THE ExAM1NER.-Ye Yesterdays Examiner
contains the announcement that Mr.. ROBERT
w. HUGHES has become the purchaser of
that paper, Mr. JOHN NJ DANIEL having sold
his property therein to Mr.. H., upon condition
that he may, at some future time, repurchase
t. Mr.. BENNETT NJ. DEWITT also withdraws
from the Examiner, This card is promised for
the next paper,) and Mr.. HUGHES is left in sole
possession and control The transfer of his
property by Mr.. DANIEL is preparatory to his
departure for his post as Charge to Sardinia
In leaving the Examiner with this prospect
of return, he takes occasion to address few
words to his readers and the public, which
are to be commended for the spirit that cha
racterizes them. Mr., ID. is a gentleman of
both talent and requirements, that have won
for him very great distinction in the editorial
profession. The freedom of his pen has, of
course, not left him without antagonists but
we are sure both friend and foe will find that
to admire in the following paragraph from his
valedictory in yesterdays Examiner !:
Nothing remains but to bid the public addressed

the larger portion of it, he has met with Indulgence
and encouragement beyond his deserts from some,

the hope that he will be able day justly the
favor of the first, and furnish the most efectua
swer to the last, by editorial career marked with
fewer mistakes and more merits than that which he
now concludes. Egotism, in self-defence, is
seldom graceful and can always be msinterpreted by
those who desire to do so but it is hoped that he

that while he is conscious of having made false steps
in the conduct of this newspaper-some from mistake
of Judgment others from momentary passionate has
been actuated in its general conduct and course by
very sincere desire to do what was manly right and
useful becoming for gentleman and good citizen.
The consciousness of this fact is the foundation of the
hope expressed-that with calmer years and with the
experience of the past he will his return to this
journal, be able to direct its course in manner more
satisfactory to himself and calculated to give less
cause, at least, for criticism from others.
We sincerely wish Mr.. DANIEL success in
the discharge of his official duties, and good
health and an agreeable time of it during his
sojourn abroad.
Mr.. HUGHES, who now takes the Examiner
in hand, is gentleman ofvery fine abilities,
and is, what is more important to his position,
practised writer He will, we are sure, ac-
quit himself to the entire satisfaction of the
readers of the Examiner We do not think it
could be left in better hands than his.
