NEW VOLUME.

I'm 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
SEMI-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-
deavorlng 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 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 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, 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 steadfasty COM
mends to American patriotism and philanthropy.
AS to the Civil War now devastating our country
we hold it to have originated in Rebellion more
wanton, wicked, nexcusable, then 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
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 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 of
the LAWS And thnuCh tho Rahallon haSh
through usurpation, deception, terrorism, and
spoliatlon, fearfuy strong, we believe the Ameri-
can 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, and duration of this most
traordinary contest, defer to those whom the
American People have clothed with authority,
holding unity of purpose and of action indispen-
sible 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,
remit that attention to Literature, to Foreign
Affairs to Agricultural Progress, to Crops, Mar
kets, &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 produce comprehensive newspaper, from
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 funess of intelligence afforded,
we may still hope to ''make each day critic on
the last" In this hope, we solicit a continuance
of the generous measure of patronage hitherto
accorded to our journal.
