TO TEIE READERS OF THE STATE

With the close Of the present volume oil
the semi-weekly and the weekly State SEN
tinel, will close the service of Its present
Editors, who were its founders. They will
be succeeded by the Hon. WILLIAM }.
BRowN, (who is well known to the people of
the State, and especially to those of this Con-
gressional district,) and by his son, AUSTIN
II. BRowN, who for some years has held a
place in the p. o. Department at Washing
ton. The editorial department will be under
the direction of Mr.. Brown, senior, and a
reference to their prospectus will show, that
he promises to conduct the paper in the spirit
in which we have always tried TO conduct il
ourselves. We certainly hope this may be
done, to the advantage of themselves, as well
as to that Of the Democratic Party. Mr..
Browns ability to do this, none will doubt,
so far as the party is concerned.
At the conclusion of our own Editorial
labors, we shall endeavor 10 address few
parting words to our readers, many of whom
have continued with us from the beginning,
and with whom we cannot part without
strong feelings Of regret.
