Just for the Honor.


In regard the payment OF the national
wish TO make few suggestions which conceive to be
perfectly practicable and which, according to my judg
ment, would money than any other method
have seen proposed. The fundamental idea Is this:
That the government, having given the enterprise an
Official organization accept donations from each citizen
disposed 70 contribute In sums Of i've dollars and up
wards $50 TO give every one an opportunity TO DO
included in the Foll Of Honor with the understanding
that should tho project succeed the government will
publish In neatly bound volume or volumes the name
Of each subscriber and the amount subscribed and fur
nsh to all copy of this national record, which would
become historic receipt Of the actual cost Of puooa
ton There be objection to twenty thousand ten
thousand I've thousand &c. shares but there arc thou
sands and thousands who would cheorfuly give in pro-
portion to their MEANS but cannot approach these larger
sums and yet In reality deserve more credit consider
ing their possessions, than the twenty thousand sub
scber In executing this plan let agents DO appointed
without salary every district IN the United States TO
solicit subscriptions and honestly believe that In one
year at hest the whole amount would be realized To
any one 1t oil familiar with human nature the advan
tagcs and prospects Of this plan are once obvious
should this meet your approval lend your support and
influence. SHAKESPEARE OF New Jersey

= PROSPECTUS.


The time has come to issue the Annual
Prospectus of THE ONO STATESMAN.
This Journal was established to expound
and enforce the great ideas of Government
taught and practiced by THOMAS JEFFERSON
and ANDREW JACKSON, which gave extent
OF territory to the Union, worldwide re-
nownt TO these States, and unexampled pros
perity and happiness to the American peo-
pie. Never before in the history of the
Government, were the exposition and the
enforcement Of these ideas so necessary as
now. Alone through their adoption and
faithful practice by the Administrator, can
the Union be restored, and peace and wide-
spread happiness be brought again to our
untry. now torn and mangled and desc
.ated by gigantic Civil War.
A partial change in the Editorship and
Proprietorship of The STATESMAN has taken
place. LEWIS BAKER has sold his entire in
terest in the establishments and retired from
the position that was assigned him on the
Paper--E. B. EsHELMAN having bought that
interest and an additional interest. Mr..
EsHELMAN has been for nearly .veyears
the Editorof The Chillicothe Adcertiseu-a
paper regarded as one of the leading DEM
ocratic Journals of Ohio. He has now
assumed the duties and responsibilities
of his new position as the co-editor OF
The STATESMAN, thus uniting his expert
ence and ability with those of AMOS lay
MAN, in the Important work of continuing
to make the several editions of the Paper
deserving the cordial and liberal support OF
he Democracy, everywhere.
THE ONO STATESMAN COMPANY now call
upon the friends of the Union and the Con-
stitution, in every County, Township, and
School District, throughout the entire State,
to actively aid them in the circulation of
this old and time-honored Central Organ OF
the Ohio-Democracy. They ask that all OF
its EDITIONS be literally subscribed for and
paid, tor, during the ensuing year. t
An accurate daily abstract Of the pro-
ceedings of the Ohio Legislature, when in
session, he latest Telegraphic Dispatches,
including the proceedings of Congress,
when i session, and the Markets from all
the Commercial Cities-will be given in
each Issue. HY c1ns ulE
The WEEKLY STATEsMAN is large thir-
ty-two column journal, printed on good
paper and clear type, large enough for old
eyes. Each number contains complete
resume Of all the Military and Political news
of the week; the latest Telegraphic and
Market Reports; carefully prepared col
lectionio of Literary reading for the home
and family; and an abundance of Para
graphs upon every topic Of interest or i'm
portance.
While the war continues, and the curren-
cy is Of such sort as 1t is, we can hope for
little or no profit. Our terms for THE
WEEKLY have been somewhat increased,
but not in proportion to the increased cost
of white paper, labor, and everything else
used in making Newspaper. The Paper
cannot be published with any lower scale
of prices. Asit is, there is really nothing
equally valuable SO cheap as q Newspaper
like The STATESMAN. ,8o
