vDHE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
NEW VOLUME.

On the seventh Of September 1861, the New
York WEEKLY TRIBUNE commenced the
twentv-frst year of its existence the DAILY
TRIBUNE being some months older and the
WEEKLY TRIBUNE mewhatyounger
For more than twenty years, this journal has
labored in what its conductors have felt to be
the cause of humanity, Justice and Freedom,
eudeavoring to meliorate the condition OF the
oppressed and unfortunate, to honor and en-
courage useful exerton in whatever sphere,
and to promote by all means the moral, intel
lectual, 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 will
ing to accept till tomorrow. In pursuing
this course, mistakes have doubtless been
made and faults committed, but have IN all
things melted our readers to think and judge
for themselves rather than adopt bHndly cur
own or Others conclusions, we believe we
may fairly claim for this journal the credit OF
having qualified its readers to detect and ex
pose even its errors. To envelope the minds
of the young by the most general, thorough
and practical Education, and 80 encourage
and stimulate Productive Industry through
free grants of Public Lands to actual settlers
and cutivators, as also the protection of i'm
mature 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 cOmmeuds to American patriotism
and philanthropy
AS to the Civil War no77 devastating our
country we hold it to have originated in
Rebellion more wanton, wicked, inexcusabie,
than was ever 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 we could without a surren-
der of principle to avoid this War; and wit
messed the forbearance, meeknesS 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 by the nation and its fairly chosen
rulers, and to second with all our energies
their efforts to uphold the Union, the Consti-
tuition and the supremacy of the laws. And,
though the Rebellion has become, through
usurpation, deception, terrorism, and spOila
tion, fearfully strong, We believe the Ameri
can Republic far stronger, and that the unan-
imous, earnest efforts Of loyal hearts and
hands will insure its overthrow. But on all
questions affecting the objects, the scope and
duration of this most extraordinary contest,
we defer to those whom the American PeO-
pie have clothed with authority, holding uni
ty of purpose and of action Indispensable in
so grave an emergency.
In q 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 4 Agricultural
Progress, TO Crops. Markets, &c, &c, which
has, already we trust won for THE TRIBUNE
an honorable position among its cOtempora-
ries. Our object is and shall be to produce a
comprehensive newspaper, from which care
full reader may CLEAN vivid and faithful his
tory 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 fuIness of intelligence
afforded we may still hope to make each
day a critic on the last" In this hope we So
licit q continuance of the generous measure
of patronage hitherto accorded to our jour-
nal.
