The success, of well conducted State pa
per at the seat cf Government, even in TIE
least Of the twenty.sIZ coafeders cies Of thi
uHion.is OF too much consequence to Be over
looked by any oDe who takes an interest in
pubic affa'rs or the domestic pclicy OF the
country. Ofb0w much greater importance
lhen must It be to the citizens Of SO tourists
ing and powerful State as Ohio whose pos
sition, territory, population. industry and i'm.
pershable resources are scarcely eqaalled by
any State of fhe Union, and certainiy never
can be rivasled BY any ofthe msgic Sis;erhood
that spring insn.exisience, along the almost
eodless streams that pour tlieir annual Aopds
into the majestic Mississippi. 1t is a S9ttkof
central. or ''neatfaI ground,'' where TIE in.
habliants of all other States meet, in their
periodical migrations, miugiing their opinions.
Her government, her politics, lieragric-i.ure,
commerce, and improvements in the facility
of transportation and travel, viii all therefore
be Of deep interest TO the nation, and Of great
magnitude to herself And paper blending
in its columns these various, though connect.
cd interests, cannot fa,lto meet the ve.y gem
eral appreciation Of an enlightened pubic.
Satisfied tbat'9o. people can be prosperou
and happy without they are free--free in
thought, free in every good work, frse from
the shackels OF vicious and mistaken les;sla-
ton, the Ohio Salesman will 'espouse the
doctrines Of the good old Democratic school.
The supremacy of the people, the rights Of
the Stats, and light and simple governS
ment-in contradistinction to a ponderous
and mplex one. These will be the .rdin,
al princip that shall direct me in MY eslito-
rnl Iabors, and upon which I shan diiate as
time and circumstances require. Those who
are governed by honest motives and correct
doctrines cannot stray far from the line of JUS
tee, nor commit political errors OF any great
magnitude, and such sincerely hope may
be the eGViable lot ofthe '.OHIo STATEsMAs.
Men may change, but principles are as en-
during as the knowledge Of 'igood and evil "
The advocates Of legalized monopaiies will
always be distinguished from tie friends Of
equal laws aud individual independence, until
reason ahatl h3ye lost her empire and The na~
tive dignity dscur race extinguahed.
Having scanned closely he private and po-
litical histeEsof Mr Van Euren, early be-
came warm and active in his nomination and
and from the evidences yet before us Of his
fitness for the Office to which the + Grtialities
Of his countrymcn have promoted him, am
more than gratifed at The triumph Of correct
principles in his elevation, AID i-e Il duty
OF conscience 10 give my utmost sup ort to
