THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
NEW VOLUME.

On the 7th Of September, TEE NEW YoRK WEEKLY
TRIBUNE commenced the first year of It's exist
ence; Tn. DAILY TsIsgsE being some months Older
For than twenty years, isjourDal has abored
In what its conductors have felt to be the cause Of
Humanity, Justice and Freedom, endeavoring "a
meorate the condition of the oppressed and unfortu
nate honor and encourage useful exertion In wha
sphere, and, to promote by all means the moral
Intellectual and material advancement Of our coun
try. It las aimed TO be right rather than popular
and TO espouse and commend to-day the ruth that
others may not be willing to accept till tomorrow
In pursuing this mistakes have doubtless been
made and faults committed but, having In all things
melted readers to think and judge for thems
rather than adopt bindy our own or Others conclu
sions, believe may fairly claim for this journal
the credit Of having qualified its readers to detect
and expose even Its own errors To develop the min
teal Education and to encourage and stimulate Pro-
ductive Industry, through free grants Of Public Lands
to actual settlers and culvatos also through the
protection Of imm peculiarly exposed branch
es from too powerful foreign competition are among
the aims to which this Journal has adhered through
good and evil report, and which IL steadfasty
nenis to American patriotism and philanthropy
As to the Civil War now devastating our country
we hold IL to have originated in a Rebellion more
wanton, wicked inexcnsable, then as ever before
known-a Rebellion In the interest OF the few against
the many-a Rebellion designed to raise higher the
walls Of caste and tighten the chains Of oppression
Having done all could without surrender of vital
principle to avoid this War; and witnessed the for
bearance, meekness, and long-sufering with which
the Federal Government sought toavert its horrors
y,
citizen to stand by the nation and It's fairly chosen
rulers, and to second with all energies their ef
forts to uphold the Union the Constitution and the
supremacy of the Laws. And, though the Rebellion
has become through usurpation, deception, terror
ism and spoilaton fearfully strong we believe the
American Republic far stronger and that the una
NOUS 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
traordinary contest, defer to those whom the
American People have clothed with authority hold
ing unity OF purpose ard Of action indispensable in
grave an emergency.
In crisis like the present our columns must .e
largely eHgrossed with the cnrren history Of the
for the Union and with calculations of its more str-
king incidents: We shall not, however, remit that
attention TO Literature, to Foreign Affairs, Agri-
cultural Pre- gress, to Crops Markets, Ac &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 comprehen-
sive newspaper, frem which careful reader may
CLEAN vivid and faithful picture Of the times, not
merely in the domain of Action but in that of Opin-
ion also. As facilities for obtaining information
Increase with years, we trust that improv in
the contents of our journal is percepibe, and that
In the variety and fullness Of intelligence afforded
We may still hope to "make each day critic on the
last" In this hope solicit continuance of the
generous measure Of patronage hitherto accorded to
our journal.
