twenty first year of its existence: the THE DAI-

SEMI VI EEkLY TRIBUNE somewhat Younger
For mere than twenty years this journal has la
bored what its conductors have felt to be the
cause ot Ill imanity- Justice and Freedom ende ay-
oriIg 0 meliorate the condition of the oppressed
anu unfortunate, to honor and encourage useful
exert on in whatever sphere, and to promote by
al means the moral intellectual and materi al adj
ysncement 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
wiling to accept till tomorrow. In pursuing
this course. mistakes have doubtless been made
and faults committed but having in all things
incited our readers TO think and judge for them
selves rather than adopt blindly our own OF 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 ,he minds of the young by th mos.
general thorough and practical Education. and to
encourage and stimulate Productive Industry
through free grants of Public Lands to actual set
tiers and cuitiVators as also through the protec-
tion of immature 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
fasty 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, inexcusabIe. then was ey-
interest n
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 forbearanee meek
ness, and long suffering with which the Federal
Government sought to avert its horrors we hold
1t 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-
beliion has become, through usurpation deception
terroism. and spoiation, fearfully strong we be
lieve the American Republic far stronger and
that the unanimous earnest efforts of 10y al hearts
and hands will insure its 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 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 Crops
Markets. 6e.. 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 a vivid and
faithful history of the times, not merely in the do
main of Action but in that of Opinion also. As
cur facilities for acquiring information increase
with years, we trust that improvement in the
contents of our journal is perceptible. and thar
in the variety and funess of intelligence afford
ed, we may still hope to make each day a critic
on the last" In this hope, we solicit eontinu
ance of the generous measure of patronage hith- |
erto accorded TO our Journal.
