More Signs.

But a week or two since we chroniclcd the union
sof the Wing and Democratic papers at Columbus, In
diana, and the agreement of the editors to sail under
Ia flag of truce-or neutrality. We have now to no.
tice the retirement of the Wing editor, and instead Of
i"taking the responsibility" Of charging the Wing
party with prescription of any and every thing demo
[cratic, we leave the editor to prone our formef charg-
{es in his own way, by giving bis article in full. 1t
/ will be seen that they never hesitate to sacrifice their
Town friends, provided it gives them a stepping stone
to power and place. We hope Mr.. Child will, next
tune. "look before he leaps"
& fTWith this number we close our editorial ca.
sreer, in this place, perhaps forever. We have dis
posed Of our interest in the establishment to Mr.. Kri
idlebaugh, who is now sole proprietor.
4 Although our career in the editorial corps has beer
Short, yet il has been attended with no little toll anC
Evexation, which serves, no doubt, to lessen our re
Fgrets on ending it so soon. When we commenced
Jour career in Columbus, it was under circumstance
fof apparently the most favorable kind-with fail

Icess Of both the cause which we advocated, and the
( enterprise in which we had embarked. But before
! we had proceeded far, a cloud arose in the politica
<horizon, from which issued forth an adverse wind
+ which swept from us all our high hopes and anticipa
stions, of the success of our principles, and threw
1 damper over our business. We continued on, how

: Der, we began to discover that there was s'rottennes
tI Denmark and that inducements had been held on
10 US Which Were not likely 10 be realized. We con
tinued on in the even tenor of our way, until the enc
I of the first volume of the Columbus Gazette, the pa
per we were then publishing, when, from pecuniar,
/ considerations, we were compelled to abandon it
+ publication and cease our efforts in the Wing cause
s As the best means of neutralizing the party strength
: in the county, and after we had thoroughly canvasset
the chances for the success of a Wing sheet, and up
ION consultation, we concluded to join with our neigh
sbor, who was then publishing a Democratic paper
1.-THE success Of which we could not doubt, as there APP
Z peared to be no great necessity for political discus
ksions, and party excitement. The experiment ha!
Hsucceeded tolerably well, but not, however, as well a

Satisfaction Of our efforts, and pho seemed DESTROYS o.

E1ould continue uith us BUT WE HAD ovERRATEl
ETHER PATRIOTISM, for be 1t said 10 their diScredit tia
Cat least one third Of them, by absence and otherwise
ShaVe refused to continue their patronage. On tn
Eother hand most of the patrons OF the Hoosier &
LEDGER, are satisfied with the arrangement, and hay
Econtinued their support.
We do not leave this paper because we are compel
lied to for want of support, for we have now a prett
kextensive subscription list, much larger than We hau
Ito tie Gazette, but because zoe are indignant at I'll

Thought zoe had reason to expect better things.
We now take our leave, with an affectionate fare
awell to each and every body. We feel the tripod un
