We are constrained, unce more, - address our.

suppose, that the meails dopted by Us, in May
last, viz addressing circular to them no,iyidG-
ally, would haze attained our object. Hitherto,
VIC have been disappointed
To those who are coIWersant With the toll ard
fatigue heaped UPON the conductors of a News
paper. as also, with the great ezpcnse to which
they sre sub; ectsd,--ii is matter OF surprize,
how any person. who becomes a subscriber to a

erHons TO render our paper worthy OF s,ibstanti
al patronage, have 5cen unrerY,tting, aud, we
trust, we can assert without ii'cGrring the impu-
taton OF VANITY. that they have been apparent
In return, what have We receiyed Compare
lively nothing. The result chiefly is, a long.iist
o. accounts on our books It our paper be not
worth paying for, it is certainly not worth taking;
and VIC mad rather have the names OF those, who
10 not comply with our terms OF Subscription,
stricken from Our LIST, than to continue il 10

they will transiait 10 us The compensation 10
which we are ga fairly entitled
We have expssssc,, ourselves precisely rs VIC

we densnd--aad our engagements are such, as
to compel us 10 the course which we now take.
Demands are continually made upon US, for the
discharge of which, we Lad calculated upon re-
&C wing the amount; due vs. for subseriptinn aid

TO have recourse 70 other funds, which were IN
