THE NEW.YORK TRIBUNE.
E VOLUME.


On the seventh. of September, 1861, THE NEY-
YORK WEEKLY Tribune commenced tho
twenty-frst year Of its existence; THE DAILY
TRIBUNE being some months older and THE SEM
WEEKLY TRlBUAE somewhat younger. For
more than twenty years this Journal has labored in
what its conductors have fell u be the cause of IIu
manity, Justice and Freedom, endeavoring - NELL
crate the condition Of the oppressed and unfortunate
to honor and useful e~xeTtiOn in Whatever ephere
and, to promote By all means the moral inlelleetuaI
and material Advancement Of orr country. Il has
aimed u be right rather than popular and to es-
pouse and commend to-day tho truth that othess
may not be willing to accept till tommorrOw. In
pursuing this course mistakes have doubtless been
madc and faults committed; but having III all things
melted our readers to think and jucge for themselves
rather than adopt bliudly our own 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 OK the young by the most general thorough
and practical EducatIo1 ana to encourage aud slim
ulste Prod uctive Iadustry through free grants of
Public Lands t~oactaal settlers and cuitiyators and
also through the protection OF immature OF pecu}i-
arity exposed branches from tor powerful foreign
competition are among the aims 70 which this Jour
main adheIed through good and bad report and
which it ste6dflstiy comments ID American patriot
ism and philanthropy.
As to the Civil War now devastating orr country
we hold it to have originated in a Rebellion more
wantOn, wicked, inexcusablc. than was ever before
known Rebellion IN the interest OF the few GgIiast
the many--a Rebellion deeiguel to raise higher the
walls of caste and tighten the chains of oppression.
Having done all we coul4 without a surrender Of Vi
tai principle 70 avoid this War and witnessed the
forbenrsnce, meelness ard long suffering 18th which
the Federal GOverDmtHt sought to avert its horrors
we hold it our clear duty. with thatof every other
citizen, to stand by the nation and its fairly chosen
rulers and IS second vito al oar energies their CT

has become through ururpstion deception terrorism

objects the scope and duration Of this most cxtrsGr-
binary contest We defer 10 thusc whom the Alncui-

grave an emergency.
In Il crisis like the present orr columns must be
largely engrosged with the current history Of the
War for the Union ana with calculations Of its
more striking incidents. We shall not however,
