MISCELLANEOUS.
the SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every Gsy
during the year to come. Its puTp pose and
method will be the samo as in the past:
To present all the news in readable
shape, and to tell the truth though the
heavens fall.
THE SUN has been, is, and will con-
tinue to be independent of everybody and
everything save the Truth and its own
convictions Of duty. That is the policy
which has won for this newspaper the con-
fidence and friendship Of wider conslitu-
ency thpn was ever enjoyed by any other
American Journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for tho peo-
pie. 1t is not for the rich man against
the poor man, or for the poor man against
the rich man, but it seeks to do equal JUS
tice to all classes in the community 1t is
not tho 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
for the honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Republican, and for the honest
Republican rs against tho dishonest DEM
ocrat. 1t does not take its cue from the
utterances of any politician or political or
ganlzation. 1t gives its support unreserv-
edly when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Constitution and with the
founded Tor the people. Whenever the
Constitution and constitutional principles
are violated-as in the outrageous conspir-
acy of 1876, by which man not elected
was p aeed IN the Presidents office, where
he still remains--it speaks out for the
right. That is The SUMS idea Of inde-
penieace. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned the hearty
hatred OF rascals, frauds and humbugs of
all sort, and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that HI red not less in the year 1879 than
in 1878. 1877, or any year gone by. THE
sun will continue to shine on the wicked
with untnitigated brightness.
Whilst the lessons Of tho past should bo
constantly kept before the people, The
SUN does not propose to make itself in
1879 magazine Of ancient history. 1t il
pr nted for the men and semen 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
est, fullest and most accura intelligence
of wha ever iu the wide world is worth at
tention. To this end the resources belong
ing to woll-established prosperity will bo
hberally employed.
The present disjointed condition Of par
ties in this country and tho uncertainty Of
tho future lend an extraordinary signifi-
csuce to the events OF the coming year.
The discussions OF the press, the debates
and acts Of Congress, and tho movements
of 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
ican, whatever his political ideas or slle-
glance. To these elements Of interest may
be added the probability tuat the Demo-
Gratis will control both houses OF Congress,
the increasing feebleness OF the fraudulent
Administration, and the spread and
strengthe ming everywhere OF healthy alb
horrence OF fraud in any form. 10 pre-
cent with accuracy and clearness the exac:
situation in each of its varying phases, and
to expound, according 10 its weil-known
methods, the principles that should guide
us through the labyrinth, will 10 an inn
portant part of THE SUMS work for 1879.
