MISCELLANEOUS.
THE SUN FOR 1880.

The SUN will deal with the events oil
the year 1880 in its own fashion, now pretty
well understood by everybody. From Jam
ua'y until December 81 it will be con.
Quoted as newspaper, written in the Eng.
lish language, aud printed for the people,
As q newspaper, THE SUN believes in
getting all the news Of the world promptly,
aud presenting it In the most intelligible
shape-the sh pc that will ENABLE its read
ers to keep well abreast of the age with the
least unprOductive expenditure of time.
The greatest interest to tine greatest num-
ber-that is the law control ing its daily
makeup. 1t now has q circulation very
much Iarger than that Of any other Amer.
loan newspaper, and enjoys an incoms
which 1t il at oil times prepared to spend
liperally for the benefit Of its readers.
People Of all conditions Of life and all ways
Of thinking buy and read The SUN; and
they all derive satisf ,ction OF some sort
from its columns, for they keep on buying
and reading it.
In It's comments on men and affairs,
The Sun believes that the only guide Of
polly should be commoa sense, inspired
by genuine American principles and
b.cked by honesty Of purpose. For this
reason it Is, and will continue to be, abso-
lutely independent Of party, class, clique,
organization Or interest. 1t is for all, but
OF none. 1t will continue to praise what
is good and reprObate what is evil, taking
care that its language is to the point and
plain, beyond the pos Utility of being mis-
understood. 1t is uniniluenced by motives
that do not appear On the surface: it has no
opinions to sell. save those which may be
had by any purchaser with two cents. 1t
hates injustice and rascality even moro
than 1t hates unnecessary words. 1t abhors
frauds, pities tools, and deplores nincom-
poops Of every species. 1t will continue
throughout the year 1880 to chastise the
first CLASS, instruct the second and discount
tenauce the third. All honest men, with
honest convictions, whether sound or mis-
taken, are its friends. And THE Sun
makes no bones If telling the truth to its
friends and about its friends whenever oc-
casion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which
The BUN will be conducted during the
year to come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no
patriotic American can afford to close his
eyes to public affairs. 1t is impossible to
exaggerate the importance Of the political
events which it has in store, or the neces-
sity Of resolute vigilance on the part Of
every citizen who desires to preserve the
Government that the founders gave US.
The debates and acts Of Congress, the ut
terances Of the press. the exciting contests
of the Republican and Democratic parties,
now nearly equal in strength throughout
the country, the varying drift of public
sentiment, will oil bear directly and effect
lively upon the twenty-fourth Presidential
election, to BIZ held III November. Four
years ago next November the will of the
nation, as expressed at the polls, was
thwarted by sn abominable conspiracy, the
promoters and beneiiciaries Of which still
hold the offices they stole. Will the crime
of 1876 be repeated in 1882 The past dec
ade Of years opened with corrupt, extrav-
agant and lnsOlent Administration in
trenchcd at Washington. THE SUN did
something toward dislOdgiug 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 indignation Of the people.
Will they succeea2 The coming year will
bring tue answers to these momentOus
questions. THE SUN will be on hand to
chronicle the facts as they are developed,
and to exhibit them clearly and fearlessly
in heir relations to expectancy and right.
Thus, with habit Of philosophical good
humor in looking at the miuor affai OF
Ii 9, and in great things steadfast pur-
pose to maintain the rights of the people
and the principles Of the Constitution
