THE RALEIGH STAR.

Thomas J. Lemay, Esq. has disposed Of the Star
establishment to w. G. Doub, Esq, by whom the
paper will in future be conducted. Mr.. Lemay, on
retiring from the post which he has occupied twen-
ty-six years, says among other things:
"lf, in the heat Of party contests, he has occa-
sonaly been betrayed into the spirit and language
Of bitterness towards his opponents i, has been but
the ebultion Of momenary excitement not of malice,
and has left no trace Of unkindness behind. 10.
wards his brethren of the press, with whom he has
lived terms of friendship, and from whom he has
received many marks of courtesy and kindness, he
chershes sentiments Of the warmes regard and one
of the most painful circumstances Of his retirement, is
TO take leave of them. To his kind and indugent
readers who have supported his press through every
trial. he returns his most grateful acknowledgements
and wishing them long lives Of happiness and use.
fulness, now bids them, and all, respectful
adieu."
Mr. Lemay has performed important service for
his party and State, and retires with the good
wishes and respect Of ALL We have differed wide
ly with him on almost all public questions; but
we have always REGARDED him as an honest man,
actuated by sincere desire to advance the interests
of the country. We know of no man more de-
voted than he is to the State of North Carolina
to the means which, in his Judgment, are best cal
culated to promote her welfare and prosperity.
Mr. Doub, the new Editor, is young gentleman
Of respectable attainhents. We hope that, pccu.
niarily, he may do well. His mission, he appears to
believe, is to demosh the 8 North Carolina Stan
darI." This he is to do, as q matter of course
every week. Very well. We have the consola-
ton at least Of knowing when We are to be overset
and by whom. He comes at us in no "question.
able shape" He makes his bow to the public
and then pitches right into the " Standard" Like
a ground and lofty tumbler, or like harlequin, o,
like singer of comic songs, he springs into the
ring glances round at the audience and goes at once
to his task. Here he takes the STANDARD full
in front with pcbbe-now he amuses the "Stan
dard with pinch of Wing snuff, the remains o
Wing principles; and then again he tickles the
&" Standards" ear with straw. This, it must be
confessed, is delightful. We expect to he able tc
bear it, especially if the Editor will always b(
polite enough when the Stan lard" is down, t.
invite the g Standard to get up again.
