THE NEW YORK TINES.
An Independent Political, Literary and
Miscellaneous Newspaper.

The NEw-YoRK TixE.is the youngest Of the
daily newspapers Of the City Of New York The
first number was issued on the 18th OF Septen.
Der, 1851 so that it has only just completed the
eighth year Of its pu blisation But it has alrea
| dy become one Of the most widely known and
most firmly established daily journals of the Uni
ted States. Its circulation is quite as large as
that Of any other daily paper Of its class in the
| City Of New Iork,-and in repstation for enter
prise, energy, and relablity,i it may fairly chsl
lenge comparison with any other newspaper in tn,
country.
The TINES is wholly and entirely INDEPEN-
DENT in its discussion Of all topics of public ins
tsrest. 1t does not deny doubt the importanc,
Or necessity Of Political Parties to the prope.

shows that in every Constitutional Governmen
party divisions End party contentious are essenti
a to the preservation OF public liberty and TO the
vigorous and responsible conduct Of the Admin
istrstion. But while it does not quarrel with par

inent. Party organs are sufficiently numerous
and sufficiently influential already. Every party
and every faction has its representatives and re-
| tained advocates in the newspaper Press. The
great ma orty Of the journals Of the United
States directly Connected with the party or
ganizations of the country-rcpresenting their
principles, seeking the promotion of their ends,
echoing their wishe.,p .,publishing nows snd speech
| es, with comments only in their interest, = and
| being conducted and managed merely AS agent
| for tho accomplishment Of party purposes. They
| have, therefore, no higher authority and M
stronger claim to confidence and respect than the
parties they represent. As general thing they
| are read mainly by that portion Of the public who
concur with them in opinion, and as their state
| ments are always more or less solored by their
| sentiments and wishes. they command very little
attention. and stll less influence, beyond the i'm
| mediate circle of their own partisans.
Tho TINES asserts for JOURNALISM "a higher
| function than this. Instead Of consentinY to be
simply the retained advocate Of any political par
", claims the right to judge, fairly and dispas
sionstcly, all parties, approving and aiding
whateve or in any Of them may tend to tho promo

nouncing everything in oil Of them which invol-
