The Sun for 1850

The Sun will deal with the events of the year
1850 in its own fashion, now pretty well under
stood by everybody. From January until de-
cember 81 will be conducted a newspaper, writ
ten IN the English language, and printed for the
people.
A. newspaper, the Sun believes in getting ali
the news of the world promptly, and presenting
it IN the most intelligent shape-the shape that
will enable ITS readers to keep well abreast Of the
ACC with the least unproductive expenditure of
time The greatest interest TO the greatest num-
ber-that ia, the law controlling ITS daily makeup.
IL nov has a circulation very much larger than
that Of any other American newspaper, and en-
Joys an income which IL Is at al times prepared TO
spend literally for the benefit Of its readers. Peo-
pie Of all conditions of life and al ways Of think
inc buy and read The sun and they all derive
satisfaction of some sort from Its columns. for
they keep on buying and reading II.
In lts comments on men anu 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, abb
solutely independent of party, clnss, clique or
ganization or interest. 1t is fer all, but OF
IL will continue to praise what IL good and repro
bate what is evil, taking that its language i,
TO the point and plain, beyond the possibility OF
/ being misunderstood IL Is unnhuenced by mo-
tives that do not appear the surface; IL has nc
/ opinions TO sell, save those which may be- had by
any purchaser with two cents. IL hates injustice
and rascAlity even more than il hates unnecessary
words. It abhors frauds, pities fools, and de-
plo,es nincompoops of every species. IL will con-
tinue throughout the year 1880 20 chastise the
first class instruct the second, and disoounten-
| ance the third. All honest men, with honest con-
victions, whether sound or mistaken, are its
friends. The sun makes no bones of telling the
truth to its friends and about its friends whenev.
er occasion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The Sun
! will be conducted during the year 10 come.
The year $50 will be Que in which no patriot,
American can afford TO close his eyes TO public af
fairs. Ii IL impossible to exaggerate the import
