The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1879-01-25
THE sun FOR 1879.

4 TIE SrN will be printed every day during tht
/ year to come. Its purposes and method will h
the same as in the past To present all the news
IN readable shape. and to tell the truth though
the heavens fall.
Tue Sun has been. is and will continue to bt
independent Of everybody and everything save
the Truth and its own conviction OF duty. THAI
is the only policy which an honest newspaper
need have That is the policy which has won
for the newspaper The confidence and friendship
/ OF a wider constituency than was ever enioyed
by any other American Journal.
/ THE Sun is the newspaper for the people. Ii
is not for The rich man against the poor man. OF
for the poor man against :he rich man, but il
seeks to do equal Justice to al 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 fvr the honest
man against the rogues every time. 1t is for
the 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 ntterances of any politi-
clan or political organization. It gives it sup
port unrcservedly when E,en or measures are in
agreement with the Constitution and with the
principles upon which this Republic was found
ed for the people. Whenever the Constitution
and constitutional principles are violated-as in
the outrageous conspiracy Of 1876, by which a
man not elected was placed in the Presidents
office, where he still relnains-t speaks out for
the right. That is The Suns idea of independ-
ence. In this respect there will be no change in
its programme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned the hearty hatred
Of the rascals, frauds and humbugs Of all sorts
and sizes. 1t hopes hopes to deserve that ha-
tired not less in the year 1879. than in 1878,
1877, or any year gone by. THE Sun will con
tinue to shine on the wicked with unmitisatcd
brightness
While the lessons of the past should be con
stantly kept before the people. The Sun does not
propose to make itself in 1879 magazine of
ancient history. It is printed chiefly with the
affairs Of to-day. 1t has both the disposition and
the ability to afford its readers the promptest,
fullest, and most accurate intelligence of what
ever in 'the wide world is worth attention. To
this end the resources belonging to wel-estab-
lished prosperity will be literally employed
The present disointed condition Of the parties
in this country, and the uncertainty of the ftl-
| ture lend an extraordinary significance to the
events Of the coming year. The discussions Of
the press, the debates and acts of Congress, and
the movements Of the leaders in every section of
the Republic will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election Of lSS0-an event which
must be regarded with the most anxious interest
~ SsSiy pdhlioLlC nHlCIlCdl, whatever pOiiI>
ical ideas or allegiance. To these elements of
interest may be added the probability that the
Democrats will control both houses of Congress,
the increasing fcebleness Of the fraudulent Ad-
minhtratioD, and the spread strengthening every
where Of healthy adherence of fraud in any
form. To present with accuracy and clearness
the exact situation in eacbs6f its varying phases.
and to expound. according to its well known
mchol the principles that should gnide lis
through the labyrinth. will be an important part
OF TIE Suns work for 1879.
