Governor Woods Farewell.
We find the following in the Plaih Deal /
er of the 11th inst. We join the PIain
Dealer in the hope that the Governor and
those who accompany him may realize
health and happiness, whilst absent, and
return an unbrokcn circic:
"Gov. Wood will leave on the evening
of the 18th for Valparaiso, accompanied
by Mrs. Wood, Miss Mary Wood, Geo. B.
Merwin, Mrs. Mcrwin, and their two chill
dren, Noble and Minerva. The party
will remain in New York until the 29th,
when they will take the regular steamer
to Aspnwall. From thence, they go a
cross the isthmus, by railroad about TWEEN
tv-six miles, and by mules the rest of the
way (about thirty-miles) to Panama,
where the British Mail steamer is ready to
carry them on to Val paraiso. The whole
passage will occupy not far from thirty
days.
On hehalf of the people of Ohio, and
the many warm personal friends of the
family, we earnestly hope that their So
journ at Valparaiso may be attended with
health and happiness, and that they may
be spared toreturn-an unbroken circle
to our welcoming midst
The Governor, upon this occasion, has
rightfully deemed it appropriate to take
the following formal farewell of those who
have SO long supported and admired him
in the various responsible Offices Which
he has held under our State Government,
and who sincerely share in the sorrow he
SO eloquently expresses.
1t is gratifying to know that, though
deprived of the odd Chief the gubcrna-
torial Office will fall into the hands of one
who justly deserves the cconiums below
bestowed upon him. Those enconiums
are fully endorsed by the Ohio Democra-
cy, and will give resistless impulse to the
coming campaign:
70 THE ELECTORS OF TIE STATE OF ONO:
My resignation as Chief Magistrate, is
filed in the Office of the secretary of state,
to take effect on the 18Th instant.
In dissolving the official conncxion that
exists between us, deep sense of graft
tudc prompts me, thus publicly, to express
my acknowledgements to the people of
Ohio, for their confidence and impartial
ty. A residence of thirty-fve years in
this State, the repeated evidences OF
friendship have received, and SO equiv
ocally conferred; render Ohio and her
People very near and dear to my heart.
| have been in the service of the State,
in responsible positions, for a quarter Of
a century. | now retire from it, but leave
the State Government highly prosperous
in all its various departments.
l shall be succeededin Office by gen
tleman of talents, of executive expert
ence, and well known to our country, anc
TO evils can result to the public from my
resignation.
I leave Ohio for far distant land, and
with the deepest sorrow, but duty to my
family requires the sacrifice. I shall ev-
er feel the most lively interest in the wei
fare of our State, and in the prosperity
and happiness of her People. Should
Providence crafty in my wishes to return
at some future time, [ shall meet every
citizen with true friendship, and | nov
leave him with sincere regret.

: those who shall hereafter direct YOU
councils, will be actuated by patriotism
2 and wisdom, and most ardently hope tha
High Heaven may confer on the People
t of this State, the choicest blessings.
bid you en- afectionate farewell
REUBEN WOOD.
