Close of Volume II.

This ii>an« ©loses the second volume of Tur Rkxmkt.akr Union.— l\»r two year* ve have labored to todvaact tho local interests of the people of Jasper county. Politically, our sympathies have Veen with the republican party, an organisation which stood firmly by our country in its day of sore trial, and whose policy and patriotism triumphed over all opposition whether from abroad or at homo and succeeded In conquering a permanent peaoo which has been established upon an enduring foundation of Justice and right. To-day we arc *till laboring for the success of this £r«nd party in such manner as in our hnmble judgment seems right and consistent. If we have erred in any respect the fault has not arisen from intention, but came through youthfulness that is rapidly ripening into middle age, or ignorance that we shall earnestly endeavor to succeed by that education which rosnlts from experience and a more intimate acquaintance with the thoughts, motives, feelings and virtues ot mankind. The patronage and encouragement received from the people of Jasper county is accepted as an evidence that our labors, thongh frequently imperfect, approximate to what was expected, and that our intentions have not been misinterpreted.— Thinking thus, we shall strive in future to improve upon the past, and promise to bring to our editorial and mechanical aid such skill, enterprise and energy as wo can summon. Thanking our friends, advisers and patrons we close, respectfully asking a continuance of your friendship, kindness and assistance ami that those who are indebted to os trill rail at the earliest convenience, wild settle their accounts.
