The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1880-01-24
A spacious Mule Pen
THE sun FOR 1850.

The Sun will deal with the events of the
year 1880 in it, own fashion, now pretty well
understood by everybody. From January
/ until December 81 it will be conducted az
a newspaper, written in the English Ian
guage, and printed for the people.
As a newspaper, The Sun believes in get
ting all the news Of the world promptly, and
presenting it in the most intelligible shape
the shape that will enable it's readers to
keep well abreast of the age with the least
unprOductiva expenditure OF time The
greatest interest to the greatest number
that is the law controlling its daily make
up. 1t now has circulation very much
larger than that Of any other American news
paper, aud enjoys an income which it is at
benefit of its readers. People Of all condi-
tons of life and all ways of thinking buy
and read The Sun; and they all derive sat
istacti0n Of some sort from its columns. for
they keep on buying and reading it.
In ita comments on men and affairs, The
Sun believes that the only guide of policy
Should be common sense, inspired by genu-
inc American principles and backed by
honesty ot purpose. For this reason it is,
and will continue to be. absolutely indie
pendent OF party, class, clique. organization
or interest. 1t is for all, but Of none It
will continue to praise what is good and
reprobate what is evil taking care tina. it's
language is to the point aud plain, beyond
the possibility OF being misunderstood. 1t
is uninhuenced by motives that do not APP
pear 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 cascality even more than it hates un-
necessary words. 1t abhors frauds, pities
fools, and deplorcs nincOmpOops of every
species. 1t will continue throughout the
Year 1890 to chastise the first class, instruct
the second, and discountenance the third.
All honest men, with honest convictions.
whether sound or mistaken, are its friends.
And The Sun makes nv bones of telling the
truth to its friends and about its friends
whenever occasion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The
Snn will be conducted during the year to
come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no pa-
trotic American can afford to close his eyes
to public affairs. 1t is impossible to exap-
gerate the Importance of the political events
res''lute vigilance on the part of every citi-
zen who desires to preserve the Government
that the founders gave us. The debates and
acts OF Congress, the utterances Of the press,
the exciting contests OF the Republican and
Democratic parties, now nearly equal in
strength throughout the country, the vary
ing drift Of public sentiment will all bear
directly and effectively upon the twenty

answers to these moment0us questions The
Sun will be on hand to chronicle the facts
as they are developed and to exhibit them
clearly and fearlessly in their relations to

Thus. with habit Of philosophical good

and in great things q steadfast purpose to
maintain the rights of the people and the
principles Of the Constitution against all
aggressors, The Sun is prepared to write
truthful. instructive, and at the same time
