NEW VOLUME.

On the seventh of September, 1861, THE
NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE COM
menced the twenty first year of its existence;
THE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
older and THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE
somewhat younger. For more than twenty
years, this Journal has labored in what its con-
ductors have felt to be the cause of Humanity,
Justice and Freedom, endeavoring to meliorate
the condition of the oppressed and unfortunate,
to honor and encourage useful exertion in what
ever sphere, and, to promote BY all means the
moral, intellectual and material advancement
of our country. 1t has aimed to be right rather
than popular, and to espouse 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 blindly- our own or others conclu-
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 steadfastly commends to American patriotism
and philanthropy. = z
As to the Civil War now devastating our
country, we hold it to have originated in Re-
belIion more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, than
was ever before known-a Rebellion in the in
terests 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 we could without q surrender of vital prin
ciple 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 every other citizen, to stand BY the nation
and its fairly chosen rulers, and to second with
all our energies their efforts to uphold the Union,
the Constitution, and the supremacy the Law.
And, though the Rebellion has become, through
usurpation, deception, terrorism and spoliation.
fearfully 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, aud duration Of this
most extraordinary contest, we defer to those
whom the American People have clothed with
authority, holding unity ofpurpose and ofaction
indispensable in so grave an emergency.
In 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, remi. 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 PRODUCES comprehen-
sive newspaper, for which careful reader may
CLEAN vivid and faithful history of the times,
not merely in the domain of Action but in that
of Opinion also. As our facilities for acquiring
information increase with years. We trust that
an Improvement in the contents Of our journal
is perceptible, and that, in the variety and full.
ness Of intelligence afforded, We may still hope
to snake each day critic on the last" In this
hope, we solicit continuance OF. the generous
measures Of patronage hitherto accorded. to our
journal. ~ tyU -Fr n
