THE SUN FOR 1880.

The Sun viii deal with the events Of the
year 1850 in its own fashion, now retty
January l until December 81 it will be con-
Quoted as a newspaper written in the Eng
lish language and printed for the whole
people.
AS Il newspaper, The Sun believes in
getting all the news of the world promptly
and presenting it i'll the most intelligible
shape-the shape that will enable its read
ers to keep well abreast of the age with the
least unproductive expenditure of time.
ber-that is the law controlling its daily
makeup. 1t now has circulation very
much larger than that of any other Amer
lean newspaper, and enjoys an income
which it is ut all times prepared to spend
'liberally 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 satisfaction of some sort
| from it's 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 policy
uine American principles and backed by
honesty of 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. 1t
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. 1t
is unin1luenced by motives which do not
appear on the surface; it has opinions
to sell, save those which may be had by
any purchaser with two cents. 1t hates in
|
| hates unnecessary words. 1t abhors frauds,
pities fools, and deplores nincompoops OF
| every species. twill continue throughout
the year 1850 to chastise the first class, in
struct the second, and discountenancc the
| third. All honest men, with honest con-
| victions, whether sound mistaken are
| it's friends. And The Sun makes no bones
of telling the truth to its friends and about
it's friends whenever occasion arises for
| plain speaking.
| These are the principles upon which The
Sun Will be conducted during the year TO
| The year 1850 will he one in which no
patriotic American can afford to close his
eyes to public affairs. 1t is impossible TO
eNagSerate the Importance of the political
events which it has in store, or the necessity
of resolute vigilance on the part of every
! ment that the founders gave us. The de-
| bates and acts of Congress, the utterances
| of the press, the exciting contests of tho
| nearly equal in strength throughout the
country, the varying drift of public seni-
ment, will an bear directly and effectively
| upon the oath Presidential election, to be
held in November. Four years ago next
November, the will Of the nation, as ex-
pressed at the polls, was thwarted by an
abominable conspiracy, the promoters and
beneficiaries of which still hold the offices
they stole. Will tho crime of 1876 be re-
peated in 1880? The past decade of years
opened with corrupt. eXtravagant and in
solent Administration intrenched at Wash
ington. The sun did something toward
dislodgingth the gang and breaking its power.
The same men ale now Intriguing to restore
| their leader and themselves to places from
i which they We're driven by the indignat ion
of the people: VIII they succeed? The
coming y ear will bring the answers to these
momentous questions The Sun will be on
hand to chronicle the facts as they are de-
veloped, and to exhibit them clearly and
fearlessly in their relations to expectancy
and right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical good
humor in looking ut the minor affairs of
life, and in great things steadf:tst purpose
to maintain the rights OF the people and
the principles of the Constitution against all
aggressors, The Sun is prepared to write a
truthful, instructive and entertaining his
tory of 1850.
