In the Fall of 1837—years before the establishment of The Tribune—the October elections having developed a popular uprising against the Jackson-Van Buren dynasty, which had for ten years seemed invincible, I was moved to issue a POLITICAL REGISTER for 1838, intended mainly to embody the election returns of that year, and compare them with those of some preceding year. The reception of that little annual was such as to justify its reproduction for each succeeding year—that of 1842 only excepted—until the issue for 1868 completed a series of thirty Annual Registers of Election Returns, with other useful political and statistical matter. This annual has been known successively as The Politician's Register, Whig Almanac, and Tribune Almanac, under which last name it has been issued for several years past. The stereotyped plates of the earlier issues having been consumed in the fire which destroyed the Tribune Building in 1845, it has for some years past been impossible to procure full sets of the work at any rate, and the imperfect sets from time to time thrown upon the market have commanded fabulous prices.

The complete sets of the Register and Almanac are comprised in two neatly-bound volumes, and are now ready. Price, for the two volumes, $10.

Each order must be accompanied with the cash. Address

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.

The Paper of the People.

The Tribune aims to be pre-eminently a News-paper. Its correspondents traverse every State, are present on every important battle-field, are early advised of every notable Cabinet decision, observe the proceedings of Congress, of Legislatures, and of Conventions, and report to us by telegraph all that seems of general interest. We have paid for one day's momentous advices from Europe by Cable far more that our entire receipts for the issue in which those advises reached our readers. If lavish outlay, unsleeping vigilance, and unbounded faith in the liberality and discernment of the reading public, will enable us to make a journal which has no superior in the accuracy, variety, and freshness of its contents, The Tribune shall be such a journal.

To Agriculture and the subservient arts, we have devoted, and shall persistently devote, more means and space than any of our rivals. We aim to make The Weekly Tribune such a paper as no farmer can afford to do without, however widely his politics may differ from ours. Our reports of the Cattle, Horse, Produce, and General Markets, are so full and accurate, our essays in elucidation of the farmer's calling and our regular reports of the Farmers' Club and kindred gatherings, are so interesting, that the poorest farmer will find therein a mine of suggestion and Counsel, of which he cannot remain ignorant without positive and serious loss.

AS A FAMILY NEWSPAPER, THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE is pre-eminent. In addition to Reviews, Notices of New Books, Poetry, &c., we publish Short Stories, original or selected, which will generally be concluded in a single issue, or at most in two or three. We intend that THE TRIBUNE shall keep in the advance in all that concerns the Agricultural, Manufacturing, Mining, and other interests of the country; and that, for variety and completeness, it remain altogether the most valuable, interesting and instructive NEWSPAPER published in the world.

No newspaper so large and complete as THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE was ever before offered at so low a price.
