The political course of tue New York Times will be guided during the Presidential year by the same principles which have won for 1t the position of the foremost Republican newspa- per in the United States. The successful issue of the recent contest in New York, and the unbroken series of Republican victories in other Northern States which preceded and ac- companied it, have combined to demonstrate the soundness of the position of the Times in regard to the questions with which the Repub lican Party is called upon to deal.

 The Times will continue to place fidelity to the interests of the Republican Party above the pursuit of personal aims or private ambl- tion, and will steadfastly insist that the useful ness of any party must be measured by the extent of it's devotion to the honor and welfare of the country. In the future, as in thespast, the attitude of The Times will be that of inde- pendence aoitltin the Republican Party. The maintenance of the national credit; the purifi- cation of the public service; the advocacy of all seasonable projects of fiscal reform, rigid economy in public expenditures opposition to subsidies and corporate jobbery in all it's forms: and the preserv vation of equal rights to all citizens, North and South, will be the sah- ent points of the policy of The Times.

 The Times will continue to be distinguished as an enterprising, accurate, and carefully ed tied newspaper. The acknowledged excel lence and fullness of it's correspondence by mail and telegraph, from all parts of the world, will be adequately maintained, and its facilities for collecting domestic and foreign news will be expanded to meet the increasing. demands of our time.

 In the sphere of literary and artistic criti- cism, of scientific, social, and general discus sion, The. Times, will address itself, as here tofore, to the appreciation of the educated and intelligent classes of the American people. It will be lively without being sensational, az gressiye without being coarse; at all times it will strive to be fearless and independent in the championship of the right. No theorles subversve of the principles on which the sa- credness of family ties and the existence of society alike repQse will be promulgated in it's columns. 4.. g

 The Times rejects all advertisements of lot teries, of quacks and medical pretenders, and of all other agencies by which the insidious poison of vice is disseminated throughout so ciety. It will be in the future, as in the past, a newspaper especially adapted for family reading sf Fts..F

Its conductors will spare no effort not only to maintain it's we'll earned supremacy, but to make it's popularity still more decided. s .. +
