NEW-YORK TRIBUNE-NEw VOLUME.
On the seventh of September, 1861 THE
NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE CONNIE need tbe
twenty first year of its existence the THE DAI-
LY TRIBUNE being come months older andTHR
SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE somewhat younger
For more than twenty years, this journal ha. IA
bored in what its conductors have felt TO be the
cause of Humanity, Justice and Freedom, endesY-
oring 10 meliOrate the condition of the oppressed
and unfortunate, to honor and encourage useful
exertion in whatever sphere, and, to promote By
all means the moral, intellectual and materia Al ad-
YaDcement OF our country. 1t has aimed 70 be
right rather than popular. and To espUuse and
commend to-day the truth that others may not bS
willing to accept till tomorrow. In pur..ins
this course, mistakes have doubtless been msds
and faults committed but, having in all things
melted our readers 10 think and Judge for them
selves rather than adopt blindly our own or 9th
ers' conclusions, we believe we may fairly claim
for this journal the credit of having qualified is
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 10
encourage and stimulate Productive Industry,
through free grants of Public Lands TO actual set
tiers and cultlYators. as also through the prOfee
tion of immature or peculiarly exposed branches
from too powerful foreign competition, are among
the aims to which this journal has adhered
through goGd and evil report, and which tstead-
fastly commends to American patriotism and
philanthropy.
As to the Civil War now devastating our eOup-
try, we hold it to have originated in Rebellion
more Wanton. wicked, ineXcuSable. then wac cY
er before known-a Rebellion in tho interest u
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 10 avoid
this War and witnessed the forbearance, meek
ness and long suffering with which the Federal
Government sought to avert its horrors. We hold
1t our clear duty, with that of every other clIen
TO stand by the nation and its fairly chosen rg-
lers, and to second with all our energies their ei
forts to uphold the Union, the Constitution, and
the supremacy of the laws. And, though the Re
bellion has become, through usurpation deception,
terroism, and spoilation, fearfully strong. we be-
lieve the American Republic far stronger, and
that the unanimous, earnest efforts 0f loyal hearts
and hands will insure its overthrow. But or al
questions affecting the objects. the scope and du-
ration of this most extraordinary contest, we de-
fer to those whom the American People have
clothed with authority, holding unity Of purPose
and of action Indispensable in so grave an smer-
gency
In crisis like the present, our columns unii
be largely engrossed with the current history o.
the War for the Union, and with calculations Q!
its more striking incidents. We shall not, how
ever, remit that attention to Literature TO feI-
eign Affairs, TO Agricultural Progress, to CropH
Markets, DC. which has already, we trust won iof
THE TRIBUNE an honorable position among US
cotemporaries. Our main object is and shsli Oe
TO produce a comprehensive newspaper iIOH
which careful reader may CLEAN vivid An1
faithful history of the times not merely in the 40
main of Action but in that of Opinion also. A'
our facilities for acquiring information ineTeS's
with years, we trust that improvement IN u.
contents of our journal is perceptible, and ms
in the variety and fulness of intelligence snole
ed, we may still hope TO make each day eill'
on the last" In this hope, solicit eontl.s
ance of the generous measure of patronage liz
erto accorded to our journal.
