The proprietors of the Vine appreciate most
fully the valuable services of Mr.. BALDWIN, du-
ring his temporary connection with the paper,
and they part with him entertaining no, merely n
high estimation of his abilities and worth, but
sentiments of the most cordial good will. They
gratifed To find that his labors have been pro-
perly appreciated by the readers OF the WuIG, and
by tho public generally-and are reIoiced that
they have been instrumental in bringing MIR. b.
before the country on an arena suited to his ca
pacity, and on which his fame has been greatly
and properly enhanced. They trust that though
previous arrangements had assigned the helm tn
another distinguished and capable pilot, there may
vet be found, AT no distant day, post of honor
and usefulness for Mr. Baldwin. in which his ser
vices may not only confer benefit 10 the country,
but that honorable independence for himself
which he So justly deserves.
