THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
NEW VOLUME

On the Ith Of September, The New York WEEKLY
TRIBUNE commenced the tw enty first year of Its exist
ence; THE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months older
and The sEAi-WEEKLr TRrBcSE somewhat younger
For more than twenty years this Journal has laborei
in what its conductors have felt to be the Of
Humanity. Justice and Freedom, endeayoring to
meorate the condition of the oppressed and unfortu
nate TO honor aud encourage useful exerton In what.
sphere, and, to promote by all means the moral
Intellectual and material advancement Of coun-
try. II 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 mistakes have doubtless been
made and faults committed but, having In all things
melted our readers to think and judge fo themselves
rather than adopt bindly our own others conelu
sions, We believe may fairly claim for this Journal
the credit of having qualified its restlers to detect
and expose its errors. To develop the m dis
of the young by the most general thorough and prac
teal Education and to encourage and stimulate Pro-
ductve Industry through free grants of Public Lands
TO actual settlers and cuvator also through the
protection ofimmature or peculiarly exposed branch
from too powerful foreign competition, are among
the aims to which this Journal has adhered through
good aad evil report, and which ii steadfastly COM
rzends to American patriotism and philanthropy.
AS to the Civil War now devastating our county,
we hold ii to have originated in a Rebellion more
@anton, wicked, inexcusable, then was 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 could without surrensAr of vital
principle vod this War, ard witnessed the for

the Federal Government sought toavefs It's horrors
hold 1t cur clear duty, with that OF every other
citizen, stand by the nation and Its fairly chosen
rulers and to second with all energies their If
forts TO uphold the Union, the Constitutions and tie
supremacy of the Laws. And, though the Rebellion
has become, through usurpaton, deception, teiror-
ism and spoilatiop earfully strong, believe the
Americ Republic far stronger and that the nj
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
traordinary contest, We defer 20 those whom the
American People have clothed with authority, hold
Ing unity Of purpose ard of action indsp in
emergency.
In a crisis like the present, our columns mus, te
largely esgrossed with the current history Of the

king incidents. We shall not, however. remit that
