NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE commenced the
twenty first year of its existence the THE DA l.

For more than twenty years, this journal has a
bored in what its conductors have felt To be the
cause OF humanity Justice and Freedom endeav-
oring to meiorate the condition of the oppressed
and unfortunate, to honor and encourages useful
exertlon in whatever sphere, and, to promote bv
all means the moral intellectual and materi al ad
vancement of 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 10 think and Judge for them
selves rather than adopt blindly our own or 9TH
ers conclusions we 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 the minds of the young by tn mos.
general, thorough and practical Education and t.
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 good and evil report and which it stead
fastly commends TO American patriotism and
philanthropy
As to the Civil War devastating our conn
try. we hold il to have originated in a Rebellion
more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, then was ev-
er before known-a Rebellion in the interest of
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 surrender of vital principle to avoid
this War and witnessed the forboaranee meek
ness, and long suffering with which the Federal
Government sought to avert its horrors, we hold
1t our clear duty, with that of other citizen
to stand by the nation and its fairly chosen ru
lers and to second with all our energies their Of
forts to uphold the Union, the Constitution, and
the supremacy OF the laws. And, though the Re
bellion has become, through usurpaton deception.
terroism, and spoilation, fcarfully strong we be.
lieve the American Republic far stronger and
that the unanimous, earnest efforts of loyal hearts
and hands will insure it's 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 elucidations of
Its more striking incidents We shall not how
ever, remit that attention to Literature, to For
elgn Affairs to Agricultural Progress, TO Crops
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 a comprehensive newspaper from
which careful reader may CLEAN vivid and
faithful history of the times merely in the do
main of Action but in that of Opinion also As
oui Information increase
with years, we trust that Improvement in the
contents OF our journal is perceptible, and that
in the variety and fulness of intelligence aford-
ed, we may still hope to make each day a critic
on the last In this hope, solicit continu
anee OF the generous measure of patronage hith-
erto accorded to our journal
