THE NEW-YORK TRIBUNE. 
The Tribune—how more than eighteen years old, and 
having over a quarter of a million subscribers, or constant 
purchasers, diffused through every State and Territory of 
our Union—will continue in essence what it has been—• 
the earnest champion of Liberty, Progress, and of what¬ 
ever will conduce to our national growth in Virtue, In¬ 
dustry, Knowledge and Prosperity. It will continue to 
urge the emancipation not only of the Black laborer from 
c-haiteliMii and legal impotence, but of the White like¬ 
wise from Land Monopoly, Intemperance, Ignorance, and 
tiiat dependence on remote Markets which paralyses ex¬ 
ertion bv denying to Toil any adequate and morally cer¬ 
tain reward. ' Believing that the chief evil of our lime is 
the inordinate multiplication and disproportion of Non- 
Producers, it will continue to war against whatever tends 
to degrade Manual Labor or deprive it of its just and full 
recompense. It will inflexibly commend tho policy of 
winning hither from Europe the Useful Arts, and, wiiere- 
ever they may be needed, the Artisans as well, for whose 
products our country is now running recklessly into debt, 
u bile our laborers roam in fruitless quest of employment, 
leaving their children in want of bread, though the farna- 
er is too often compelled to sell his crops at moot inade¬ 
quate prices. In short, while battling against Ehllibucter- 
isiii and every other manifestation of that evil spirit 
which seeks through the spoliation of other countries that 
aggrandizement which is to be truly attained only through 
the due development and cultivation of our internal re¬ 
sources, it will urgently advocate a more effectively dis¬ 
criminating Tariff, the Freedom of the Public Lands, the 
construction of a Railroad from the navigable Waters of 
the Mississippi to those of the Pacific, and evssty other 
measure winch seems to us calculated to enhance the 
dignity or the recompense of Labor and promote the well- 
being of Mankind. 
Having made arrangements for fuller and mors graphic 
reports of the doings of Congress, and of whatever else 
transpiring at the Federal Metropolis shall seem worthy 
ul public regard, and having extended both our Foreign 
and Domestic Correspondence and strengthened our SUt- 
toi nil staff, we believe The Tribune may safely challenge 
a comparison with any rival, whether as an exponent of 
principles or as a reliable mirror ol the passing world. Es¬ 
sentially, The Tribune will be what it has been, while wo 
shall constantly study to improve its every feature, and 
■•make each day a critic on the Iasi.” The geueiaf ver¬ 
dict n( the Press and tlrt; Public lias affirmed the aueesss 
of our past labors, and those of the future shall te char- 
ucteiized by equal earnestness and assiduity. Wo ask 
Uvse who believe the general influence of our jotirnal to 
be salutary to aid us m extending that influence through 
an increase of our subscriptions.

WEEKLY TIMES. 
Hn Independent Political, Literal's'', and Miscel¬ 
laneous Newspaper. 
DAILY, SEMI-W EEKLY , AND WEEKLY, 
The New-York Times is the youngest of the daily newspa¬ 
pers of the City of New-York. The first number was issued on 
tho ICth oflSeptember, 1851.—so that it has only just completed 
the eighth year of its publication. But it has already become 
one of the most widely known and most firmly established daily 
journals of the United States. Its circulation is quite as large 
as that of any other daily of its class in the City of New-York 
—and ia reputation for enterprise, energy, and reliability, it 
ia»y fairly challenge comparison with any other newspaper in 
tho country. 
Tho TIMES ia wholly and entirely INDEPENDENT in its 
di8cuo3ioDi3 of all topics of public interest. It does not deny or 
doubt She importance or necessity of Political Parties to the 
proper manegemsut of public affairs—for all experience shows, 
that ia every Constitutional Government party divisions and 
party content ions aro essential to the preservation of public li¬ 
berty, and to tho vigorous and responsible conduct of the Ad¬ 
ministration. But while it docs not quarrel with party organi¬ 
sations, it ds^linaj to bo their instrument. Party organs arc 
aauncien&lj cissaeroco and sufficiently influential already. 
Ev;cfy party urd ®7Gry faction has its representatives and re¬ 
tained eCYoent'Sfl in tho novrapaper Press. The great majority 
of the journal* of £k<& United States are directly connected with 
tho party crgatinutiMO of the country—representing their prin¬ 
ciples. cooking the promotion of their ends, echoing their wish¬ 
es, publishing run?!; rod speeches, with comments only in their 
int jrsst—boixs conducted and managed merely as agents 
fer tho &$ccrapUd&i3S&.cf party purposes. They have, there- 
fcro { re higl'd? aGehorit 7 , and no stionger claim to confidence 
sad tho parties i hey represent. Asa general thing 
they a_7G rotri liainly by that portion of the public who concur 
vsiihQsra in ofiaioa; and, as their statements are always 
K3TC c? tecs.cilorcd by their sontiments and wishes, they, com- 
lEXMd 7CTJ tfltto attention, and still less influence, beyond the 
inswdi&ta six-slo of their own partisans. 
TYo I32CX38 ocsorto for Journalism a higher function than 
fcLio. cf <so52ff3ntiog to be simply the retained advocate 
oftuty poIiSicml py.rty, it claims the right to judge, fairly and 
disfcraionc&ily, ell pcrtioc—approving and aiding whatever in 
cc.y cf thvJa scay Sc-G-d to the promotion of the public good, and 
ecnionnins and d?Ronncing everything in all of them which 
itToIroc de-irimmt or disaster to the country at large, 
Itc first (jrcat aim ic to become a RELIABLE NEWSPA- 
£*S:S—rapertiDgr promptly and fairly everything of public inter¬ 
act coccTrains oil parties and all public men—neither distort- 
Lay E.££ oxastforatinE facts for the benefit or the injury of any, but 
rs niCtfiEfS equal and exact justice to all alike. It does not pro- 
fc 70 ccui>rJiliSy open any political issue—still less indifference 
to eny great political movement:—but while it will discuss 
oierytliinj cM&ccted with public affairs, with perfect freedom 
Oil d VTith wh&Scror ability it can command, it will do this, not 
i.i the intercet, for the benefit, or under the control of any 
rv.blic or of a ay Political Party—but solely in the interest 
of fra*h cr.d and for the promotion of the welfare of 
tht whole country. While upon all topics its tone will be firm, 
cijjcrotic, end entirely independent, it will deal in argument 
ratter thnn infective, in the languageof persuasion rather than 
menace, cad Trill strive to allay, by all fair and just appeals, 
rather than to increase by inflammatory counsels,-the sectional 
agitation which disturbs the peace anil threatens the welfare 
cf‘ho Federal Union. It will insist always upon a faithful ad¬ 
herence to the Constitution, respect for the Judicial authorities 
of the nation, rr.d a strict compliance with the duties and obli¬ 
gations which devolve upon the citizens of a common country. 
Upon the eubjcct of Slavery, while it will never seek occasion 
for thrusting it upon public attention, it will not shrink from 
itc discussion whenever it shall be brought prominently before 
the country, and made the theme of public controversy ; but it 
will treat it ss a local institution, the creature of local law, and 
subject to tho exclusive supervision and control of the com¬ 
munities ia which it cxiotn. The Times wiil resist every at¬ 
tempt, and wiil denounce every proposition, to wage war upon 
it from without, or to excite the fears, wound the pride, ami 
arouse the resentments of those States which may be disposed 
or obliged to permit its continued existence. But it will also 
oppose every endeavor to extend it into regions now free from 
its influence, to jeSpeaithe Slave-trade with Africa, to impose 
the laws and tho principles on which it. rests upon other States, 
and to exact for It an undue share of influence and of power in 
the Councils of tho Confederacy. It will press upon all sec¬ 
tions—upon the South and upon the North—the full discharge 
of all their duties under the Constitution, and will rebuke and 
resist every attempt on the part of ultraists, in either section, to 
promote their own views and objects at the expense of justice 
and the public good. 
The Times will discuss all topics of general interest, in every 
department of public action, and always in the interest of Order, 
the Public Peace, and the general prosperity of the community. 
Its influence will lie uniformly conservative, without neglect- 
jug anv just and "safe means of social or political Progress It 
will seek to promote the public welfare by urging the claims of 
Education, Morality and Religion upon the masses of t he people, 
and in all its discussions it will endeavor constantly to be guid¬ 
ed and controlled by the spirit, of Moderation, Patriotism and 
Common Sense. It seeks the confidence and respect of reflect¬ 
ing men of all parties, but makes no appeal to those with whom 
party success is the first motive of action, and the peace and 
welfare of the country the last. 
In its Correspondence, both Foreign and Domestic, the 
Times will not be inferior to anv other American Journal. Its 
Retorts of Congressional, and Legislative proceedings, of Fi¬ 
nancial, Commercial and General Intelligence,,of important Le¬ 
gal and Criminal Trials, and of whatever may have special in¬ 
terest for the great body of the community, will be full, prompt 
and reliable.

OF 
N £ W - Y O R K LEDGER. 
As an indication of the popularity of the LEDGER, we need 
only slate the simple fact that its circulation is larger thantha. 
of any other TEN literary papers in the country. Its i rea’ 
success is owing to the fact that its proprietor secures the besS 
writers in the count rv, end spares no expense in getting up the 
BEST FAMILY PAPER—a paper of high moral tone The 
exalted reputation of its contributors, the practical and invari¬ 
ably pure and healthy character of all i s articles, the care 
which is taken that not even one ofiVnsive word shall appear in 
its columns, and the superiorly of rs Talcs and Sketches, have 
gained for the NEW-YORK LEDGER a position that no liter¬ 
ary piper has ever before reached, w-'e feel, and alwaxs have 
felt, since the LEDGER attained i-s immense circulation, that 
a heavy responsibility rests upon us, and have endeavoied lo 
discharge that responsibility cou'cicniiouslv, feeling confident 
that ultimately we should receive the thanks of thousands and 
tens of thousands of families. 
As to the future, we are at a- lo s what to say. AVe prefer to 
perform rather than to promise What we have heretofore 
done is known to our readers; they know whit the LEDGER 
has been and is now, and must iheief.»re judge \vlia r it will bo 
hereafter. We can only say tha* among the contributors to tho
