State Sentinel.

The present number closes the 14th vol
ume of 10 Weekly Indians State Sentinel.
OF the past, of the present or of the future
of the SsEtiael, paper familiar to the public,
and with which we have been connected but
little more than TWO months, it scarcely be-
comes us TO speak. Our patrons can judge
of it for themselves. and oensure or condemn
as their reason may dictate. The flct is not
concealed from Us, that we, in common with
all public journalists, are the subjects Of scru-
tiny and criticism. If we have made our
selves the fair objects Of ceusure, some palia-
ton for our omissions or commissions may
oe found in the innumerable perplexities and
annoyances always attendant upon the COM
mencement of publishing career.
The adjustment of the business affairs of a
printing establishment as extensive as the
'Sentins, is accompanied by degree of
labor which but few are able in any way to
appreciate. In the midst, however, of our num-
berless endorsements, the compliments ex-
tended us from private individuals, and from
our contemporaries of every party, have been a
hundred times greater than any vanity had per-
mitted US to expect. BY such encouragement
we are stimulated to renewed action, and to
the determination to execute, in future, the
manifold functions devolving upon us with
promptness and regularity. In return for the
very best service we are able to render our
party, we simply ask liberal aud extended
patronage.
The Weekly Sentinel, printed on large
sheet of fine paper, with new and beautiful
type, contains about thirty-two columns OF
reading matter 1t has been made and will
be kept one of the best family newsla-
pers of the West With suficieney of or
thcdox political sentiment, It's columns will
TEEN also with the hest literature and the
latest news-amiI which will always be
found the fullest telegraphic and market re-
ports. So soon as we can be justified in the
undertaking, the WseHy Sentinel will be en-
larged to the size of our most extensive city
journals Our OUTLAWS, however, even al
the present, are large. That we may be able,
therefore, TO act in our enterprise with safety,
and also to command a respectable influence
by the propagation of the eternal principles
we advocate, We must have patrons aad read
ers
Let our friends, then, who desire the sue
cess of the Sentinel, under its present aus
pices, embrace the present moment-the
commencement Of new volume, to double
or quadruple the list of our subscribers
Let every individual who now receives the
Sentinel, take it upon himself to procure us
two or three additional names, and, in addi-
ton to this, let all who can, procure us clubs
of subscribers, at the club rates published be-
low, ard they will thus show their apprecia
ton of our efforts in their behalf in a tangible
Democratic Christian manner This we claim
IS due from the Democracy to us it is du,

We will look for, and expect with certain
", a response to this call.
