THE EBV-YORE TRIBUNE.

NEW VOLUME. On The seventh OF Senten-
Der, 1861, THE NEW-RORK WEEKLY TRIB-
UNE commenced the twenty first year OF its exis-
tence: THE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
older and tile SEMI-NEEKLY TRIBUNE sonle-
what younger For more than twenty years, this
journal has abored in what its conductors eye felt
20 be the cause Of Humanity, Justice and Free
dom, endeayorng to neliorate the condition OF the
oppressed and unfortunate, to honor and
courage nsefui e1ericn IN whatever sphere, aRd to
promote by all means the moral, intellectual and
material advancement Of cur country. IT has
aimed to be right rather than popular, and to
poase and commend to-day the tlUth that others
may not be willing to ACCEPT till Tomorrow. la
pursuing To is course mistakes have doubtless been
made and futs committed; but, having in all
things melted our readers to think and Judge for
themselves rather than adopt blindiy our
Others conclusions, we believe we may fairly claim
for this journal the credit Of having qualified its
readers to detect and expose even It's own errors
TO develop the minds OF tbs young by the most
general, thorough and practical Education, and to
encourage aud stimulate Productive industry,
through free grants of Public Lands TO actual set

the aims to which this journal has adhered through
good and evil report, and which it Steadfastly
mends to American patriotism and philanthropy.
As 20 the OiVil War now devastating our conn

before knowR--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
wthou. surrender Of vital principles 10 avoid this
War, and witnessed the foTbeaTance meeknesS, and
long suffering with which the Federal Government
sought to avert its horrors, hold it our clear
duty with that Of every other citizen, TO stand by
the and its fairly chosen rulers, aud to sec

through usurpation, deception, terrorism, and
spoIlation, fearfully strong believe the Ameri-
can Repu lie far stronger, and that the unanimous
earnest efforts of loyal hearts and hands will insure
its overthrow. But all questions affecting the
objects, the scope, and duration Of this most ex-
traordiuary contest, we defer to those whom the
American People have clothed with authority.

In a crisis like the present, our columns must be

TIE TRIBUNE an honorable position among its
contemporaries. Our main object is and shall bs %
produce comprehensive newspaper from which

ties for acquiring information increase with years,
we trust that an Improvement in the contents of
our journal is perceptbe, and that, in the variety

hope to ssmaKe each day critic on the last.' In
this hope, we solicit continuance Of the generous
measure Of patronage hitherto accorded TO our
