FHE NEW-YORK TRIBUNE.

NEW VOLUME. On Che seventh Of septem-
Der, 1861, THE NEW-R0RK WEEKLY TRIB-
URE commenced the twenty first year Of its ezls-
tence: THE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
older and the SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE some-
what younger For more than twenty years tins
journal has labored in whar its conductors have felt
to be the cause Of Humanity, Justice and Free
dom, endeavorng to meliorate the condition Of the
oppressed and unfortunate, to honor and en-
courage useful exertion In whatever sphere and to
promote BY all means the moral, Intellectual and
material advancement of our country. III has
aimed to be right rather than popular, and TO es-
pouse and commend to-day the truth that others
may not bewilling to acceIt till tomorrow. In
pursuing tb is course, mistakes have doubtless been
made and faults committed but, having in All
things melted our readers to think and Judge for
themselves rather than adopt blindIy our own or
others conclusions, we believe we may fairly claim
for this journal the credit Of having qualified Its
readers to detect and expose even IFS own errors
To develop the minds Of the young BY the most
general, thorough and practical Education, and 10
encourage and stimulate Productive industry,
through free grants of Public Lands to actual set
tiers and cultivaters, as also through the protec
tion Of immature peculiarly exposed branches
troln too powerful foreign competitor, and among
the aims to which this journal has adhered through
good and evil report, and which it steadfasty com
mends to American patriotism and philanthropy.
As TO the Civil War Devastating our coun-
try, we hold it to have originated in a Rebellion
more wanton, wicked. inexcuSable, than was ever
before known--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 all we could
withou. surrender Of vital principles to avoid this
War, and witnessed the forbearance, meekness, 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 and its fairly chosen rulers and to sec
ond with all our energies their efforts to uphold the
Union, the Constitution, and the supremacy Of
the Laws. And, though the Rebellion has become
through usurpation, deception, terrorism, and
spoation, fearfnlly strong, we believe the Ameri-
can Republic FAR stronger, and that the unanimous
earnest efforts Of loyal hearts and hands will insure
its overthrow. But on all questions affecting the
objects, the scope, and duration of this most ex-
tratrdinary' contest, We defer to those whom the
American People have clothed with authority,
holding unity of purpose and of action ndispen-
sable in so grave emergency.
In crisis like tire pres6 MT, 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, however
remit that attention Literature, to Foreign At
fairs, to Agricultural Progress, to Crops Markets
&c, &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 mag gain vivid aud faithful bisto-
ry of the times, not merely in the domaine Of Ac-
ton but ia that Of Opinion also. AS our facill-
ties Iof acquiring Information increase with wears
We trust that animpruvemeBt in the contents of
our journal is pereeptble, and that in the variety
and fulaess of intelligence afforded we may still
hope to 'smaKe each day critic on the last.' In
this hope, we solicit continuance of the generous
measure Of patronage hitherto accorded to cur
ournal.
