TIID NRW-TORK TRIBUNE.


NEW VOLUME. On the seventh Of septen-
ber 1861, TIE NEW-E0RK WEEKLY TRIB-
NE commenced the twenty first year of irs exis-
tence: THE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
older and the SEAtI-lKEAhLY TRIBUNE some
what younger For more than twenty years, this
journal has labored in what its conductors have felt
TO be the cause Of Humanity, Justice and Free
dom, endeavoring TO melioTate the condition of the
oppressed and unfortunate, to honor and en-
courage useful exeron in whatever sphere, and, TO,
promote by all means the moral, intellectual and
material advancement ot our country 1t has
aimed TO be right rather than popular, and to
pouse and commend to-day the truth that others
llaY not be willing TO ACCEPT till tomorrow. Ia
pursuing this course, mistakes have doubtless been
made and fEults committed; but, having In all
things melted our readers TO think and Judge for
themselves rather than adopt blindly our own or
Others conclusions. We believe We may fairly claim
for this journal the credit Of having qualified it's
readers to detect end expose even its own errors.
To develop the minds OF the young by the most
general, thorough and practical Education, and 10
encourage and stimulate Productive industry,
through free grants of Public Lands to actual set
tiers and cultiyators, also through the protec-
ton of immature peculiarly exposed branches
1roln too powerful foreign competitor, and among
the aims to which this Journal has adhered through
good aud evil report, and which il steadiastiy
mends to American patriotism and phsntiropy.
AS 20 the Civil var now devastating our coun-
trys we bold it to have originated in a Rebellion
more wanton, wicked, inexensaile, than was ever
before known Rebellion in the interests of the
few against the nany-a Rebellion designed to
raise higher the walls Of caste and tighten The
chains Of oppression. Having done a i we could
witAou. surleider Of vital principles TO avoid this
War, and Witnessed the f0rbearance, Heekaess, and
long suffering wlth which the Federal Government
sought to avert its horrors, We hold it our clear
duty, WITH that of every other citizen, to stand by
the and iIs fairly chosen rulers, and to Sec
ond with all energies their efforts uphold the
Union, the Constitution, and The supremacy Of
the Laws. And, though the Rebellion has become,
through usurpation, deception, terrorism, and
spolatiOG, fearluly strong, we believe the Ameri-
Repu lie far stronger, and thai the unanimous,
earnest efforts OF loyal hearts and hands viii insure
It's overthrow. But on all questions affecting the
objects, the scope, and duration Of this most ex-
traoFain8ry contest. W. defer TO those whom the
American People have clothed with authoriiy,
holding unity OF purpose aud of action ;ndispen-
sa5le in so grave an emergency.
In crisis like the present, cur columns must be
largely engrossed with the current history OF the
Var for the Union, and with fluctuations OF its
more striking incidents. We shall not. however
rep!it that attention to Literature, to Foreign At
fairs, to Agricultural Progress TO Crops Markets,
&c, &c, which hes 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 gain vivid aud faithful histo-
~ of ths times, not merely in the domaine Of Ac-
ton but III that Of Opinion also. As our fa1ill-
ties for acquiring Information increase with years,
We trust that an improvement in the contents Of
our Journal is percepiihle and that in the variety
and fulaeSs Of int llieence Afforded, we may stiil
hcpe to ssmaEe each day critic on the last" In
this hope, we solicit continuance Of the generous
measure Of patronage hitherto accorded 10 our
journal.
