ESTABLISHED 1851.
During the long and exciting Presidential cam
pagn Of 1876, ana the anxious period OF political
/ uncertainty which succeeded II, THE NEW-YORK
| TIMES had a very important share in determin-
ing The result OF one of the most mOmentOus con-
/ tests in American history The course Of THE
TIMES during the whole Of that eventfui struggle
has secured for it large addition to the number
of its supporters, and has placed beyond cOntrO-
versy its position as the foremost Republican
newspaper in the United States
The course of THE TIMES viii be guids d in the
future. it has been in the past by the consider
alton that the interests of the Republican Party
are in all cases TO De set above the interests Of its
leaders. and that the honor and welfare Of the
| country are TO be considered before either. It's
attitude is that of Independents lCitbfn the Re-
publican Pa ty, Tor in that way can the interests
| Of the people be most etfectually served.
So long as any OF the great principles with
which the Party mas been idenlhed remains in dis
dispute, TIE TIMES will refuse 10 consider the
work Of the Repnbhcanism as ended. It viii Ia
Dor to maintain the highest standard Of partisan
obligation in the treatment OF questions affecting
the hnantial honor Ofthe nation, the publication
of the public service, and the gradual readjust
ment Of the fiscal system to meet the changing
conditions OF trade and manufactures. II viii
steadily oppose all plans, no matter oy W-om urg-
ed, which tend 10 postpone the date Oi resumption
beyond that fixed by law, to pay the national cred
itOr on any Otner basis than that OF gold to pre-
| serve import duties which clog the development
Of American ministry, or 10 perpeTuate in the pub
lie service the perniciOus principles that to the
vicJors belong the spOfls."
While carefully avoiding all that may tend to
promote sectional enimOsity among our people,
| THE TIMES will urge. with ihe utmost dicislon,
the national duty of protecting the freedmen and
the Northern immigrants IN the South in lhe pos
session OF rights guaranteed them by the COnsti-
tuition. 1t will do all IN its power to promote the
policy of peace and Cancellation b. tween North
and South, but will lose sight Of the act that
Northern confidence and amnesty must ind their
return in the enforcement Of eyen-handed justice
and scrupulous regard for the letter and spirit Of
the law on part Of the South.
