THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
\ EW NOLU VI +.

On the seventh of September, 1851. THE
NETWORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE COM
mcnced the twenty first year of its existence
THE DAILY TRlBTNE being some months
older, and THE SEMI WEEKLY TRIBUNE
somewhat younger. For more than twenty
years this journal has laborcd in what its CON
ductors have felt to be the cause of Humanity
Justice and Freedom, cndeayoring to melior,,te
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 rath
or than popular, and to espouse and commend
to-day the truth that others may not he 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 blndlv our own or
others conclusions, We believe We may fairly
claim for this journal the credit of having
quail fled its readers Ia detect and expose even
Its own errors. To develop the minds of the
young 10y the most general, thorough and prac
teal Education and to encourage aud stimulate
Productive Industry, through free grants of
Public Lands to actual settlers aud cultvators,
as also through the protection of immature or
peculiarly exposed branches from too powerful
foreign competition, are among the aims to
and evil report. and which it stcalfa>tly com

As To the Civil War now devastating our
country, we hold 1t to have originated in Re
bellion more wauton, wicked inexeusable, than
was ever before Known rebellion in the in
tcrests of the few against the many--a Rebel
lion designed To raise higher the walls of caste
and tighten the chains Of oppression. Having

principle 10 avoid this War, and witnessed the
iorbearance, Weakness. and long suffering with
which the Federal Government sought Ia avert
its horrors, We hold IL our clear duty, with that
of every other citizen, TO stand 10y the nation
and its fairly chosen rulers, and to second with
all our energies their efforts TO NJ hold the Union
the Constitution, and the supremacy of the
Laws. And. though the rebellion has become
through usurpation. deception, terrorism, aud
spohation, fcarlully strong We believe the
American 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. the
duration, of this most extraordinary contest, we
defer TO those whom the American People have
clothed with authority. holding unity of pur-
pose and of action indispensable in So gravean
emergency.
In crisis like the present, our columns must
he largely engrocsed with the current history of
the war for the Union. and with calculations of
its more striking incidents. We shall not how
ever, remit that attention to Literature, tn For

Markets, &c, &c. which has already. We trust

paper, from which 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 tho contents of our journal
is perceptlhlc, and that, in the variety and full!
