When the new [[U.S. Republican Party, history|Republican Party]] was founded in 1854, Greeley suggested the name (as an echo of the Jeffersonian Republicans) and made the ''Tribune'' its unofficial national organ. He fought slavery extension and the slave power on every page. On the eve of the Civil War circulation nationwide approached 300,000.

His editorials and news reports explaining the policies and candidates of the Republican Party were reprinted and discussed throughout the country. Many small newspapers relied heavily on the reporting and editorials of the Tribune. He served as Congressman for three months, 1848--1849, but failed in numerous other attempts to win elective office. In 1860 he supported the conservative ex-Whig [[Edward Bates]] of Missouri for president, an action that weakened Greeley's old ally Seward.<ref>Van Dusen 241-44</ref>
