Loskport, Febr nary23, 183.8, TO THE PATRONS. OF THE BALANCE. . We: have sold the establishment of the Lockport Balance, to, the conductors of. the Ningara Democrat; and with this nuin ber, closes our cofmesion with this paper. Several tant considerations have induced us to take this step; and a- mong | mot the Teast of these, is the conviction 'and belief; that the prosperity of Democratic principles, and the inter- ests of the Deinoeratic party in this county, can be'arried.on and promoted with a greater degree of unanimity and energy; by conceutrating the patronage and. support upon one préss, than by having that patronage divided among two,which roust necessarily in a mensure, cripple the ability and usefulness of both. - The Balunce and Democrathave therefore been mmerg. ed into one paper; which is hereafter to be unier the:divection Jn f : | who wo | Buffal incensed have rest - Wea avs. ; ~ _.

In severing the editorial relation which bas for some time existed between our realers and ow self, we feel called upou to express the most heartfelt gratitude and thanks, for the many tokens of kinduess afi confidence that we have received from many of them. > If we have injured the feelings of any one, other than by a rigid and conscientious discharge of our duties, it has been unintentional, and we regret it exceedingly, The alacrity and zeal with which great numbers of the most patriotic and reputable of our fellow-citizens; | both in this county and abroad, have \'Plux|L:}rily aud - spontancously come forward to aid and sustain us in the stand we | have ta- ken in defence of the - rights and Mbertics of the Canadian Patridis who are struggling for freedom aud Independence, is peculiarly gratifying to us, and affords a striking evidence that the noblo spivit of a Laravetre and a Koseiaxo, still animates the yasoms of American freemen to bidding fdieu to our editorial brethren, it seems like sun- dering the ties of family relationship---like losing the society of friends with whom we have enjoyed many an intelectual feast, and thany a social and entertaining chit-chat. - But the best of friends must sometimes part-and so we bid you one & all-whethér Democrat or Whig, Patriot or Tory-1 friendly and Eatery?“ aneu!
