LITERARY.
the SUN FOR 1873.

THE SUN will be printed every day
during the year to come. Its purpose and
method will be the same as In the past:
To present all the news in a 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 IL wider coustitu -
ency than was ever enjoyed by any other
Americas journal.
THE SUN is the newspaper for the peo-
pie. 1t is not tor the rich man against
the poor man, or for the poor man against
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 the honest
Republican as against the dishonest DEM
ocrat. 1t does not take Its cue fro Il the
utterances of any politician Or political or
ganlzatlon. 1t gives its support unreserv-
edly when mon or measures are Ia agree
ment with the Constitution and with the
principles upon which this Republic was
founded Tor the people. Whenever tho
Constitution ana constitutional principles
are violated AS in the outrageous conspir-
acy Of 1876, by which u man not elected
was placed IN the Presidents Office, where
he still remains-it speaks out for the
right. That is TIL n SUMS idea of indie
pendence. In this respect there will be no
change in its programme Tor 1879.
TIE SUN has fairly earned the nearly
hatred OF rascais, frauds and humbugs Of
all sorts and sizes. 1t hopes to deserve
that haired not less in the year 1879 than
in 1878, 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 tho people, lHE
sun does not propose to make Itself In
1879 a magazine OF ancient history. 1t Is
printed for the men and semen of to-day,
whose concern is chiefly with the affairs OF
to-day. 1t has both the disposition and
the ability to afford Its readers the prompt
est, fullest and most accurate intelligence
of whatever in the wide world is worth at
tentloA. 10 this end the resources belong
ing to weli-established prosperity will be
literally employed.
The present disjointed condition OF par
ties III this country and the uncertainty OF
the future lend an extraordinary signif-
canoe to the events of the coming year.
The discussions OF the press, the debates |
and acts Of Congress, and the movements |
OF the leaders III every section of the Re |
public, will have direct bearing on the |
Presidential election of l8S0-an event |
which must be regarded with the most /
anxious interest by every patriotic Amer
lean, whatever his political ideas or alie-
glance. To these elements Of interest may |
be added the probability tnat the Demo-
Gratis W II control both houses Of Congress,
the increasing feebleness OF the fraudulent |
Administrator. and the spread and |
strengthening everywhere of healthy at>
horrence OF fraud III any form. 10 pre- |
sent with ACCURACY and clearness the exact |
situation in each OF It's vary ing phases, and !
to expound, according TO lJs weil-known
methods, the principles that should guide
us through the labyrinth, VIII Ue an I'M
