all the news OF the world prompiig, and prqsat-
ing ID in the most intelligible shape-the shape
that will enable ifE readers 10 keep well abreast
Of the &ge with the least uBproducsive expendi-
ture Of time. The greatest interest % the great

larger than that Of any other American ne~spa-

readers People of al conditions ofiife and Al
ways Ct thinking buy and read The San; and
they all derive satisfaction Of some sort from its
columns, for they keep on buying and reading IL.
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 ID, and will continue 20 be- abb
solutely independent Of party, class, eliqus, Or

j, viii coniinue TO praise what is good and re-
probate what Is evil, taking care that ifs Ian
guage Is TO the point and plain, beyond the pos
sibilify Of being misunderstood. IL IL unlnhu-
eneed by motives that do not appear on the fuf.
face: Il has no opinions TO sell, those which
may be had by any purchaser with two cents.
II hates injustice and Fascaity even more than IL
hates unnecessary words. IL abhors frauds,
pities fools, and deplores nincompo0ps OF every
species. Il will continue throughout the year
1880 10 chastise the FIRST class, instruct the sec
ond, and discountenance the third. All honest
men with honest Convictions, whether sound or
mistakes, are its friends. And The Sun makes
no bones Of telling the truth 10 10 friends and
about its friends whenever occasion arises for
plain Speaking.
These are the principles upon which The Sun
will be conducted during the year 70 come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no pasri-
otic American can afford to close bis eyes 10 pub
lie affairs. II Is impossible 10 exaggerate the Inn
portaBce Of the political events which II has in
store or the necessity Of resolnte vigilance on
the part Of every citizen who desires to preserve
riig Government that the founders gave as. The
debates and acts Of Congress, the utteranees Of
the press the exciting contests Of the Republican
and Democratic parties, now nearly equal in
strength throughout the country, the sarying
drift Of public sentiment, will all bear directly
and effectively upon the twenty fourth Presiden-
tial election, TO be held in November. Four
years ago next November the will Of the nation,
as expressed al the polls, was thwarted by an
abominAble conspiracy, the promoters and bene-
feiaries of which still hold the Offices they stole.

their leader and themselves TO places from which
they were driven by the Indignation of the pee

bring the answers TO these momentous questions.
The Sun will be on hand 10 chronicle the facts
as they are developed, and to exhibit them clear

great things a steadfasi purpose TO maintain lie
rights Of the people and the principles Of the Cot
