THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
NEW VOLUME.

On the seventh of September, 1861, THE
NETWORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE COM
| menced the twenty first year of its existence !;
THE DAILY TRIBTNE 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 ri ht rath
er than popular, and to espouse 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 and
faults committed but, having in all things
| melted our readers to think and Judge for them
selves rather than ADOPT blindly our own or
others conclusions, we believe We may fairly
| claim for this journal the credit of having
quail fled its readers to detect and expose even
| its own errors. To develop the minds of the
young by the most general, thorough and prac-
| teal Education and to encourage and stimulate
| Productive Industry, through free grants of
| Public Lands TO actual settlers and culuvators,
as also through the protection 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 steadtastly com
mends to American patriotism and phllanthro-
py.
AS to the Civil War now devastating our
country, we hold it to have originated in Re-
bellion more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, than
was ever before known-a rebellion in the in
tcrests of the few against the many-a Rebel
| lion designed TO raise higher the walls of caste
and tighten the chains of oppression. Having
done all We could without surrender of vital
principle to avoid this War, and witnessed the
| forbearanee, Weakness. 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. to stand 10y the nation
and its fnrly chosen rulers, and to second with
all energies their efforts TO w hold the Union,
the Constitution. and the supremacy of the
Laws. And, though the rebellion has become
through usurpation, deception, terrorism, and
spoiation, tearfully strong, We believe the
| American Republic far 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. the
duration, of this most extraordinar contest, We
| defer to those whom the American People have
clothed with authority, holding unity of pur-
pose and of action Indispensable in SO grave an
emergency.
In a crisis like the present, our columns must
be largely engroesed with the current history Of
the war for the L MON. and with calculations o.
its more striking incidents We shall not, how
ever, remit that attic ntion to Literature, TO For
eign Affairs, 10 Agricultural Progress To Crops,
Markets, dc. dc, which has already, we trust.
