DAILY. sEM-wEEKLY AND WEEKLY.
The Nsw.YoaK T,us.is tho vsun,,st Of the
daily newspapers Of the City OF Ncw-Yo.k. The
Nat eu1bss weo issued the 18th Of Septem.
Der, lSoi,--so that Il has only just completed the
eignth year of its publication. But u has AREA
dy become one oil tho most widely known and
most firmly established daily journals Of the Uni
ted States. lss circulation 10 quite - large ss
that Of any other daily paper Of its class in tho
City Ut New fork,-and in rcputation for enter
prise, energy, and reliability. it may fairly chal-
lenss companion with any other newspspsrin tho
country.
The TINES 10 wholly and entirely INDEPEN
DENT in its discussion OF all topics Of public inc
tcrest. Il does not deny or doubt tho i'm postanco
or necessity Of Political Parties to the proper
management Of public aifairs,-for all experience
shows that in every Constitutional Government

vigorous and responsible conduct OF the Admin
istration But whilcit does not quarrel with par
~ organizations, II declines 10 be their instru-
ment rarity organs are sufficiently numerous
and sufficiently influential already. Every party
and every faction has its representatives and re-
tanned advocates in the newspaper Press Tho
great majority Of the journals Of the United
states are directly onnected with the Iarty or
carnations of the country representing their
principles, seeking the promotion Of their ends,
echoing their wishes publishing news and speech
es, with comments only in their interest, and
being eoaducted and managed merely as agents
tor the acct mplishmcnt Of party purposes. They
have, therefore, no higher authority and no
| stronger claim to confidence and respect than tho
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 less oolored by their
| sentiments and wishes. they command very little
attention, and still less influence, beyond the i'm
| mediate circle Of their own paftisans.
The TINES asserts for JOURNALISM a higher
| function than this. Instead Of consenting 10 DO
| simply the retained advocate Of any political PER.
W claims the right to judge, fairly and dispas
sionately, all parties, approving and aiding
ton OF the public good. and condemning and de-
nouncing every thing in all Of them which invol-
YES detrlmcnt disaster TO the country at large.
Its first great aim is to become . RELIABLE
| NEW SPAPER,-re reporting promptly and fairly
thing Of public interest concerning all parties
and all public men, Neither dstorling nor exag-
gerating facts for the benefit or the injury Of
any, but rendering equal and exact justice to all
| alike. II does not profess neutrality upon any
political issue, still less Indifference 10 any great
political moyemcnt:-but while il will discuss
everything connected with public affairs with
perfect freedom and with whatever ability il can
command, it will do this, not in tho interest, for
tho benefit, or under the control Of any public
l
interest Of Truth and Justice, and for promotion
Of tho welfare Of the whole country. While upon
all topics ts tone will be firm, vigorous and entre-
ly independent il will deal in argument rather
than menace, and will strive to sllay, by all fair
and Just appeals, rather than to increase by in
liam ato,y Counscls, the sectional agitation which
disturbs the peace and threatens the welfare Of
the Federal Union. 1t will insist always upon y
faithful adherence to the Constitution, respect
for tho Judicial authorities Of the nation, and .
