LITERARY.
TINE SUN FOR 1873.

THE SUN will be printed every usy
during the year to come. Its purpose anS
method will be the same as in the past:
To present all the news in q readable
shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall.
1HE SUN has been, is, and will Uon-
tinue to be independent Of everybody and
everything cave the Truth aud its own
convictions Of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
iuence and friendship Of q wider conslitu-
american Journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t is not Tor the rich man against
the poor man, or for the poor man against
the rich man, but it seeks to do equal JUS
tire to all classes In the community 1t ls
uot the organ OF any person, class, sect or
party. There need be no mystery about
its loves and hates. 1t is for the honest
man against the rogues every time. 1t is
Tor the honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Republican, and for the honest
aepublican as against the dishonest Dem
ocrat. 1t does not take its cue from the
utterances Of any politician VI political Or
ganIzation. 1t gives its SUPPORT unreserv-
edly when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Constitution and with the
principles upon which this Republic was
founded tor the people. Whenever the
Uonst sttution and constitutional principles
are violated-as in the outrageous conspir-
ICY OF 1876, by which man not elected
vas paced IN the Presidents Office, where
he still remains-it speaks out for the
eight. That IL THE Suns idea Of inde-
1endence. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879.
The SUN has fairly earned the nearly
hatred Of rascais, frauds and humbugs Of
Ill sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that haired not less in the year 1879 than
n 1878, 1877, or any year gone by. The
SUN will continue TO shine on the wicked
with unnitigated brightness.
Whist the lessons OF the past should be
constantly kept before the people, The
SUN does not propose to make itself in
1873 magazine OF ancient history. 1t is
printed for the men and Romen Of to-day,
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs of
to-day. 1t has both the disposition and
the ability to afford its readers the prompt
sst, fullest and most accura intelligence
# whatever in the wide world is worth at
tention. TO this ind the resources belong
ing to well-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disjointed condition Of par
ties iu this country and the uncertainty Of
the future lend an extraordinary signif-
cance to the events of the coming year.
The discussions OF the press, the debates
and acts Of Congress, and the movements
u the leaders iu every section Of the Re-
public, will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election of 1880-an event
which must be regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
lean, whatever his political ideas or slle-
glance. To these elements Of interest may
be added the probability that the Demo-
crats will control both houses Of Congress,
the increasing feebleness or the fraudulent
Administration, and the spread and
strengthe ming everywhere OF healthy ab-
horrence OF fraud ill any form. To pre-
sent with accuracy and clearnesB the exact
situation in each OF its vary ing phases, and
to expound, according to its well-known
methods, the principles that should guide
us through the labyrinth, Will 10 an I'M
portant part OF THE SUMS work for 1879.
