Vermont telegraph. [volume] (Brandon [Vt.]) 1828-1843, 1836-10-12


Telegraph. Now we can assure him that on
such terms our press could never give anoth-
er impression. With all kindness Of feeling
we once more say that it is useless to make
any offer for copy Of the Telegraph, that
does not come up to the published terms.
One thimble-full Of impartial, upright,
straight forward principle weighs more with
US than hogshead Of gold. But the gold is
not there, after all. The patronage thai
makes constant drafts upon our private purse
is sinking patronage-a patronage that the
more we have of it the worse we are Off
The present terms Of the Telegraph are the
lowest that it can possibly be afforded for
These terms, in the main part, were gradu-
ated when a dollar would buy double the
amount of almost any article Of living that
it will now. Especially then will our farm
ing brethren, who are benefited by such
state of things in proportion as we are de-
pressed, ask US to do what would inevita-
bly, sink the establishment the next hour ?
We appeal, for once, to their magnanimi1y.
We have no begging to Go in the case. If
the Telegraph is worth support, let it be sup
ported-if not, let it 60 down, and we will
say, amen, and go about such other business
as the Lord shall appoint. The field is
wide The harvest Is abundant. The inn
plements are various.
: These things are thrown out, not because
there is any thing particularly alarming in
the present aspect Of the Telegraph's affairs,
but to make ourselves understood beyond the
f possibility of an excuse. Those therefore
} who say, send one or more copies at such or
or such price or discontinue, will under
: stand and may expect that if that offer is be-
low the published terms the paper will be
! discontinued.
FAITHFUL PREACHING. 1t is not on
ly the duty of ministers to preach with 81
fidelity to souls and 10 their Lord and Mas
,, ter, but it is the bounden duty ofthe church
- individually and collectively to sustain the
ministry in such preaching. We are led
10 this remark from having heard this lat
# ter duty very plainly and faithfully en-
% forced, recently, by a beloved, devoted and
;s faithful brother. We since learn that he
had lately been admonished by brothe
in the church under his pastoral care, 70
~ the plainness Of his preaching. Know
~ ing the sweetness and affectionateness O
nj our brothers manner, it is painful an,
1e grievous to hear OF his meeting with sucI
ir encouragement and hindrance from thos
ct who ought to stand by him to the last
rs Let the complaining brother-who by tn
Sc way was afraid lest infdel ears should b
he cut off and scoffels offended, and perhap
n, lest ministerial support should thereby b
re lost-compare the plainness of his minis
nd ter's preaching with that Of cur Savio
- and his apostles.
~ Whoever returns a paper with
- view to its discontinuance, should, in CO,
at necton with his own name write distinct
re- that of the post Office where the paper hi
es been received. 81. Perry" has returned n
or, of VOL 9. On searching for the post o
*: flee 10 which we directed the paper we fin
the name of 81. Perry" occurring twice G
es. one page of our mail book, and at differel
office. How many more times it Occur
er- in the course of our list we know not
nd Now how shall we ascertain which Of th
orr two has returned his paper? There al
