THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE,
NEW VOLUME.

| On the seventh of September 1861, THE
NETWORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE com
menced 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, endeavoring to meliorate
the condition of the oppressed and unfortunate,
| to honor and encourage useful cXcrtion in what
| ever sphere, and, to promote by all means the
moral, intellectual and material advancement
of our country. 1t has aimed to bc 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
incited our readers to think and Judge for them
selves rather than adopt bhndly our own or
others conclusions, We believe we NAV fairly
claim for this journal the credit of having
quail ned its readers to detect and expose even
It's own errors. To dcrelop the minds of the
young by the most general thorough and prac
teal Education. and to encourage and stimulate
Productive Industry. through free grants of
Public Lands to act ual settlers and cultivators
as also through the protection of immature on
peculiarly exposed branches 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 philanthro-
py.
As to the Civil War now devastating our
country, we hold it to have originated in a Re
oellion more wanton, wicked, inexcusable than
was ever before known-a rebellion in the in
terests of the few against the many-a Rebel
hon designed To raise higher the walls of caste
and tighten the chains of oppression. Having
done all we could without a surrender of vital
principle to avoid this War, and witnessed the
torbearance, Weakness. and long suffering with
which the Federal Government sought to aver,
It's horrors, we hold it our clear duty, with that
OF every other citizen, TO stand 10y the nation
and its fairly chosen rulers, and TO second with
all our energies their efforts to uT hold the Union
the Constitution. and the supremacy OF the
Laws. And, though the rebellion has become
through usurpation, deception terrorism. and
spoliation, tearfully strong, We believe the
American 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, the
duration, of this most extraordinary contest We
defer to those whom the American People have
clothed viii, authority. holding unity of pur.
pose and of action indispensable in so grave an
emergency.
In crisis like the present, our columns must
be largely engroesed with the current history of
the war for the Union. and with calculations of
It's more striking incidents. We shall not, how
ever, remit that attention to Literature. to For
eign Affairs, 10 Agricultural Progress. To Crops,
Markets. DC, dc, which has already, We trust,
won for THE TRIBUNE an honorable position
among its contemporaries. Our main object is,

vivid and faithful history of the times, not
merely IN the domain Of Action but in that of
Opinion also. As our facilities for acquiring
information increase with years We trust that
an Improvement IN tho contents Of our journal
is perceptible. and that, in the variety and full
ness 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.
