TO PRINTERS.

1T feems as if newfpaper wares were
made 10 fur market as much as any ether.
The Rarers, and wonderers, and gapers,
engrofs very large lhare of the attention
OF all the fons of the type. Extraordinary
events multiply upon US furpriGngly. Ga
zettes, it is leriouly to be feared, will not
long allow room to any thing that is not
loa;hfome or thocking. A newspaper is
pronounced to be very lean and deititute
of matter, if it contains no accounts of
murders, iuicides, prodigies or monifrous
births. Some OF tkeie tales excite horror,
and others difguR, yet the falhion reigns
ike tyrant to relith wonders, aud almoft
to reilh nothing ellie. Is this a realonable
tate, or is it monfrous and orthy of RI
dicule? Is the hiltory of Newgate the on
ly one worth reading? Are oddities only
TO be hunted! Pray tell US, men of ink,
that if our free pretles are to oitfule mfor-
mqtioS, and that we, the poor ignorant
people, can get it no other way than by
newipspers, what knowledge we are to
CLEAN from the laundering lies, or the
,ireiome truths about thunder forms, that
firange to tell, kill oxen or burn barns,
and cats that bring two headed kittens,
and flows that eat their own pigsi The
growing of hen is fuppo(ed to torebode
cuckoldom, and the ticking of little bug
in the wall threatens yellow fever. 1t
leems really as -four newspapers were bufy
to fpread luperfition. Omens, and dreams,
ndprodigies, are recorded, as if they were
worth minding. One would think Our
gazettes were intended for Roman readers,
who were flly enough to make account
of iuch things. We ridicule the papias
for their creduiity, yet, if all the rrumpe-
ry of Our papers is believed, we have little
ight to laugh at any fet of people on
earth; and If 1t is not believed, why is it
printed?
Surely, extraordinary events have not
the bea title to our iiudious attention.
10 tsudy nature or man, we ought to
know thinss thar are in the ordinary courie
not the unaccoun,abls things that happen
out OF it.
This country is iaid to meafure ieven
hundred millions of acres, and is inhabited
by a.ruoft fix millions of people. Who
can doubt, then, thar great many crimes
will be committed, and a great many
Hrange things will happen every feven
years. There will be thunder fhowers
thar will fpIit tough white eak trees, and
hail forms that will colt iome farmers the

confederation of the bill Z" Changing the
preient fyftem of the high court of chance
ry," until the next felton, Of the General
Ahembly-in order to afcertain the ienie
of the people of this commonwealth on
that important fubjeet.
Among the benefits to be derived from
change of administration, we may enume-
rate the following.
1T. The pages Of the Aurora, and its
little dependant papers will be no longer
ftained with calumny and abule Of upright
men. but will for four years, be filled
with eulogies on the administration.
This exchange will be- much for the better.
AS praiie is more commcndable than blame.
If the administration fhould be good, the
praile will be merited--If evil, fill the
Aurora, to be confident, mutt applaud
it-And the tyajs Of had administration,
is leis evil than the ab4/f ola good one.
I'd. The friends of the late and prefent
administration will have favorable oppor-
tuntity to l,ow tie excellence Of their
principles ard their fuperior merit, by
treating the government withrefpea in the
hands Of men they do not like. The papers
Of that party will not be filled with lies and
0ander againG the contributed authorities /;
but with dignity that difdains the
