Dead, Defunct. Collapsed.

| JupGE LoCKHARI9s ORGAN DEAD.-Our
citizens generally were somewhat astonished
by the carriers OF the Republican appearing
Saturday morning without any paper, and
collecting five cents per subscriber for the
week on their own hook. And what was We
nv singular, those who sent to the office could
not get a paper, although it was known the
regular edition was worked off the evening
previous. and that it contained the newly ar
rived editors goodbye Address. The truth
came out finally, that the papers had been
seized at an early hour by one oil the par
ties interested Git contained two addresses)
and transferred to a dark hole used generally
for other purposes though not for worse than
on this occasion. The consequence was, not
Republican paper could be found early
next morning in Evansville, except two vii
famous looking copies. one of which we OBJ
tanned possession of for the benefit of our
readers, whom we did not wish TO be depriv-
ed CT the addresses merely on account of
necessary failure of issue. We give the
addresses below. The first was written, we
presume, by the real owner of the office, and
the latter by MIR. Baker, lis editor and e.r-0f
fcio proprietor.
This day week OH our return home, we ex-
tended Mr.. Baker cordial welcome to the
Evansville press, anticipating an editorial in
tercou'se of probably years with HIM, and
hoping it might always prove pleasant to
both parties though politically opposed
We regret being compelled soon to notice
his departure. He came here by the ear
nest solicitations of many friends in his own
party, who probably over-rated his abilities
as an editor, and were so generous in their
good humor on The subject of his anticipated
arrival, as to tell Us should almost every
morning thereafter feel very much like an
used up man on reading the Republican,
But Mr. L. or ourself, one or the other, dis
appointed that portion of The public In this
particular, and we yet live 10 tell the tale as
large as ever. We shall not give our opin-
ION of the causes of his sudden discounec-
ton with the Republican. He partially
speaks Of them himself. The party probably
did not treat him right, and he did not alto
gether come up to the expectations OF those
who brought him here. We wish him bet
ter success herealler-bu; thought him very
foolish in coming here relying upon the
friends of Lockhart for support. Men who
have so little confidence in. his election, as
Lockharl's friends, don't feel much like part
ing with their money in grasping at such a
irail straw as has success.
The Republican is defuncl! Its career
since our arrival at Evansville, has been
singular one, and could our pen do justice TO
its spotted and diversified life hinder its differ
ent editors" we should certainly enter upon
the task for the edifcaiion of The public and
the enlightenment Of posterity. But it can't
be done, and we won't try. All we can do
IS to give its dying words, and here they are:
To the Democrats
Several arrangements have been entered
into Tor The purpose OF carrying on the : The
Evansville Daily Republican," but owing TO
the sluggishness o some and the apathy of
others, they have not been fully carried out |
feet and those who promised their interest
and support come forward and fulfil their |
promises. this paper will cease its issue.
Adieu to my frionds-oh, adieul
die in the hope Oft the just;
Eve iabord and tOii'd hard Tor you
perish for want OF the dust.
We cruel and hard hearted set,
Ye cannot appreciate worth,
Ye know not ysur inI'rests yet,
Nor care for promotion Of truth.
All why did you not learn in time
The things that belong 20 your good;
I've spoken in prose anu in rhyme,
Ana all your dire toes We withsood.
I've called on You all to extend
One dose TO relic re my complaints
But in vain have looll'd for d friend,
No friend could | find with the nliat.
Farewell to you ALL now | say,
And may you relert what is gone;
But should lou Ccme forward and pay,
I'll wield my bold banner again.
