The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1880-01-31
THE sun FOR 1850.

The San 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 as
newspaper. written in the English lam
guage, and printed for the people,
Asa newspaper, The Sun believes in get
| ting all the news Of the world promptly, and
presenting it in the most Ineligible shape
the shape that will enable it's readers to
| keep we'll abreast Of the age with the least
| unproductivo 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, and enjoys an income which it is ut
all times prepared to spend literally for the
benefit OF it's readers. People of I'LL con,li-
tions of life and all ways of thinking buy
and read Tho Snn; and they all derive sat
isfaction Of some sort from its columns, for
they keep on buying and reading it.
In it's comments or men and affairs The
should be common sense, inspired by genu.
inc American principles and backed by
honesty of purpose. For this reason it ia.
and will continue to be, absolutely indie
pendent of party, class, clique, organization
or interest. 1t is for all, but of nons. It
will continue to praise what is good and
reprobate what is evil, taking care that it's
language is to the point and plain, beyond
the possibility Of being misunderstood. It
is uninfuenccd by motives that do not an
pear on the surface; it has no opinions to
sell, save those which may be had by any
purchaser with two cents. It hates injustice
and rascality even more than it hates un-
necessary words. 1t abhors frauds, pities
fools, and deplores nincompoops of eyery
species. 1t will continue throughout the
year 1880 to cbastise the first class, instruct
the second, and discOuntenance the third
All honest men, with honest convictions
whether sound or mistaken, are it's friends
And The Sun makes no bones of telling the
truth to it's friends and about it's friends
whenever he, occasion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which TIE
S,sn will be conducted during the wear to
come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no pa
triotic American can afford to close his ewes
to public affairs. 1t is impossible to exap-
gerate the Importance Of the political events
which it has in store, or the necessity of
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 |
November. -Four years ago next November
the will Of the nation, as expressed at the |
polls, was thwarted by an abominable CON
splracy, the promoters and benefciaries of |
which still held the Offices they stole. Will
the crime OF 1876 be repeated in 1902 The
past decade OF years opened with corrupt,
extravagant, and insolent Administration I
intrenched at Washington. The Sun did
something towards 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 Tho coming year will bring 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
and right.
Thus, with habit Of philosophical good
humor in looking at the minor affairs Of life,
and in great things steadfast purpose to
the rights of the people and the
principles of the Constitution against all
aggressors, The Stt" is prepared to write
truthful, instructive, and at the same time
history of 1880
