THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE.
NEW VOLUME.

NEW VOLUME.
ON the 9TH of September, 1861, the NEW
~ York WEEKLY TRIBUNE commenced the
twenty first year of its existence; the DAILY
TRIBUNE being some months olderand the SEMI
WEEKLY Tribune somewhat younger. For moro
than twenty years this journal has labored in
what its conductors 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 exer-
ton in whatever sphere, and, to promote by all
means the moral, intellectual and material ad-
vancement 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 to think and judge for them
selves rather than adopt blindly our own couclu-
sions, we believe we may fairly claim for 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 it to have originated in n rebellion
more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, than was ev-
er before known--a rebellion designed to raise
higher the walls of caste and tighten the chains
of oppression. Having done all We could with
out surrender of vital principle to avoid this
war, and witnessed the forbearance, meekness
eminent 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 rul-
ers, and to second with all energies their eff
forts to uphold the Union, the Conttution,
and the supremacy Of the Laws. And, though
the rebellion has become, through usurpation,
deception, terrorism, and spoilation, fearfully
strong, We believe the American Republic far
stronger, and that the unanimous, earnest efforts
of loyal hearts and hands will insure its over
throw.
In crisis like the present, our columns must
be largely engrossed with the current history Of
the war for the Union. We shall not, however,
remit that attention to Literature, TO Foreign
Affairs, to Agricultural Progress, to Crops, Mar
kets, &C., &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 comprehensive newspaper, from
which careful reader may CLEAN vivid and
faithful history of the times. As our facilities
for acquiring information increase with years,
we trust an improvement in the contents of our
journal is perceptible and we still hope to
"make each day n critic on the last" In this
hope, we solicit continuance of the generous
measure of patronage hitherto accorded to eur
journal.
