The Sum for 1850.

TNHE SUN will deal with the events OF the
i wear 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty
we'll understood by everybody. From January
| until December 81 it will be conducted as
a newspaper written in the English language
and printed for the whole people
AS newspaper, TIE SUN believesi in getting
all the news of tbs week promptly, and pre-
senting it in the most intelligibtc shape--the
shape that will enable its readers to keep well
abrest of the age with the least unproductive
expenditure of time. The greatest interest to
the greatest nuinber-that is the law control
ing its daily makeup. 1t now has a circn!a-
ton very much larger than that of any other
American newspaper, and enjoys an income
which it is ut all times prepared to spend liber-
ally for the benefit of its readers. People OF
all conditions of life and oil ways of thinking
buy and read THE Sun, and they all derive
satisfaction of some sort from its columns. for
they keep on buying and reading it.
In its columns on men and affairs, HE Sun
believes that the only guide of policy should
be common sense, inspired BY genuine AEieri-
can principles and backed by honesty Of pnr-
pose. For this reason it is and will continue to
be, absolutely independent of party, class,
clique, organization, or interest. II is Tor all,
but of nome Ii will continue to praise what II
good and reprobate what is evil. taking care
that its language is to the point and plain, be
yond the possibility OF being misunderstood
1t is uninffuence,f by motives that do not ap-
pear on the surface; 10 has no opinions to sell,
save those which may be had by any purchaser
with two cents. 1t hates injustice and rascal
ity even more than it hates unnecessary words
1t abhors frauds, pities fools, and deplores min
compoOps of every species. 1t will continue
throughout the year 1880 to chastise the first
class, Instruct the second, and discOuntenance
the third. All honest men, with honest con
victions, whether sound or mistaken, are its
friends And THE Sun makes no bones OF tell
ing the truth to its friends and about it's friends
These are the principles upon which The
Sun will be conducted during the year to come
The year 1880 will be one in which no patri
otic American can afford to close his eyes to
public affairs. 1t is impossible to exaggcrate
the Importance of the political events it has III
store, or the necessity of resolute vigilance on
the part of every citizen who desires to pre-
serve the government that they gave us. The
debates and acts of Congress, the utterances
of the press the exciting contests OF the he
publican and Democratic parties, now nearly
equal in strength throughout the country, the
varying drift OF public sentiment, will all bear
directly and effectively upon the twenty fourth
Presidential election to be held in November.
Four years ago ne xt November, the will of the
nation, as expressed at the polls, was thwart
ed by an abominable conspiracy, the prOmptcrs
and beneficiaries Of which still hold the offices
they stole. Will the crime of 1876 be repeated
in 1880. The past decade ofyears opened with
a corrupt, extravagant, and insOlent Admins
tration intrenched ut Washington. THE SUN
did something toward dislodging the gang and
breaking its power. The same men are now
intriguing to restore their leader and them
selves to places from which they were driven
by the Indignation of the people. Will they
succeed? The coming year will bring the an
swer to these mOmentous questions. THE Sun
will be on hand to chronicle the facts rs they
are developed, and will exhibit them clearly
and fearlessly in their relation to expediency
and right.
Thus, with habit of philosophical good
humor in looking ut the minor affairs OF lite and
in great things steadfist purpose to maintain
the rights of the people and the principles of the
Constitution against all aggressors. The Sun
is prepared to write q truthful, instructive,
and entertaining history of 1880.
