N On the seventh of September 1861 THE
NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE com enced the
twenty first year of its existence; the THE DAI-
Lf TRtB BUNE being some months older and THE
SEMI EKLY TRIBUNE somewhat younger
For mere than twenty years. this journal has la
bored what its conductors have felt to be the
cause of III manty. Justice and Freedom endeay-
orihg meliorate the condition Of the oppressed
ant unfortunate, to honor and encourage useful
exert on in whatever sphere, and to promote by
al means the moral, intellectual and materi al ad-
vancement 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
willing to accept till tomorrow. In pursuing
this course, mistakes have doubtless been M ade
and faults committed but having in all things
melted our readers TO think and Judge for them
selves rather than adopt blindy own or 9th
ers' conclusions, we believe 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 tn e mos.
general. thorough and practical Education. and to
encourage and stimulate Productive Industry
through free grants of Public Lands TO actual set
tiers and cultivators. also through the prorec-
tion of imma mature or peculiarly exposed branches
from too powerful foreign competition, 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 now devastating our coun-
try, we hold 1t to have originated in a Rebellion
more wanton, wicked inexcusable then was ey-
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 torbearance, meek
ness, and long suffering with 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 nation and its fairly chosen ru
ers, 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-
bellion has become, through usurpation, deception
terrorism. and spoilation, fearfully strong we be-
lieve the American Republic far stronger and
that the unanimous, efforts of loyal 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
eisn Affairs, tn 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 compreh ensive newspaper from
which careful reader may CLEAN 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 perceptlble, and THAI.
in the variety and fuiness of intelligence afford
ed, we may still hope to make each day critic
on the last" In this hope, we solicit continu
ance CT the generous measure of patronage hith-
erto accorded to our Journal.
