On the 18th of September, THK Npw veg, wrrr,x
TkiBuNa commenced the twenty first ear Of its exist
ence; THE DAILY TRBuNE being some months older
and The sEni-WEEELY TRIBUNE somewhat younger =
For more than twenty years. this jearual has laborea
in what its conductors have felt to be the cans. f
Humanity, Justice and Freedom, endeayorn to
meorae the condition Of the oppressed and unfortu
nate to honor and encourage useful exerton In what
ever sphere, and to promote by all means the moral
nI"iiee'ual ana material advancement Of our
try. 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 mstak have doubtless
made and faults committed but having In all things
melted our readers to think and Judge for themselves
rather than adopt blindy our 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 prac
ucai fdncahon, andfo encourage and stimulate Pro-
ducve Industry through free grants Of Public Lands
to actual settlers and cutivaors also through the
protection ofimmature peculiarly exposed branch
es from too powerful foreign competition are among
the aims to which this Journal has adhered through
good and evil report, and which IL steadfastly COM
1ends to American patriotism and philanthropy.
AS to the Civil War now devastating our county,
We hold II 70 have originated in a Rebellion more
wanton, wicked, inexcusable, then as ever before
knowna 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 for
bearance, meekness, and long-sugering with which
the Federal Government sought toavert its horrors
we hold II our clear duty with that of every other
Citizen to stand by the nation and fairly chosen
rulers, and TO second with all energies their ef
forts to uphold the Union the Constitution, and the
supremacy of the Laws. And, though the Rebellion
has become. through usurpation, deception terror.
ISM ana spoliation, iearally strong. we believe the
American Republic far stronger and,that the una =,
nous, 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
raordinary contest, We defer to those whom the
American People have clothed with authority hold
ing unity OF purpose and of action indispensable in
In crisis like the present our columns must BE
largely eHgrossed with the cnrrent history OF the War
for the Union and With calculations Of its more str.
king incidents. We shall not, however, remit that
attention to Literature to Foreign Affairs TO Avri-
cultural Progress, to Crops. Markets, &c, &C.. which
has already, we trust, wen for THE TRIBUNE an
honorable position among its contemporaries Our
main object is and shall be to produce mprehen-
sive newspaper, frsm which a careful reader NAV
CLEAN vivid and faithful picture Of the tmss NOT
merely in the domain OF Action but in that of 0pn

increase with years, we trust that nprov EN- ~
