position. We extend to him cur ~ in a
cordial grip OF fellowship, and hope tina: he
may find that haven Of peace, where the
wicked cease from troubling and the weary
are at rest, but assure him, he'll have t
mend his politics, if not his manners, befJ re
he can ego where the good niggars go -
Whatever difference Of opinion may have ex-
listed upon politics or theology, we trust there
Las been no malignity Of heart. IL he is moi
quite so good locking as we are, tharS his mis-
fortune-it is not TO be expected that a man,
entertaining the views lie does, could lie
good locking lie need not let that little
aforesaid Iufle his 0mi0bihty nor make him
IenviouS! The fact is, our friend has been
SHINING against light and knowledge so long,
that i; has affected his countenance and oaus-
ed the hair 10 grow end out, oil over his face,
| and while he looks much like q Coon, he talks
in the Register, like o Free Soil AbolitioniSt
but, JOHNSON, with oil thy faults, and they
are named legion, we like thee we'll, and re-
lgret that no more we shall sit side by side al
the social board or enjoy game Of = when
you have all the jacks up your %slecue! May
Thy pathway through life be Strewed with
flowers.
Farewell: There's but one pnng in death,
Only ODe,-lcNying thee !"
We part with the Proprietors OF the Register
with the best OF fee lings and so far as we know
upon the kindliest terms. We hope they may
have a good time making mOney-thot's all
May no ray OF hope ever il!umine their po-
lltical horizon but may eternal darkness and
d.ftat forever Shroud from mortal gaze The
principles advocated through the paper they
publish.
Ina few weeks We shall leave Eaton, to
fill an engagement at Lebanon, Ohio, in con-
Quoting the democratic Citizen" but we
shall have something to 90 with the politics
of Preble county, until after the nert election,
and shall put in the time intervening between
this time and that period, partly in Eaton,
partly in Lebanon. After the fulfllment OF
that engagement, we cannot say what or
where will be our future, for
''Therc lisa Divinity shapes all our ends,
Rough-hew them as we will"
With the new Editor, we leave that "oli
Machine" which used 10 grind out so many
soul stirring rhymes for those who committed
-matrimony! We hope its powers may new
er be prosti'uted to grinding sausage meat, nor
its cunning 10 catching mice Farewell cold
Machine" may thy crank never rust, nor
'hy g~udgeon need greasing and there be no
grease wherewith 10 DO the necessary afore-
said D.,
Those who have paid for the "Democrat'
will receive il until the time for which they
have paid expires, without additional expense,
OF course. The subscription accounts have
been transferred 10 our successor, and as there
is q considerable amount due on them, we
hope those indebted will make it CONVEX lent
to settle up SOFA! Our advertising accounts
We Will settle curseN, and as we shall have
nothing else to do in about four weeks, we
want every body to be ready 10 square of upon
presentation Of account.
We cannot write as we feel-perhaps at no
distant day. We may DO so, for during the next
six months, we expect to have interest ilen-
tical with some in this section of country, and
intend 10 attend TO matters as they turn up -
Our hands are tied and our expression OF
thoughts limited under the circumstances
The time may come, ere long when the thought
and expression may be as untrammeled and
free as air, and when "words that burn and
that BREATHE" may find way 10 the
ear. But, enough for the present.
AIieu! Patrons ! Readers! Friends!-
We leave you in the hope Of a glorious triumph
for the cause OF Democracy at the coming Oc-
tober elections.
Farewell, my home, my home no longer now,
Witness OF many a calm and happy day;
And thou, fair eminencG, upon whose brow
Dwell the last sun shine Of the evening ray.
Farewell I! Mine eyes NJ longer shall pursue
The wcStering sun beyond the utmost height,
When slowly he forsakes the fields of light.
Farewell my home. where many n day has past,
In joys whose lov'd remembrance long shall last"
W. c. GOULD.
