country, We hold it to have originated in Re-
bellfon more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, than
was ever before known-a Rebellion in the in
Oerests of the few against the many-a Rebellion
designed to raise higher the walls of caste and
tighten the chains Of oppression. Having done

Indispensable in so grave an emergency.
In crisis like the present, our columns must
be largely engrossed with the current history
Of the War for the Union, and with elucidations
Of its more striking incidents. We shall not,
however, remit that attention to Literature, to
Foreign Affairs, 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 comprehen-

hope, We solicit continuance of the generous
measures of patronage hitherto accorded 10 our
journal. |,
