The present disjointed condition
Of parties in this country, and the
of the future, lend an
significance to the
events of the coming year. The
of the press, the debates
and acts of Congress, and the move
ments of the leaders in every sec
ton of the Republic will have dis
rect bearing OH the Presidential
election of 1SSO-an event which
must be regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic
whatever his political
IDEAS of allegiance. To these Gle
ments of interest may be added the
that the Democrats will
control both houses If Congress-. the
feehleness of the fraudu-
lent Administration. and the spread
aud strengthening everywhere of a
healthy adherence of fraud in any
form. To present with accuracy
and clearness the exact situation in
each of its varying phases, and to
according TO its wellknOwn
methods the principles that should
guide us through the labyrinth, Will

work for 1879.
We have the means of making
The Sun, as a political, a literary
and a general newspaper, more en-
and more useful than
ever before; and we neau to apply |
