As Elections for Members of Congress- &c,

several States of the Union, the Board of
Managers have deemed it their duty 10 request
the Judges or Commissioners who may be ap-
pointed TO take the ballots of the voters, to
put up boxes at the different localities where
elections will be held, for the purpose of re-.
ceiving such contributions as the admirers of
the lIlustrlous Father OF his Country may
think proper to deposit in aid of the great
Monument, now in course of erection in this
city to his memory.
They feel assured that when this noble and
patriotic purpose is presented To the people,
they will not hesitate to give their mite for
such an object; and il now becomes more me-
cessary, as the funds of the society are rap.

yALEDICTORY.

With the last number of the Chronicle, my
connection with the establishment terminated.
For the past two years the state of my health
has been such, that longer continuance in the
business would seem to involve the question
of moral suicide.
During the past FIVE years have laborcd
hard to place the establishment upon an in
dependent footing, and to make the Belmont
Chronicle truly Independent Wing Newspaper.
Firmly believing that the policy of the Wing
party is that alone which can make this
country truly independent, large portion OF
the paper has been devoted to the building
IN of those measures, and sustaining their
friends. That the people have appreciated
those labors | find in the fact that the sub
scrption to tho Chronicle is nearly double
what it was at any former period. Would
health permit should gladly continue pub
licly to advocate that truly American policy
but such is not the case.
leave my numerous patrons and friends
with regret, and shall ever feel thankful for
the support which has been given me, through
all the trying scenes through which the Whig
party has passed. firmly believe that policy
will yet he adopted by the nation--though
additional trials and distress may come upon
the people, before they are fully convinced
Of its necessity Let the Wings patiently
wait, and stand firm.
Mr.. b. r. CowEN, who will continue the
publication, is young man of excellent edu-
cation, forcible writer, and a true Wing.
His time and talents will be given exclusive
ly to the paper, and have every confidence
that he will make the Chronicle all that its
warmest friends could wish. ask for him,
not only the continuance of its present
patrons, but largely increased list of sub
scrbers. am very sure that many who now
take eastern papers would receive more
benefit by taking their county paper, and
learning the progress of important improve
ments in our own county, the success OF
agriculture and manufactures within our own
borders,-an that would cheer the editor and
cause him to increase his endeavors to make
the paper yet more and more interesting. A
large list of prompt paying subscribers is the
surest way to make good newspaper.
To those who have SO long ard so faithful
ly stood by me in my endeavors to advocate
the true interests OF the country, tender the
best wshe. of grateful heart.

Q most outrageous piece of nonsense for us
to send our money abroad for the purchase
Of r.ilway bars, to be laid down Immediately
over our iron mines and coal fields. With
the exercise of common sagacity and common
prudence, this country has it in It's power now
TO lid up an interest in its iron manulac-
turc that will far outstrlp in amount and val
,e any other single business in the country

years, and we can defy the world in comre
tition,"

SALllTATORY.

1t will he seen by the foregoing that Mr..
Howard has retired from the editorial depart
ment of the Chronicale leaving us sole editor
This, we have no doubt will be generally re-
GREETED, aud that the best wishes of his numer-
ous friends will attend him in whatever voca-
ton he may engage.
Long usage has made it law, almost that
the incoming editor, or the remaining one
should address Salutatory to his patrons
"defining his position" on the various prin'
ciples and policies (which are agitating the
public mind.
The post we have assumed is, we are well
aware, iraught with troubles and RESPONSE
blilies, and il is with misgivings that we
enter upon the discharge Of its duties, still
we will endeavor to dscharge them with an
eye single to the good of our country and to
the advancement Of her interests that she may
assume her proper station among the nations
of the earth, namely first In intelligence, first
in wealth, and foremost in every form OF in
tollectual advancement.

OUR NEW VOLUME.

This number of the Chronicle commences
new volume. The paper, we are happy
to announce, is in prosperous condition, g.
is, we Aatter ourself, enjoying the confidence
and support of the Wings generally. Yet
while we have reason to feel thankful to our
patrons for their support, we know there are
many who are not subscribers to the paper
who should be, and whose interest it is to
support the local press. To such we present
our claims and suggest that the Chronicle is
worthy Of their support.

of the Wing party so long as they remain as
they are now, conducive to that end. This
we do, not because they are the principles &
policy of party, but because we are con-
vinced from observation that they are the best
adapted to the wants of our people, and be-
cause, by so doing, we will, If successful
secure the greatest good to the greatest
number.
Our ideas of the allegiance due to party
are exceedingly liberal In declaring our
adherence to party we reserve to ourself the
privilege Of differing from those with whom
we generally agree, and we will never uphold
any individual in what we consider a wrong
action merely because he is party leader g.
does it under the guise Of party sanction. We
also disclaim the obligation of justifying in
the masses whatever they may see fit to do.
Demagogues may cry out in the exuberance
Of their fulsome adulation, "The people
can do no wrong" but while we acquiesce
in the expressed will of majority we shall
always reserve the right of approving or dis
approving their acts through theirrepresenta-
! tives.
There are often dark hours in the history Of
our country,--hours when the stoutest heart
will quail at the immnence of the danger
which threatens our Neutrality-suspicious. when
it would seem that the whole fabric which
our ancestors devoted "ther lives, their for
tunes, and their sacred honor" to build and
strengthen was about to crumble to ruins. In
these times we consider it the duty of public
journalists to endeavor to inspire the hearts
Of all with that faith in the stability of our
national institutions, and their power to pre-
serve our nationality, which hopes against
hope, and which the enjoyment of freedom
should ever be powerful to inspire.
We shall always strive to make th'
Chronicle paper that will be acceptable t
all, and one which we can offer to the publ
feeling that they will receive full value 70
the subscription price. The electric TELEGRAPH
has brought us so much nearer to the AT
lantic shore that foreign news reaches u
in time for publication in our paper before
could possibly reach us through the column
of eastern journals; and by the same mean
:. we receive the reports of rises and falls i
! the Markets sin advance of the Mails" an
!, are, in this particular, placed on an almos
equal footing with our eastern cotemporarie
We hope that our labors may not be unat
ceptable to our subscribers, and that the
:, may kindly approve our "platform'' as hel
laid down.

Voters Of Belmont
County g'iUe one
dag To yowr Conn.,
try!

The time is Just at hand when you will
again be permitted to exercise that glorious
prerogative o: freemen, the right of suffrage.
This is not less great privilege than SOL
emn duty. But while we are expected to go
to the polls and deposit our ballots for our
| favorite candidates we should divest our
minds of all selfish and personal feelings and
considerations. Let your aim be the promo
ton of the welfare of our county, our State
and our nountry; the advancement of their
true interests your only consideration.
If we, the voters, the independent voters of
this State, the great political sovereigns in
whose hands repose the safety and perpetuity
Of our form of government, if we come to the
polls actuated by selfish and sinister motives
can we complain if our public servants do the
same in casting their votes! We cannot but
tremble for the public veal il our voters will
place self before the enactment of good and
wholesome laws and their proper administra-
;ion. The public morals, the peace aud
the enlightenment of community would be
placed in jeopardy We should everywhere
aud always be prepared to cast our votes in
that behalf which will the more eflectually
promote a real and substantial advance ment
in public virtue, knowledge and all the urts
of peace.
In the State at large there is the chief ex-
ecutive officer to be chosen-a Lieutenant
Governor, er oDiciO President OF the Senate
Judge of the Supreme court, and other
state officers. In our county we are called
upon to elect two Representatives, and in
the district Senator. There are numerous
other county Offices to be filled. Upon prop.
er selections for these Offices much depends
Tor veal or woe. The enactment of proper
laws aud their effective enforcement-the
faithful administration of justice, and the
proper execution OF some of the most mpor.
tant provisions in our new school law--all
this and much more depends upon the result

is but an inconsiderable sum, and yet half
dime contributed by every inhabtant of our
country, would rear the grand structure, now
in progress, to its destined completion. 1t
will be pitiful wondrous pitiful, if out of twen-
ty-fve millions of soul who inhabit this great
country, rendered independent, prosperous
and happy mainly by his exertions and devo-
ton to its cause, the sum necessary to erect
Monument worthy of such man could not
be completed for the want Of the small pecu-
mary aid which every American should feel
it his pride, as well as his duty to afford.
At the last Presidential election, the plan
of obtaining contributions at the Polls, (thus
testing the patriotism and lberality of the
voters and others) was attempted, though the
previous arrangements were not such as to
insure very full collection, the result was as
satisfactory as could, under the circumstances
have been expected.
1t is therefore desirable that this system
should be continued in the different States a
all future elections of local or general ma
ture; and the Board of Managers indulge the
hope that on this occasion at the elections t.
be held in the respective States Of Maine
Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland
South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Ohio
Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Louisiana ant
Florida, contributions will be made in aid o
the Monument, worthy of the Couatrymen o
their illustrious benefactor.

"Thero came change, the cloud rolled or,
A light fell on his brain;
Aud like the passing OF a dream

Nnu ilht passing VI

and now Mr.. Barney ut once saw that il was
his duty to sacrifice himself on the altar of
party--vioate the confidence of his friends,
and stake the course" in opposition to his
own feelings, in opposition to Mr.. Andrews,
whose election he SO much desired, and in
opposition to the very cause of his heart-an
interrupted system of Schools.
The substance Of the mighty influence
which turned "black white" with him, can
be given in few words. The "wire pulers"
OF the party fairly took him by storm--they
approached him with a new tact They asked
him if twas not duty he owed the State
Democratic partyD and the cause of educa-
tion' They told him that he alone could
avert the destruction of our school system!
The effect was electric. Mr.. Barney saw
with @ondrous ken, that such was the nature
OF the Democratic party (mark the comp-
menD that whoever was put in nomination,
fl or UnGt, he would receive the vote OF the
party aud would probably be elected. With
pure patriotism to save his party "irom going
il blind" for man who would be an injury
to the school system he consented (with the
advice of Democratic iriendsD to "give him
sell away" for ii good of the cause! What
magnanlmity! Mr.. Barney was nominated.
Ii now he resigned a Mr. Gibson, who by some
hOcus pOcas had managed to get a number of
votes nearest Mr.. Barney, would be the can
didate. This would be a calamity! He there.
fore reluctantly consented to run. This is
the claim which Mr.. Barney brought to Cleve-
land, vainly expecting that it would "in every
wound drop healing"
What nonsense! why did not Mr. Barney
IL he so much desired the election Of Andrews
resign, and throw his influence in favor of his
election. What sane man doubts but that
such course would have given a large DEM
ocratc vote in favor OF Mr. Andrews, and
thus mado his election a "fxed fact" The
"wire-pullers" knew that Mr.. Barney was
the only available man who had any chance
against Andrews, aud hence the effort to Sc
cure his name and influence. Those irresist.
able sermons on "duty" which stormed his
party heart and pulled down the flag of prom.
ise and firm resolution, were doubtless preach
ed with the skill of "practical orators" 1t
remains to be seen with what good grace the
"defamers of Mr.. Andrews" aud those who
have so boldly, yet ign'rantly asserted that
Mr., Barney, had no "lot or part" in the re-
commentator of Mr.. Andrews, will swallow
this pill which Mr.. Barney has so nicely su-
