The SUN FOR 1850,

the sun Will Gtdl With Cne tNtEiS
of the year 1880 in it's own fashion,
now pretty well understood hy
everybody. From January l ana,
December 81 wiH.be conducted as ii
newspaper, written in the English
language, aud printed for the peo~
pie.
As a. newspaper, The Sun be-
l,eyes In getting all the news OF the
world promptly, and presenting it
IN tho most intelligible shape-the
Shape that will enable its readers TO
keep we'll abreast of the age with
the, least unprOductive expenditure
of time. The greatest interest TO
the greatest number-that Is the
law controlling its daily makeup.
Ii now has IL circulation very much
larger than that OF any other
American newspaper, and enjoys
an income which it is at all times
prepared to spend literally for the
benefit of its readers. People OF
adj conditions OF life aud all ways
of thinking buy and read The:Sun j:
and they ALI drriyo satisfaction of
some sort frog. its columns, for they
keep Oil buying and reading it.
In it's comments on men and af>
fairs, The Sun believes that the
only guide of policy should te com
mon sense, inspired by genuine
American principles and backed by
honesty of purpose. For this reason
it is, and will continue to be, ALSO
futely independent Of party, class
clique, organization, of interest.
1t is for all, bat of none: 1t will con
|tinue to praise what Is good and
reprobate what is evil, taking care
that its language is to the point and
plain, beyond the possibility of be-
ing misunderstood. It is uniufu-
enced by motives that do not ap.
pear OH the surface it has no opih-
ions to sell, save those which may
he had 10y any purchaser with two
cents. 1t hates injustice and ras>
cality even more than it Rates. un y
necessary words 1t abhors frauds.
pities fools: and drplores- nincom-
poOps of every species, It will con
linue throughout the ear, 1880: to
ci,astise the frst class; ,jnstfuct the
-rcond, and circumference the
bird. All honest men, with hon
est. convictions, whether sound or
mistaken, are its friends. Aid The
Sun makes no bones OF telling the
truth TO it's friends. and about it's
friends whenever occasion arises for
plain speaking.
These are the principles upon
which The Sum will be- conducted
during the year to come.
The year 1880 will be one in
which no patriotic American can
atfo.d to close his eyes to public
affairs. 1t Is impossible to exag>
gerate the importance of tue pOliti
cal events which it has III store, NJ
the necessity of resOlute vigilance.
on the part OF every citizen who
desires to preserve the Governmet
that the founders gave us. The
debates and acts Of Congress, the
utterance Of the press. the exciting
contests Of tho Republican and
Democratic parLies, row nearly equal
in strength throughout the Country.
the varying DRIFT Of public senti-
ment, will all bear directly and ,ef-
ftctiveIy upon the twenty fourth
Presidential election, to DR. held ia
November. Four years ago next
November the will of the nation, as
express cd at the polls, WAS .thwarted
by an aboninable conspiracy, the
pl omotersand bencficiaris.s of which,
still hold the office they stole. Will
the crime Of 1876 be- repeated in
lSS0i The past decade OF years
opened with corrupt. extravagant,
and. insOlent Administration ill.,
7rehched at Washington. The Sun
did something toward dislodging
the gang and Breaking its power.
The same men are now intriguing to
restore their leader and themselves
to places from which they ..were
driven by the india nation of the
people Will they succeed The
coming year will bring the answers
70 these momentous questions. The
Sun will be on hand to chronicle the
facts as they are developed. aud to
exhibit them clearly and fearlessIy
in their relations to expedieucy and
right.
Thus, with q habit of philosophi-
cal good hume: in looking at the
minor atf,ils OF. life, and in great
things steadfast purpose TO main
tain the tights of the people and
Of the constitution against
all aggressors, The San is prepared
to write truthful, Instructive, and
at the same time entertaining his
tory of 1880.
