For more than twenty years. this journal has la

cause of IL .lmanity Justice and Freedom. endeay-

exert on in whatever sphere, and, to promote by
al means the moral intellectual and materia al ad
vannement of our country. 1t has imed 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 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 ,he minds of the young by the mos.

encourage and stimulate Productive Industry
through free grants of Public Lands to actual set
tiers and cultivators. also through the protec-
tion of immature peculiarly exposed branches
from too pow erful foreign comp petition are among
the aims to which this journal has adhered
through god and evil report, and which it stead
fasty commends to American patriotism and
philanthropy.
As to the Civil War now devastating our conn-
try, we bold it to have originated in a Rebellion
more wanton. wicked inexcusabIe. 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 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
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 their eff
forts to uphold the Union the Constitution and
the supremacy of the laws. And. though tbs Re.
bellion has become, through usurpation deception.
terroism. and spoilation, fearfully strong we be-
Ieye the American Republic far stronger and
that the unanimous earnest efforts Of loySl 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-
geney
In crisis like the present, our columns must
be largely engrossed with the current history of
the w ar for the Union, and with calculations of
its more striking incidents. We shall not how
ever remit that attention to Literature, to For
elgn 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 be
to produce comprehensive newspaper from
which careful reader may CLEAN a vivid and
faithful history of the times, 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
contents OF our journal is perceptibIe, and that
in the variety and fulness of intelligence afford
ed, we may still hope to make each day a critic
on the last" In this hope, we solicit continu
ance Of the generous measure of patronage hith-
erto accorded to our journal.
