The Ebensburg Alleghanian. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1865-1871, 1866-10-11
Announcement.


One number after the present will
complete the seventh year of the existence
OF The 1Heghdnian. During Eve of
these seven years, l have been its propri-
elor and editor, and huubly, and I trust
faithfully, have sought through It's col
umns to defend and establish the aims
nnd principles Of the Republican Union
party, believing that by SO doing ! was
serving the interest of the entire country.
From this faith, it is perhaps unnecessary
for me to say, l have not departed Nor
shall l. The 1aeghonion, though thus
advocating the teachings of the party Of
its choice, has never been a mere party
organ, and much less the mouth-piece of
a CLIQUE or faction. During the five
years it has been under my control, it has
never asked. nor has it ever received,
dollar of patronage from any political
source whatever. Its advocacy of princi-
pies and candidates, whether Federal or
State, County OF District, has never been
to it source of gain. It's entire income,
from the printing OF suffrage tickets and
political handbi.k during the past five
years, has Lot amounted to one hundred
dollars. I do not utter these statements
by way of complaint. Far from it. l
desire only to show that The AHeghanian
hos been an Independent paper, and that
its editor has never sought to make his
purse fat by means of his political prin-
ciplos. Since the day first put on the
editorial garb, l have not had a moiety of
sufficient leisure in which to discharge an
editors duties. Many a time my edito-
Tials have been written during an hour
stolen from the cares of mercantile life.
Now, more perhaps than at any former
period, is all my attention required by
my mercantile affairs. / propose, there
fore, to relinquish at the close of the pres
ent volume the publication of The die
ghanidn. While such is my design, 1
would be sorry to SEQ the county seat of
Cambria destitute of Republican Union
organ. The absence OF such an organ
would be loss to The larger portion Of
the county. Regularly has The ANegha-
man gone forth to the people of this sec
tion, explaining and maintaining the prin-
ciples ever dear to il, anG exerting its
p iLHuenee toward the establishment in the
hearts of the people of this section those
principles that bid fair soon to triumph
IN every part of the Union. I deem it no
vanity to say that the interests of the
Republican organization will suffer in the
absence of paper here to advocate its
claims. therefore propose 10 grant free
Of rent, interest or charge, for term of
three or more gears, the entire AUeghanian
establishment, volued at about thousand
dollars, TO any teorthy person Of EJers6urg
or 0icinity, or to any association Of persons,
Of aohOms 1 am arilling to be one, acho ,cill
undertake to continue the publication of the
paper for the time named a. the interest of
tie RepuLlicaa Union party,
JudSlnS from experience, L entertain
no doubt thatunder judicious management
the PAPER could be made a profitable
investment. But for the reasons named,
wish to Withdraw from its publication /;
and desiring that the county seat shall
not be without Union newspaper, 1 make
the foregoing offer. A. A. BARKER.
