of any rival. With correspondents at the most 
important points in either hemisphere, and an editorial staff 
cho-eu from the best writers in our country, it endeavors to de¬ 
serve the unequaled circulation which was accorded it some 
years since, and which, in spite of the hardness of the times, it 
still retains. 
The Tribune’s course on the great questions of the day is 
guided by principles which will stand the test of ages. It wars 
upon Slavery, “not in the abstract merely, but in the Uniied 
States,” resaidle.ss of the fact’hat the slaves are a powerless 
caste, and belong to a loathed and down-trodden race, beause 
it realizes th t unjust, oppressive laws are a curse, not merely 
to their immediate victims, but to the whole community which 
endures and upholds them. In the same spirit., ii opposes Filli- 
busterisoi and every form of national rapacity or aggression 
profoundly convinced that *" Righteousness exalteth ana'ion,” 
and that territory won by conquest or spoliation never did and 
never can truly strengthen the nation thus aggrandized. Re¬ 
garding Freedom in Labor as the only safe, beneficent basis of 
national growth and prosperity, it contends for that Freedom 
not only in Kansas but on every acre of ihe Federal Territories, 
seeking no favor from and graining none to any party, interest, 
doctrine, or iribunal that wouldremler them the nursery and 
home of Bondage. The varied development and diver.>ifieation 
of Home Industry, the repression of Intemperance, Violence 
and Crime, the improvement, by every practicable means, of the 
conuiii-m of the needy and unfortunate, are among he objects to 
which our efforts are seadfastly directed. In short, wilhout 
assuming to be wiser or better than others, we aim to be found 
always 'he foes of Wrong, Abuse and Evil, and the champions of 
Truth, Virtue and Reform. 
We hire nobody to obtain subscribers for us, employ no trav¬ 
eling agents, offer no premiums or p< izes, but a simple copy' of 
our paper to any one who, because he approves its general char¬ 
acter and believes its circulation will exert a salutary influence, 
procures and sends us a list of twenty or more subscribers. If 
there he any who believe Republican principles would be com¬ 
mended and human well-being promoted by extending our cir¬ 
culation, we ask him to select some neighborhood in which our 
paper is not generally taken, and send us as many subscriptions 
as can there be procured. Those who desire specimen copies 
for this purpose .will be gladly supplied.
