THR RRW- W-TORK TRIBUNE.

NEW VOLUME. On the seventh OF Septem-
Der, 1861, THE NEW-RORK WEEKLY TRIB-
UNE commenced the twenty first year of It's exis-
tence: THE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
older and the SEMI-WEEKI4Y 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, endeavorng to melioratc the condition of the
oppressed and unfortunate, to honor and en-
courage useful ezertion in whatever sphere and 70
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-
| ponse and commend to- day the truth that others
may not be willing to acceEt till tomorrow. In
pursuing th il course, mistakes have doubtless been
made and faults committed I; but, having in all
things incited our readers to think and judge for
themselves rather than adopt blndly ouE own or
others conclusions, believe We m1y fairly claim
for this journal the credit Of having qualified it's
readers to detect and expose even its own
To deye,o:. the minds of ths ynnn9 by the most
general, thorough ana prass.eal Education, and
encourage and stimulate Productive Inugstfy,
through free grants of Public Lands to actual set
tiers and cultivators, also through the protec-
ton OF immature or peculiarly exposed branches
IRON too powerful foreign competitor, and among
the aims to which this journal has adhered through
good and evil report and which it steadastly COM
mends to American patriotism and philanthropy
AS TO the Civil War now devastating our coun-
try, we hold il to have originated in a Rebellion
more wanton, wicked, inexeusable than was ever
5efore 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
wthoI. surrender of vital principles TO avoid this
War, and witnessed the forbearance, meekness, and
long suffering with which the Federal Government
sought to avert its horrors, we hold il our clear
duty, With that Of every other citizen 10 stand by
the nation and its fairly chosen rulers and to sec
ond With all our energies their efforts uphold the
Union, the Constitution. aad the supremacy of
The Laws. And, though the Rebellion has become
through usurpatiOn, deception, terrorism and
spoilation, fearfuny strong, we believe the Ameri-
can Repu lie far stronger, and that the unanimous
earnest efforts of loyal hearts and hands with insure
its overthrow. But all questions affecting the
objects, the scope, and duration of this most ex-
traoTdinary contest, We defer to those whom the
American Peop'e have clothed with authority
holding unity OF purpose and of action ;ndispen-
sable ia so grave an emergency.
In crisis like the pres6 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 an 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 hsto-
ry OF tbs tiHneS 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 pereeptbe, and that, in the variety
and fulaess OF intelligence afforded, we may still
hope to fsmaKe each day critic on the last.'' In
this hope, solicit continuance Of the generous
measure of patronage hitherto accorded to our
ournal.
