For more than twenty years, tins journal has
labored in what its conductors Eate fell to be
the cause Of humanity, Justice and Freedom,
eudeayorlng to meliOrate the condition of the
oppressed and unfortunate, TO honor ana en-
courage useful eXertion in whatever sphere.
and to promote by all means the moral irFtel~
lectual, and material advancement of our
country. 1t has aimed to be right ratheF
than popular and to esponse and commend
to-day the truth that others may not be Will
ing to accept till Tomorrow. In pursuing
this course, mistakes have doubtless been
made and faults committed, but. have in all
things melted our readers to think and Judge
for themselves rather than adopt blindly cur
own or others conclusions, we believe we
may fairly claim for this journal the credit of
having qualified its readers to detect and ex-
pose even its errors. To envelope the minds
of the young by the most general, thorough
and practical Education, and 20 encourage
and stimulate Productive Industry through
free grants of Public Lands to actual settlers
and cultivatorS. as also the protection of i'm
mature or 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
steadfastly commends to American patriotism
and philanthropy.
AS to the Civil War nov devastating our
country we hold it to have originated in a
Rebellion more wanton, wicked, ,.inexcusabie,
than was ever before known-a Rebellion in
ha ipfa Of ba Oh
Rebellion designed to raise higher the walls
of caste and tighten the chains of oppression.
Having done all we could without surren-
der of principle to avoid this War, and wit
messed the for5earance, meekneSs and long
suffering with which the Federal Government
sought to avert its horrors, we hold it our
clear duty, with that of every other citizen,
to stand by the nation and its fairly chosen
rulers and TO second with all our energies
their efforts to uphold the Union, the Consti-
tuition and the supremacy Of the laws. And
though the Rebellion has become, through
usnrpation, deception terrorism and spola-
ton, fearfully strong, we believe the Ameri-
can Republic far stronger, and that the uuan-
lmous, earnest efforts of loyal hearts and
hands will insure its overthrow. But on all
questions affecting the objects, the scope and
duration of this most extraordinary contest.
we defer to those whom the American Pee-
pie have clothed with authority, holding uni
ty of purpose and of action indispensable in
so grave an emergency.
In crisis like the present our columns
must De largely engrossed with the current
history of the War for the Union, and with I
of its more striking Incidents
We shall not however remit that attention to /
Literature, to Foreign Affairs, to Ae ericutural /,
Progress, to Crops Markets, &c, &c, which
has, already we trust, won for THE TRIBUNE
an honorable position among its cotempora-
ries. Our object is and shall be to produce
comprehensive newspaper, from which a care
full reader may CLEAN a vivid and faithful his
tory 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
the contents of our journal is perceptible, and
that, in the variety and fullness of intelligence
we may still hope to make each
day critic on the last" In this hope we So
licit a continuance of the generous measure
OF patronage hitherto accorded to our Jour-
nal.
