came into my hands, after an absence
fiom its editorial columns ofune year and
four months. Circumstances ever which

importan trust Of editor and proprietor OF
the Ohio Statesman. In thus again launch'

pledge but devotion 10 the great end and
aim Of old and long tried democratic prin.

mortal jefferson. To rally The sound
leads and honest hearts TO great stand
ard ofrepublican truths, will be the object
and ardor Of my soul. We are defeated
at various points, only from want OF har
mony aud action. NO one can CRITICALLY

ding my flag TO the breeze, trusting TO
the noble democracy ofuur state 70 KEEP
il there flying.
