general views in relation to the true financial policy

New ARRANGEMENFs.-T suspension
of our paper last week was caused by new
arrangement between the proprietors, which
transfers the proprietorship OF the entire concern
to the junior partner.
Motives of expediency have dictated this ar
ranCement which has been made with the tull
concurrence of both parties Col. Dcase will
continue as senior editor; and this announce
ment will be matter of qualification to the
sterling democracy OF the East, the fearless
and unfallering champion of whose rights he
has so long been against the Vaccinations oil
demagogues. The press will of course main
tain the same editorial course, there being no
change in that department of its business,
The proprietor will do all in his power to
execute with neatness the mechanical depart
mcnt Of his paper. He soicits fair share OF
patronage, and will execute all work conhded
10 him in as neat manner as the facilities of a
good printing office will admit Charges shall
be moderate.
We are determined to close as speedily as
possibIe the old accounts of the late co-partner.

courts all indebted to us will be prepared to
settle in some form. "The laborer is worthy

Democrat, died in Washington city at his Iodg-
inps, the St Charles Hotel. Mcconnell was
a strange being He has represented Alabama
in Congress for some Yes, and although he
was living and public libel upon the moral
character oflhat State, no competitor could oea'
him before the people. He was emPhaneaiIy
a boud,om, man, aud as emphaIically Prof''
cafe one. Nature had prOdigally endowed
him; his mimi was perfect in its iaeulues' ana
was capable of great achievements were It's
energies not palled by a vicious and reckless
heart. He cared nothing for the esteem oil Inc
vinuous, was ntolerably obscene in conversa'
ton. and loved the wine-cup as devoledly as the
pious Christian loves his God. This was his
damninp sin,-an infrmity that has len his
memory linked with little else than disgrace
and to which, no doubt, is attributable his carly
death. But there were a few redeeming traits
in his character. He was honest beyond the
influence of corruption, generous TO iaillng'
and disdained an act which would iniilet INJURY
or dishOnOr upon others lie was his own foe,
tho victim Of himself, aud in his representa-
tive capacity in Congress, done little good for
Alabama.
