As ~ newspaper, the sun believes in getting al
the news of the world promptly, and presenting
IL in the most intelligent shape-the shape that
will enable ITS readers TO keep well abreast OF the
age with the least unproductiyc expenditure OF
time. The greatest interest TO the greatest num-
bcrthat is the law controlling its daily makeup.
II nov has "a circulation worry much larger than
that OF any other American newspaper, and en-
joys an income which IL Is at nll times prepared to
spend literally for the benefit OF it, readers. Peo-
pie of all conditions Of life and all ways of think
ing buy and read The sun 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 10y genuine American
principles and backed by honesty OF purpose.
s0lutcly independent OF party, class, clique, or
ganization or interest Ii is fer all, but OF none.
IL will continue 10 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. IL Is uuinnuonced by mo-
tives that do not appear on the surface it has no
opinions 20 sell, save those which may be had 10y
any purchaser with two cents. 1t hates injustice
and rascllity even more chan il hates unnecessary
words. IL abhors frauds, pities fools, aud de-
plores nincompoops of every species. IL will con-
tinue throughout the year 1850 TO chas;ise the
first class instruct the second, and discounten-
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 bc conducted during the year 20 come.
The year 1850 will be one In which no patriotic
American can afford 10 close his eyes to public af-
fairs. IL is impossible TO eXaggeratc the import
ance Of the political events which u has in store,
or the necessity Of resolute vigilance on the part
OF every citizen who desires 90 preserve the Cow
ernment that the founders gave US. The debates
and acts OF congress, the uttcranccs of the press
the exciting contests of Republican and Demo
cratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, the varying drift of pub
lie sentiment, will all bear directly and effectively
upon the twonty-fourth Presidential election to
be held in November. Four years ago next Mo-
vembor the will of the nation, expressed at the
polls, was thwarted by an abominabc conspiracy,
the promoters and benchcarics Of which still hold
the offices they stole Will the crime of 1876 be
repeated in 1850! The past decade Of years open

ministrntion intrenched at Washington. The

The coming year will bring the answers TO these
momcntous questions. The Sun win be on hand
