THU PHILADELPHIA TIMES.
THE FINES FOR 1851.

THE TINES will enter the New Year with lar
ger circle of regular readers than it had at any
previous period of its history, and the important
events OF the next year must steady enlarge the
field of Independent journalism.
A new administration will be naugurated: new
political occasions will create new political du-
ties; the great commercial and industrial pros
perity of the country must stimulate progress and
thrift in all sections and the tendency of political
power Will be toward corruption and deSpotism,
as it ever is when the people are diverted from the
stern criticism Of authority by peace and plenty.
THE TIMES will be in the future, as 1t has been
in the past, absolutely independent of political
parties, but earnestly and fearleSsly devoted to
integrity and patriotism in our craftsmanship and
to the freedom and sanctity of the ballot De
pendent 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 de-
mand IT, and to lavish the regulation praise of the
servant TO the master; but the growing intelli-
gence of the age daily multiplies the readers of
the Independent newspaper, and the journals
which best reflect the rapidly increasing indie
pendence of the people will be the great Amori-
can journals of the future.
THE TIMES aims TO reach the highest standard
of the independent newspaper. 1t fearlessly OPP
poses corruptionists and rings in all parties,
whether in city, state or nation. 1t opposes every
fern of imperial political domination, whether
represented by an individual, by afaction or by
party. 1t opposes sectiOnalism North i'm South
as the demon of the Republic, and it demands
public tranquility and the supremacy of liberty
and law for every citizen of the Union.
THE TINES will begin the New Year strength
ened in all of its already exceptionally strong de-
partmcnts. Its Annals of the War will be con-
tnued in the WEEKLY EDITION with specially
interesting extracts thercfrom in the other edi-
tons and the contributors for 1881 to this import
