The Wheeling repository — Wheeling, Va. [W. Va.], 1807-10-08 00:00:00, page 4

par. ion has continued eight weeks ; hut
as vet, excepting the small quantity
which was mentioned as being on the
wav from Chambursburgh, we have not
1 ;en able to procure a supply ot' paper.
We are not, however, informed of the
result of all our applications.
it is hoped, that to mention the fol
lowing facts, will be sufficient to satisfy
• •very reasonable person, as to the
necessity of either continuing to print
the Repository on writing paper, or sus
pending it, at the date of the last num
ber. A friend at Redstone urged the
r.apcr-makers there (Jackson 5k Sharp
1 ess) to furnish us with some pap: r; hut
they stated that it was all engaged by
their old customers, and they could not,
and at length every rearm on the sub
ject. Mr. Gardiner, of Marietta, was ai
terwards at the same mill, and offered
twenty-five per cent, more than the cash
price, ii tin v would let him have six j
reams , but they refused him, alleging j
that it was engaged. After the arrival
'•i tne smaii quantitv trom v^uamners
burgh, our correspondent there wrote
that Mr. Colhoun informed him that
th v had it in contemplation to make no
more printing paper—and that no more
could be had. When this was known,Mr.
Ho'Lon, Bookseller in this place, wrote
T his correspondents in Philadrl; kin,
an i urged them to procure and forward
him a quantity of printing paper, i n
this letter no direct answer has ever
been received ,—hut Mr. 15. met with a
Hook seller of his acquaintance from
Miiinielphia several weeks ag >. who m
.fo. m d him that paper was so scarce
with them, it was with difficulty th y
could get enough for their own use;
and that Baltimore and Ni w-York w. re
vi no better condition.
In a few months a Paper-mill will he
in operation on lleaver. We shall than,
in all probability, have ph nty ol pap r
in this part of the country ; and v.
know ol no article of domestic, mar. i
iact ire which promises ni»n: atlvantag •
to tiic country, and profit to the propri
etors. la the mean titn--, our expe.ti
tions depend on heut.ickv. About too
■Weeks ago we had an opportunitv o!
conversing with twy gei.i men from
♦hat quarter, who lat' \;hci.* n lieith.it
there w is plenty of p , rat the mid
near L xington. Cat ol tV. sc gentle
men, a particular friend, u a > ri sides at
JYun.atoue ar.d v/..s th« n on his wav
home, promi ;vd that if th j aa-r couid
h • huj, he wcUid procure a quantity,
nnd send it up the l iver ns soon os pcs
sible.
"We have now stated the measures
we have taken in order to procure pa
per; hud we trust the public will believe
that we have been anxious, as well as
industrious, to avoid the suspension
w hich, has taken place. It will be seen
that our unsuccesiulness has been owing
to the extreme scarcity of the article
wanted, an 1 the obligation which the
paper-makers supposed themselves to
be under, to discard all new customers,
when they could not supply their old |
ones with as much paper as they wished
to have.
We ate not vet certainly informed
that the mills in Kentucky can furnish
new customers with paper. l;rom the j
information we hav received, however, j
we arc inclined to be’ieve that they i
can. And in order to make the paper j
now on hand hold out till some cjm nr- 1
rive from thence, it is intended, alter
thi i number, to publish the Repository j
in half sheets, weekly, giving heo weeks j
for one paper.

The speech was read to him, and inter
