In ifs comments on men and Affairs, Tie Sun

no bones Of telling the truth 10 its friends and

plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The sun
win be conducted during the year 70 come.
The year 1880 will he one in which no patri-
otto American can afford 70 close his eyes 70 pub
lie affairs. II is impossible 70 exaggerate the inn
portanee OF the political events which IL has in
store, or the necessity ofresoluie vigilance on
the part Of every citizen who desires 10 preserve
the Government that the founders gave rs. The
debates and acts Of Congress, the ulieranees Of
the press, the exciting contests ct the Republican
and Democratic parties now nearly equal IN
strength throughout the country, the varying
drift Of public Sentiment, will all bear directly
and effectively upon the twenty-fourth Presiden-
tial election, 10 be held in November. Four
years ago next November the will Of the nation,
as expressed ut the polls, was thwarted by an
abominable conspiracy, the promoters and bene-
fciaries Of which still hold the Offices they stole.
Will the crime Of 1876 be repeated in 1880? The
past decade OF years opened with a corrupt, ex-
iravagant and insolent Administration intrench-
ed nj Washington. The Sun did something to-
ward disiodging the gang and breaking It's pow
er. The same men are now intriguing TO restore
their leader and themselves to places from which
they were driven by the Indignation of the peo-
pie Will they succeed? The coming year will
bring the answers 10 these momentous questions.
The Sun will be on hand To chronicle the facts
MS they are developed, and to exhibit them clear
~ and fearlessly in their relations to expcdiency
and right.
Thus, with habit Of philosophical good hu-
NOR in looking at the minor affairs fife, and in
great things a steadfast purpose TO maintain he
rights Of the people and the principles Of the Con-
stituiion against all aggressors, The Sun is pre-
pared TO write a truthful. instructive and at the
same time entertaining history of 1880.
