Ohio Statesman.
PROSPECTUS.

Three months since the Ohio Statesman
came into my hands, after an absence
from its editorial columns of one year and
four months. Circumstances over which
/ then had no control, required that
should use 1t, and in doing so made a
statement and offered il 10 the public in
t,ese wor ds:
again enter upon the responsible and
imporsD trust OF editor and proprietor Of
the Ohio Statesman. In thus again launch.
ing into the sea Of politics, can offer no
pledge but devotion TO the great end and
aim Of old and long tried democratic prin.
ciples aud the party, as founded by the i'm
mortal Jefferson. To rally the sound
heads and honest hearts TO one great stand-
ard Of republican truths, will be the object
and ardor of my soul. We are defeated
at various points, only from want ofhar
mony and action. No one can critically
examine the returns of elections for the
last year, and not be convinced of this.
There is othing, then, to discourage dem>
ocrats, but thousand arguments to
strengthen them TO renewed life and a"-
gy. Have the pled~" ,oo,an

both honorable and fall ofhope TO patriotic
freemen? ] feel a confidence that sl,a
be sustained in this resolve, by the united
energies ofthe democracy OF the State, 50
long as ] shall have an eye single to the
great principles Of pure repub blicanism
and the certain triumphs of the democratic
party. Without any further apology, then
! ding my flag TO the breeze, trusting to
the noble democracy Of our slate to keep
il there flying.
The response to this announcement
from all parts of the country was Of that
hearty, feeling and enthusiastic Characs
ter, that made me fear thatl could not Gil
the expections o my democratic friends
but Judging from the laundering and
spitefuness of our opponents, am cheer
ed, with the hope that am yet able to do
service in the cause, and 1t is with the
greatest satisfaction thatl now-announce

ports may have been industriously circu.

ends to comsummate, but desire only
for the triumph Of the democratic party,
the success of republican principles and
the happiness, prosperity and glory of our
noble State. l expect to be wronged,
persecuted villfed and hunted down by
my political opponents, for have, be
lieve very few personal ones; but while l
have the confidence and warm support of

Gratis in our State and the good will of
those ont oft, feel all powerful against
THEIR robberiesand bid defiance TO their
worst endeavors.
Two years ago the federalsts had a ma
jorty in the Legislature, and in the very
face of law and obligations deprived me of

The Supreme Court granted
an Injunction to stay their high-h handed
acts; but in defiance of laws and courts,
hey ordered the printing done at the office
Of their organ, in this city. This year the =
democrats of the Senate being IN the ma
ority, passed resolution giving such -
printing as they had constitutional cons - -
rol over me. And now, TO wreak their V
'eDgeance and CRAFTY their spite, they r
hreaten TO dissolve the State Govern ;,
nent, rather than pay for work done, and -
which the, have appropriated to their own :,
use. r
intend that these things shall be ex. :. -
posed to the world-that the people of
Ohio may see how their confidence has
been betrayed, and their honor sacrificed. y
Iintend to expose not only their injus- q
ice to myself, but show the ir Isregar rd of n
Ihe rights and interests of tie whole peo.
ple--their hatred of their own country,
aud their alliances with the enemy.
Will our democratic friends throughout
