The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1879-11-12
THE SUN FOR 1880.


THE Sun will deal with the events of the
year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well
understood by everybody. From January J
until December 81 it will be conducted a
newspaper, written in the English language
and printed for the people.
As newspaper, The SUS believes In getting
all the news of the world promptly, and pre-
sentIng il in the most Ineligible shape-the
shape that will enableits readers to keep well
abreast of the age with the least unproductiye
expenditure of time. The greatest interest to
the greatest number-that Isl the law control
ling its daily makeup. II now has circula-
ton very much larger than that of any other
American newspaper, and enjoys al income
which il rs at all times prepared to spend
literally for the benefit of its readers. Peo-
pie of all conditions of life and all ways of
thi liking buy and read The Sun and they all
derive satisfaction of some sort from its col
umns for they keep on buy ing and reading
it.
In its comments on meh and 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 it is, and will
continue TO be, absolutely independent Of
party, class, clique, organi CATION or interest
1t Is for all, but Of none. 1t viii continue to
praise what Is good and reprobate what is
evil, taking care that its language is to the
point and plain, beyond the possibility of
being misunderstood. Il is unnAuenced by
motives that do rot appear on the surface: IL
be had by any purchaser with two cents Ii
hates injustice and rascality even more than
1t hates unnecessary words. 1t abhOrs frauds
pitles fools, and deplOres nincOmpoOps Of
every species. 1t will continue throughout
the year 1880 to chastse the trst-olass instruct
the second, and discountenance the third. 4 II
honest men, with honest convictions, whether
sound or mistaken. are its friends. And The
Sun makes no bones Of telling the truth to its
friends and about its friends whenever occa-
sion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which THE
Sun will be INDICTED during the year to
come.
The year 1880 will he one in which no patri-
otto American afford to close his eyes to
public affairs, it is impossible to exaggeFate
the Importance of political events which 1t
has in store, or the necessity of resolute vigil
ance the part of every citizen who desires
to preserve the Government that the founders
gave us. The debates and acts Of Congress,
the utterances of the press, the exciting con-
tests of the Republican and Democratic par
ties now nearly equal in strength throughout
the country, the varying drift of public SEN
timent, will all bear directly and effectively
1pon the twenty-fourth Presidential election,
to be held in November. Four gears ago next
November the will of the nation, 5 expressed
at the polls, was thwarted by an abOminable
conspiracy, the promoters aud benefcIaries Of
which still hold the Offices they stole. Will
the crime of 1876 be repeated in lSSOp The
past decade of years opened with corrupt,
extravagant, and insOlent Administration in
trenched at Washington. TUE Sun did some
thing toward disloding the gang and breakin Q
its power. The same men are now intrIg AN Z
TO restore their leader and themselves to
places from which they were driven by the
indignation of the people. Will they sue
ceed2 The coming year will bring the
answers to these momentous questions. THE
Sun will be on hand to chroRicle the facts as
1 they are developed, anu to exhibit them clear
/ ly and fearlessly in their relations to exPedi-
ency and right.
! Thus with a habit of philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs Of life
and in great things a steadfast purpose to
maintain the rights of the people and the
! principles Of the Constitution against all ag-
gressOrs, The SuE Is prepared to write q
a truthful instructive and at the same time
entertaining history of lssa.
