NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
NEW VOLUME.

On the seventh of September, 1861, THE
menced the twenty-frst 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 conductors
have felt to be the cause of Humanity, Justice
and Freedom, endevoring to mellorate the con-
dition of the oppressed and unfortunate, to hon
or and encourage useful exerton in whatever
sphere, and, to promote by all means the moral,
country. 1t has aimed to be right rather than
popular. and to espouse and commend to-day
the truth that others NAV not be willing to ac-
cent 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 themselves rather
than adopt blndly our own or others conclu-
sions, we believe we may fairly claim for this
journal the credit of having qualified its readers
70 detect and expose even its own errors To
deyelop the minds of the young by The most gen.
eral, 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 branch
es from too powerful foreign competition, are
among the aims to which this journal has ad-
hered through good and evil report. and which it
steadfastly commends to American patriotism
and philanthropy.
As to the Civil War now devastating our coun-
try, we hold it to have originated in Rebellion
more wantOn, wicked. ineXcusable. than was ev-
or 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 surrender of vital principle to avoid
fnrl,
ness. 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 rI-
lers, and 10 second with all our 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 spollatlon. fearfully
strong, we believe the American Republic far
stronger, and that the unanimous. earnest eff
forts Of loyal hearts and hands will insure Its
overthrow. But ON all questions affecting the
objects. the scope, and duration of this most eA-
traordinarv contest, we defer to those whom the
Amer lean People Lave clothed with authority
holding unity Of purpose and of action indispen-
sable in grave an emergency.
In a crisis like tue present, our columns must
be largely engrossed with the current history OF
the War for the mon, and with clucdations Of
