'Ehe SUN for 1880.

The SUN will deal with the events Of tho
year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty
we'll understood by everybody. From
January l until December 81, it will bc
conducted as newspaper, written in tho
English language, and printed for tho
people.
AS newspaper, tho Sun believes iu
getting all the ncws of the world promptly,
and presenting it in tic most ineligible
shapc---t' shape that will enable its read
ers to keep we'll abreast Of the age with tho
least unproductivc expenditure of time.
The greatest interest to the greatest number
that is, the law controlling its daily
mako up. 1t now has circulation very
much larger than that of any other Amer--
eau newspaper, aud enjoys an income which
it is at NIL times prepared to spend liboraly
| for tho benefit of its readers. People Of all
conditions Of lilc aud all ways of thinking
buy and read the SUN; and they all derive
satisfaction Of somo sort from its columns,
for they keep on buying and reading it.
In its comments on men and affairs the
SuN believes that the only guido of policy
should be common sense, inspired by genu,
inc American principles and backed by
honesty OF purpose. For tlis reason it is
and will continue to be, absolutely indcpcn-
dent of party, class, clique, organization or
interest. 1t is for all, bus of none 1t
will continue to praise what is good and
rcprobato what is evil, taking caro- that its
language is 10 the point and plain, beyond
The possibility Of being misunderstood. It
! is uninflucnccd by motives that do not ap.
pear on the surface; it has TO opinions to
sell, save those which may be had by any
purchaser with t%o cents 1t hates inus
tce aud rascality even more than it hates
unnecessary words. 1t abhors frauds, pities
fools, and dcpores ninccmpoops of every
species. 1t will continue throughout the
year 1850 to chastisc the first class, instruct
the second, and discountcnancc the third
All honest mcu, with honest convictions,
whether sound or mistaken, are its f.cuds.
And the Sun makes no bones Of telling the
truth to its friends aud about its friends
whenever occasion arises for plain speaking
These arc the principles upon which tho
Sun will be conducted during the year to
come.
The year 1880 will Lc one in which no
patriotic American can afford to close his
eyes to public affairs. 1t is impossible TO
cxaggcratc the Importance Of the political
events which it has in store. or the necessity
ofrcso!utc vigilance Gu the part of every
citizen who desires to preserve the Govern
mcnt that the founders gave U.s. The
debates and aeta Of Congress, the uttcranccs
Of the prc9a, the exciting contests of the
fcpnh'ican and Democratic parties, now
nearly equal III strength throughout the
coun'ry, !he varying drift Of public scn,i
mcnt vii! all bear directly aud effectively
upon the twenty fourth Presidential clec-
ton, 10 be held in November. -Four years
ago next November the will of the nation,
as expressed at The polls, was thwarted by
an abominablc conspiracy, tho promoters
and bcncGoiasics of which still hold the
n!liccs they stole VIII tho crime of 1876
be repeated in 1880? The past decade of
years opcucd with corrupt, cx!ravagant
and nsolcnt Administration intrenchcd at
Washington. The Sun did something
toward dislodsing the gang and breaking
lis power. The same men are now intrigu.
ing to restore their leader ard themselves
to places from which they were driven by
the iniisnation OF tho people Will they
Succe2d? The coming year will briug the
| fnswcH to these momcntous questions
The Sun will DC on hand to chronicle the
facts as they arc developed. and to exhibit
them clearly and fcarlcssly in their relations
to cXpcdiency and right.
Thus, with a habit Of philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs Of life
and III great things stcadfast purpose to
maintan the rights Of the people and the
principles OF the Constitution against all
aggcssors, the SUN is prepared to write
truthful, instructive, and at the same time
entertaining history Of 1880.
