, with the retiring address Of its long and able
editor, Col. Meiary. The Colonel has been
very properly termed the wheel horse'' Of the
Ohio Democracy. His place will be hard to Gil
But while we regret the departure ofthe Colonel
from the StatssmDH we cannot but rtjoice that
the paper has been placed in the charge Of such
good Democrat and able writer as j. b. Mar
shall, Esq. Mr. NJ. has had long experience in
the editorial ranks, and, We have no hesitation
in saying; that he well make the Statesman a
welcome visitor to every Democrat in Ohio.
We have another campaign before US; and it
is the duty of every Democrat in the State
who is able; to take his county paper first, and
then subscribe for the central organ, the Ohio
Statesmen. We trust that the Democracy Of
Harrison county will do their full share towards
sustaining the Statesman. The following are its
terms, and they are cheap enough;-Daily, SO;
Tri- Weekly, SO; Weekly 81: clubs of2o and
over 81 so, to be paid invariably in advance.
We publish below, in full, the parting address
Of the Colonel, and salutary Of the new editor
Mr.. Marshall Let them be carefully read
To the Readers Sf the Ohio States-
man.
The readers ofthe Statesman are, presume,
generally aware that | am about to leave Ohio,
to enter upon duties new and untried to myself
Both necessity and inclination have contributed
to influence me to this determination. At n
time of life when should have been seeking re-
pose am about to launch out anew in affairs.
responsibilities and perplexities of the active
business Of the world.
After so many years of close and intimate
connection with the interests of the people of
Ohio, and the Democratic party of the STATE III
particular, at this time do not atteihpt to dis
guise, bears heavily upon my feelings. But in
the midst of this glUom there is a raw of
light in the hope-in the almost certain conf
dence that shall meet in my new home and
field OF labor the same warm hearts to appreci-
ate my good endeavors, and excuse my Short
coming.
During thirty years of faithful and unswerv-
ing service in the Democratic ranks-partici-
pating somewhat actively in the conflicts of par
ties and ofmen, would have been more than
human had escaped those errors of judgement
natural to all men. In the active and exciting
scenes of a politicians life, to be exempt from
that was more than could have been expected
Yet am conSoled by the reflection, that what
ever error attended my path, were designed for
good; end that my motives and purposes were
for the best interests of the State and people
which were more prominent in my mind than
selfish ends formy own advancement and advan-
tage.
Not having disposed of the Statesman, I leave
IT under the editorial charge Of Is. MARSHALL
Esq, who has had great experience as a news

ocrat an accomplished scholar and gentleman
of the first character. He will devote his
whole time to make the Statesman interesting
ard useful both as Democratic journal and a
paper of general reading lie has already had
the principal charge of it for the last two months
- The Business department will be exclusively
under the charge of Mr.. RICHARD NEvINs, as it
has been for Some time, and all letters connected
with this department of the paper should he di-
rected to him,
Leaving this establishment under such circum-
stances SHALL of course still feel peculiar in
terest in its welfare, and | hope the Democracy
of the State will not fail to give IT that support
which paper at this point must have "to keep
its head above the water"
All the signs in Ohio at this time insure GER
tain victory forthe Democracy next fall. and
especially ifthey are careful in their selection
oil candidates; and whether here or in distant
territory, shall rejoice with them in their sue
cess and regret with them in their defeats ii
Good principles only want good men to carry
them out, and success is certain

and not in the written record, it is impossible to
say in what part of the Territory of the United
States may be found one April from this;
hence 1t is not necessary at this moment to say
more than bid my readers old ard young, a
hearty farewell for the present hoping that none
tthem will ever fare worse than to find them
selves domlcled on the broad and rich prailies
OF the almost boundless West; and if any of
you should come within the range of the I'M
dersigned you are hereby promised a cordial
shake Of the hand and hearty welcome.

words can convey, for the cordial introduction
with which my most esteemed friend, Col. Me- |
DAIRY presents his "tocnns tenens" Frankly | |
step into his shoes, not with timidity but not |
in the expectation that they will he filled. | |
make no such promise, nor need any such expcc- |
tation be raised. 10 meet his constant aprro- |
baton, and to continue the Staeslnaan in the |
high estimation of the public, anblemished in
character and unrestricted in usefulness. shall
be my constant aim and endeavor In nothing |
will 1t be changed but remain the firm, unshrink-

have not the vanity to suppose that the diff /
ference will not be visible when the times of I
trial come, and the experience and judgement |
which have been looked to as guide, are no
longer here.
But without any afiectation or apprehension,
or any vain promise of achievement, permit me
to say,l shall employ what capacity possess to
conduct the Statesman so as to give most salts
action to its veteran commander and its best
friends
