ton of the Press there' Failing in the attempt ia
.mprove the condition" q! the existing press either
by bribery or menace. and finding the editors of the
PENNSYLVANIA Intelligencer to be men of honor and
firmness, neither to be bought beaten down, the
other alternative of putting up press, to give the
government printing to, has been taken 1t is almost
officially announced, in late number of the Ameri
can Sentinel, printed at Philadelphia, that an i'm.
proved" printer has been obtained. We copy a
part of the article announcing it. wishing we had
time to accompany it with the comments which it
deserves:
FROM THE AMERICAN SENTINEL.
"We are happy to have it in our power to state,
that Samuel c. Stambaugh, Esq. Editor of the Po-
litica Sentinel, published in Lancaster, one of the
most efficient and ably conducted papers in the in
terror Of the state. engaged III support of the eec-
ion of General Jackson. is at this time in our city,
making the necessary arrangements for commenc
ing the publication OF democratic paper at Harris
burg His Journal is to be devoted to the cause of
the People, by supporting the claims Of General
Jackson to the Presidency.
The seat of Government is place, at which cor
rect principles should be circulated well as incu-
Gated. In Mr.. Stambaugh, the People of this state
will if we are not much mistaken, find gentleman
qualified BY his principles, talent, and political ex.
perence, to superintend the establishment he is
about to put in motion. He is intimately familiar
with most Of our public men. His friendly and
u frequent association with the people of Harrisburg
everv winter, for series of years will aptly fit him
to take up his residence at the seat Of Government
e His paper published in Lancaster has, we under
stand, liberal subscription. lie is also Clerk of
d the mayors court of that city. He consequently
makes considerable sacrifice in lcarag his present
:. productive situation. But in common with the other
friends of our party he feels the necessity Of doing
f. justice to our oause," &c.
Really. the party is very fortunate in getting such
: a friendly accommodating gentleman. to leave sol
Z lucrative a concern to eng ghten the People Of Har.
l. risburg-no, not them, but the members of the e
H. gslature Such and such sacrifices cannot but claim
: large reward.
