NEW-YORK TRIBUNE-NEW VOLUME.
Y On the seventh of September, 1861 THE
NETWORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE commenced the
twenty-frst 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-
vaDcement of our country. 1t has aimed to be
right rather than popular, and to espouse and
commend to-day the truth that others may not be
willing to accept till to morrow. In pursuing
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 blindly our own or 9TH,
ers conclusions, believe we may fairly claim
for this journal the credit of having qualified its
readers to detect and expose even its own errors
To develop the minds of the young by th e mos.
general thorough and practical Education and to
encourage and stimulate Productive Industry
through free grants of Public Lands to actual set
tiers and eultivators as also through the protec-
tion of immature 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 it stead
fasty commends to American patriotism and
philanthropy.
AS to the Civil War now devastating our conn
try, we hold it to have originated in a Rebellion
more wanton, wicked inexcusable then was ev-
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 a surrender of vital principle to avoid
this War; and witnessed the forbearance meek
ness, and long g-suffering with which the Federal
Government sought to its horrors we hold
1t our clear duty, with that of every other citizen
to stand by the nation and its fairly chosen ru
lers. and to second with all energies their eff
forts to uphold the Union, the Constitution and
the supremacy of the laws. And though the he.
bellion has become, through usurpation deception
terrolsm- and spoilation, fearfuly strong, we be
lleve the American Republic far stronger and
that the unanimous efforts of loyal hea arts
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
eign Affairs, to agricultural Progress, to Crops
Markets. &c. which has already. we 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 careful reader may CLEAN a vivid and
faithful history of the times, merely in the do
main of Action but in that of Opinion also As
our facilities for acquiring information increase
with years, we trust that an improvement in the
contents of our journal is perceptible and that
in the variety and funess of intelligence afford
ed, we may still hope to make each day a critic
on the last" In this hope, we solicit a continu
anee OF the generous measure of patronage hith- |
erto accorded to our journal.
