NEW VOLUME.

On the seventh of September, 1861, THE
NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE COM
menced the twenty first year of its existence;
THE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
older and THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE
somewhat younger. For more than twenty
years, this Journal has labored in what its con-
ductors have felt to be the cause of Humanity,
Justice and Freedom. endeavoring to meliora.e
the condition Of the oppressed and unfortunate,
to honor and encourage useful exertion in what
ever 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 espouse and commend to-
day the truth that others may not be willing to
accept till to morrow. 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 themselves rather
than adopt blindly our own or others conclu-
sions, 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 commends to American patriotism
and philanthropy.
As to the Civil War now devastating our
country, We hold it to have originated in Re-
bellion more wanton, wicked, insxcusable, than
was ever before knOwn-a Rebellion in the in
terests ofthe few against the many-a Rebellion
designed to raise higher the walls of caste and
tighten the chains Of oppression. Having done
ali we could without 4 surrender of vital prin-
ciple to avoid this War, and witnessed the for
bearance, meekness and long-sufering with
which the Federal Government sought to avert
its horrors, We hold it our clear duty, with that
of everv 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 ofthe Law.
And, though the Rebellion has become, through
usurpation, deception, terrorism and spoliation.
fearfully strong, we believe the American Re-
public far stronger, and that the unanimous,
earnest efforts ofloyal hearts and hands will in
sure its overthrow. But on all questions affect
ing the objects, the scope, and duration Of this
most extraordinary contest, we defer to those
| whom the American People have clothed with
authority, holding unity Purpose and ofaction
indispensable in SO grave an emergency.
| In a crisis like the present, our columns must
be largely engrossed with the current history
of its more striking incidents. We shall not,
however, remit that attention to Literature, to
Foreign Affairs, to Agricultural Progress, to
| Crous. Markets, &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 comprehen-
siye newspaper, for which a careful reader may
CLEAN a 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 full
ness Of intelligence afforded. We may still hope
TO ,smake each day critic on the last" In this
hone, we solicit q continuance Of the generous
| measures of patronage hitherto accorded to our
Journal.
