For more than twenty years. this Journal has la
bored in what its conductors have felt 10 be the
cause of Humanity. Justice and Freedom eudeaY-
oring to meliorate the condition of the oppressed
and unfortunate, TO honor and encourage useful
exertion in whatever sphere, and, to promote by
all means the moral, intellectual and material ad-
vancement of country. 1t has aimed TO be
right rather than popular. and to espouse and
commend to-day the truth that others may rot be
willing to accept till tomorrow. In pursuing
this course mistakes have doubtless been made
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

tiers and cultivators as also through the prorec-

the aims to which this journal has adhered
through goDa and evil report, and which tstead-
fastly commends to American patriotism and
philanthropy.
As to the Civil War now devastating cur coun-
try, we held it to have originated in a Rebellion
moro wanton, wicked, nexcusable. then was ev-
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 VIC could

this War and witnessed the torbearanee, meek
ness, and long suffering with which the Federal
Government sought TO avert its horrors we hold
II our clear duty, with that of every other citizen
to stand by the nation and its fairly chosen IN
lers. and to second with all our energies their ef
forts to uphold the Union the Constitution and
the supremacy of the laws. And. though the Re
bellion has become, through usurpation deception

that the unanimous, earnest efforts OF oyal 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-

clothed with authority. holding unity of purpose
and of action indispensable in SO grave emer-

In a crisis like the present, our columns must
be largely engrossed with the current history Of
the War for the Union. aud with calculations Of
Its more striking incidents. We shall not. how.
