The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1879-12-12
THE SUN FOR 1880.

THE SUN will deal with the events of the year
1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well understood
by everybody. From January until December
81 it will be conducted a newspaper, written in
the English language, and printed for the people.
AS IL newspaper, THE sun believes in getting all
the news of the world promptly, and presenting
it in the most Ineligible shapc-the shape that
will enable its readers TO keep well abreast of the
age with the least unproductive expenditure of
time The greatest interest to the greatest num-
ber-that is, the law controlling its daily
1t now has circulation very much larger than
that of any other American newspaper, and enjoys
an income which it is at all times prepared to spend
literally for the benefit of its readers. People of
all conditions of life and all ways of thinking buy
and read the THE sun; and they all derive salts
faction of some sort from its columns, for they
keep on buying and reading it.
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 it is. and will continue to be, alb
soutely Independent of party class clique, organ
zation, or interest. 1t is for all, but of none. 1t
will continue to praise what is good and rcprobate
what is evil taking care that its language is to the
point and plain, beyond the possibility of being
misunderstood. 1t is unntiucnced by motives
that do not appear on the surface; it has no opn-
ions to sell, save those which may be had by any
purchaser with two cents 1t hates injustice and
rascality even more than it hates unnecessary
words. 1t abhors frauds pities fools and de-
plores ntncompoopsof every species. twill con-
tnue throughout the year 1880 to chastise the first
class, instruct the second, and dscountenance the
third. All honest men, with honest convictions,
whether sound on mistaken, are its friends. And
friends whenever occasion arises for plain speak
ing:
These are the principles upon which THE sun
will be conducted during the year to come
The year 1850 will be one in which no patriotic
American can afford to close his eyes to public
affairs. 1t is impossible to eXaggerate the import
ance of the political events which it has in store,
or the necessity of resolute vigilance on the part
of every citizen who desires TO preserve the Gov
eminent that the founders gave us. The debates
and acts of Congress, the utterances of the press
the exciting contests of the Republican and Dem
ocratc parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, the varying drift of pub
lie sentiment, will all bear directly and effectively
upon the twenty-fo fourth Presidential election, to
be held in November Four years ago next No.
vember the will of the nation, expressed at the
polls, was thwarted by an abominable conspiracy,
the promoters and benefciaries of which still hold
the offices they stole. win the crime of 1876 be
repeated in 1880? The past decade of years OPEN
ed with corrupt, extravagant and nsolent Ad-
did something toward dislodging the gang and
breaking its power. The same men are now in
triguing to restore their leader and themselves to
places from which they were driven by the indg-
nation of the people. Will they succeed? The
coming year will bring the answer to these mo-
mentous questions. THE SUN will be on hand to
chronicle the facts as they are developed, and to
exhibit them clearly and fearlessy in their rea-
tons to expediency and right.
Thus, with habit of philosophical good humor
in looking at the minor affairs of life and in great
things steadfast purpose 10 maintain the rights
of the people and the principles of the Constitu-
ton against all aggressors, The sun is prepared
to write a truthful, instructive, and ut the same
time entertaining history of 1880.
