THB NBW-TORK TRIBUNE.

NEW VOLUME. On the seventh OF Septem-
her. 1861, THE NEW -RORK WEEKLY TRIB-
UNE commenced the twenty-frst year of its exIs-
tence THE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
older and the SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE some
what younger. For more than twenty years, tins
journal has abored in what its conductors have felt
to be the cause of Humanity, Justice aud Free
dom endeavOring TO melioTate the condition OF the
oppressed and unfortunate, 10 honor and
courage useful exerion in whatever sphere, and, to
promote by All means the moral, intellectual and
material advancement of country. It has
aimed to be right rather than popular, and to es-
peuse and commend to-day the Truth that others
may not be 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 jaJge for
themselves rather than adopt blindly our own or
others conclusions, 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
tiers and cultivators also through the protee-
ti0n of immature or peculiarly exposed branches
froIn too powerful foreign competitor, and among
the aims to which this journal has adhered through
good and evil report, and which it steadlastly
mends to American patriotism and philanthropy.
AS 70 the Civil War now devastating coun-
try we hold it to have originated in Rebellion
more wanton, wicked, inexcusablp, than was ever
5tfore known Rebellion in the interests of the
few against the many-a Rebellion designed to
raise higher the walls of caste and tighten the
chains of oppression. Having done al we could
without surrender of vital principles 10 avoid this
War, and witnessed the forbearance, meekneSs, and
long suffering with which the Federal Government
sought to avert its horrors, we hold it clear
duty, with that of every other citizen, TO stand by
the and its fairly chosen rulers, and to
ond 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 usuTpation, deception, terrorism, and
spoiIation, fearfuy strong, we believe the Ameri-
can 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, and duration of this most ex-
traordinary contest, we defer to those whom the
American People have clothed with authority,
holding unity of purpose and OF action ;ndspen-
sable in grave an emergency
In a crisis like the present, our columns must be
largely engrossed with the current history of the
War for the Union, and with calculations of its
more striking incidents. We shall not, however,
remit that attention to Literature, to Foreign AT
fairs, to Agricultural Progress to Crops, 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 10
produce comprehensive newspaper. from which
careful reader may gain vivid and faithful histo-
ry Of the times, not merely in the domaine Of Ac-
ton but in that of Opinion also. AS our facilI-
we trust that an improvement in the contents Of
journal is perceptible, and that in the variety
and fulaess of intelligence afforded, we may still
hope to "make each day critic on the last.' In
this hope, we solicit a continuance of the generous
measure@of patronage hitherto accorded to our
journal.
