NEW.YORK TRlBUNE-NEW VOLUME
In On the seventh of September, 1861, THE |
YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE commenced the |
twenty first year Of its exstence the THE DAI |
LY TRIBUNE being some months older and THE |
SEMI VII EKLY TRIBUNE somewhat younger. |
For mere than twenty years, this journal has la
bored I what its conductors have felt to be the |
cause of ii I'm anity, Justice and Freedom, endeav-
oring o moliorate the condition Of the oppressed
ami 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 IN ade
and faults committed but, having in all things
melted our readers 10 think and judge for them
selves rather than adopt blindly our own or 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 The minds of the young by tn e m ost
general, thorough and practical Education, and to
encourage and stimulate Productive Industry
through free grants of Public Lands to actual set
tiers and cu1tiyators as also through the protec-
tion OF immature or 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 il stead
lastly 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, inexcusable, then
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 forboarance, meek
ness, and long suffering with which the Federal
Government sought to avert its horrors, 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 energies tb cir Of
forts to uphold the Union, the Constitution, and
the supremacy of the laws. And though the Re-
ball, Lna
terroism and spoilation, fearfuily strong, we be.
heve the American Republic far stronger, and
that the unanimous, earnest efforts Of loyal hearts
and hands will insure its overthrow. But on all
questions affecting tho objects the scope, and du-
ration of this most extraordinary contest, we do
fer 10 those whom the American People have
clothed with authority, holding unity of purpose
and Of action indispensable in SO grave emer-
gency
In n crisis like the present, our columns must
bc largely engrossed with the current history of
the War for the Union, and with calculations of
its moro striking incidents We shall not, how
sver, rsmit that attention to Literature, to For
eign Affairs, to Agricultural Progress, to Crops
Markets. &c. which has already we trust, won for
THE TRIBUNE an honorable position among its
contemporaries. Our main object is and shall bo
10 produce a comprehensive newspaper from
faithful history Of the times not merely in the do
main of Action but in that Of Opinion also. As
our facilities for acquiring Information increase
with years, We trust that an improvement in the
In tho variety and fnlness Of intelligence afford
cd, we may still hope TO make each day critic
on the last" In this hope, We solicit continu
ancc Of the generous measure Of patronage hith-
erto accorded 10 our Journal.
