Mr.. Stone, the able aud industrious Editor of the
Albany Gazette and Daily Advertiser, has an
nounced the termination of his editorial career.
The following are extracts from bis parting ad-

"Infects one comma IN the course hold"
AS the last words and dying speeches ofpeopie,
however unimportant, generally receive more al
tention, and are longer remembered, than All the
other transactions oftheir lives, we deem TINS
proper occasion to offer a few words OF wholesome
advice to our old friends, acquantances ana lei
low labourers. -
First. then. to those worthy people, who have
the good fortune vet TO remain FEDERALlsrs-an
honorable men, and always dearest 10 cur heart'
We exhort them earnestly to hold last TO their
principles and to continue In the practice oil iaith
and good works. We are minority, It Is true,
but Il is pure minority and although our ranks
have been reduced by death and deserfion, yet
enough Of US yet remain to save our country, when
our services are required. FEDERAIIsTs -lhis

of Cowper:
Irsnerate the man, who,s heart is lsarm, -
nose hands are pare, whose doctrine &achose lsts,

That ne is honest in the sacred cause.
To zach render more than mere respect,
whose actions sag, that they respect hemsslUts."

To all holders of profitable Offices, we recon-
mend the immediate perusal Of Mr.. Southwick's
celebrated ode in favour Of Trimming publish
ed we believe, early in 1913.
Our brother editors in the eastern States we
earnestly recommend to continue faithful and
close Observance Of the movements of the Sea-
Serpent and from time to time to delight, aston
sh and confound the goodly inhabitants Of this
goodly country with delectifying accounts Of his
movements, sports, diversions &c.-lE5- IL Is
shrewdly suspected that his high and mighty
Snakeship is no more nor less than the guardian
spirit of ConnecticaLt IolerGtion as he has never
appeared excepting during the session ofthe Toll
Grafton Legislatures and furthermore it appears
that he has swelled in his dimensions, as the
federation people have swelled in numbers.
Our friend and neighbour Buei, we hope, will
continue to preserve his usual equanimity OF tenn
per. and manage his hand always 70 have
strong suit of trumps. We speak pqlitically.J
We advise him to hold on upon the State Print
ing until the Legislature feels disposed TO give It
70 us-when we are perfectly willing he should
retire from business. In the mean time, we hope
be will keep good his stock Of pipes and tobacco,
AZ while we are out Of business, we intend occa-
sionally to call and enjoy a comfortable and
friendly pipe with HIM
Nine tenths of the publishers Of newspapers in
thi. State we would sincerely advise to burn up
their presses, and, instead of shutting clean pa
per, change their employment to the more hon.
durable and more profitable one of digging ,pota-
toes. $50
OF our friend Noah, Of the National Advocate,
we now most cordially take our leave Tor the
present, assuring him, at the same time, that
should fortune, in any of her frocks, place US a.
gain in an editorial chair, we shall be happy 10
tilt lance with him. In the mean time, we re-
commend strict attendance al the synagogue,
an amendment of his morals, and At least par
tial cure for that sore malady with winch ne IS
afflicted. called the eaeoethes scrabsndi we must
however, entreat him to exercise a,httleg more
mercy and clemency towards his neighbour Spoo-
ner /: and if he has any regard for he own inter
est, to keep clear of Albany with his .ddpo-
edfe.n
We hardly know what advice to give MrSpoo-
FER. Of the Columbian. We think, however, he
should either dismiss that shoal Of snait-fry Edi-
tors, who CALAMITY fight under his colours, so
much to the annoyance Of the publick and TO the
DISGRACE ofhinselfor retire to Long-island ,there
TO foster the little 6 Brooklyn Star" which used
TO twinkle under his auspices
Messrs Lang and Turner, Of the New-fo
Gazette, we would advise either to make us an
equal partner in their concern, or dispose OF it to
us altogether, upon liberal credit cash being
out of the question:
The man over in the alley, who nurses the AL
tany Register, we should advise to fly back to
0fseco "a n,,,ck 40 poasihle and shelter himself
