~ On the seventh of September 1861. THE
NEW-1ORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE comm enced the
twenty-first year of its existence the THE DAI-
L1 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-
orlng 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 nj adj
vancement of our country. 1t has aimed 10 b.,
right rather than popular and to espouse ana
commend to-day the truth that others may not be
willing to accept till tomorrow. In pursuinv
this course mistakes have doubtless been made
and faults committed but, having in all things
melted our readers TO think and Judge for them
selves rather than adopt blindiy our own or 9th
ers conclusions, We believe may fairly claim
for this Journal the credit of having qualified its
readers to detect and expose even It's own errors

from too powerful foreign competition are arnon,
the aims to which this journal has adhered
through good and evil report and which tstead-
tasty 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-sufering with which the Federal
Government sought TO avert its horrors, we hold
1t clear duty, with that of eVerV other citizen
to stand by the nation and its fairly chosen ru
lers and to second with all our energies their ef
forts to uphold the Union, the Constitution, and
the supremacy of the laws. And, though the Re
belliOn has become through usurpation .decention-
terroism and spoilation, fearfulIy strong we be
lievc the American Republic far stronger, and
that the unanimous, earnest efforts of oyaI heart.
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
Its more striking incidents. We shall not how
ever, remit that attention to Literature, to For
elgn Affairs to Agricultural Progress. 70 Crops
Markets, &c. which has already, trust won for
THE TRIBUNE an honorable position among its
cotemporaries. Our main object is and shall be
to produce a comprehensive newspaper, from
which a careful reader may CLEAN vivid and
faithful history of the times, not merely in the do
main of Action but in that of Opinion also As
with years trust that improy ement in the
contents of our journal is perceptible, and that
in the variety and fulness of intelligence afford
ed, we may still hope to make each day a eritie
on the last" In this hope, solicit a continu-
ance of the generous measure of patronage hith-
erto accorded to our journal
