NEW YORK.

The Sun will be printed every day during tho year
to come Its purpose and method will be the same
as in the past: 10 present all tho in reada-
Bile shape, and to tell the TRUTH though the heavens
fall
dependent of eVt rybody and everything save the
truth and its own convictions of duty. That is the
only policy which an honest newspaper need have.
That is the policy which has won for this newspaper
the confidence mud friendship of wider consituen-
cy than was ever enjoyed by any other American
Journal.
The Sun is the newspaper for the people. Il is
not Tor the rich man ngatnst the poor man, for
the poor man against the rich man, but it seeks to
do equn Justice to all interests in the community
It is not the organ of any person, class, sect par
ty. There need be mystery about its loves and
hates. 1t is for the honest man against the rogueg
every time. 1t is for the honest Democrat as against
tho dishonest Republican, and for the honest Repuh-
lican against the dishonest Democrat 1t does not
take its cue from the utterances Of politician
political organization. Ii gives its support nnreser
Yedly, whom men or measures are in agreement with
the Constitution andswith the principles upoa which
this Republic was founded for the people. Whenes-
er the Cons stttution and constitutional principles
are Violated -as in the outrageous conspiracy of
1876, BY which man not elected was placed in the
Presidents Office whore he still remnns-it speaks
out for the right. That is the suns idea of indcpen-
dence In this respect there will be no change in its
The Sun has fairly earned tho hearty hatred of
rascals, frauds and humbugs OF all sorts and sizes
1t hopes to deserve that hatred not lees in 1879 than
in 1873. 1871. or any year gone by. The sun will
continue to shine on the wicked with undimmed
While the lessons of the past should constantly
be kept before tho people The sun does not propose
to make itself, in 1879, magazine of ancient his
tory, 1t is printed for the and women of to-
day, whose eoncern is chiefly with the affairs of
day. 1t has both the disposition and the ability to
afford its readers the promptcst fullest, and most
accurat intelligence of whatever in the wide world
is worth attention To this end the resources be-
longing to established prosperity will be liber-
ally employed.
The present disiontea condition of parties in this
country, and the uncertainty of the tnture lend
extraordinary significance to the of the com
ing yea,. The discussions of the press. The de-
bates and acts OF Congress, and the movements of
the leaders H. every section of the Republic will
have n direct bearing on the Presidential election

most anxious interest by every patriotic American,
whatever his political idpas allegiance. 70 these
elements Of interest may be added the probability
that the Democrats will control both houses of con
