mite in the published terms of the Tele-
graph, was so when it came into our
hands, but shall not remain SO after the
present volume. 1t is to be regretted that
it was not made plain when we commence
ed. 1t was left in the original words, lest
we should be thought to have done what
we had not done and did not design to do.
1t was not designed to alter the published 4.
terms; but it was designed to live up to
them if possible, and to require others to
do so-else why have any specific terms
at all?
On looking over the article which has
stood at the head ofthe first column in the
paper for years, it has lately occurred to
US that there is something altogether
vague and at loose ends in the very first
paragraph. What is due from the sub
scribcr who pays at the end of the 9th or
9th month ofthe volume ? is the question
No tortur'ng can make the paragraph
speak in the case The e'statute" being ST.
lent, printers being without common law
and the former habits and customs of the
whole Telegraph concern being against
us, we are resolved on this u That
those noao l~de6ted for the present rolume,
ncbo aciH pay IN tie month Of July, qojthout

the first paragraph. Asto companies, they
shall be discharged on the present rolume,

ScrRRlLous.-We copy the following

"a man, in another column. The Boston Re
D. cOrder asks:
y Does not justice require that the name Of

We think not. According to the princi

Indeed the word Baptist and its cognate
should be banished from their vocabulary
