qAE NnW-TORk TRIBUNE.

NEW VOLUME. On the seventh Of Septem
2er, 1861, THE NEW-RORK WEEKLY TRIB-
u NE commenced the twenty first year Of It's exis
tence: TIE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
older and the SEMI WEEKLY TRIBUNE some
what younger For more than twenty years. thus
journal has labored in what its conductors have fet
10 be the cause Of Humanity, Justice aud Free
dom, endeavoring 10 neliorate the condition OF the
oppressed and unfortunate, to honor and en-
courage useful exerion in whatever sphere, and, to
promote by All means the moral, intellectual and
material advancement Ot our country. IL has
aimed to be right rather than poputaf, and to es-
pouse and commend to-day the truth that others
may not be willing to ACCEPT till tomorrow. In
pursuing this course mistakes have doubtless been
made aud faults committed but, having in all
things melted our readers to think and Judge for
themselves rather than adopt blndly our own OF
others conclusions. we believe may fairly claim
for this journal the credit of having qualified its
readers TO detect and expose even its own errofs
TO develop the minds of the young by the most
general, thorough and practical Education, and 10
encourage and stimulate Productive industry,
through free grants of Public Lands to actual set
tiers and cultiyatoTs, also through the protee-
tion Of immature or peculiarly exposed branches
from too powerful foreign competitor, and among
the aims 10 which this journal has adhered through
good and evil report, and which it steadlastly
mepds TO American patriotism and philanthropy.
As 80 the Civil War now devastating our coun-
try, hold il have originated in q Rebellion
more wanton, wicked, inexcpkable, than was ever
ACiore kDown-a Rebellion i1 the interests of the
few against the many--a Rebellion designed to
raise higher the walls of caste and tighten the
chains of oppression. Having done al ne could
Withou: surrender of vital principles 10 avoid this
War, and witnessed the forbearance, meekness, and
long suffering with which the Federal Government
sought to avert its horrors, we hold it our clear
duty with that of every other citizen, 10 stand by
the and It's fairly chosen rulers, and to Sec
ond with all our energies their efforts to uphold the
Union, the Constitution, and the supremacy of
the Laws. And, though the Rebellion has become,
through usurpations deception, terrorism, and
SpoIlation fearfully strong, we believe the Ameri-
can Republic tar stronger, and that the unanimous
earnest efforts of loyal hearts and hands will insure
its overthrow. But on all questions affecting the
objects, the scope, and duration of this most ex-
traordinary contest, we defer to those whom the
American Peop'e have clothed with authority,
holding unity of purpose and CT action 'ndispen-
sable in so grave emergency.
In a crisis ike the present, our columns must be
largely sngrossed with the current history of the
War for the Union, and with calculations of its
more striking incidents. We shall not, however,
remit that attention Literature, to Foreign At
fairs TO Agricultural Progress, to Crops, Markets,
&c, &C., which has already, We trust, won for
THE TRIBUNE an honorable position among its
contemporaries. Our main object is and shall be to
produce comprehensive newspaper from which a
careful reader may gain vivid and faithful histo-
ry Of the times, not merely in the domaine Of Ac-
ton but in that OF Opinion also. AS our facill-
we trust that an Improvement in she contents OF
our journal is perceptibIe, and that, in The variety
and tuaess OF intelligence afforded, We may still
hope to ssmaKe each day critic on the last" In
this hope, solicit continuance of the generous
measure Of patronage hitherto accorded TO our
journal.
