THE TIMES FOR 1851.

THE TIMES FOR 1881.
TyHE TIMES entered the New Year with a
Il larger circle of readers than it had at any
previous period of its history, and the impor-
tant events of the next year must steadily en-
large the field of independent journalism.
A new administration will be inaugurated;
new political occasions will create new politi-
cal duties; the great commercial and industrial
prosperity of the country must stimulate pro-
gress and thrift in all sections, and the tenden-
ey of political power will be toward corruption
and despotism, as it ever is when the people
are diverted from the stern criticism of au
thority by peace and plenty.
THE TIMES will be in the future, as it has
been in the past, absolutely independent Of POI
litical parties, but earnestly and fearlessly de-
voted to integrity and patriotism in our ststes-
manship and to the freedom and sanctity of the
ballot; Dependent party organs will continue
to babble about party men and party measures;
to excuse the public jobber and the demagogue;
to suppress, pervert or deny the truth when
party interests demand it, and to lavish the
regulation praise of the servant to the master;
but the growing intelligence of the age daily
multiplies the readers of the independent
newspaper, and the journals which best reflect
| the rapidly increasing Independence of the
people will be the great American journals of
the future.
THE TIMES aims to reach the highest
standard of the independent newspaper. 1t
fearlessly opposes corrnpti9nists and rings in
all parties, whetherin city, State or nation
1t opposes every form Of imperial political
domination, whether represented by an indi.
vidual, by faction or By party. 1t opposes
sectionalisn North and South as the demon of
| the Republic, and it demands public tranquil
| ity and the supremacy of liberty and law for
every citizen of the Union.
THE TIMES will begin the New Year
strengthened in all ofits already exceptionally
will be continued in the WEEKLY EDrTioS,
witt, specially interesting extracts therefrom
| in the other editions, and the contributors for
will be from the most distinguished soldiers
and civilians of both North and South. Its
large list of contributors in this ard in foreign
countries will be more. than maintained Its
reliable news correspondence is unsurpassed
/ By that of any other journal of the country; ifs
various departments essential to q complete
newspaper for the home and family circle are
constantly enlvened by fresh writer's, and IL
will maintain the position It has won solely or
1 its merits, as one Of the most reliable and com
| ptete newspaper of the world.

~ VKyORCESTER'S is, in the estimation of
