The New York Tribune.
NEW VOLUME.

On the seventh of September, 1861, THE
NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE CON-
menced the twenty-frst year of its existence;
THE DAILY TRIBUNE heing some months
older and THE SEMI-WEEKLY, TRIBUNE
somewhat Younger. For more than twenty
years. this journal has labored in what its con-
ductors hive felt to be the cause of Humanity,
Justice and Freedom. endeavoring to meliora.e
the condition Of the 0ppcessed and unfortunate,
to honor and encourage useful cxertion in what
ever sphere, and, TO promote by all means the
moral, intellectual and material advancement
Of our county. 1t has aimed to be right rather
than popular, and to espousc and commend to-
day the truth that others may not be willing to
accept till to morrow. In pursuing this course,
mistakes have doubtless been made and faults
committed; but, having in all things melted our
readers to think and Judge for themselves rather
than adopt blndly our own or Others concu-
sions. We believe We may fairly claim for this
journal the credit of having qualified its readers
To detect and expose even its own errors. To
develop the minds of the young by the most
general, thorough and practical Education, and
to encourage and stimulate Productive Industry,
through free grants of Public Lands to actual
settlers and cuitivators, as also through the pro-
lection of immature or peculiarly exposed
branches from too powerful foreign competition,
are among the aims to which this journal has
adhered through good and evil report, and which
it steadf,stiy commends to American patriotism
and philanthropy.
As to the Civil War now devastating our
country, we hold it to have originated in Re-
he,lon more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, than
was ever before kno VIA Rebellion in the in
terests of the few against the manr-a Rebellion
designed to raise higher the walls Of caste and
tighten the chains Of oppression. Having done
nc teal
cipie to avoid this War, and witnessed the for
bearance, meekness and long suffering with
which the Federal Government sought to avert
its horrors, we hold il our clear duty, with that
OF evcrv other citizen, to stand by the nation
and its fairly chosen rulers, and to second with
all our energies their efforts to uph Did the Union
the Constitution, and the supremacy ofthe Law.
And, though the Rebellion has become, through
usurpation, deception, terrorism and spoliation.
fearfnlly strong, we believe the American Re-
public far stronger, and that the unanimous,
earnest efforts of loyal hearts and hands will in
sure its overthrow. But on all questions affect
ing the objects, the scope, and duration Of this
most extraordinary contest, we defer to those
whom the American People have clothed with
authority, holding unity ofpurpose and ofac.ion
indispensable in so grave an emergency.
In a crisis like the present, our columns must
be largely engrossed 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 to Literature, to
Foreign Affairs, 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 a comprehen-
sive newspaper, for which careful reader may
CLEAN vivid and faithful history Of the times,
,,at IN the IF ctinn hnt IN that
of Opinion also. As our facilities for acquiring
information increase with years, We trust shat
an improvement in the contents of our journal
is perceptibe, and that, in the variety and full,
ness OF intelligence afforded, we may still hope
to "make each day critic on the last" In this
hope, We solicit q, continuance Of the generous
measures of patronage hitherto accorded to our
Journal.
