THE NEW-YORE TRIBUNE. NEW VOLUME. On the seventh of Septem ber, 1861, THE NEW-RORK WEEKLY TRIB UNE commenced tbe twenty-first year of its exis tence: THEDAILY TRIBUNE being some mouths older and the SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE some what younger. For more than twenty years, this journal has labored in what its conductors hare felt to be tbe cause of Humanity, Justice and Free dom, endeavoring to meliorate the condition of tb# oppressed and unfortunate, t# honor and en courage useful exertion in whatever sphere, and, to promote by all means Mie moral, intellectual and material advancement of our country. It has aimed to bo right rather than popular, and to es pouse and commend to-day the truth that others may not be willing to accept till to-morrow. In pursuing tb is course, mistakes have doubtless been made and faults committed j but, baviug In all things incited our readers to think and Judge for themselves rather than adopt blindly our own or others' conclusions, we 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 the most general, thorough and practical Education, and to encourage and stimulate Productive industry, through free grants of Public Lands to actual set tlers and cultivators, as also through the protec tion of immature or peculiarly exposed branches from too powerful foreign competion, and ®r>one tbe aims to which this journal has adhered through good and evil report, and which it steadfastly com mends to American patriotism and philanthropy. As to the Civil War now devastating our coun try, we hold it to have originated in a Rebellion more, wanton, wicked, inexcusable, than was ever before known—a Rebellion in tbe interests of tbe few against tbe many—a Rebellion designed to raise higher the walls of caste and tighten the chains of oppression. Having done ail we could without a surrender of vital principles to avoid this War, and witnessed the forbearance, meekness, and long suffering with which the Federal Government wught to avert its horrors, we hold it our clear 1 duty, with that of every other citizen, to staud bv the nation and its fairly chosen rulers, and to sec ond with all our energies their efforts to uphold the L oion, the Constitution, and tbe supremacy of the Laws. And, though the Rebellion has become through usurpation, deception, terrorism, and spoliation, fearfully strong, wo believe the Ameri can RepuHic far stronger, and that the unanimous, earnest efforts of loyal hearts and hands will insure its overthrow. But on all questions affecting tbe objects, the scope, and duration of this most ex traordinary contest, we defer to those whom tbe American People have clothed with authority holding unity of purpose and of action indispen sable in so grave an emergency. In a crisis like the present, our columns must be largely eDgrossed with the current history of the War for the "Union, and with elucidations of its more striking incidents. We shall not, however remit that attention to Literature, to Foreign Af fairs, to Agricultural Progress, to Crops, Markets, pui- ha * alroit iv trust, won for ii. xi. i K.l l> ur* h au honorable position smong its coteraporaries. Our main ol ject is aDd shtll be to produce a comprehensive newspaper, from which a careful reader uiay gain a vivid and faithful histo ry of the tjraes, not merely in the domaine of Ac tion but in that of Opinion also. As our facili ties 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 luine.g of intelligence afforded, we may still hope to maae each day a critic on the last." In this hope, we solicit a continuance of tbe generous measure of patronage hitherto accorded to our ournai. I TERMS SEMI'W'FF!
