THE SUN FOR 1880.

TIE Sun will deal with the events Of the
year lSSI in Its W fashion,, now pretty well
understood by everybody. From january un-
t December 81 1t Will be conducted asR news
paper, written in the English language, aad
printed for the people.
AS a newspaper THE SUN believes in getting
all the news OF the world promptly, and pre-
sentIng it in the most Ineligible shape-the
shape that will enable It's readers TO keep we'll
abreast of the age with the least unprodTctive
expenditure Of TIME. The greatest interest to
the greatest number-that Is, the law control
ling its daily make.dp. IT now has a circnla-
! ton very much larger than tnat of any other
American newspaper, and enjoys an Income
which it at uli times prepared to spend libcr;
ally for the benefit OF Its readers. People of all
conditions Of lie and all ways of thinking buy
and rtad TIE SUN; and they oil derive ~satlsfac.

In Its comments OH men and affairs, II SUN
believes that the only guide Of policy should
be common sense. inspired by genuine Alheri-
can prin 'ples and Daeked by honesty OF pur-
pose. FL. this reason 1t Is and will continue
TO be, absolutely Independent OF party. class,
clique, organizations or interest. 1t Is for oil,
but of none. T. will continue TO praise what Is
good and reproDate what Is evil, taking care
that It's language IS to the point and plain. be
yund the possibility of being misunderstood.
1t Is uniufluenced by motives that do not APP
pear on the surface; u mas no opinions 10 sell,
er with two cents. IL hates injustice and raS-
cality even more than 1t hates unnecessary
words. II abhors frauds, pities fools and deplores
nipcompoops OF every species. 1t will %contin.

frIenus.. And The SUN makes no bones OF tell

when ever OCCASION arises for plain speaking.
These arc the principles upon whichTHESUN

The year 1850 will be one in which no patriot
ic American can afford 10 close his eyes to pub

Importance OF the political events which IT has

serve the Government that the founders gave
us. The debates and acls OF Congress. the ut

The Republican and Democratic parties, now
nearly equal in strength throughout the coun.

ali bear directly and effectively upon the twen-
