Subject 10 the decision of he National COnrcntion.
 Hitherto it has been jointly owned and edited by Mr. Geo. w. Clark, and MT. T. Sterne the former a Democrat, and the latter Whig. This circum- stance has occasioned the neutrality of the paper Mr. CLARKE has now become sole owner and edi- tor and takes ground for his principles. We offer him the right hand of fellowship, with cordial good will and our best wishes for that success which, we doubt not his zeal and ability, in the good cause of the people will insure him. We copy from his in troductory address, the following sensible, manly and patriotic exposition ofhis principles and course:
 '.The period has arrived in the political af- fairs of our Nation when every democrat who sets proper value upon the principles of his party, should array himself before the enemy, and do battle for the canse.'
 In taking this position, we feel impelled by lyiction in the correctness and justness of the Icause in which we embark. While we shall 'advocate democratic measures and support democratic men with zeal and firmness, we IshaIl treat our political adversaries with cour- |tesy and fairness, hoping that, though we Imay differ in politics, nothing will happen to 
 interrupt the harmony of our social relations We are opposed to the establishment of a National Brnk-a protective tarfi--a distri- button of the proceeds of the pablic lands among the different States-the assumption ;of the State debts by the General Government i've will advocate strict construction of the 5Constitution-limited powers and an econo- mical administration of the Federal Govern sment--the establishment of the !"

DEATH OF MIR. COLBY.

It becomes our melancholy duty to record the| death of respected fellow citizen, and profession Ial Brother MR. ELI CoLDY, Editor and publisher of the "Times and Adyocate.''
 Our personal acquaintance with MT. Colby was livery slight and mted as, since residence here, The has been almost constantly confined to his room |by the wasting disease, of which he died. What we did know of him, however, untitled him to our respect, confidence, and esteem, as man and an editor We were opposed to him, on the great po- 'itica questions of the day, yet we ever found him honorable, courteous, manly and independent, in .al he said and did. He may truly be said to have
 been one of the most candid and independent and at
 the same time, firm and decided politicians who ever conducted the public press. His example in these respects is well worthy of observance and imitation iby all his surviving brethren, of all parties We respected him while living and we most sincerely gdeplore his loss.
 Mir Colby died, of Pulmonary Consumption al the residence of his Brother, Mir. John Colby, in s this city, on Friday last, March, 10th.
