The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1861-10-31
The New York Tribune
NEW VOLUME.

ON the seventh of September, 1861, THE NEW
" YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE commenced the
twenty first year of its existence; THE DAILY
TRIBUNE being some months older and TUE
SEM1-WEEKLY TRIBUNE somewhat younger.
For more than twenty years, this journal has
labored in what its conductors have felt to be the
cause of Humanity, Justice and Freedom, en-
deavoring to meliorate the condition of the op-
pressed and unfortunate, to honor and encourage
useful exertion in whatever sphere, and, to pro-
mote by all means the moral, intellectual and ma
terial 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 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 blndly our own or others
conclusions, 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 cultivators. 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 com
mends to American patriotism and philanthropy
As to the Civil War now devastating our country
we hold 1t to have originated in Rebellion more
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 we could without
surrender of vital principle to avoid this War, and
witnessed the fOrbearance, meekness, and long
suffering with which the Federal Government
sought to avert its horrors, we hold it our cleal
duty with that of every other citizen to stand by
the nation and its fairly chosen rulers, and tc
second with all our energies their efforts to upholc
m INT nd flaS
the Laws. And, though the Rebellion has become
through 'usurpation, deception, terrorism anC
spoliation fearfully strong, we believe the Ameri
can Republic far stronger, and that the unanimous
efforts of loyal hearts and hands will insure
Its overthrow. But on all questions affecting the
objects, the scope, and duration of this most ex
traordinary contest, We defer to those whom the
American People have clothed with authority
o'ding unity of purpose and of action indispen
sible In so grave an emergency
In crisis like the present, our columns mus
be largely engrossed with the current history O
the War for the Union, and with calculations O
its more striking incidents We shall not however
remit that attention to Literature, to Foreign
Affairs, to Agricultural Progress, to Crops Mar
kets, &C., &c, which has already, we trust, wor
for THE TRIBUNE an honorable position among
its contemporaries. Our main object is and shall
be to produce comprehensive newspaper, from
which a careful reader may CLEAN vivid and
faithful history of the times not merely in the
our facilities for acquiring information increase
with years, we trust that improvement in the
contents of our Journal is perceptbe, and that il
the variety and fulness of intelligence afforded
we may still hope to make each day a critic or
the last" In this hope, we solicit continuance
of the generous measure of patronage hitherto
accorded to our journal.
