Treasurer—J. Alfred Novello. Sub-treasurer—Dr. John Watts.
Chairman—Richard Moore. Secretary—C. D. Collett.
NOTICE TO PAPER-MAKERS.
The association has every reason to believe that the irregularities
and anomalies incidental to the collection cf the paper duty, are
quite as numerous as those which for many years it was engaged in
exposing, as connected with the advertisement duty and the news-
paper stamp. Nothing will tend so much to the abolition of the
paper duty as a systematic attack upon the injustice which it inflict
in individual cases. The association will therefore feel obliged by
any addlition to its information on this subject, and will be ready to
consider the practicability of obtaining redress in any individuals
case of grievance.
Subscriptions to be paid to Messrs. Prescott and Grote, Thread.

HE COTTON CROP!

AlR—Yankee Doodle.
In former years, we diddled John Bull;
Telling him our short (rep tales,
While selling him our Cotton Bales,
Till all the warehouses of Bull
Overflowed with Cotton W. 01.
When Cousin John became most wrathful,
His Cotton specs were all so baleful;
And he vowed—he'd ne'er again
Trust his Cousin Jonathan.
Yet, we've done him this year too,
Holding our Cotton—guess we knew
The crop was short, and Cousin John
Must pay the piper later on ;
And though the price we ask be high,
He'll have to pay it by and bye,
Though now he sulks, and swears he wont;
But he shan't get it if he don't;
And after all, John is no noodle,
Though not a match for—YANKEE Doonmr.
—From the Alabama Sun.
