NEW VOLUME.

On she seventh of September, 1861, THE
NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE com
meuced 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
" wears, this Journal has labored in'what its con
ductors have felt to be the cause of Humanity,
Justice and Freedom, endeavoringto meliorase
the condition of the oppressed and unfortunate,
% honor and encourage useful eXerton in what
ever sphere, and, 70 promote by all means the
moral. intellectual and material advancement
of our country. 1t has aimed to be right rather
than popular and to espousc 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
reader. to think and Judge for themselves rather
than adopt bindly our own or others cOnclu-
sions, ne believe we may fairly claim for this
jouru1l the credit of having qualified its readers
70 detect and expose even its own errors. To
deyelop the minds of the young BY the most
general, thorough and practical Education, and
10 encourage and stimulate Productive Industry.
through free grants of Public Lands to actual
settlers and cultiyators, as also through the pro-
lection of imnature 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
n steadfastly com mends to American patriotism
and philanthropy.
As to the Civil War now devastating our
country, we hold il to have iginated in a Re-
belIion more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, than
was ever before known Rebellion in the in
terests of the few against the many rebellion
designed to raise higher the walls OF caste and
TIGHTEN the chains Of oppression. Having done
n ur,f mi a surrender n
c;nle to avoid this War, and witnessed the for
bearance. meekness and long-surering with
which the Federal Government sought to avert
It's horrors, we hold it our clear duty, with that
of every other citizen, to stand BY the nation
and it's fairly chosen rulers, and to second with
all our energies their efforts to uph Did the Union,
the Constitution, and the supremacy ofthe Law.
And, though the Rebellion has become. through
asurpation, deception, terrorism and spo!iation,
fearfully strong, we believe the American Re-
public far stronger, and that the unanimous,
earnest efforts of loyal hearts and hands will in
sure its overthrow. But on all questions affect
ing the objects, the scope, and duration of this
most extraordinary contest, we defer to those
whom the American People have clothed with
authority, holding unity Ofpurpose and ofaction
Indispensable in so grave an emergency.
In a 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,
however, remit that attention to Literature, to
Foreign Affairs, to Agricultural Progress, to
Crops, Markets, &C., &C., which has already, We
trust, won for THE TRIBUNE an honorable
position among its contemporaries. Our main
object is and shall be to produce comprehen-
sive newspaper, for which a careful reader may
CLEAN vivid and faithful history of the times,
not merely in the domain of Action but in that
of Opinion Also As our facilities for acquiring
information increase with years, We trust shat
an improvement in the contents of our journal
il perceptible, and that, in the variety and full
ness Of intelligence afforded, we may still hope
to SNAKE each day critic on the last" In THE
hope, we solicit continuance of the generous
measures of patronage hitherto accorded to our
journal.
