NEW VOLUME. On the seventh of Septem-
ber 1861, THE NEW -RORK WEEKLY TRIB-
UNE commenced the twenty first year OF its cxis-
tence: THE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
/ older and the EisMI- WEEKLY TRIBUNE some
what younger For more than twenty years, this
journal has abored in WhiI its conductors have eli

oppressed and unfortunate, ID honor and en-
courage useful exerton In whatever sphere, and, 10

aimed to be right rather than popular, and to es-

pursuing f is course. mistakes have doubtless been
made and fults committed; bnt, having In al
things melted our readers to think aud Judge for
themselves rather than adopt Mndly our own or
others conclusions, we believe We may fairly claim
for this journal the credit Of having qualified its
renders 10 detect and expose even IFS own errors.

general, thorough and practical Education and 10

As 20 the Civil War now devastating our coun-

more Wanioa, wicked, inexcuSable than was ever
d fore known Rebellion in the interests Of the

raise higher the walls of caste and tighten the
chains OF oppression. Haying done q / we oll3

its overthrow. But on all questions affecting the
Objects, the scope and duration Of this fnosts Ok
tr4oriinary contest, we defer to those whom The
American Feop'e have clothed with authority
holding unity OF purpose and of action snaispen
sable in so grave an emergency.

largely engrossed with the current history OF lie

THE TRIBUNE an honorable position among its
