AN APPEAL.

We find it absolutely necessary to call
upon our friends to assist lis. Our pres.
ent subscription list is altogether too
small to give us the least hope of sustain
ing ourselves in our present enterprise.
Even if every subscriber paid promptly
his subscription, the amount would not
enable us to live. But now, when they
do not pay any thing, scarcely, how can
it be expected that we can get along?-
We ask every man who feels an interest
in the advancement of the principles
which we advocate, to exert himself to
assist us. There is no man who takes
the paper, but who can influence, GER
tainly, one other 10 take it, also. Now
who is there that will not take the triAing
trouble to procure for our paper an addi-
tional subscriber? Only think--tllat would
double our present llst-and how fine
that would be. We believe there arem men
in the county who feel anxious that the
Courier, the only Democratic paper in
this large County, should be accH sustain
ed. If there are such men, we hope to
see the fruits of their exertions. Let
every Democrat, who wishes to see the
principles which he processes, and which
he wishes to see predominant in the coun~
try, reflect but for one moment, of the
advantages to be derived from a free and
extensive circulation of those principles.
Is it not true, that, to insure the ultimate
ascendency of those principles, they must
be widely disseminated? If SO, why not
aid and assist in the work. Let every
one again reflect, that the publishers of
this paper are unable, without assistance,
to carry on the business of publishing
weekly papcr-they are both Young men
with no resources but their own labor,
and consequently look to those for whom
they labor for support. We hope our
friends will bear these, (perhaps iIl-tim-
ed) remarks in mind, and try to assist us
in our need.

AFTER THE MANNER OF THE
"STATESMAN I"

"STATESMAN"
8. Tntimations" have reached US, which
lead US to believe that Auditor Bryan is
in New York, Chief Clerk Doran some"
where else, and sundry persons here from
distance with claims fer large Sums on
the Treasury, who are unable 10 have
the same audited for presentation and
payment. because Of the absence Of the
aforesaid functionaries.
We mention this circumstance, pre-"
suming that the StatcSman, to whom it
hecHtiariy belongs to pry into the outgo-
ngs and imcomings Of the public SER
wants, is unadyised Ct the same.
Postscript Has the Secretary of the
State gone over to Urbana after the Great
Seal? The " Statesman" is surely maps
ping Register.
AS to Mr.. Bryan's absence, we can say
he did leave lerc, few days since, with
his family, for Cleveland, by the Canal.
Mr.. Bryan has had very afflicted child,
for several months past, and he believed
a change Of atmosphere might be benefi"
cial This is all We know about his alb"
sence. He has rot been absent before,
since last faiI--and we deny, positively,
that any business is neglected to be done,
in consequence. Mr.. Doran is in the Of
fee, day and night, and we believe, has
never been out of town, but once for
months, and that was on one day last week.
from ten O'Clock in the morning, until
one =. NJ. three 7vhoie hours. And as
fortune would have it in this time, Pres,
ident of an insolvent Bank called for
TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOL
LARS of the hcohle's money out Of the
stale Treasury, on an order from the Fund
Commissoners--a sort. OF SSa4sE keeh5nS
the next Legislature should look into!--
His nobiity-ship had to wait until he
got his dinner, and forsooth, the Bank
tool had :"Res ister" i,in his daily and
hence we have told the whole secret.
Now, as to Mr.. Harlan, we can say,
with much propriety. if he has not gone
to Urbana after the "Seal of State" he
ought 10 have done SO, long since, as he
can perform but few of his duties here, in
the absence of the GOVERNOR who,
to show his total rec ecklessness OF character
or common sense, was no sooner sworn
into office. than he .stalked into the Sec~
retary Of States Office, and carried off the
seal, where it hadbecn deposited and used,
since the formation Of the Governme
under all and every administration--and
it is now nearly one person's business in
apo!ogsing and answering letters asking
why business cannot be done promptly as
heretofore. But as they are common
people, and not Bank Presidents, the truth
-teling organ Of the Governor is silent;
SILENT as he was when we asked him
a few weeks since 10 explain false and
lbeIous insnuaton about the use of the
same seat.
And we now return our thanks TO the
Register for giving us a pre,eXt for tell.
