NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE commenced the
twenty-frst year of its existence; the THE DAI-
L1 TRIBUNE being some months older and THE
SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE somewhat younger
For more than twenty years, this Journal has la

oring to meliOrate the condition of the oppressed
and unfortunate, to honor and encourage useful
exertion in whatever sphere, and, to promote bv

Vancement of our country. 1t has aimed TO be
right rather than popular. and to espouse and
commend to-day the truth that others NAV 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 10 think and Judge for them
selves rather than adopt blindly our own or 9th

through free grants of Public Lands to actual set
tiers and cultivators, also through the protec-
tion of immature or peculiarly exposed branches
from toe powerful foreign competition among
the aims to which this journal has adhered
through good and evil report, and which it stead
fastly commends to American patriotism and
philanthropy
As to the Civil War now devastating our coun-
try, We hold it to have originated in a Rebellion
more wanton wicked, inexcusable then was ey-
er before known--a Rebellion in the interest of
the few against the many-a Rebellion designed
to raise hi CHER the walls of caste and tighten tbc
chains of oppression Having done all we could
without 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
our 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.
bellion has become, through usurpation deception.
terroisn and spoilation, fearfully strong we be-
ileve the American Republic far stronger and
that the unanimous, earnest efforts of loyal hearts
and hands will insure its overthrow But on ALI
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 grave an emer-
gency
In 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 how
ever, remit that attention to Literature to For
eign Affairs to Agricultural Progress to Crons
Markets, &c.. which has already we trust won for
THE TRIBUNE an honorable position among its
cotemporaries. Our main object is and shall be
to produce 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
WIN years. we trust that an Improvement in the |
contents OF our journal is perceptble, 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
ance of the generous measure of patronage hith-
erto accorded to our journal
