NEW-YORK TRlBUNE-NEW VOLUME.
" On the seventh of September 1861, THE
NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE comm enced the
twenty first year of its existence; the THE DAI-
LY TRIBUNE being some months older and THE
SEMI WEEKLY TRIBUNE somewhat younger
For mere than twenty years. this Journal has la.
bored what its conductors have felt to be the
cause OF III ,manity, Justice and Freedom endeay-
oring 0 muliorate the condition of the oppressed
unfortunate, to honor and encourage useful
exert on in whatever sphere and to promote by
al means the moral intellectual and material ad-
vancement 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 tomorrow. In pursuing
this course, mistakes have doubtless been made
and faults committed but, having in all things
melted our readers think and Judge for them
selves rather than adopt blindly 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 its own errors

encourage and stimulate Productive Industry
through free grants of Public Lands to actual set
tiers and cultivators. also through the protec-
ton of immature peculiarly exposed branches
from too powerful foreign competitions are among
the aims to which this journal has adhered
through good and evil report, and which it stead
fastly commends to American patriotism and
philanthropy.
As to the Civil War now devastating our coun-
try, we hold it to have originated in a ReheIIion
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 to avoid
this War and witnessed the forbearance meek
ness, and long suffering with which the Federal
Government sought to avert its horrors we hold
it clear duty, with that of every other citizen
to stand by the nation and its fairly chosen ru
lers and to second with all our energies their eff

questions affecting the objects, the scope. and du

fer to those whom the American People have
clothed with authority, holding unity of purpose
and of action Indispensable in so grave an emer-

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

Our main object is and shall he
to produce 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 tn at 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 fulness of intelligence afford
ed, we may still hope to make each day critic
on the last" In this hope we solicit continu
ance of the generous measure of patronage hith-
erto accorded to our journal.
