LITERARY.
the SUN FOR 1879.

THE SUN will be printed every day
during ths year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as ia 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
every thing 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 constitu-
ency than was ever enjoyed by any other
American journal.
THE SUN il the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t is not for the rich man against
the poor man, or for the poor man agains.
the rich man, but it seeks to do equal jus
tice to all classes 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 for the honest
man against the rogues every time. 1t is
for the honest Democrat as against the
dishonest Republican, and for tho honest
Republican as against the dishonest DEM
ocrat. 1t does not take Its cue from the
utterances Of any politician ur political or
ganization. 1t gives its support unreserv-
edly when men or measures are in agree
ment with the Constitution aud with tbu
principles upon which this Republic was
founded ior tho people. Whenever the
Constitution and constitutional principles
are violated--as in the outrageous conspir-
acy OF 1876, by which man not elected
was placed in the Presidents office, where
ho still remains--it speaks out for the
right. That is THE SUMS idea of iude-
pendence. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme for 1879.
THE SUN has fairly earned the nearly
L. af IN lt,t,era Of
ali sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that haired not less in the year 1879 than
in 1873, 1877, or any year gone by. THE
SUN will continue to shine on the wicked
with unmitigated brightness.
Whilst the lessons OF the past should be
constantly kept before the people, 1HE
SUN does not propose to make itself in
1879 q magazine Of ancient history. 1t is
printed for the men and women Of to-day,
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs OF
to-day. 1t has both tho disposition and
the ability to afford its readers the prompt
est, fullest and most accurae intelligence
of whatever in the wide world il worth at
tention. To this end the resources belong
ing to well.established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disjointed condition Of par
ties in this country and the uncertainty OF
the future lend an extraordinary signiti-
capce to the events of the coming year.
The discussions OF the press, the debates
and acts of Congress, and the movements
ct tho leaders i'll every section OF the Re-
public, will have direct bearing on the
Presidential election OF lso0--an event
which must DO regarded with the most
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
ican, whatever his political ideas or al!e-
glance. To these clements OF interest may
