THE SUN FOR 1880.

| THE Sun will deal with the events of the yea
1850 in its own fashion, now pretty well under
stood by everybody. From January until De
cember 81 it will be conducted as n newspape
written In the English language and printed TO
the whole people.
| AS a newspaper, THE Sun believes in getting al
the news Of the world promptly, and presenting
it in the most Ineligible shape-the shape tina

prepared to spend literally for the benefit OF it.
readers. People OF all conditions Of life and all
ways Of thinking buy and read TIE Sun; and they
all derive satisfaction OF some sort from its col
umns for they keep on buying and reading it
In its comments on men and affairs, THE Sun be-
lieves 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
solutely independent OF party, class, clique, or
sanZaon, or interest. II is for all, but of none.
1t will continue to praise what is good and repro
bate what is evil, taking care that its language is
to the point and plain, beyond the possibility OF
being misunderstood. 1t is influenced by motives
that do not appear on the surface; it has no opin.
ions 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. 1t abhors frauds, pities fools, and de.
plores nincompoops OF every species. 1t will
continue drought the year 1850 to chastise the
first class, instruct the second. and dscountenance
the third. All honest men, with honest convic-
tons, whether sound mil taken, are its friends
And THE Sun makes no bones of telling the truth
10 its friends and about its friends whenever &C.
cason arises for plain speaking.
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 exaCgefate the i'm
portance of the political events which II has in
store, or the necessity of resolute vigilance on
the part OF every citizen who desires to preserve
the Government that the founders gave u.s. The
debates and acts Of Congress. the utterances of
