~ On the seventh of September, 1861 THE
EW-Y0RK WEEKLY TRIBUNE conn enced the
twenty-hrst year of its existence the THE DAI-
LY TRIBUNE being some months older and THE
SEMI-WEEkLY TRIBUNE somewhat Younger
For more than twenty years, this journal has la
bored in what its conductors have felt to be the
cause of Humanity, Justice and Freedom endeav-
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 materi al ad-
vancement of country. 1t has aimed TO ba
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 rn.Jo
and faults committed !; but, having in all things
melted our readers 10 think and Judge for them
selves rather than adopt blindly own or 9TH
ers conclusions, we believe we may fairly claim
for this journal the credit of having qualified ifs
readers to detect and expose even its own errors

general, thorough and practical Education, and to
encourage and stimulate Productive Industry
through free grants of Public Lands to actual set
hersand cgltivators, as also through the protec-
ton OF immature or peculiarly exposed branches
from too powerful foreign competition are among
the aims to which this journal has adhered
through good and evil report, and which il stead
fastly commends to American patriotism and
philanthropy
As to the Civil War now devastating our coun-
try, we hold it to have originated in a Rebellion
more wanton, wicked, inexcusable 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 10 avoid
this War and witnessed the forbearance, meek
ness, 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 nation and its fairly chosen ru
ers, and to second with all our energies their eff
forts to uphold the Union, the Constitution and
the supremacy of the laws. And, though the Re
bellion has become, through usurpation deception
terrorism, and spoilation, fearfully strong we be-
lieve the American 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 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 grave an emer-
gency
In crisis like the present, our columns must
be largely engrossed with the current history Of
the War for the Union, and with calculations of
It's more striking incidents We shall not how
ever, remit that attention to Literature to For
sign Affairs, to Agricultural Progress, to Crops,
Markets, &c. which has already we trust won for
TILE TRIBUNE an honorable position among its
Our main object is and shall be
o produce a comprehensive newspaper from
which careful reader may CLEAN vivid and
aithful history of the times not merely in the do
main of Action but in that Of Opinion also As
'ur facilities for acquiring information increase
With years we trust that an Improvement in the
ontents of our journal is perceptible. and that
n the variety and fulness of intelligence afford
ID we may still hope TO make each day a critic
m the last In this hope, solicit a continu-
nee of the generous measure of patronage hith-
rto accorded to our Journal
