THE NRW-YORK TRIBUNE.

NEW VOLUME. On the seventh of Septem-
ber, 1861. THE NEW-RORK WEEKLY TRIB-
UNE commenced the twenty first year Of its exis-
tenee: THE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
older and the SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE some
what younger For more than twenty years, this
journal has labored in what its conductors have fet
to be the cause of Humanity, Justice aud Free
dom, endeavorng to meiorate the condition of the
oppressed and unfortunate, TO honor and en-
courage useful exertion in whatever sphere and TO
promote by all means the moral, intellectual and
material advancement of our country. IT has
aimed to be right rather than popular, and to es-
pouse and commend to-day the truth that others
may not be willing to ACCEPT till tomorrow. In
pursuing th is course, mistakes have doubtless been
MADE and faults committed; bnt, having in all
things melted readers to think and Judge for
themselves rather than adopt blindly our own or
others conclusions, we believe may fairly claim
for this journal the credit of having qualified its
readers to detect and expose even its own errors
To develop the minds of the young by the most
general, thorough and practical Education. andfo
encourage and stimulate Productive industry,
through free grants of Public Lands 10 actual set
tiers and cultivatorss as also through the protec-
ton Of immature peculiarly exposed branches
iroin too powerful foreign competitor, and among
the aims to which this Journal has adhered through
good and evil report, and which il steadfastly COM
mends to American patriotism and philanthropy
AS 30 the Civil War now devastating our coun-
try, we hold it to have originated in a Rebellion
before known-a Rebellion in the interests of the
few against the many--a Rebellion designed to
raise higher the walls of caste and tighten the
chains of oppression. Having done al we could
wthou. surrender Of vital principles 10 avoid this
War, and witnessed the forbearanee, 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, 10 stanib
the nanon and its fairly chosen rulers and to sec
end with all our energies their efforts to uphold the
and ba ,rF
the Laws. And, though the Rebellion has become
through usurpatiOn, deception, terrorism, and
spoIiation, fearfuly strong, we believe the Anleri-
can RepuE lie 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 duration Of this most ex-
traOrdinary contest, we defer to those whom the
American People have clothed with authority,
holding unity Of purpose and Of action ;ndispen-
sable in so grave an emergency.
In a crisis like the presC MT, 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, however,
remit that attention TO Literature, to Foreign At
fairs, to Agricultural Progress to Crops, Markets,
&c, &c, which has already, we trust, Won for
THE TRIBUNE honorable position among its
contemporaries Our main object is and shall be to
produce comprehensive newspaper from which
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 facill-
ties for acquiring Information increase with years,
we trust that an improvement in the contents of
journal is perceptible and that, ir the variety
and fulaess of intelligence afforded, we may still
hope to ssmaKe each day critic the last.'' In
this hope. we solicit continuance of the generous
measure Of patronage hitherto accorded TO our
ournal.
