THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES,
THE Finn Es FOR 1851.

THE TIMES will enter the New Year with lar
ger circle OF regular readers than it had at any
previous period of its history, and the important
events OF the next year must steadily enlarge the
field of Independent journalism.
new administration will be inauguratcd new
political occasions will create new political du-
ties; the great commercial and industrial pros
perity of the country must stimulate progress and
thrift in all sections, and the tendency OF political
power VIII be toward corruption and despotism,
as it ever is when the people diverted from the
stern criticism Of authority by peace and plenty
THE TIMES will be in the future, as it has been
in the past, absolutely independent of political
parties, but earnestly and fearlessy devoted to
integrity and patriotism in our craftsmanship and
to the freedom and sanctity of the ballot. De-
pendent party organs will continue to babble
about party men and party measures; to excuse
the public jobberand the demagogue; to suppress,
pervert or deny the truth when party interests de-
mand 1t, and to lavish the regulation praise of the
servant to the master; but TIE growing intelli-
gence of the age daily multplies the readers of
the independent newspaper, and the Journals
which best reflect the rapidly increasing indie
pendence OF the people will be the great Ameri-
can journals of the future.
The TIMES aims to reach the highest standard
OF the independent newspaper. 1t fearlessly OPP
poses corruptionists and rings in all parties
whether in city, state or nation 1t opposes every
fern of imperial political domination, wheth or
represented by an individual, by faction or by a
party. 1t opposes secionalsm North an South
as the demon OF the Republic, and it demands
public tranquility and the supremacy of liberty
and lazy for every citizen of the Union.

A PRETTY HoRsg THlEF.-A Rich
mond, Virginia dispatch of January p,
saws: Miss Elizabeth Hammond, Il
young and pretty girl of about %, was
brought to the city TO day and commit
ted to the State Penitentiary TO serve
out a sentence Of three years for horse
stealing in Russell county. The fair
prisoner belongs to highly respectable
family in that section, and well educa-
ted, refined in appearance, and the last
person who would be suspected as a
thief, much less the daring and bold
one which she is alleged TO be. Miss
Hammond is said to have run off with
several valuable horses within the past
few months. She was detected 10 one
of these torays few weeks ago, ar
rested, tried, convicted, and to-day is
the occupant OF cell in the State pris-
on. The accused is petite in form, with
soft, dark brown eyes and chestnut
curls, with a face of peculiar attractive
ness. This is believed to be the first
case where woman has been convicted
on a charge of horse-stealing, and is
certainly the only one of the kind that
ever occurred in this State.
