In dissolving this connexion
'there are mingled feelings of both pleasure and pain—pleasure.in laying aside out '.•weighty responsibilities, and pain in giving lip all that delightful interchange of thought -and all those pleasing incidents associated •with editorial life.
3.
In the year 1848, we, in connexion with
KEENEY,
as publisher, commenced the
publication of the "Montgomery Journal" 'under the most unfavorable auspices, with many prejudices to overcome and diiliculties to surmount. We commenced upon the heels of a signal failure which had a -wakened feelings of distrust in the mindof the people and caused them to look inauspiciously on a similar enterprise so soon commenced. Although engaged in a very laborious practice of Medicine, we fearlessly embarked in the undertaking with a firm determination, and with no other feeling than that which pleads for success. Hie clouds which hung darkly and gloomily sover our beginning, rapidly passed away :the strong feelings of distrust in the community soon gave place to confidence friend after fiiend rallied to our support words of commendation from those we esteemed cheered us on in the discharge o1 'our duty our subscription list gradually swelled until success was no longer a problem, but a certain reality. At that time the masses of our State and countiy weie divided into two gieat parties then known as Whig and Democratic. Bclie\ing that ,the doctrines of the Wing parly were the principles bv which our hathcrs and the early patriots of our country were guided, we gave our poweis to their advocacy, their promulgation among the people, and (heii •adoption by our stale and national legislature. Prominent among these principles, and one to which we most fondly cling was the great American system—the protection of American industry, American artisans, mechanics, and laborers in preference io those of nil other nations. This sy.item we regarded and defended as the great foundation principle of both state and national prosperity over which the protecting icgi.s of our government should ever and always be extended—a principle by which' all the vast ami unlimited resources of national wealth might and would be speedily developed. Under such protection the rapid progress of our country in all the elements of greatness and prosperity would be unparalleled in the annals of liisto:y.—
political stage, and new leaders
stand in opposing array on the arena of high debate. The discussion of old issues liave well nigh ceased, and the thoughts of all parlies turned with deep and intense interest upon that vexed, exciting, and always threatening mibjoct—-negro .slavery, lime and again have dark -and learful storms beatin merciless fuiy npon our gallant
ifcip of SUte as she proudly moTedfo*n
the stream of time, and as often haB" ebb weathered those storms and again floated on with swelling canvass and prosperous galeswhen the roar and turbulence of 1850 was hushed and stilled by the heroic efforts of Henry Clay, there ascended from the hearts of twenty millions, the cry of4'all is well," and many drtamed of permanent repose, but repose was of short dufttion.— There existed upon our statute book a principle established by our Fathers which was "canonized in the hearts of the 'people" and which no ruthless hand had dared to touch" for passing years. That principle was like a river of peace in all the length and breadth of our land, but the ruthless hand of Stephen A. Douglass prompted by a mad and daring ambition tore it from the book where it had been placed by the wisest and best statesmen of the past—thus violating a sacred compact, trampling under foot the compromises of our Fathers and throwing a firebrand among those who were dwelling together in the relations of friends, and bretheren. Thus originated that fearful storm by which the ship of State, is now tossed and driven. Whither she will bo drifted none may know. The efforts of man are powerless in checking the gulf stream current which now bears her on with resistless energy7— We may only lift our hearts to Him in whose hands are the destinies of nations.— We can only hope that her ribs of oak may never be pierced by the vermin of this sectional strife and that she may never go down carrying with her the last and bright est hopes of tho humanfamily. Another element of recent political discussion which was mighty in sundering old party ties was that pertaining to our naturalization laws this oo was of deep, intense interest, and of vial importance ami will still occupy a prominent place in the political platforms of the day, nor will its discussion cease until there is a uniform, judicious system of naturalization laws which will be just to the foreigner and safe for the American people.
But time would fail us to speak of the arious principles and parties which have prung up from the fragments of the old Whig and Democratic parties. Of these we have freely written in times past, nor ave we concealed any opinions on any of the great questions either of State or naonal policy. Earnestly have we endeavored to defend and advance all the great principles which we believed calculated to promote the best interests of our country and jylvance her prosperity. Nay, it may be that at times when writing in the heat of political contests, we may have spoken with too much zeal and employed language too severe for that decorous bearing which should ever be manifested by opposing parties—but what we have written belongs to the past, and may not be recalled we can only regret our errors and rejoice over whatever may have been done for the promotion of good. Many and severe are the conflicts in which we have been engaged, but they are passed and gone, and their memory, with us, lies buried in the dust our feelings towards all are only those of kindness.
Those who have not tried it can know nothing of the responsibilities and trials which writing for a paper in connection with a constant and severe practice of medicine brings under these responsibilities and with these trials we have labored for more than seven long years. Under these circumstances wo have not written nor edited as under other oircumstances we might or would have done. That imperfections have marked our course is readily admitted, but our aims and intentions have ever boon for high and noble ends.
That the principles of freedom ami temperance, for which we have labored so earnestly, are right and true, ami will ultimately prevail, th ns's not a shadow of doubt on our minds. The good sense of the American people, their best interests and highest good will demand and secure their permanent establishment as the laws of our land. Heaven speed the day when
And Heaven's last thunder shakes the world below." On tho part of both editor and publisher we extend to the numerous friends who have given us their patronage, our most heartfelt thanks, and our most earnest prayer is that each ami all may live to see the great principles for which we have contended become the permanent rule of action for ihe entire American people. May we not hope that your earnest labors will not cease till that glorious consumation is effected, aud now adieu, vale vale iterumqve

iJ&UTATORY.
In entering upon the responsible duties pertaining to the Editorial care of the Montgomery'Journal, it would be strange indeed were we not to feel some trembling lest thosd duties should not be-performed in a manner commensurate with their importance, .and calculated to please the various tastes of our numers readors. Few who have not bestowed much thought on the subject, are aware of the labor to be per formed, the difficulties to be encountered, the obstacles to be overcome, and the versatility of talent to be employed in conducting a popular and useful Journal.
Having determined to embark in the business, we have endeavored to look at the subject in all its bearings, and meet all opposing difficulties with that spirit which aims alone at success. 1 For seven years and a half has the Journal been conducted by my esteemed and valued friend, Dr. T. W.
FRY,
whose ability as an Editor has
received the approval of that great party, lha principles of which he so manfully advocated and defended. In taking the position and assuming the responsibilities which ho has so faithfully occupied and discharged, we shall endeavor to put forth that energy and zeal which will insure the continued prosperity of our paper.
We have entered upon the business in stirring and exciting times—wars, revolutions, and changes, are of daily and perpetual occurrence progress is stamped upon every feature of the present age knowledge is rapidly diffusing its radiant*beams in all ranks of society commerce is unfurling her sails in new and untried soas the arts and sciences are unfolding their wonders to the admiring world the millions of earth's inhabitants who have been slumbering in the darkness and amid the shadowy realms of ignorance are now awaking to newness of life, feeling the genial warmth of that benign system of education which is gradually diffusing itself through all nations and countries, aud arc now realizing a sense of that high destiny for which they weie created.
In our own country old parties and organizations are breaking up and passing away. New associations are coining upon the stage of action elements different from those which divided former parties now agitate the public mind, and run new lines of deraarkatiou between the conflicting poweis In a word, old things are passing away- and the face of the political deep is changing like the waters of ocean when the last rays of the setting sun linger and play upon her heaving billows.
In all these changes and revolutions the Press is a mighty engine, which reaches in its influence both rulers and people, and advances or retards the great principles which move tho masses. To keep our readers fully informed on all the various topics of interest which constitute the passing history of the world, shall be our high and constant aim.
But in addition to this there are certain principles which sve shall advocate and defend, boldly, freely, independently, and yet with that courtesy due to those with whom we may differ. Among those principles are Temperance and Freedom—in the sense in which it was understood by tho great heroes of the American revolution.
We may briefly state that we intend to advocate those great principles which now constitute the platform of the Republican party.
To the old patrons of the Journal we would say, give us a fair and impartial trial, and then judge if we be competent to the task imposed upon us. Judge not harshly till proven by our works.

Mar*' I nave been murdereaoy a gang 6f cowards in cold blood, without any cause." These were the dying words of Mr. Brown of Kentucky^ who was^mnrdered in cold blood by .the Missouri Kansas Territory*! After" hacking htm with hatchets, stabbing and kicking him as thoy would a ferocious wild beast, they threw him into a wagon and bore him to his wife. She askerL how he had received his wounds, to which he replied in the above language, and then expired. Suchare.some of the effects of squatter sovereignty such are some of the "informalities" which President Pierce is disposed to regard a« trifling events sncli are the deeds of men whom the general government are asked to protect by the national troops such are the deeds of those who seek to plant Slavery on the virgin soil of Kansas. Mobs, murders, riots, and threatened civil war are the legitimate results of the Kansas bill as carried out by the old line party. "IHtyl thev suffered the Missouri Compromise to remain as established by our Fathers, which had been "cannonized in the hearts of the Ameiican people," how peaceful would have been the settlement of Kaustis. Her soil would not have been moistened with the blood of innocent, unoffending man riots and murder would not have marred her early .history civil war like a dark and evil genius would not have hovered over her early settlement. Let the people bear in mind tho difference in the results of the policy advocated by the Republican party and that by the Old Line party. The one productive of peace, and the other of riot, murder, and bloodshed.
