In the progress of political events. particularly
those which parfake. more especially of a refor--
lnatory character. it often becomes necessary TO
entsr into new combinations, in order to sustain
and advance fundamenial principles. While prip-
ciples nevsr change, the iustrunentaIties for adj
yarcing them may. The current of events has
fealy brought us 10 the threshold Of a more gem
erai Co operation. in resisting the nggressions Of
the Slase power. Freedom and Slavery are. and
must forever be antagoniems. The interests Of
Free and Slave. labor must forever conflict. Tn
the great struggle between these antagonist for.
ces. the slave power is at present trinmphant.and
by its bold defiance of plighted faith. by its daring
assumptions and encroachments, It. has flied the
country with sad forebodings.
Hence the friends Of Freedom who liavs hiih-
Hsrto been separated IN party action, and weaken
ed in that action by the separation, are coming to-
gether, and must come together in united purpose,
to arrest the monstrons strides Of Southern Siave-
ry and TO rescue our n ational domain from it's
fell grasp. Old issues and conflicts seem to have
been disposed Of. and the way seems 10 bs prepnr-
ed for the harmonious co-operation of all who
would oppose the Impressions of the slave power.
accordingly, We find the OHIO Star and Home
Companion and Hhig. arrayed oE the same side
ofthis great question, ard each in its separate
ton, endeayoring 10 retard the aggressive spirit of
slavery, and TO uphold and advance the ensians Of
freedom. U1ifed we believe We can WELD a
greater influence, than in separate action. We
have therefore, made arrangements to blend The
two papers into one.
We believes this viii meet the spprobation ef ali
our friends. when they reflect upon the momen-
tous crisis which is upon Us, when they consider
how important it is to rally and unite every ele-
ment Of opposition to this dangerous admiDisira-
tion. when they realize that in the great and liy-
ing issues forced upon by Shareholders, through
the introduction of the Nebraska bill and other
| measures, that the Star and Wbig. as suggested
abeye are laboring shoulder to shoulder with
seniansous object.
In union there is strength, strength politically
and pecunisrily, and we deem it unwise ia avery
point of view 10 continue two papers. side by side,

have therefore concluded to follow the example
set us in several Of the Counties of the Reserve,

We shall weary not in our determined opposi.
