SALUTATORY

81 He who. undertakes the editoriass
management of an organ for the peop'e,
must feel that bis task is such a1 onef
as will require no small amount of labor
and patience. Such are the demands
ofthe public now for tne sincere milk
of the word,n that in an enlightened
and cultivated community no mere
excuse will pass.
The journalistic path is trodden by
too many great workers, the Journalistic
pen is propelled by too mary vigorous
hands, with vigorous brains as the real
motor to give any hope to him who
does net know the magnitude of this
task which we have undertaken in your
midst, But being somewhat acquainted
with the character CT your people and
familiar with your institutions, we have
dared to presume upon your good will,
and in the sentiment OF the immortal
Demesthenes in his oration upon the
Crown, submit that with as great favor
as the Gods look upon you, with the
same favor may the discriminating and
reading public of Belmont and the
adjacent counties look upon the Bel
MONT CHRoN1cLE under its new man
agement.
The question which will be asked by
many ofits ffiends is Ho~ is it to be
conducted? ?'' 'sN hat are its ains and
purposes?'' We can certainly answer
the latter question; the former can only
be answered by that great albiter that
decides all events in conformity with
the DEGREES of fate.
Weare not unmindful Of the present
position of the CHRONICLE and Of is
very many intimate relations to the
public; how it has jealously guarded
the rights ofthe people; how ithas held
up the hands of the masses in that
which was s'true and beautiful and
good. ..S...., ..'a' -. - -. A.
We recognize the fact that we are not
among you to begin new enterprise,
but rather TO carry forward in the besi
possible way one already established,
and TO add our share in the accomplish.
ment Of the great work already SO well
begun. ee.ir..s ssli :
And first letus assure you, that al
though presses, type, ink and paper
and the whole machinery of the
CHRONICLE has been and may be
bought for illegal tender" yet there
are some things connected with it thai
are not articles Of merchandise.
The principles OF the editor Of thi:
journal are not in the market, and
q therefore, upon any and all ofthe great
questions ofthe dayin which the peopIt
are interested it will utter no uncertain
sound. sIe-

oracle to know its thoughts. It's hands

spec.able Republican, who was worthy
to be called a gentleman, would propose
ajoint discussion, the Democratic speak

accept the proposal. But that no Dem

even during the oppressive heat ofdog
DAYS. Now we happen to know that
all the talk about Mr.. Poorman, in last
weeks Gazette, is the merest bunkum;
and in saying what he now does, the
editor of the Gazette stamps with false
hood all his public and private declara-
tions respecting Mr.. Poorman made
within the last seven or eight years.

that a lGreeleyite will find no favois
among the Republicans there; but we
speak what we know when we say that
it is the settled determination of the
Republicans of Harrison county to give
Captain Danford the full Republican
majority of the county and we intend
to give o big majority this Fall. He
will not fall behind a single vote in any
township in the county. If Col. Poor
man or any other man imagines any
thing to the contrary he is simply de-
ceived, and has only to come into the
county little while to get undeceived.

The Coming Message.

a Washington dispatch says the
President has recently been arrang-
ing the points for his message, but
has not yet commenced writing it.
Some of the contents of the document
may be inferred only from his recent
private utterances, and it is safe to
say that it will be more liberal in its
tone, especially toward the South,
than his former message, the recent
quiet election in that section showing
indications of a better feeling than
has heretofore existed toward the
General Government, while the press
is more moderate in its %utterances,
not taking into account the popular
majority of the country. The recent
pardon of Appleton Oaksmith is re-
garded by Southern gentlemen as
showing greater confidence in the
South, and foreshadowing Executive
action relative to some of the ku-
Klux prisoners now serving sentences
in the Albany P~enitentiary. The
President is so well pleased with the
reception of his enforcement of the
civil service rules in the appointment
of the Philadelphia Postnastcrship
that he has concluded to apply them
in the New York Custom-hOuse.
