ESTABLISH M ENT OF THE TRIBUNE. The Democratic rarty claimed an unbroken srries of triumphs in every (Presidential elect on which it did d-t ithrow awnv by its own dissention-; land, beiu now united, regarded it jsuccess as inevitable. Yoa Whigs" 'said Dr. Duncan, of Ohio, one of its most effective canvassers, "achieve great victories every day in the year but one that is the day ol c ecjtion." It was certain that a paity jrvhieh had eDjoyed the ever-increas-jing patronage of the Federal Govern'metit for the preceding twelve years, .which weilded that of most of the jStates also, and which was still backed t y the popularity and active sympathy of Gen. Jackson, was not to be expelled from power without the most resolute, persistent, systematic exertions. Hence it was determined in the councils of our fiieuds at Albany that a new campaign paper should be issued.no be entitled Th-. Log Cub in ; and I was chosen to conduct it. No contributions were made or sought in its behalf. I was to publish as well as edit it; it was to be a folio of good size; and it was determined that fitteen copies 6houM be seut for the full term ot six month- (from May 1 to November 1) for $5. 1 had just secured a new partner (nay fifth or sixth) of considerable business capacity, when this campaign sht-St wss undertaken, and the immediate influx of subsciiptions frightened and repelled him. He, insisted that the price was ruinous; that the paper cou'd not be afforded lot so little; that we should inevitably be bankrupted by its enormous circulation, and all my expostulations and entreaties were unavailing against his fixed resolve to get out of the concern at once. therefore dissolved and settled with him and wis left alone to edit and publish both The ActoYorker and The Log Cabin, as I had in 1838 edited, but not published. The Neio- Yorker and The Jrffersmtian. Having neither steam presses nor facilities for mailing, I was obliged to hire everything done but the headwork, which invo'ved heavier outlays than I ought to have had to meet. I tried to make The Log Co bin as effective as I could, with engravings of Gen. Harrison's battlescenes, music, &c, and to make it a model of its kind; but the times wero so changed that it was more lively and less sedately argumentative than The Jtffertonian. Its circulation was entirely beyond precedent. I fixed the edition of No. 1 at 30,000; but, before the close of the wee, I was obliged to print 10,000 more: and even this was too few. The circulation ran rapidly up to fcO.000, and might have been increased, had I possessed ample, facilities fr printing and mailine, to 100,000. With the machinery of distributioirby trie news companies, expresses, &c, row existing, I guess that it might lu vebeen swelled to a quarter of a million. And, though I made very little niOLey by it, I gave every subscriber an extra number containing the results of the election. After that I continued the paper for a full year longer; havir g a circulation of 10,0iJ0 copies, -which about paid the cost, counting aiy work as editer nothing. The Log Cab was but an incident, a feature of the canvass. Briefly, we Whigs took the lead, and kept it throughout. Our opponents struggled manfully, desperately ; but wisid and tide were against them. Tl.cv had campa:gn and other papers, and j good speakers, and large meetings;; but we were far ahead ot them in j singing, and in electioneering em blems and mottoes which appealed to t Eopular sympathies. The elections j eld next after the Harrisburg nomi- i nations were locl, but they all went j our way; and the State elections which soon followed amply confirmed their indications. In September, Maine held her State election, find ; chose the Whig candidate for Gov- '. ernor (Kdward Kent), by a small niljority, button a very full vote. The ' Democrats did not concede his election till after the vote for President, ia November. Pennsylvania, in Oe- i tober, gave a small Democratic mai ir- t icy; but we insisted that it could be ovcrecmo when we came to vote for Harrison; and it was. In October, Ohio, Indiana, and Georgia, all gave decisive Harrison majorities, rendering the great result morally certain. Yet, when the choice of the Presidential electors was ascertained, even the most sanguine among us were astounded Ly the completeness of our triumph. We had given Gen. Harrison the electoral votes of all but the seven States of New Hampshire, Virgiuia, South Carolina. Alabama, Illinois, Missouri, and Arkansas CO in all whi'e our candidate had 231; making his the heaviest mnjority by which any President had ever been chosen. New York, where each party had done its best, had been carried for him i y l'i -2: majority; but Gov. Sewird had beeu ro elected by only 5.310. With any other candidate for President, he could scarcely have escaped de'eat. U:i the lUtu day ot April, lf!41-a i day of most unseasonable chill, and ' sleer, md snow oar city heid her i . r 1 1 - J . ! gr(ai lunerai paraue uuu pagem; in honor oi our lost President, who I ad died six days before. Gen. Hubert . licgardu, the venerable Grand Marshal of the parade, d;cd not long afterward of exposure to its inclemencies. On that leaden, fuueral morning, the most inhospitably of the year, I issued the first number of the New York Tribune. It was a small sheet, for it was to be retailed for a cent, and sot much of a newspaper

could be afforded for that price, even in those specie-paying times. I had been incited to this enterprise bysev ral Whig friends, who deemed a cheaf daily, addressed more especially to the laboring class, eminently needed in our city, where the only two cheap journals then and still existing the Hun and the Herald were in decided, though unavowed, jnd therefore more effective, sympathy and affiliation with the Demo

cratic party, lwo or three had promised pecuniary aid if it should be needed; only one (Mr. James Co geshall, long since deceased) ever made good that promise, by loaning me $1,000, which was duly and gratefully repaid, principal and interest. I presume others would have helped me had I asked it; but I never did. Mr. Dudley S. Gregory, who had voluntary loaned me $1,000, to sustain the Kern-Yorker, in the very darkest hour of my fortunes, in 1837, and whom I had but recently repaid, was among my most trusted friends in the outset of my new enterprise, also; but I was able to prosecute it with out taxing (I no longer needed to test) his generosity. My leading idea was the establishment of a journal removed alike from servile partisanship on the one hand and from gagged, mincing neutrality on the other. Party spirit is so fierce and intolerant in this country that the editor of a non-partisan sheet is restrained from saying what he thinks and feels on the most vital, imminent topics; wh:le, on the other hand, a Democratic, Whig, ot Republican, journal is generally expected to praise or blame, like or dislike, eulogize or condemn, in precise accordance with the views aud iuterest of its party. I believed there was a happy medium between these extremes a position from which a journalise might openly ana heartily advocate the principles aud commend the measures of that party to which his convictions allied him, yet dissent frankly from its couse on a particular question, and even denounce its candidates if they were shown to be deficient .in capacity, or far worse in integrity. I felt that a journal thus loyal to its guiding convictions, yet ready to expose and condemn unworthy conduct or incidental error on the part of men attached to its party, must be far more effective, even party-wise, than though it might always be counted on to applaud or reprobate, bless or curse, as tne party's prejudices or immediate interest might seem to prescribe. Especially by the Whigs who were rather the loosely aggregated, maiuly undisciplined opponents of . a great party, than, in the stricter sense, a party themselves did I feel that such a journal was consciously needed, and should be fairly sustained. I had been a pretty constant and copious contributor (generally unpaid) to nearly or quite every cheap Whig journal that had, from time to time, been started in our city; most of them to fail after a very brief and not particularly bright career; but one The irnc York Whig, which was, throughout most rf its existence, under the dign:fied and conscientious direction of Jacob 13. Moore, formerly of the Neio Hampshire Journal had been continued through two or three years. My familiarity with its history and management cave me confidence that the right sort of a cheap Whig journal would be enabled to live. I had been ten years in New York, was thirty years old, in full health and vigor, and worth, I presume, about $2,000, half of it in printing materials. The Jefftrsonian , and still more the Log Cabin, had made me favorably known to many thousands of those who were most likely , to take such a paper: as I proposed to niaKe tne Jriuune; while (he New-Yorker had given me some literary standing and the reputation of a useful and well-informed compiler of election returns. In short, I was in a better position to undertake tho establishment of a daily newspaper than the grat mass of those who try it and fail, as most who make the venture do and must. I presume the new journals (in English) since started in this city u umber not less than one hundred, whereof biireiy two The Timtt and Tlie World can be fairly said to be still liviug: and The World is a niuuo'euro wherein the remains of 'The Evuing fttar. The American and The C urur and Ehquirer, lie inurned; these having long ago swallowed sundry of their predecessors. Yet several of those which have meantime lived their little hour and passed away, were conducted by men of decided ability and ripe experience, and were backed by a pecuniary capital at least twenty times greater than the fearfully inadequate sum whereon I started the Tribune. On the intellectual side, my venture was not so rare as it seemed. My own fifteen years' devotion to newspaper-making, in all its phases, was worth far more than will be sever illy supposed: and I had already secured a first assistant in Mr. Henry J. Raymond, who having for two years, while in college at Burlington, Vt., been a valued contributor to tl,e lite -nry side of The Nev? Yisrker had hied to the city directly upon gracbi it, in?, ln'e iu 1S40, and gladly accepted my offer o hire him at $8 per w.--k until he could do better. I had not much for himto do till the Tribune was started; then I had enough and I never foun aether person, barely o' age and justTrom his studies who evinced so :ruch and so versatile ability in journalism ns he did. Abler and stronger men I may have met; a cleverer, readier. mor generally efficient journalist I never saw. lie remained with me eight years, if my

memory serves, and is the only assistant with whom I ever felt required to remonstrate for doing more work than any human brain and frame could be expected long to endure. His salary was of course gradually increased from time to time; but his services were more valuable in proportion to their cost tl.iu those of any oce else who ever worked on the Tribune. Mr. George M. Snow, a friend of my old age, who had considerable mercantile experience, took charge of the Financial and Wall Street department (then far less important than it now is), and retained it for more than twenty-two years; becoming ultimately a heavy stockholder in and a trustee of" the concern ; resigning his trust only when (in 18'i3) he departed for Europe iu ill health; returning but to die two years later. A large majority of those who aided in preparing or in issuing the first number had preceded or have followed Mr. Snow to the Silent Land; but two remain, and are now Foreman and Engineer respectively in the Printing department both stockholders and trustees. Others, doubtless, survive who were with us then, but have tons: since drifted away to the West, to the Pacific slope, or into some other employment, and the places that once knew them know them no more. Tweuty-six years witness many changes, especially iu a city like ours, a position like mine; and I believe that the only man who was Editor of a New York daily before me, and who still remains suoh, is Mr. Jnmes Gordon Bennett, of the Ilera d. About five hundred names of sub scribers had already been obtained tor the Tribune maiuly by warm personal and political friends Noah Cook and James Coggeshall before its first issue, whereof I printed 5.000, and nearly succeeded in giving away all of them that would not sell. I bad type, but no presses, and so had to hire my press-work done by the "token;" my folding and mailing must have staggered me but for the circumstance that I had few papers to mail and not very many to fold. The lack of the present machinery of railroads and expresses was a grave obstacle to the circulation of my paper outside of the city's suburbs; but I think its paid-for issues were 2,000 at the close of the first week.and that ti ey increased pretty steadily, at the rate of 500 per week, till they reached 10,000. My current expenses for the first week were about $525; my receipts ?92; and, though the outgoes steadily, inevitably increased, the income increased in a still larger ratio, till it nearly balanced the former.

But I was not made for a publisher ; indeed, no man was ever qualified at once to edit and to publish a daily paper such as it must be to live in these times; and it was not until Mr. Thomas McElrath whom I had barely known as a member of the publishing firm over whose store I first set type in this city, but who was now a lawyer in good standing and practice made' me a voluntary and wholly unexpected proffer of partnership in my still struggling but hopeful enterprise, that it might be considered fairly on its feet. He offered to invest $2,000 as an equivalent to whatever I had in the business, and to devote his time and energies to its management, on the basis of perfect equality in ownership and in sharing the proceeds. This I very gladly accepted; and from that hour nay load was palpably lightened. During the ten years or over that the Tribune was issued by Greeley & McElrath, my partner never once even indicated that my anti-slavery, antihanging, socialist, and other frequent aberratioas from the straight and narrow path, of Whig; partisanship, were iniurious to our common inter est, though he must often have sorely felt that they were so; and toever, except when I (rarely) drew, from the common treasury more money than could well be spared, in order to help some needy friend whom he judged beyond help, did he even look grieved at anything I did. Onhe other hand, his business management of the concern, though never bri.liant nor specially energetic, was o safe and judicious that it gave me no trouble, and scarcely required of me a thought during that long era of all but unclouded prosperity. The transition from my four preceding years of incessant p cuniary anxiety, if not absolute embarrassment, was like escaping from the dungeon and the rack to freedom and sympathy. Henceforth, such pecuniary troubles as I encountered were the just penalties of my own folly in endorsing notes for persons who, in the nature of things, could not rationally be expected to pay them. But thee penalties are not to be evaded by those who, soon after entering responsible life, "go into business." as the phrase is, when it is inevitable that they must thereby b involved iu debt. He who starts on the basis of dependence on his own proper resources, resolved to extend his business no further and no faster than his means will justify, may fairly refu-e to lend what he needs in his own operations, or to endorse for others when he asks no one to endorse for him. But you cannot Hsk favors, and then churlishly revise to gr?r any borrow, and then frowa upon whoever asks you to lend seek e,n"4.irseiiieiits, but dec'itte tu give any; and so lite idle, the prodigal, the dissolu'e, with the thousands foredoomed by their own defects of capacity, of indssfry, jr of manage-J ment, to cnronic Danerupicy, live pon the earnings offjftie capable, thrifty, and provtdent. Better wait five years to go into business upon adequate means, which are properly your own, than to rush in prenjtfure-

i lv. trusting to loans, endorsements

and the forbearance of creditors to i help vou through. I have squandered I much hard earned money in trying to help others, who were already past help, when 1 not only might, hut "should, have saved most of it, it had never, needing help, sought and received it. As it is, I trust that my general obligation has been fully discahrs'ed. T.he Tribune, as it first appeared, was but the germ ot what 1 sought to make it. No journal sold for a cent could ever be more than a dry sum mary of the most important or the most interesting occurrences of the day; and such is not a newspaper, in the higher sense of the term. We need to know not only what is done, but wnat is purposed ana saia, oy tnosc who sway the destinies of States and realms; and, to this end, the prompt perusal ot the manifestoes ot monarchs, presidents, ministers, legislators, etc , is indispensible. No man is even tolerably informed in our day who does not regularly "' keep the run " of events and opinions, through the daily perusal of at least one good journal; and the ready cavil that " no one can read" all that a great modern journal contains, only proves the ignorance or thoughtlessuess of the caviler. No one person is expected to take such an interest in the rise and fall of stocks, the markets for cotton, cattle, grain, and goods, the proceedings gf Congress, Legislatures and Courts, the politics of Europe, and the ever-shifting phases of Spanish-American anarchy, etc., etc., as ' would incite him to a daily perusal of the entire contents of a metropolitan city journal of the first rardc. The idea is rather to embody iu a single sheet the information daily required by all those who aim to keep "posted" on all important occurrences; so that the lawyer, the merchant, the banker, the forwarder, the econpmist, the author, the politician, etc., may find her? whatever he needs to see, and be spared the trouble of looking elsewhere. A copy of a great morning journal now contains more matter than an average 12uio volume, and its production costs far more, while it is sold for a fortieth or fiftieth part of the volume's price. There is no other miracle of cheapness in comparison with its cost which at all approaches it. The Electric Telegraph has precluded the multiplication of journals in the great cities, by enormously increasing the cost of publishing each of them. The Tribune, for example, now pays more than $100,000 per annum, for intellectual labor (reporting included) in and about its office, and $100,000 more for correspondence and telegraphing in other word3 for cpllecting and transmitting news. And, while its income has been largely increased from year to year, its expenses have inevitably been swelled even more rap diy; so that, at the close of I860, in which its receipts had been over 900,000, its expenses had been very nearly equal in amount, leaving no profit beyond a fair rent for the premises it owned and occupied. And yet its stockholders were satisfied that they had done a good business that the increase in the patronage and va'ue of the establishment amounted to a fair interest on their investment, and might well be accepted in lieu of a dividend. In thegoodtime coming, with cheaper paper and less exorbitant charges for " cable dispatches " from the Old World, they will doubtless reap where they have now faithfully sown. Yet they realize and accept the fact tlyat a journal radically hostile to the gainful arts whereby the cunning and powerful few live sumptuously without useful labor, and often amass wealth, by pandering to lawless sensuality and popular vice, can never hope to enrich its publishers so rapidly and so vastly as though it had a soft side for the liquor traffic, and for all kindred allurements to carnal appetite and sensual indulgence. Fame is a vapor; popularity an accident; riches take wings; the only earthly certainty is oblivion no man can foresee what a day may bring forth; and those who cheer to-day will often curse to-morrow ; and yet I cherish the hope that the journal I projected" and established will live and flourish long after I shall have mouldered into forgo'tten dusf, being guided by a larger wisdom, a more unerring sagacity to discern the right, though not by a more unfaltering readiness to embrace and defend it at whatever personal cost; and that the stone which covers my ashes may bear to future eyes the stilt intelligible inscription, "Founder of the New York Tribune."
