PROSPECTUS.
.Three months since lhe OHIO strtesman

Three months since The Ohio Statesman
came into my hands, after an abseuce
.fiomjits editorial columns Of one year and
four months. Circumstances over which
then had no contrLl. required that ]
should use il, and in doirg so made a
statement and ,fferej il tolhe pubic in
these words:
again enter upon the responsible and
important trust ofeditor and proprietor OF
the Ohio Statesman. In thus again launch,
ing into the sea Of politics, can oaer no
pledge but devotion to the great end and
arm ofoldand long tried democratic prin
ciples and the parly, as founded by the i'm
mortal jefferson. To rally the sound
leads and honest hearts TO one great stands
ard ofrepublican truths. W i'll be the object
and ardor Of my soul. We are defeated
st various points, only from want oflar'
mony and action. No one can critically
examine the returns Of elections for the
last year, and not be convinced Of this.
There is nothing then, 10 discourage den>
ocrats, but thousand Arguments 10
strengthen them 10 renew ed lite and ener
gy. Have tie pledge of the veteran
democrais--,he old and the young---of our
glorious State, that they viii lend help
ing hand to achieve result that Will be
both honorable and full ofhopc to patriotic
freemen! feel a confidence that | shall
be sustained in This resolve, b, the united
energies ofthe democracy Of The State, so
long as ! shall have an eye single TO the
great principles Of pure rePublicansm
aud the certain trnmphs of tie democratic
party. Without any further apology, then
] fling my flag to Ihs breeze, trusting to
the noble democracy Of cur stale to keep
it there flying.
The response TO this announcement
from all parts of the country was Of thai
hearty feeling and enthusiastic charac,
ter, that made me fear that could not fli
the expections Of my democratic friends;
but Judging from the fl uDderng and
spitetulness Of our orpot cuts, l am cheer.
ed with the hope tina am yet able to do
service in the cause, and 1t is with tLe
greatest satisfaction that now announce
to the democracy Of Ohio, whatever re.
ports may have been irdustriously circu
lated through the country,) that sha |
edit, print and publish The Ohio Statesman,
during for ought know, the balance of
my life. ask only the support Of the
as piinter--I have no leader but the
people to follow, 10 political or ambitious
ends TO comsummate, but desire only |
for the triumph of the democratic party,
the success Of republican prlncii les and
the happiness, prosperity and glory OF our
noble State. | expect to be wronged
persecuied vilified and hunted down b,
my political opponents, for | have, be
lieve very few personal ones; bnt while ]
have the confidence and warm support OF
the one hundred and sirty thousand dcmo
crdts in cur State and the good win OF
these ont oft, feel all powernl against
their robberies and bid defiance 10 lhet
worst endeayors.
Two years ago the federlIists had ma
'jority in the Legislature, and in the very
face Of law and obligations d prived me Of
printing, which, until then, no party ever
disturbed. The Supreme Cour, granted
an injunction to stay their high handed
acts; but in defiance Of laws and conrts,
they ordered the printing done al the dice
of their organ, in this city. This ear tie
democrats of the Senate being IN the ma
iority, passed resolution giving such
printing as they had a constitutional con-
troll over me. And now, 10 wreak their
vengeance and CRAFTY their spite, they
threaten to dissolve the state Cavern.
nent, rather than pay for york done, and
which the, have appropriated to their own
ise. ,
! intend that these things shall be ox,
posed to the world that the people Of
Ohio may see how their confidence has
been betrayed, aud their honor sacrificed.
Intend to expose not only their injus-
|, ice to my self but show their disregard ot
the rights and interests of t!.e whole peo
ple-their hatred Of their own country,
and their alliances with the enemy,
Will our democratic friends throughout
the State aid us in this, by giving our pa.
per all the circulation they can! Will they
not step forward in this emergency, aud
us in Sighting against the robbery and
Injustice oflawless Representatives of the
people! Shall we not fnd in the stern
and stout hearts of this State, a full OF
sett to the malignant spirit Of the federa-
list, which leave no act undo one that is sup. ;
posed will injure us! | ask, that my
friends will give, as near as possible, an
Of speaking through the col f,
nmus OIL my paper to every democratic yo-
ter in the State, that full retulaiion Of
their falsehoods, and exposition OF their
conduct may every where be al hand -
II each one Of our Subscribers would pro.

for all the injuries the fede.
alists can in0ict by their i'll gotten and

10 our borders, or 10 be intrusted with

WILL BE REDEEMED! The people
