THE NRW-TORK TRlBUNE.

NEW VOLUME. On the seventh OF Septem-
Der. 1861, THE NEW-R0RK WEEKLY TRIB-
UNE commenced the twenty first year OF its exls-
tence. TIE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
older aud the SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE some
what younger For more than twenty years, tins
Journal has abared ia what its conductors have felt
20 be the cause Of Humanity, Justice aud Free
dom, endeavning to meiorate the condition o%he
oppressed and unfortunate, to honor and en-
courage useful exeriiou ID whatever sphere and,
promote by all means the moral, intellectual and
material advancement Of our country. 1t has
aimed 10 be right rather than popular, and to eS-
pouss and commend to-day the ruth that others
tDAy not be wiling to ACCEPT till tomorrow. Ia
pursuing this course mistakes have do unless been
made and flalts committed but, having ia all
things lneited our readers TO think and Judge for
themselves rather than adopt Ilndly our own or
Others conclusions. we believe may fairly claim
for this journal tue credit Of having qualified it's
readers to detect and expose even its own errors.
To develop the minds Of tha young by the most
general, thorough and practical Education, and 10
encourage and stimulate Productive industry,
through grants OF Public Lands TO actual set
tiers and entIvators, as also through the protec-
tiOn Of immature peculiarly exposed branches
iroia too powerful foreign competition, and among
the aims to which this journal has adhered through
good and eyilTeport, aHd which it steadiastly cOm-
nlelds to American patriotism and philanthropy
AS 20 the CiyIi " ar now devastating our coun-
try, we hold it to have originated IN a Rebellion
more wan.on, wicked, iueXeusatle, than was ever
atfore known Rebellion ia the Interests Of the
few against the many-a Rebellion designed 10
raise higher the walls If caste and tighten the
chains OF oppression. Hwing done 4 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 10 avert its horrors, We hold it eur clear
duty, with that Of every other Citizen to stal by
the nation and is fairly chosen rulers, aud to sec
Ond with all energies their efforts TO uphold the
Union, the Constitution, and The supremacy Of
the Laws And though the Rebellion has become
through usurpatlon, deception, terrorism, and
spoIlation, fearfully strong believe the Ameri-
can Repu lie tar stronger, and thai the unanimous
efforts of loyal hearts and hands will insure
its overthrow. But on all questions affecting the
objects, the scope, ana duration Of this most ex
tr4ordIRary contest, defer to those whom the
American People have clothed with authority
holding unity OF purpose and Of action ;ndispen-
sable in SO grave an emergency.
In crisis hike the press nt our columns must be
largely engrossed with the current history of The
w ar Tor the Union aud with eluciaatiohs of its
ILore striking incidents. We Shall not, however,
remit that attention to Literature, to Foreign Ar !
&c, &c., which has already, We trust, won for
THE TRIBUNE an hOnorau position among It's
contemporaries. Our main object is and shall b. 10
produce comprehensive newspaper from which a
careful reader may gain a vivid aud faithful histo
ry oi the times, not merely in the domaine Of Ac-
ton but IL that OF Opinion also. As our fa1ill-
lies for acquiring Information increase with years
We tIuSi that an improvement in the cont, ms OF
our journal Is percepsble, and that in the variety
and fuaess OF int llgence afforded, we NAV sijll
hope 10 ''ma&e each day critic on the ast'' La
this hops, solicit coutinuance Of the generous
measure If patronage hitherto accorded to our
Journal.
