mr. Editor-As aai s4- Ci,; ZEN nav nav ask
Through the medium, ef vonr uanerl Of orr
worthy ana honorable mayor and selectmen,
as well as OF the other municipal officers,
magistrates and constables, whether there
is no law Tor the suppression of firing pistols,
blunderbusses, &c, at all times of day and
night in the streets, out Of the doors and
windows OF stores and other buildings2 And
] would also most respectfully ask why it is
that our good citizens are disturbed in their
sleep BY the lncessant beating of drums and
tamborines2 One would think that we we're
in an armed encampment, so great is the
ihumPing' drumming and STUNNING? 2.

TO the Public.

The rights Of editors and publishers of papen
ave been too long neglected. Justice will ReVe
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 large1 that they are consid-
cred to some extent degraded class OF beings,
when in fact there is vocation in life 80 honor
able, deserving of so high consideration, produce
tive of so much good, class that exeTts power
full an influence. 1t is known to be proyerbial for
| the debtors to newspaper publishers to consider
| their demands as the last TO be paid--debts 70
which there is attacked no moral obligation, and
which they can refuse to pay with justice and
honor: hences it is incum bent upon the conduc-
tors of the press to assert their own rights, and
resolve, severally and Jointly, to bring all patrons
of newspapers under the same obligations that at
iach to other contracts, or always remain in pow
| erty and want, with thousands due themfrom the
most solvent men in the country.
we cali upon all editors and publishers Of pa
pers who approve of the following rules, toendorse
them BY their signatures --place them at the head
Of their papers, and strictly adhere to them.
LIST. No subscription received without payment
IN advance.
ed. No subscription received for less than six
months.
Sd. Advance payment viii be required from
all transient advertisers.
4th. To announce no man for any Office, either
State or County, without the ndpaace payment Of
ten dollars.
5th. Political circulars charged as advertise.
ments and payment required IN GdUaslce.
9th. All advertisements OF personal alterea-
ton will be charged double and payment requir-
ed Ia Advance.
7th. Election tickets will not be printed with

EATINe SNUFF WITH STICKS. Every pa

with complaints against the ladies for eating
snuff with sticks We would not, absolute
", live among society where the ladies eat
snuff We have no objection to see snuff
box in the .reticule of an old grandmother,
but for young misses and wives to eat snuff
is highly indiscreet and Objectionable. The
