THE NBW-YORK TRIBUNE.

NEW VOLUME On the seventh OF Septem-
ber 1861, THE NETWORK WEEKLY TRIB-
UNE commenced the t~enty-first year Of its exis-
tence: THE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
older and the SEMI WEEKLY TRIBUNE some
what younger For more than twenty years, this
journal has abored in what its conductors have felt
to be the cause of Humanity, Justice and Free
DOM endesvoring to meiorate the condition Of the
oppressed and unfortunate, TO honor and
courage useful exerton in whatever 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 es-
pouse and commend to-day the truth that Others
may not be willing to ACCEPT till tomorrow. Ia
pursuing tiis course, mistakes have doubtless been
made and 3aalts committed but, having in all
things inciced readers to think and judge for
themselves rather than adopt blindly 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 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 set
tiers and cultiyators, also through the protec-
ton Of immature OF peculiarly exposed branches
troln too powerful foreign competition, and among
the aims to which this journal has adhered through
good and evil report, and which it steadfasty COM
mendS to American patriotism and philanthropy.
AS 70 the Civil War now devastating our coun-
try, we hold it to have originated in Rebellion
more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, than was ever
before known-a Rebellion in the interests of the
few against the many-a Rebellion designed to
raise higher the walls Of caste and tighten the
chains of oppression. Having done al we could
wthou. a surrender of vital principles 10 avoid this
War; and witnessed the foTbearance, 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 nauon and its fairly chosen rulers, and to
ond with all energies their efforts to uphold the
Union, the Constitution, and the supremacy of
the Laws And, though the Rebellion has become,
through usurpation, deception, terrorism, and
spoHation, fearlully strong, believe the Amer-
Requisite lar 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, and duration Of this most ex-
traordinary contest, we defer to those whom the
American People have clothed with authority,
holding unity of purpose and Of action indispen-
sable in so grave an emergency.
In crisis like the present. our columns must be
Iarpclv en-roSsed with the current history Of the
War for-tns Union, ana with calculations OF its
more striking incidents. We shall not, however,
remit that attention to Literature, &c Foreign At
fairs to Agricultural Progress, to Crops, Markets,
&c, &c, which has already, trust, won for
| THE TRIBUNE an honorable position among its
contemporaries. Our main object is and shall be 10
produce comprehensive newspaper. from which a
careful reader may gain vivid aud faithful histo-
ry of the times, not merely in the domaine of Ac-
tion but in that OF Opinion also. As our facill-
lies Tor acquiring information increase with years.
we trust that an Improvement in the contents OF
journal is perceptbe, and that, in the variety
and fulaess OF intelligence afforded, may stiIl
hope to semake each day critic the last.'' In
this hope, we solicit continuance Of the generous
measure Of patronage hitherto accorded to our
| journal.
