THE Sun will deal with the events of the
year loS0 in its own fashion, now pretty well
understood by everybody. From January !
until December 81 il will be conducted a. a
newspaper. written in the English language,
and printed for the people.
As newspaper, THE SUN believes in getting
all the news OF the world promptly, and pre-
sentIng it in the most intelligible shape-the
shape that will enable its readers to keep well
abreast of the age with the least unproductive
expenditure of time. The greatesti interest 10
the greatest rUmber-that i, the law control
ling its daily makeup. 1t now has a circula-
ton very much larger than that of any other
American newspaper, and enjoys an income
which il is at all times prepared to spend
literally for the benefit Of its readers Peo-
Pile of all conditions of life and all ways of
thinking buy and read THE Sun; and they all
derive satisfaction of some sort from its col
umns, for they keep on buy ing and reading
il.
In its comments on men and affairs. The
Sun believes that the only guide OF policy
should be common sense, inspired hy geuUiue
American principles and backed by honesty
of purpose. For this reason il is, and will
continue to be, absolutely independent of
party, class, clique, organization, or interest.
1t Is for all, but OF none. 1t will continue to
praise what is good and repr obate what Is
evil, taking care that its language is to the
point and plain, beyond the possibility of
being misundersto TODD. IL is unintiuenced by
motives that do not appear on the surface il
has no opinions TO sell, save those which may
be had by any purchaser with two cents 1t
hates injustice and rascality even more than
1t hates unnecessary words. h ahhQrS frauds
pities fools, and deplores uinoompoops OF
every species. II Will continue throughout
the year 1850 to chastise the frst-class instruct
the second, and diseountenance the third. a IL
honest men, with honest convictions. whether
sound or mistaken, are its friends. And The
Sun makes no bones of telling the truth to It's
friends and about its friends whenever occa-
sion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which THF
Sun will be nducted during the wear ca
come.
The year 1880 will re 9ne in which no patri-
otic American can afford 10 close his eyes to
public affairs, it is impossible to exaggerate
