TRIBUNE-NEwV VoLUME

NEW-YORK TRIBUNE-NEW VOLUME.
IL On the seventh of September 1861, THE
NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE commenced the
twenty first year of its existence; the THE DAI-
LY Tk BUNE being some months older and THE
SEMI VI EKLY TRIBUNE somewhat younger.
For me re than twenty years, this Journal has la
bored what its conductors have felt to be the
cause of II ,manity. Justice and Freedom, endeav-
oring muliorate the condition of the oppressed
ant unfortunate, to honor and encourage useful
exert on in whatever sphere, and, to promote by
al means the moral, intellectual and materi al ad
ysncem ent of our country. 1t 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 tomorrow. In pursuing
this course mistakes have doubtless been made
and faults committed but, having in all things
melted our readers think and judge for them
selves rather than adopt blindiy our own or 9TH
ers' conclusions, 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 ,he minds of the young by the mos.
general thorough and practical Education. and to
encourage and stimulate Productive Industry,
through free grants of Public Lands to actual set
tiers and cultivators. also through the protec-
tion of immature or peculiarly exposed branches
| from too powerful foreign competition are among
the aims to which this journal has adhered
| through goId and evil report and which itstead-
| fasuy commends to American patriotism and
| philanthropy.
As to the Civil War devastating cur coun-
| try we hold it to have originated in a Rebellion
| more wanton, wicked, inexcusable. then was ev-
! the few against the many-a Rebellion 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 forbearance, meek
ness and long suffering with which the Federal
Government sought to avert its horrors we hold
it clear duty with that OF every other citizen
| to stand by the nation and its fairly chosen ru
/ lers and to second with all our energies their eff
forts to uphold the Union, the Constitution, and
| the supremacy of the laws. And, though the Re-

| terroism and spoilation, fearfully strong, we be-
| lieve 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 and du-
ration of this most extraordinary contest, we de-
| fer to those whom the American People have
| clothed with authority, holding unity OF purpose
and of action Indispensable in so grave an emer-
gency
| In a crisis like the present, our columns must
| be largely engrossed with the current history OF
the War for the Union, and with calculations OF
| its more striking incidents. we shall not now
ever. remit that attention to Literature to For
eign Affairs to Agricultural Progress, TO Crops
Markets &c. which has already, we trust, won for
| THE TRIBUNE an honorable position among its
| contemporaries Our main object is and shall be
| to produce a comprehensive newspaper, from
| which careful reader may CLEAN vivid and
faithful history of the times not merely in the do
| main 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 percephble, and that
in the variety and fulness of intelligence afford
| ed, we may still hope to make each day critic
| on the last" In this hope, we solicit continu
anee of the generous measure of patronage hith
erto accorded to our journal.
