Cadiz Sentinel, which will complete the 18th
year Of its publication, and the first year since the
undersigned undertook its management.
The SENTINEL passed into our hands at a Pc
Rod of unexampled excitement in our country's
history. The Federal party, still wreathing and
smarting under the disappointments resulting
from their fraudulent triumph in 1910, nomina-
ted a candidate for the Presidency, in whom
there would be "no variance or shadow of turn
ing" from whiggery--a man who would not ''be-
tray" them as the "Captain" of their special
choice. TO elect Henry Clay, the Federal par
ty revived all their contemplate ~fooleries of
1910, thinking with Sam Patch, that what can be
done once can be done again. 10 accomplish
their purposes, no means, however base and dis
honorable, were left untried. Mems worst pas
sions, and not their sober judgments, were adj
dressed and appealed 10. We resolved, howev-
or, as a "(aithful Sentinel on the watch-tower of
liberty TO stand at our post and do our duty.
But soon the edict went forth from the Sanhe-
drim of whiggery in Cadiz, that the Sentinel
must be put down, and its usefulness and influ-
ence destroyed. A conspiracy was formed by a
number Of wings, who simultaneously withdrew
their subscriptions from our paper; SANDERS poi
soncd darts flew thick and fast around our head
and DULLES were hired to assassinate us on the
streets. And when the hired a~ssassins and wing
bull dogs were brought 10 the bar of justice to
answer 10 their country for violating her sacred
laws, wing jurors, under the solemnlty of an oath,
shamefully cndeayored to screen and protect the
the guilty cttlprits from that punishment which is
provided for The man who sheddeth his brothers
blood. But willie defeat, CONSERVATION, igno-
miny and shame have overtaken our assailants,
we are still, thank Providence, living and pros
pering.
The glorious and triumphant election of
JAMES X. Polk, will bring about a new era in
our national affairs. He is a Democratic Pres
jdent-he is the Peoples President. To his
administration We look for enlightened patriotism,
sound Judgment, republican equality, and a peri
cd of peace, happiness and plenty. No doubt
the acts and doings of the incoming administra-
lion will be looked upon with peculiar interest
by the Democracy; and a Democratic Journal,
will now, unquestionably, be read with avidity
by gentlemen of all parties. 1t will be our OBJ
;ect to exert our time and talents in rendering the
Sentinel one of the most attractive, popular and
interesting papers in the State of Ohio. We
will rive 10 the administration of JAMES X. Polk,
our hearty and undivided support, so long as
that administration is properly conducted. We
will keep our readers advised of every thing of
new, We will pay special attention to the in
~tcrests of the Farmers of Harrison county, and
publish seasonabIe articles on agriculture, horti-
culture and domestic economy. 1t shall always
be our desire 10 mako the Sentinel a pleasant
companion at the evening freside, and nothing
that will crimson the cheek of modesty and
beauty, will ever find a place in its columns; but,
on the contrary, it will be our endeavor TO ele-
vate the tone Of society, "to raise the genius and
to mend the heart" We fattcr ourself that the
course of the Sentinel, during the past year, has
met with the universal appreciation of its patrons
and friends. And to those friends we now re-
turn the sincere thanks of a grateful heart, for
the p~artiality they have ever evinced towards us.
Although the circulation Of the Sentinel is very
respectable; yet, as We depend almost exclu-
sively on that circulation for support, VIC hope
our friends will exert themselves in the various
townships to add TO our list Of subscribers.
The wing party of Harrison county support two
newspapers, and are vigilant and ~untiring in their
e~xertions to promote the success of their cause.
viii the Democrats be less active than their op-
poncnts? The success of a party depends in a
great measure upon The diffusion of correct in
formation, and the detection and overthrow Of
error. Let every Democrat in the county 90 10
work in earnest, and before a month the circu-
lation ofthe Sentinel will be doubled.
