Boon's Lick times. [volume] (Fayette, Mo.) 1840-1848, 1840-09-05
TO THE PATRONS OF THE BoON'S LICK
INES

The present number closes my connection with
the Boon's Lick Times. As expressed in my open
ing address, II was my intention and desire to To-
cate myself permanently in this community, and
On no other consideration but in more effectua llv
subscribing the interest of the great and glorious
cause in which have devoted what little of talent
and energy possess, and at the same time con-
sulling my Individual interest, could l have been
induced to take the course thus suddenly resolved
upon. The liberality and generous confidence Of
my patrons and friends would justly forbida gratu-
tous withdrawal. Pecuniary interest, or desire
to disconnect myself with this paper, unaccompan-
led with higher and more substantial reasons would
be reprehensible in me and ungenerous and uni ust
to you. lis therefore, with feelings of great sat-
isfacton, that lam enabled to announce transfer to
the hands of able and reliable conductors. JAMES
R. Benson s. CLARK H. GREEN, are the purchasers,
and, under their control'and guidance, the Times,
hencefOrward, will be conducted. With an bidding
confidence in their ability, their good reputation
for honesty and uprightness of character, cheer
fully yield them my post, and with sincere re-
gard for their prosperity and success, recommend
them TO yeur encouragement patronage and regard
Although my stay with you has been very short,
and during an important and exciting political con :
test, my feelings are strongly allied with yours,
and with your success l feel the deepest interest
1t is gratifying consolation, to know that although
the Wings still in a minority vet, in thi,
county particularly, not in hopeless one--that
the Wing strength has almost daily, for the last
few months, augmented and that the Republicans
the true Jefiersonian Republicans, have more cause
for graduation, in the prospects before them than
ever before. Whether the influence of my abors
have conduced to that result, is matter to be con.
sidered by you--your efforts in connection with
those of your humble servant have produc ed
most glorious achieveme mt IN the good cause we
are engaged, and success s--,riumphant success,
can only be gained and maintained by that unity
Of action, and perseverance, which has distin-
guished the conduct and course of the Wings dur.
ing the late campaign. That the battle is an unfair
one-the ofice-holders, the Bank, and the govern
ment patronage arrayed against you--wieldng a
most powerful and almost uncomfortable influence
is an undisputed fact still we have undeniable
and incontroverbe proof, in the glorious result at
our August election, that with the same cDergy.
the same Independence and the same honesty of
purpose which characterized the course of the
Wings in that strife--relyng upon the intelligence
and virtue Of the people, appealing to the UNDER
STANDING and REASON Of alto the h,story as your
egis' against the Illuminated abuse and ungenerous
aud basely false assertions of your opponenls-you
can and MUST triumph, and that speedily. Permit
me to urge, in the language of that good and pa
triolic motto, Keep the flag .Ryiag,-DIE but
NEVER SURRENDER" &C. CADY.
