THE DAILY TRIBUNE. THE DAILY TRIBUNE, having completed it tw 1 th year on the 11th of last April, was enlarged more than one-fourth, or to the size of The London Times, making it considerably larger than any other cheap Daily published in this country or in the world. No change in price was made in consequence of this Enlargement-the paper being still afforded to Mail Subscribers at $5 per annum, delivered by carriers to its patrons in this and the adjacent cities at 124 cents per week, and sold to thos Carriers and to Agents ordering it by Express or Mail, for distant sale, at $1 50 for one hundred copies, or $15 per thousand copies, payable in advance. At these prices, our aggre gate receipt for our entire Daily edition do not exceed the sums we pay for paper and ink, leaving all other expenses to be defrayed from our receipts for Advertising. In other words, we return to each purchaser of our paper from us, his money's worth in the naked sheet we send him, looking for the reward of our own labor and the heavy expenses of Telegraphing, Correspond. nce, Reporting, Composition, Printing, Mailing, Book-keeping, Rent, &c., to our Advertisers alone. We do not think it now possible to cheapen new-papers beyond this point; if it ever shall be herealter, we intend to be even with the foremost in demonstrating the fact. Our Semi-Weekly, European and California editions were enlarged simultaneously and equally with the Daily, and al-o without any increase of price. We respectfully solicit a comparison of our Semi-Weekly at $3 per annum (two copies sent a full year for $5, and ten copies for $20), with any $4 or $5 Semi-Weekly, and will cheerfully send copies for this purpose upon direct or postpaid application. THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE-Enlarged. THE NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE entered on its thirteenth year on the 3d of September, when it was in like manner enlarged to the size of the Semi-Weekly and Daily, adding more than fourth to its capacity-also without increase of price. This enlargement adds at least ,000 per annum to our expenses, in addition to the previous cost of our Daily enlargement already effected. Our Steam Cylinder Presses are not surpassed by any in the world. Even though our Weekly Edition should be rapidly run up to 100,000 copies, we are prepared to print and mail every copy on the day (Thursday) that the form is put to press, without interrupting or retarding the regular issue of our three Daily editions, amounting to Twenty odd Thousand copies. We stand ready to adopt any improvements, however expensive, which will enable us to disseminate intelligence more freshly and effectively, and shall especially hail, as we labor to effect, a radical improvement in the celerity and reliability of the mails. THE TRIBUNE has not now its character to make or to proclaim. It has not been and never can be a mere party organ. It has supported the Whig party because the distinctive principles of that party appeared to favor the great ends which it has labored to subserve; it never advocated a measure because it was proposed or sustained by the Whig party. It holds itself at all times as free to condemn unsound principles, unwise measures, or corrupt acts, should the two former be propounded, or the latter perpetrated by Whigs, as though they had emanated from the hostile camp. In so far as Peace, Liberty, Education, Temperance, Internal Improvement. and Industrial Development, may be subserved by acting with the Whig party, it must continue to he, as it has been, Whig. Though never acting with any Abolition or other one-idea party, THE TRIBUNE is, and must be, the relentless foe of Human Slavery, as of whatever else tends to degrade Labor and obstruct the intellectual and social development of any portion of mankind. Were it able to perceive that a vote in New York could abolish Slavery in Carolina, it might attach itself to some one of the expressly Anti-Slavery parties; lacking that light, it declines to abandon the substance for the shadow of political good. But, while it does not see its way clear to any effective Political action against Slavery in the States which now cherish it, it regards the defeat of whatever effort to extend the giant wrong under the Flag of our Union, or to obstruct by its power the progress of Abolition in other lands as among the most urgent and sacred of public duties, not to be subor dinated to any party consideration whatever. And, while it does not propose to make Anti-Slavery the basis of political action, other than defensive, it will neglect no opportunity, remit no effort, so to diffuse Light and Truth as to render the continuance of Slavery impossible in a land irradiated by the sun of Christianity and boasting itself the great exemplar of Political Justice and lawguarded Freedom. For Temperance in all things, but especially the disuse of Intoxicating Beverages and the legal suppression of the Liquor Traffic, we shall struggle, as we have struggled, unflinchingly and untiringly. We regard the Maine Law as essentially the most beneficent statute of our day, and confidently hope to see it soon prevail universally. The Congressional Reports and Washington Correspondence will, as heretofore, be both reliable and satisfactory. The Markets for Grain, Cattle, Cotton, and other products of the country, will receive proper attention and be reliably reported in THE TRIBUNE. On our correspondence with the mo t important points throughout the world we need not here dilate. Briefly-we shall spare no expense to keep our readers well advised on every subject of interest, and doubt not that the same generous measure of patrouage hitherto accorded to us will continue to repay all our exertions. We rarely employ Travelling Agents, as so mary impostors are habitually prowling in the assumed capacity of solicitors for journals. We prefer that our subscribers shall pay their money to persons they know and of whose integrity they are assured. Any friend who believes be will do good by increasing the circulation of THE TRIBUNE is authorized to solicit and receive subscriptions; and, on due proof that money has been mailed and post-paid to our addres-, we take the responsibility of its safe transmission. Specimen Copies will promptly be sent, with ut charge, to those requiring them, and we trust many friends will be moved to ask their neighbors and acquaintances to join in making up a Club. TERMS.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. The New York Tribune, now the best newspaper The Tribune gives an interesting chapter of its in the United States, is enlarged to the size of The London Times. Mr. Greeley is determined that The Tribune shall not be inferior to any other paper in the world, and he is one of those whose determinations are always carried out, where it can be accomplished by ability and industry.-Daily (Indianapolis, Ind.) Journal. We have two daily mails from New York, one in the fore and the other in the afternoon, and often have we perused The Tribune before the Philadelphia papers have come to hand. We have only to add, that The Daily Tribune, in its present form carefully filed, will make a perfect library.-Register (Allentown, Pa.) own business history in the issue for December 1. We read it with great interest, and rejoice to know positively what we never doubted-its entire suc cess in carrying out the enlargements and im provements which make it, in our opinion, an unrivalled news journal. When away from home and our exchanges, the sight of it has always been like the coming of a friend. It is not as an ex ponent of religion we admire it, but as a friend of pure morality distinguished alike for its nobie independence of spirit, its unparalleled enterprise and business energy, and rare literary and intel lectual ability. Our place is among the v gelical" classifications of the times, but we never We observe with pleasure that The Tribune has found in The Tribune as much erroneous theory given so decided evidence of secure prosperity to complain of as we have found infidel practices and substantial hope.
