For the principles by which THE WORLD
will be governed in its discussion and treat
ment of all psblic questions, it will suffice to
say that THE WORLD, while conservative in
politics, desires the conservation only of what
IS good and wise in our public institutions
and our political system liberal in spirit, it
admits no limitations upon the rights of pri-
vate Judgment and the aspirations of Reform,
save those which are imposed by prudence,
decorum, and rational respect for vested
rights and for the honest opinions of all
classes and sects Of men. While it has labored
for the principles and halls the triumph of the
Democratic party as affordng US a practical
promise of Reform in our public administra-
tions, city, state and national. it will not be
blindly devoted to the advancement of any
party or any clique. 1t will freely canvass
the public conduct, while it will treat with
respect the private rights, of Public Men, and
it will examine fearlessly into the workings
of our national, state and municipal govern
ments.
1t will inculcate steadfast reliance upon
the original principles of our political system
as the only sound basis of all needed improve
ments therein an unfaltering devotion to the
Constitution and the Union, scrupulous
fidelity to the spirit as well as the letter of
our laws, and sleepless vigilance in main
tanning all the great safeguards of Civil and
Religious Liberty. 1t will seek to mitigate
aud not TO aggravate the evils inseparable
from Party Government in a Free Country;
to promote good and not i'll feeling among
our fellow -citizens Of all creeds and colors,
all sections and all sects; and 10 advance
both by its precepts and by its example the
reign of Reason and of Law over prejudice
and passion in all our public action and in
the discussion of all public affairs.
1t will do Justice always, TO the best of its
ability, to ali men and to all classes of men
it will recognize no enemies but the enemies
of good morals, public order and the law; il
will endeavor, in word, to make its columns
terror TO evil-doers and praise to them
that do WE'LL
Nor will it lose sight meanwhile of the
great and legitimate demand of the reading
public for entertainment. The WORLD will
keep its readers informed of all that is anus
ing as we'll as of all that is momentous in the
movements of society and will spare neither
trouble nor expense to provide them with
varied, animated and accurate picture of the
times in which we live.
