VALRDlCFORE,


 and frisnds without Q favesOeu s0Ord.- Our connection with the ENQUIRER con- menCed nearly eight years ago, and to many of its readers we have made our weekly visits and held weekly converse. unintelruptedly, during the whole Ot that period. So constant an intercourse for long time conld hardly exist, without awakening, in some degree at least, mutual interest and attachment between the editor and his subscribers and we have had frequent and unmiSLakable ev- idences that our own earnest wishes for the well-being of those who have thus bore us company. have been cordially re- CiprOcated by them. During these eight years. we have formed many pleasant acquaintances, whom we shall be glad to meet hereafter, and who will long be re- membered; we have also found some friends whose cheering smiles and warm hearts will never be forgotten. Though the business relations which we have mutually sustained, now no longer exist, the influence of that connexion still lives. May benignant Providence so overrule that influence (be it little or much, that no evil may follow in its train. @
 Our sheet, though small compared with the mammoth weeklies" of the great cities, has ever found its full quota of steadfast supporters. It is ts us a source of qualification that we are ableto say, we leave it with a larger list of pays ing subscribers than when we commen> ced our labors. Not only have the mass of its original patrons stood by it, but il has found many ,sesO friends both al home and abroad. It circulatss mol only in every town in the county, but il almost every State in the Union, among the wi dely.scattersd emigrants from thi 1 region and we have abundant reason t. know that it's weekly advent is hailed a: "good news from g far country" at hun dreds of tiresides scattered along the hill and in the valleys of the North, amids the orange groves of tEe South. over th Western prairies; along the great lake and on the shores of the Pacific. Th' Enquirer will continue to be A wslcom visiter alike to those distant homes am to the. dwellers beneath the old paterna roofs, though we shall speak through it' columns no more.
 ..a,rsan mss z. 3 AAse -srrsugtM has ad honished us that we might ultimately b compelled to abandon our favorite pu, suit! We have often been unable to al I tend personally to the duties of the office and consequently they have not alway been conducted as we might desire. | yielding to what seems to us to be tn mandate of duty, we nevertheless par with the ENQUIRER with many regrets as we would bid a final adieu to a lon, cherished friend. It has been the sun of our ambition - the theatre of ou hopes. We shall stiU regard it with feeling akin to affectien-we shall ssil rejoice in its success. We leavs it i, able hands. not doubting it is destined |, s life in the future coeval with that O our beloved native couuty-to grow witl it's growth-and to die only with its de- struction. F
 Our successor, Mr. HYATT. has been for some years one of the editors and publishers of the Norwalk Gazette. He IS young man of energy. talents and experience, a true Whig. and in all res poets worthy of the patronage and es> teem of the public. .s.s
