NEWSPAPER BORROWERS.

NEWSPAPER BORROWERS. Reader, if you borrowed this paper, send i: right back-as you may feel cheap after you have finished this paragraph. If the tailor sends new coat home to you, would you think your neighbor fair in his request for the first use of it?
 If the baker brings you a hot loaf, should you like to lend it to your neighbor, and have it returned cold, with the cor- ners gnawed off
 1.-the penny-post leaves letter on your counter, should you think it right in your neighbor to seize it, before you had time to read it, to tally a load of potatoes on it, and thank you for the use of it some hours after, if he should not be SO unfortunate as to lose it2
 If these things are not right, then it is not right to borrow newspaper on the day when it is published.
 We have received request from one of our subscribers, to discontinue his paper for the present, for no other reason than that he is plagued by borrowers. We presume they are not such persons as he can very well deny the use of the paper. So it is with you, borrower, whoever you are The person who lent you this, although he apparently did it with much pleasure, wished that you would take the paper yourself, and not take his new coat, hot loaf, and letter, before he has made full use of them himself-POrtsmouth Jour.

from Albany, and took part in the IabOrs of the day. ........
 It seems inevitable, that after reasonable men shall have reflected on the ridiculous traits of our militia system, they must feel them sensibly. People will now inquire whether the vain display of gawdy trap pings, feigned feelings, long fulsome speeches and professions, in times of prU- found peace, and frequently by the most chicken hearted members of the cOmmu- nity, are not as consummately ridiculous as any burlesque excess can possibly be. As to the real objects for which the militia laws were first made, the most sensible men of the country have them most at heart, but at the same time can best discriminate be- tween success and failure in the attempts made to secure them. Arms should be in the hands of every man, or within his reach; and. all moral means calculated to make the people fit to use them in an emer- gency with intelligence, patriotism, self de- nial and success, should be protected and fostered by the laws. By no means should a system be established or continued, which acts on principle contrary to this and when it has been proved, as we think it has abundantly been, that our militia laws tend rather to make fops than soldiers, to con- vert drills and reviews to farces, to dissi- pate time, remove the young from the sal- utary oversight of friends, and often to in- troduce them to scenes and companions which they would shun; when, in short, the great and solid advantages of good militia system have been set at naught and avoided by the very laws themselves, it cer- tainly seems to be proper time for their thorough reformation.
