the sacred barriers of the part and yielding up
of the fairest countries in the world, TO be black
ened degraded, and devastated by an institution
which curses the soil upon which it feeds, and
eventually ruins the Republic which it tdisgraces!
Those who have believed the North so blinded
by stupidity SO trammeed by the ties of party
as to tamely submit to be haruessed to the car OF
this mighty iniquy in the base chain, of faction,
may see in the voice of the people and the press
-in the coming together of all liberal progressive
and anti-slavery Ineu-in the swapping of party
lines and in the deepening thunder of public senti
ment. how widely they have misjudgedthe pe7ple.
1t is time for true 10 think and for think
ing men TO act. 1t is time to forget the dissen-
sions of the past in the exgencies of the present.
and the thick coming duties of the future. In
Trumbull county there is work TO be done which
needs dong notc and towards which we hope to
take the nitiatory step this week. The work is
10 consolidate antslavery men in order 10 prevent
the election of pro-slavery men to office where
there is a divided anti-savery sentiment, which.if
united, would form an overwhelming majority. In
order to facilitate this result and believing that in
so doing we are acting in accordance with the ear
papers, it is thought best to unite the Western Re-
serve Chronicle and Western Reserve Transcript
upon the common basis of opposition to the en-
croachments of the slave power in the nation. 1t
is believed that the consolidated paper will faith
fully represent the views of almost the entire num-
of the supporters of the respective papers upon
all subjects of minor importance; and upon the
before mentioned paramount one, there is but one
voice which is-let forget hse petty auimosities
Of past differences and ''closs the ranks for Free
dom and Free I'erritory!''
/ In this spirit of determined cooperation for the
right, we strike hands with Mr.. Dumars in the
new enterprise, earnestly hoping to unite with us,
all true friends of Liberty and make common cause
against party and an administration which fos-
ters slavery and purchases power at the expense
of principle.
The first number of the paper under the new
arrangement will be issued next week and we
hope all our old subscribers will find as cogent rea-
son for taking our paper in the future as in the
pasr at all events let DO one condemn us without
hearing.
The Forest City Democrat in noticing the
Union of the TrumbulI Chronicle and
Transcript.
, We learn from the Trumbull Democrat that
the Chronicle and Transcript of Warren, will soon
be united into paper. We rejoice to learn
this information. 1t is another significant sign Of
the inevitable tendencies of parties. It is not BY
the mere voton of these publishers that this union
D is being consumated. 1t is caused by the power
f ful undercurrent ofpublic sentiment. Ths mem
bers OF the two partes lately acting in separate
! organizations, and separated by paper partition
wall are now. like two rivers, flowing into the
a same channel, and blending their common priuc
! pies into one mighty volume. The events of few
y months past have precipitated the union of anti
8 slavery men of all parties.
The new paper will be the exponent of the
D whole ant-slavery and progressive sentiment o
3 Trumbull county. rather than the organ of u por
0 ton of it, which ensures an overwhelming MAORI
~ of votes in favor of correct representation il

istratiou of the municipal business of the county
d With the Slavery Extension issue rendered b,
the Administration, and the pressing necessity fo
S State Reform, old Trumbul will roll up coupI
of Thousand majority next fall without making ver
. serious effort.
So far as regards the pecuniary interests G
v Messrs Howard ond Dumars, there can be n
question as to the propriety of the proposed part
nership. They will be enabled to furnish the peo
pie of that section with splendid paper and at tn
q same time reap generous reward on their lato
It and CAPITAL. 1t may be laid down as safe rul
that two papers advocating substantially the sam
: principles should never be published in the sam
o villaae,Ssss
r They vide good support for one. and make
o lean income for two. They rarely ork togeth
d or as efficiently when separate as when united.

Each of the eleven Western Reserve countie
,s will not fail to poll heavy majority against tn

u Mr.. Wade and Union.
pi A letter has been received in town from Hor
b. + Wade. advising concentration of the frienG
N of free principles in Trumbull county, and through
H. out Ohio, into solid phalanx in view of the NJ
70 braska fraud attempted to be forced upon the nj
10 tion. He says the time has come when past di
ferences should be forgotten, that the ranks shou
s. be closed forthwith and perfect front be present
ed to the miniops of slavery extension. Such &C
vice is timely. and emnently worthy of the man.
