TO the Public.

The rights Of editors and publishers of papers
have been too long neglected. Justice Will never
be done unless themselves assert their rights
and enforce the most rigid rules, which in the
end will be found alike salutary to the public and
beneficial to those engaged in the press. Pub
fishers of papers have been so long imposed upon
by the community at large, that they are consld-
cred to some extent a degraded class OF beings,
when in fact there is vocation in life so honor
able, deserving of so high consideration, prodnc-
tive of so much good class that exerts so power
full an influence. 1t is known to be proverblal tor
the debtors to newspaper publishers to consider
their demands as the last to be paid debts to
which there is attached no moral obligation, and
which they can refuse to pay with justice and
honor: hence, it is incumbent upon the conduc-
tors of the press to assert their own rights, and
resolve severaly and jointly, to bring all patrons
of newspapers under the same obligations that at
tach to other contracts, or always remain in pow
erty and want, with thousands due them from the
most solvent men in the country.
We call upon all editors and publishers of pa
pers who approve of the following rules TO endorse
Them by their signatures them at the head
of their papers, and strictly adhere to them.
LIST. No subscription received without payment
in GduGHce.
Cd No subscription received for less than six
months.
Sd Advance payment will be required from
all transient advertisers.
9TH. To announce no man for any office, either
State or County, without the advance payment of
5th. Political circulars charged as advertise

9th All advertisements of personal alterca<
ton will be charged double and payment requir-
ed IA Advance.
7th. Election tickets will not be printed with
out order, nor delivered to any person without
payment.
9th. All subscribers, without respect to persons
who are delinquents, on the first of OctoberS will
be stricken from the list, and their accounts put

A PRECIOUS CONFESSION.

The Globe makes confession to be remem
bered. In an article admitting that the defalca'
tons of the officers of the government have pro
duced great effect upon public opinion through
out Virginia, that journal has this remarkable
sentence.
"Were 1t not for the frauds and peculations, The
ded.'
good reason truly why the Wing party
should not he disbanded! To prevent "frauds
and regulations by u corrupt administration, the
Wings will struggle manfulIy until they have
driven the plunderers from power. And no.
bly, will they he sustained in the patriotic I'M
dertakng by the honest yeomanry of the coun-
fry! What sad confession the globe has made!
We have always charged it upon the loco focos
that their only object in maintaining their ascen-
dency was to rob the people, and now the
Globe confirms IL. "nTSs.re it not fer frauds and
