THE SUN FOR 1880.

The Sun will deal with the events of the year
1880 in its own fashion. now pretty well under
stood by every body. From January ! until De-
cember 81 IL will be conducted as n newspaper,
written in the English language, aud printed for
the people.
As a newspaper, The Sun believes in getting
all the news OF the world promptly, and present
ing Il In the most ineligible shape-the shape
that will enable its readers to keep well abreast
of the age with the least unproduciive expendi-
ture oftime. The greatest interest 20 the great
est numher-that Is, the law controlling its DAT
liz makeup. II now has circulation very much
larger than that OF any other American newspa-
per- and enjoys an income which il is ut all times
prepared to spend literally for the benefit OF its
readers People of all conditions OF life and all
wavs Of thinking buy aud read The Sun; and
they all derive satisfaction OF some sort from It's
columns, for they keep on buying and reading 1t.
In its comments on men and affairs, The Sun
believes that the only guide Of policy should be
common sense, inspired By genuine American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose.
For this reason il is, and will continue TO be, alb
soluteIy Independent of party, class, clique. or
ganization oriDterest II is for all, but of none.
IL will continue 10 praise what Is good and re-
probate what is evil, taking care that its Ian
guage is to the point and plain, beyond the pos
sibility of being misunderstood. 1t Is uninffu-
enced by motives that do not appear on the sur
face; IL has 80 opinions to sell, save those which
may he had by any purchaser with two cents
n hates injustice and rascality even more than II
hates unnecessary words. Ii ahhorS frauds,
pities fools, and deplores nincompoops Of every
species. II will continue throughout the year
1850 to chastise the first class instruct the sec
oud, and discounienance the third. All homes:
men. with honest convictions, whether sound or
mistakes, are its friends. And The Sun makes
no bones Of telling the truth 10 its friends and
about It's friends whenever occasion arises for
plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The Sun
will be conducted during the year to come.
The year 1880 will he one in which no patri-
otic American can afford 10 close his eyes to pub
lie affairs IL Is impossible to exaggerafe the inn
portance Oi the political events which Il has in
store. or the necessity Of resolute vigilance on
the mart OF every citizen who desires to preserve
the Government that the founders gave Us. The
debates and acts of Congress, the ntterances OF
the press, the exciting contests Ct the Republican
aud Democratic parties, now nearly equal an
strength throughout the country, the varying
drift of public sentiment, will all bear directly
and effectively upon the tweniy-fourth Presiden-
tial election 20 be held in November. Four
wears ago NEXT November the will Of the nation,
rs expressed at the polls, was thwarted by an
abominable conspiracy, the promoters and bene-
feiariee of which still hold tbs Offices they stole.
