bhculd use it, and IN doing SO made a
statement and offered ilto tie public in

/ again enter upon the responsible and
dinporisnirust OF editor and proprietor OF
tie Ohio Statesman. In thus again launch.

pledge but devotion tie great end and
ann ofold aud long tried democratic prin-
tiples aud the party, as founded by the i'm
mortal jefferson. To rally The sound
leads and honest hearts to one great stand
ard ofrepuhlcan trutbs, will be the object
aud ardor of my soul. We are defeated
at various points, only from want ofhar-
mony and action. No one can critically
examine tie returns Of elections for the
last year, aud not be convinced Of this,
There is nothing, then, TO discourage dem>
oCrats, but q thousand Arguments to-

Two years ago tie federalists had ma
jerity in tie Legislature, and in tie very
face of law and obligations, deprived me OF
printing, which, until then, no party ever
disturbed. The Supreme Court granted
an injunction 10 stay their high'LaDded
acts; but in defiance of laws aud courts,
they ordered the printing done at the Off ce
ottheir organ, in this city. This yearthe
democrats OF the Senate being IN the ma
jority, passed resolution giving such
printing as they had constitutional con
troll over me. And now, TO wreak their
vengeance and CRAFTY their spite, they
threaten TO dissolve the Stale Govern,
ment, rather.than pay for work done, and
which they have appropriated TO their own
use. .fs7 ..s.se
intend that these things shall be ex.
posed TO The world--that the people OF
Ohio may see how their confidence has
been betrayed, aud their honor sacrificed.
