NEW VOLUME.

On the seventh of September, 1861, THE
NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE COM
meuced the twenty-fr year Of its existence;
THE DAILY TRIBUNE being some months
older and THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE
somewhat younger. For more than twenty
years, this journal has labored in what its con-
ductors have felt to be the cause of Humanity,
Justice and Freedom, endeavoringto meliora.e
the condition of the oppressed and unfortunate,
to honor and encourage useful exertion in what
ever sphere, and, to promote by all means the
moral, intellectual and material advancement
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
accent till ia. 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 themselves rather
than adopt blindly our own or others conclu-
sions, we believe We may fairly claim for this
journal the credit of having qualified its readers
to detect and expose even its own errors. 10
develop the minds of the young by the most
General, thorough and practical Education, and
70 encoura &c and stimulate Productive Industry,
through free grants of Public Lands to actual
settlers and cutivators, as also through the pro-
lection 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 steadfastly commends to American patriotism
and philanthropy.
As to the Civil War now devastating our
country, we hold it to have originated in Re-
bellion more wanton, wicked, inexcusable, than
was ever before known-a Rebellion in the in
terests of the few against the manv-a Rebellion
designed to raise higher the walls Of caste and
tighten the chains Of oppression. Having done
ali we could without a surrender of vital prin
chile to avoid this War, and witnessed the for
bcarance meekness and ng-snffering with
which the Federal Government sought to avert
its horrors, we hold il our clear duty, with that
of eyerv other citizen, to stand by the nation
and its fairly chosen rulers, and to second with
all our energies their efforts to uphold the unon
the Constitution, and the supremacy 1.-THE Law.
| And, though the Rebellion has become, through
usurpation, deception, terrorism and spoliation.
fearfullv strong, We believe the American Re-
ublie far stronger, and that the unanimous,
earnest efforts ofloyal 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 a comprehen-
sive newspaper, for which careful reader may
CLEAN vivid and faithful history Of the times,
not merely in the domain Of Action but in that

information increase with years, we trust that
an Improvement in the contents OF our journal
is perceptble, and that in the variety and full.

to "make each day critic on the last" In this

measures of patronage hitherto accorded to oHI
