For more than twenty years, this journal has labored
In what Its conductors have felt to be the OF
Humanity, Justice and Freedom, endeavoring to
meliorate the condition Of the I'D unfortu-
nate, to honor and useful exeron In what
ever sphere and. TO promote by all the moral,
intellectual and material advancement OF our coun-
Try. 1t has aimed to be right rather than popular,
andto espouse and commend to-da y the truth that
others may not be willing to accept till to. morrow
made and faults committed; but, having In all things
melted readers to think and Judge for themselves
sons believe may fairly claim for this journal
the credit OF having qualified its readers to detect
and expose even its To develop the minds
OF the young by the most general thorough and prac
teal Education, andt encourage and stimulate Pro-
ductve Industry through free grants of Public Lands
protection of immature or peculiarly expose bra nch-
es from too powerful foreign competition are among
the aims to which this journal has adhered through
good and evil report, and which II steadfastiy COM
nends to American patriotism and philanthropy.
AS to the Civil War now devastating our country,
we hold II to have originated in Rebellion more
wanton, wicked, inexcusable, then 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
hearance, meekness, and long-suTering with which
the Federal Government sought toavert its horrors,
we hold It our clear duty, with that of every other
Citizen to stand by the nation and It's fairly chosen
rulers and to second with all energies their eff
forts to uphold the Union, the Constitution and the
supremacy Of the Laws. And though the Rebellion
has become, through usurpaton, deception, terror
ism and spoilation, fearfully strong, believe the
American Republic far stronger and that the una ni-
nous, earnest efforts Of loyal hearts and hands win
insure its overthrow But on all questions affecting
the objects, the scope, and duration Of this
traordinary contest, defer to those whom the
American People have clothed with authority, hold
ing unity OF purpose ard Of action ndsp ensable in
so grave emergency.
In a crisis like the present, our columns must be
largely eHgrossed with the history the War
for the Union, and with calculations of its more str
king incidents. We shall not, however, remit that
attention TO Literature, to Foreign Affairs, to Agr-
has already, we trust, wen for THE TRIBUNE an
position among its contemporaries. Our
main object is and shall he 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 0pin-
ion Also As our facilities for obtaining information
increase with years, we trust that improve In
in the variety and fuiiness Of Intelligence aft aforded
last" In this hope, we solicit continuance of the
our journal.
