nROSPECTUS OF THE OHIO
d STATESMAN.-T undersign-
ed respectfully announce to the DEMoc-
RAcY OF Ono, that they have purchased
of Coz. SAMUEL MEDARY, all his inter-
est in the Ohio Statesman newspaper,
from and after the lst of July, 1845.
The paper will, as heretofore, advocate,
unllinchingly, democratic principles and
measures, and give the strongest sup
port to the regularly y nominated candl-
dates Of the Democratic Party, that it
will be in the power OF the undersigned
to afford. TO firmly support the Ma
tional Adm inistration-to maintain the
right of this country to the territory of
Oregon-to uphold the great doctrine
of the sovereignty Of the people, as con-
tended for by the patriot DoRR--to on
tend for the adjustment Of the tariff in
such manneras shall do justice to the
great Agricultural interest OF the West
to labor for the settlement Of the Ma
tional Finance question in way that
shall prevent the public moneys from
becoming the means of individual ag-
grandisement--and to strenuousl y sup
port any measure calculated to make
the laws of Ohio embodiments of the
principles of Liberty and Equality, and
to give to the State sound currency;
these are the objects which the un-
dersigned propose to themselves in the
new and arduous position which they
have assumed. Their success must de-
pend upon the amount and the charac-
ter of the support which they shall re-
ceive at the hands Of the Democracy of
the great Empire State of the West,
whose voice in the National Councils
is so important, and whose example, IN
the management of their internal affairs,
is destined to exert vast influence
upon all quarters Of the Union, and par
ticularly to give character TO the leg
islation of the new communities which
are constantly arising, and demanding
to be admitted to the rights and privil-
eyes enjoyed by the members of the
confederacy.
The undersigned have invested a
large amount Of capital in their present
undertaking. They have brought to its
support, whatever of talent and enter
prise they possess. Their interest is
identical with that of the West; and
there is no incentive to exertIon--no
motive which can incite men to faith
ful discharge Of important duties
which is not moving them to labor fol
the good Of that portion ofthe confede-
racy into whose hands the physical
and moral powers Of the nation are rap
idly passing. Under these circumstan-
ces, they feel that they are privileged
to ask for that support and to look for
that confidence from the Democracy Of
Ohio, without which all their labors

The wind is a bachelor,
Merry and free;
lie roves at his pleasure
Ger land and DER sea;
He ruff1es the lake,
And he kisses the flower,
And he sleeps when he lists
In a jes'mine bower.
He gives to the cheek
OF the maiden its bloom,
He tastes her warm kisses,
Enjoys their perfume,
But, truant-like, often
The sweets that he sips
Are lavished next moment
On lovelier lips.

six years, from March, 1888, to July. 1874,

in some degree, whit advantage of the Zee
publican. The last number of that paper was
issued on the ,4th July, ls44. Since that
time, they have had no opportunity to defend
their rights or interests, except through the
Tarboro' Press, and am mortified to say that
its circulation was so limited, that it conld

charge Of The Republican, but for the bench
of the Republican creed, which know full

9Th district, hopo and trust that their journal
may now be placed upon permanent footing.
That the party much need an exponent C their
principles in that section Of the State, DO not
suppose any one will question. wonld,
therefore, as true friend to Democratic prln-
ciples, exhort our friends inihst section of the
State, to give their Press generous support.
They are able, and they have the number
