Suance of arrangements of which notice has
already been given This nurber of the pa
per completes the eighteenth year since / be-
came interested in its publication, during
which time | have personally superintendent
all the departments of the paper, with scarcely
weeks exception. The people of the Coun-
of labor, more remunerative, | trust than
printing a newspaper, have relieved myself
of the burden and care of publishing the Re
p1iter, that | may have time to give public
satisfaction, (if poSsible) in the Office to which
haye been chosen.
Mr.. SruRRoCK comes TO me with the highest

occasion to congratulate themselves upon the
change.
No change is made in the proprietorship Of
the paper although the business will be en-
tirey in his control Nor shall l resign eu-
tirely the editorial tripod, nor the control of
its editorial columns, to which / hope to be
able to contribute. | shall not lose my in.
terest nor anxiety in the future course and
prosperity Of the paper, to build up which
have for eighteen years labored On the con
trary, | shall have new inducements aud i'm
proved opportunities to watch its prosperity,
and advance its usefulness
Under these circumstances it will not be ex-
pected that should indulge in Il vaIedictory,
or make the occasion one for feeling remarks
l do not consider myself under any particular
obligations to those who have paid their dol
lar and received the Reporter for one year, be.
cause think they have had the best Of the
bargain. To those who have endeavored to
advance the prosperity Of the paper, by va
rons acts of friendship om under many OBJ
legations.

mcats. and to the people Of the county gen,
orally MY thanks for their votes Ny first

took place at Philadelphia, Wednesday morn.

important positions in the State. Mr.. Strong
was horn IN Berkshire county, Mass, but has
been for nearly thirty years resident Of our

to render his name familiar from one cad Of it
to the ether, and his very sudden death will
be regretted BY a circle of friends.

triue in tue national election. For fifteen
wears lis name has been a household word

vered. No lover OF his country can easily
forget the hearty yea, the unliring and indomi-
table courage, the answering purpose with
which he met the cohorts Of the Slave power
10 the beginning Of that great political var
fare No one can easily forget the burning
words-the manly eloquence-with which he
stood up, while in Congress, for the great prin-
ciples Of Free Labor, Free Men, Free Speech
and Freedom in the Territories Great parties
then existing endorsed his views, put them il
their Platforms, stood by them for time and
then faltered and fell. Great leaders adopt

sunk into oblivion only when they forsook
them. But the lives of men and no. their lips
manifest their political faith and their integrity
to that faith. OF the old Democratic party,
