The weekly Thibodaux sentinel and journal of the 8th Senatorial District. [volume] (Thibodaux, Lna. [i.e. La.]) 1875-1898, 1879-02-01
THE SUN FOR 1870.

The Sun will be printed every day du
ring the year to come. Its purpose aud
method will be the same as In the past i:
10 present all the naws in reliable shape
and to tell the truth though the heavens
fall.
The Sun has been, is, and will continue
to be independent of everybody and every,
thing save the Truth and it's own oonvic
tions of duty. That is the only policy
tidenee and friendship Of wider constitu-
ency than was ever enjoyed by sny other
American Journal.
The SUN is the newspaper for the peOple
1t is not for the rich man against the Door
man, or tor the poor man against the rich
man, but it seeks to do equal justice to all
interests in the community. 1t Is not the
organ of any person, class, sect or party
There need be no mystery about its loves
and hates. 1t is for tho honest Democrat
as against the dishonest Republican, and
for the honest Republican as against the
dishonest Democrat. 1t does not take its
cue from the utterances OF any politician
or political organization. 1t gives its sup.
port unreservedly when men or measures
are in agreement with the Constitution and
with the principles upon which this Repub.
lie was founded for the people. Whenever
the Constitution and constitutional princi.
spiracy of 1876, by which man not elected
was placed in the Presidents office, where
he still remains-it speaks for the right
That is THE Suns idea Of independence
In this respect there will be no change in
Its programme for l479.
THE Sun has fairly earned the hearty ha-
tired of rascals frauds, and humhugs Of all
sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve that
hatred not less in the year 1878, than in
l. Nrv,,
will continue to shine on the wicked with
unmitigated brightness.
While the lessons Of the past should be
| constantly kept before the people, The
Sun does not propose to make itself i'm 1879
| o magazine Of ancient history. 1t 10 printed
for the men and women Of to-day, whose
concern is chiefly with the affairs OF to day.
J 1t has both the disposition and the ability
| to afford it readers the promptest, fullest
! and most accurate intelligence of whatever
| in the wide world is worth attention. To
this end the resources belonging to well-es-
tablished prosperity will be literally EN-
ploycd.
The present disJointed condition of par
| ties in this country and the uncertainty of
the future, lend an extraordinary signiti
cance to the evOnts of the coming year.
The discussions of the press, tho debates
and acts Of Congress, and the movements
Of the leaders in every section of the Re-
public will have direct bearing on tho
| Presidential election OF lS80-an event
which must be regarded with the most anx-
ious Interest by every patriotic American.
whatever his political ideas or allegiance.
To these elements may be added the prob
ability that tho Democrats will control
both houses of Congress, the increasing
feebleness of the fraudulent Administration
and the spread and strengthening every
| where of u healthy adherence of fraud IL
any form. 10 present with accuracy and
clearness the exact situation in each Of its
varying phases, and to expOund, according
to its well known methods, the principles
that should guide us through the labyrinth
will be an important part of Tee SUNS
work for 1879
