In pursuance Of a determination formed
many months ago, have affected change in
the proprietorship Of the Journal. Mr.. +. \.
Garlic, lately Of Cannelton and New Orleans,
is my successor. need only say, in intro
ducing him to the readers of the Journal, that
be is so we'll qualified to assume the dutes-ot
principal editor of a standard newspaper, that
fear my readers will too quickly forget him
who for the last seven years has been daily
holding them in familiar converse. lie is an
experienced writer, gentleman Of great prac-
teal information and every way qualified to
make a good paper; and by his able advocacy
of the interests of our city, l am sure the
change will be no loss to the community

is still Fillmore paper, earnest and honest IN
its preference, as it will be Jealous in main
tanning that preference above all others 1t is
a qualification to me Of no ordinary nature,
in leaving the paper of which l took
charge many years ago by the complimentary
invitation Of the most prominent citizens of
Evansville, and to which | have devoted so
many years of hard, unceasing labor, honestly
and earnestly striving to merit the approval
of the community in which lived, and Of the
party whose principles advocated, that my
successor is a gentleman entitled to the full
confidence of those whose approval have my
self been so ambitious of obtaining.
In separating from those with whom have
been so long and so closely connected, in bust
ness social and political relations, there is a
pang of regret on my part, which should
esteem the highest compliment felt to the same
extent by others in separating from myself
For seven years, almost to day, l have re-
sided in this community, upholding and de-
Tending its interests, and laboring earnestly
and to the extent of my power, to advance the
general prosperity. Wherein I have failed, is
no fault of my heart. If in any of these labors
1 have been successful, [ claim no credit be-
yond that to which the honest discharge Of my
duty may entitle me. l leave the city and
the people prosperous, and trust that in my
future far off home, with the news of the
health and success Of each individual friend,

ansville. Satisfied that whether successful or
not, have at least endeay ored to do my duty,
and probably taken unusual pains to please
my patrons, l have no apologies to make
for any errors in the. past At the worst, they
were errors of judgment to which we are all
liable,
To those who have always been ready to
encourage me not only by kind words, but by
good deeds, can only promise them the kind
ly remembrance of life time, 1 am not so
much of christian, perhaps, but that l should
promise my enemies an equally long remem-
brance, if 1 had any serious advantage they
have obtained over me to recollect. As it is,
giving them the credit Of at least good iaten-
ton in injuring me as much as l have them,
l hope the i'll wishes of none win follow me.

Wishing individual prosperity to all, friends
and enemies, and thanking my patrons in
town and country for the past evidences of
their friendship [ now bid them hearty
goodbye. ADD. II. SANDERS.
