BY one Of those strange mutations which
sometimes occur in business, the undersigned,
from this date, sewers his connection with the
Union. Mr.. E. F. Church, so well-known and
ohighly respected, has purchased our interest,
and resumes his old position before the people
of the county, while we seek field of labor
elsewhere.
Five years ago we came to this neighborhood
in the humble capacity Of School Teacher
Subsequently we spent time in the active SER
vice Of our country. On the first of January,
1851, we united with Mr. Church in the publ
cation of the Baltimore County Advocate, and
for the past year have labored in connection
with the Messrs. Longneckers in issuing the
c.hiou.. In the Capacity of Editor we labored
faithfully and honestly for the success of those
principles which to-day make Maryland free
State and our country a great and glorious
Union. TO the extent of our humble ability,
it has been our aim to serve the people of Bal
tinorc county by advocating such meausres as
we believed for their best interests. We have
received many sevidences of their appreciation
santl. goodwill, without distinction OF party or
sect. We cannot but be grateful for their uni
.formexpressions of kindness, the remembrance
of their hospitality ; the associations formed
and friendships contracted, will lingcr in mem
ofy while reason shall maintain her sway.
~ It's with many regrets that VIC write these
lines. We long since learned to call Towson-
towlr Sour home and it is only at this mo-
Inent that we know how strong are the ties that
bind us tosthc spot. We search our heart in
vain for an unkind feeling toward any one
Several whom we once looked upon as friends,
mislet by prejudice or deceived by false rep
lrsentaGons, have ceased their kindly greet
lngs as we meet them in the daily yocations of
life. We bear them ne ill-will for the injustice
they do US, and leave it to time and their better
Judgment for correction.
szWhen we first came to Baltimore county the
tempest of war was gathering in the horizon.
We saw it burst forth on the memorable 10Th
of April, 1861. Two years ago, when our first
editorial came to your ffresides, the storm was
raging. in all its fury. Doubs and gloom, lam
entation and woe, pervaded the land. Thank
! God, that in our last Editorial we may congrat.
sulate you on a restored Union, an emancipated
State, prosperous county, wealth, intelligence
and happiness on the increase, with every in
dieation Of bright and successful future be-
fore you. And in thus taking leave of those
with whom we have held pleasant converse for
the past two years, we beg that all will accept
our best wishes for their individual and social
welfare.

Once more appear before the citizens of Bal
more County as a newspaper publisher After an
absence of one year from the business, l enter
the field as joint proprietor, publisher and editor,
) Of the Baltimore County Union
In February, 1850, nearly sixteen years ago.
as is known to many of the present readers of
the paper, | commenced the publication of the
Baltimore County AdcOcate, the first paper printed
in the county, which continued until January
1864. UptO 1861, the paper had professed neu-
trality, but when the war against the life of the
Nation was commenced no man or paper could
2 be neutral On January lst 1864, Capt L. NJ.
Hayerstick became joint partner with nae in the
rddcocate, and it was conducted as a staunch sup
porter of the Administration of the lamented
Lincoln and Of the measures Of his Administra-
.tion. Owing to the fact that there were then
two papers in the county advocating the same
principles, the 4AdUOcats and american, it was
thought advisable to unite them; retired, and
tie result of the combination was The Union
under the proprietorship of Haverstick l. Long
5 neckers.
- / have now purchased Mr.. Haversticks iAter-
fsest in the paper, and from this time it will be
published by myself and the Messrs. Longneckers.
On re-entering the newspaper arena, 1 have
few promises to make. am pretty well known
in the county. It will be admitted that for fifteen
years published a readable paper. Though it
might have lacked editorial talent, it was well
come weekly visitor into many families. 1t will
be my constant desire in the future to serve the
pnblic faithfully and honestly.
It win be the aim of the paper to deserve and
maintain the confidence and support of the loyal
people ofthe county. 1t will support the princi-
Piles of Right, Justice and Nationality, which
have carried the country through the late terrible
struggle against Rebellion. 1t will stand by our
President in his patriotic efforts to reconstruct
the Union in such manner that it will be per
petual, and that henceforth and forever we will
be homogeneous Nation.
IS ae In our efforts to continue the Union as an
ceptabIe and reliable paper, the new firm respt
fully asks and hopes to receive continuation
the liberal patronage heretofore bestowed upor
