ESTABLISHED 1851.
During the long and exciting Presidential cam
paign of 1876 and the anxious period Of political
uncertainty which succeeded it, THE NEW-YORK
TIMES had q very important share in determin-
ing the result fOne of the most momentOus con-
tests in American history. The course OF THE
TIMES duFing the whole of that eventfui struggle
has secured for it large addition to the number
of its supporters, and has placed beyond eOntr0-
versy its position as the foremost Republican
newspaper in the United States.
The course of THE TIMES will be guild, in the
future it has been in the past by the consider
alton that the interests Of the Republican Party
in all cases to be 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 Independence tCithin the Re
publican Pa ty, for in that way can the interests
/ of the people be most effectually served.
So long as any Of the great principles with
which the Party has been idenlhed remains in dis
dispute TIE TIMES will refuse 10 consider the
| work of the Repn nblieanism as ended. 1t viii Ia
Dor to maintain the highest standard OF partisan
obligation in the treatment Of questions affecting
the hnantial honor Of tie nation, the publication
of the public service, and the gradual readiust
/ ment of the fiscal system to meet the changing
/ conditions OF trade and manufactures. Il win
steadily oppose all plans, matter by WAOm urg-
ed. which tend to postpone the date Oiresumption
beyond that fixed by law, TO pay the national cred
itOr any Otner basis than that pf gold, TO pre-
serve import duties which clog the development
of American industry, or 70 perpetuate in the pub
lie service the perniciOps principles that TO the
| VicJOrs belong the spoils.N
While carefully avoiding all that may tend to
| promote sectional animosity 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 ihe poe
| session of rights guaranteed them by the COnsti

and scrupulous regard for the letter and spirit of
the law on the part Of the South.

its correspondence by mail and telegraph irom al
i parts of the world will be fully maintained THk
4 TIMES has shown during the RussO-Iurkish var
how ample are its resources. and how well direct
ed is its enterprise. Its voluninOus foreign cor
respondenOe for the last year is admitted % have
1 furnished some OF the most valuable historical
daTa sYaiiabe for the record Of highly yimpoTtant
/ epoch. The event in Europe and elsewhere dur
ing the coming year win be treated with the same
/ fuilness, fairness, and accuracy as nave dfsen-
l gulshed its treatment Of those which now belong
/ to the past.
In the sphere of literary and artistic crltielsm,
OF scientific, social and general discussion, Hk
TlM MES viii address itselfas heretofore, to the ap
probation of the educated and intelligent classes
Of the American people. Il win be liysly without
being sensational, aggressive without being
course; at all times il viii strive 20 be fearless
and independent In the championship Of the
| right No theories subversiVe OF the principles
on which the sacredness Of amiiy ties and the sx-
istance OF society alike repOse viii b promnlgs-
/ ted in its columns.
THE TIMES rejects all advertisements Of lot
| teries of quseks and medical pretenders, and Of
| an other agencies bywhieh the insidious poison
| of vice is disseminated throughout society. Il
will be in the future, as In the past, newspaper
