THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
NEW VOLUME.

On the seventh Of September, 1861. THE
NETWORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE com
meneed the twenty first year Of its existence :;
THE DAILY TRIBTNE being some months
older, and THE SEMI WEEKLY TRIBUNE
somewhat younger. For more than twenty
years, this Journal has labored in what its con
ductors have felt to be the cause of Humanity,
Justice and Freedom, endeayoring to meliumte
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.
| er than popular, and TO espouse 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 Judge for them
selves 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 pmc-
teal Education and to encourage and stimulate
Productive Industry, through free grants Of
Public Lands to actual settlers and cutivators,
as also through the protection of immature or
peculiarly exposed ranches from too powerful
foreign competition, are among the aims TO
which this journal has adhered through good
and evil report. and which it stcadfastly com
mends to American patriotism and phllanthro-
~.
As to tie Civil War now devastating our
country, We hold it to have originated in Re
belllonm more wanton, wicked, ineXcusable, than
WAS ever before known-a rebellion in the in
tcrests Of the few against the manv--a Rebel
lion designed 60 raise highcrthe 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
torbearance, Weakness. and long suffering with
which the Federal Government sought to avert
its horrors, We hold it our clear duty with tha;
/ OF every other citizen, 10 stand 10y the nation
aud its fairly chosen rulers, and to second with
all our energies their efforts to VI hold the Union,
the Constitution, and the supremacy Of the
Laws. And, though the rebellion has become
through usurpation, deception, terrorism, and
spolation. fcarlully strong, We believe the
American Republic far stronger, and that the
unanimous. earnest efforts OF loyal hearts aud
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 a crisis like the present our columns must
be largely engroesed with the current history of
the war Tor the Union. and with calculations of
its more striking incidents. We shall not, how.

vivid aud faithful history OF the times, not
merely in the domain of Action but in that Of
Opinion also. As our facilities for acquiring
