Miller left in January of 1830. By the end of July of that year Stine left and transferred ownership of the paper back to Miller who partnered with Elijah P. Lovejoy. Lovejoy became editor the next month and stayed until February, 1832. Miller, J.L. Murray and R.V. Richards were then listed as owners. They sold the paper to Col. Charles Keemle, who closed it in 1832.
