/ NEW VOLUME. On the seventh Of Septem-
| Der, 1861, THE NEW -RORK WEEKLY TRIB-
/ UNE commenced the twenty first year of its exis-
| tence: TIE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
/ older and the SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE some
4 what younger. For more than twenty years this
Journal has abored ia what its conductors have felt
/ TO be the cause of Humanity, Justice aud Free
dom, endeavoring to meorate the condition OF the
4 oppressed and unfortunate, to honor and en-
courage usefu exertion in whatever sphere, and to
/ promote BY all means the moral, intellectual and
material advancement of our country Ii has
aimed to be right rather than popuIaf and to es-
| pouse and commend to-day the truth that Others
may not be willing to ACCEPT till tomorrow. IL
pursuing tb is course, mistakes have doubtless been
made and faults committed; but, having in all
thIngs melted our readers TO think and iujge for
themselves rather than adopt blindiy our own or
others conclusions, believe we may fairly claim
Tor this journal the credit of having qualified its
readers to detect and expose even its own errors

AS to the Civil War now devastating our coun-
try, we hold 1t 10 have originated in Rebellion
more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, than was ever
5tfore kn0wn--a Rebellion in the interests Of the
few against the many--a Rebellion designed 10
raise higher the walls Of caste and tighten the
chains Of oppression. Having done n we coulf
without surrender Of vital principles to avoid this
War, and witnessed the fofbearance, meekness. and
long suffering with which the Federal Government
sought to avert its horrors, hold it our clear
duty, with that of every other citizen to stand bv
the nation and its fairly chosen rulers and to Sec
ond with all our energies their efforts TO uphold tba
Union, the Constitution, and the supremacy of
the Laws And, though the Rebellion has become
thro1gh usurpation, deception, terrorism. and
spoatiOn, earfully strong, We believe the Ameri-
can hepu lie far stronger, and that the unanimous
earnest efforts of loyal hearts and hands viii insure
lis overthrow. But on al questions affecting the
objects, the scope, and duration of this most ex-
traordlnary contest, We defer to those whom the
American People have clothed with authority.

IN Crisis ike the present, our columns must be
largely engrossed with the history Of the
ar for the Union, and with calculations OF its |
more striking incidents. We shall not however +.
remit that attention to Literature, to Foreign AT
lafs, to Agricultural Progress to Crops, Markets |
&e., &c, which has already, we trust Won for |
THE TRIBUNE an honorable position among its |
cotehpoTarles. Our main object is and shall be to
produce a comprehensive newspaper. from which a /
careful reader may gain vivid and faithful histo-
ry OF the times, not merely in the domaine of Ac.
ton but IN that OF Opinion also. AS our facili-
lies Tor acquiring information increase with years
we trust that an Improvement in the contents OF /
our journal is pereeptibe and that in the variety
and fulaess OF intelligence afforded, we NAV stil
hope to 'smaKe each day a critic on the Iast'' In /
this hope, we solicit continuance Of the generous
measure Of patronage hitherto accorded TO our |
ournal.
