THE SUN FOR 1880,

| THE Sun will deal with the events of the yea
| 1870 in its own fashion, now pretty well under
| stood by everybody. From January l until De
cember 81 it will be conducted as newspape
written in the English language and printed fol
the whole people.
AS u cwspaper, TnS Sun believes in getting al
the news Of the world promptly, and presenting
it in the most Ineligible shape-the shape thai
will enable its readers to keep we'll abreast of the
age with the least unproducive expenditure Of
time. The greatest interest to the greatest mum
ber-thnt is the law controlling its daily makeup
II now has circulation very much larger
than that Of any other American newspa-
per, and enjoys an income which it il at all times
prepared TO spend literally for the benefit OF its
readers. People OF all conditions Of life and all
ways Of thinking buy and read THE Sun; and they
all derive satisfaction Of some sort from its COL
umns, for they keep on buying and reading it
In its comments on men and affairs, The Sun be-
lieves that the only guide Of policy should be
common sense, inspired by genuine American
principles and backed by honesty of purpose.
For this reason 1t is, and will continue to be- alb
soutely Independent of party, class, clique,
ganiZation, or interest IL Is Tor all, but of none.
1t will continue to 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. 1t Is influenced by motives
that do not appear on the surface; it has no opn-
ions to sell, save those which may be had by any
purchaser with two cents. 1t hates Injustice and
rascality even more than 1t hates unnecessary
words. 1t abhors frauds, pities fools, and de-
plores nincompoops of every species. 1t will
continue drought the year 1850 to chastise the
first class, instruct the second. and discountenance
the third. All honest men, with honest convc-
tons, whether sound or mistaken are its friends
And TnE Sun makes no bones Of telling the truth
TO its friends aud about its friends whenever &C.
casion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which THE Sun
will DO conducted during the year to come.
The year 1850 will be one in which no patriotic
American can Afford to close his eyes to public
affairs. 1t is impossible to exaggefate the i'm
portance of the political events which it has in
store, or the necessity of resolute vigilance on |
the part OF every citizen who desires to preserve |
the Government that the founders gave us. The |
debates aud acts Of Congress. the utterances of
the press, the exciting contests of the Republic |
can and Democratic parties, now nearly equal in |
strength throughout the country, the varying drift
OF public sentiment, will all bear directly and eff
'ectivsly upon the twenty-fourth Presidential
election, 10 be held in November. Four years
ago next November, the will of the nation, as ex-
pressed at the polls, was thwarted by an abomi-
hable conspiracy, the promoters and benefciaries
ot which still hold the Offices they stole. will
