When the war closed We thought We bad done
all The Democratic party could demand Of us
and ths, they could no longer ask US to publish
a paper for their benefit. Besides. We needed re-
taxation, and our private interests required that
attention which our journalistic duties would not
permit us to give them. After the war bad
closed We defer mined to give up the publication
of the Sentinel. and this resolution was made
known to our friends This vas simply a mst,eI

do so. and finally We have beea successful. And
We most sincerely hope the change will be bsse-

the Sentinel been right; but il erroneous, then II
falls upder the same condemnation. But the
time has not yet arrived for judgment upon the
past. We are now passing through the cruciolC
which will test who were the true friends OF the
Constitution. OF Republican institutions and the
glorious Government framed by our Fathers.
With this publication Of the Sentinel our con

The old business Of the Sentinel establishment
