NEW VOLUME.

On the seventh Of September, 1861, THE
NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE CON-
menced the twenty first year of its existence;
THE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
older and THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE
somewhat younger. For more than twenty
years, this journal has labored in what its con-

designed to raise higher the walls of caste and
tighten the chains of oppression. Having done

bearance, meekness and long suffering with
which the Federal Government sought to avert
its horrors, we hold it our clear duty, with that

and its fairly chosen rulers, and to second with
all our energies their efforts to uph Did the Union.

And, though the Rebellion has become, through
usurpation, deception, terrorism and spoliation.
