The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1881-01-19
The PhfIadelDhia Times for 1851.

THE TIMES will enter the New Year
than it had at any previous period of its
history, and the important events of the
next year must steadily enlarge the field
of Independent journalism.
A new administration will be iuaugur-
ated new political occasions will create
new Political duties; the great CONNER
cial and industrial prosperity of the
! country must stimulate progress and
thrift in all sections, and the tendency
| of political power will be toward cOrrup-
tiOn and despotism, as it ever is when
! the people are diverted from the stern
| criticism of authority by peace and plen-
| ty.
THE TIMES will be in the future, as it
has been in the past, absolutely indepen-
dent of political parties, but earnestly
and fearlessly devoted to integrity and
patriotism in our craftsmanship and to
the. freedom and sanctity of the ballot.
Dependent party organs will continue to
babble about party men and party meas
ures; 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 grow
ing intelligence of the age daily multi
plies the readers of the independent
newspaper, and the journals which best |
reflect the rapidly increasing indepeu
dence of the people will be the great |
American journals Of the future.
THE TINES aims to reach the highest |
standard of the independent newspaper. |
1t fearIessly opposes corruptionists and |
rings in all parties, y neither in city, State |
or nation. 1t opposes every form of I'M
perial political domination, whether re.
presented by an individual, by faction
or by party. 1t opposes sectionalism
North and South as the demon of the
Republic, and it demands public tran
quillity and the supremacy of liberty
and law for every citizen of the Union.
THE TIMES will begin the New Year
in all of its already excep-
Uionally strong departments. ItsAnnals
of the War will be continued in the
WEEKLY EDITION, with specially inter
esting extracts therefrom in the other
editions, and the contributors for 1881
to this important feature of the paper
will be from the most distinguished SOL
diers and civilians of both North and
South. It's large list of contributors in.
this and in foreign countries will be
more than maintained; its reliable news
correspondence is unsurpassed by that
of any other journal of the country; It's
various departments essential to a com
plete newspaper for the home and family
circle are constantly enlivened by fresh
writers, aud it will maintain the position
it has won solely on its merits, as one of
the most reliable and complete newspa-
pers of the world.
