Il STATESMAN.--The undersi ign.
ed respectfully announce to the DEmoc
RAoY OF Ono, that they have purchased
Of Col. 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,
unflinchingly demo cratic principles and
measures. and give the strongest sup
port to the regularly 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 Administration-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 c on
tend for the adjustment of the tariff in
such manner as shall do justice to the
great Agricultural interest OF the West
Ito 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 strenuously sup
port any measure calculated to make
the laws of Ohio embodiments of the
principles Of Liberty and Equality, and
to give tc the State sound currency;
these are the objects which the un-
ersigned 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 10 exert vast influence
upon all quarters of the Union, and par
ticularly ogive character TO the leg
islaton of the new communities which
are constantly arising, and demanding
to be admitted to the rights and privil-
eges enjoyed by the members Of the
cOnlederacy 500 H, gl
The undersigned have invested
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 exertlon--no
motive which can incite men to faith

which is not moving them to labor 70,

racy into whose hands the physical
and moral powersof, the nation are rap

ces, they feel that they are privileged
to ask for that support and to look for
that confidence from the Democracy of

They both drew their knives, and placed
themselves In posture of defence But ac-
cusomed 10 fence with each other, anI
knowing so well the manHuvres of each,
they fought with fury for one entire hour
their brains became maddened, their looks
wild and haggard. and from time to tine
they were obliged to rest overcome by fa-
tIgue, aud overpowered by furious wounds.
During one those pauses. they heard
the drums announcing the citizens return
into the town. Ii was the hour at which
many time they had returned home to-
gether, afectionately discoursing whether
gay OF sad. still they poured Their sweet
thoughts into each others ear. Ii was the
hour when covered with dust, and fondly
leaning on each other they wore woDs 10

The ra~s. anu anticipating happy future.
Alltheir youth, and elf their affection
spread itself before Their eyes at this mo-
ment.
The sun was sstting-his last rays were
gllstening through the waving branches OF
The surrounding trees, and shed a rich coat
Of gold on the earth, which was covered
with dry leaves; the dews Of the evening
were genIly descending. and the feaIhered
chorlStefs announced me approach oil night.
Robert turned his head. and saw in the
distance the clock of his native town burst
ing through the mist OF even. His soul
was narrowed he advanced o step to wards
his brother, holding out his hand. But
mortal weakness seized him. he leant a.
gainst tree. his head dropped, and he fell
to the earth.
Henry contemplated with horror the last
effort of his brother to recover life; he wish
ed to walk towards him, bu, found himself
unable; weakened by loss of blood. upright
and immoveable. he staggered as an intoxi.
Gated man would.
These twin brothers had q mother, who
loved them tenderly. Al the bottom of the
valley q vague and indisfinct form appear.

assembled the hill. and scarcely had it ap.
preached, when the sons Recognised their
mother.
AT the moment when this spectre became
visible and was recognised, Henry, who
was standing by a supreme effort quilted
the spot to which he had been previously
nailsd. and threw himself into the arms OF
Robert. who was gasping on the ground
Thus these unhappy brothers. covered with
blood. and bathed with tears. expired in
