The rights of editors and pub ishers of papers hav
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
saiuiay 10 the public and beneficial to those engaged
IN the press. Publishers of papers have been SO long
imposed upon the community large, that they are
considered to some extent degraded class of beings
when Ia fact there vocation in life so honorable
deserving of SO high consideration productive of so
much good, class that exerts powerful an infu-
ece 1t known to be proverbia for the debtors to
newspaper publishers 20 consider their demands as
the last to be pad-debts to which there is attached
no moral obligation, and which they can refuse to
pay with justice and honor: hence 1t is incumbent
upon the contractors of the press to assert their
rights and resolve severally and jointly to bring all
patrons Of newspapers under some obligations that
attach TO other contracts always remain 10 poverty
and want, with thou ands due them from the most
solvent men in the country,
We call upon all EDITORS and publishers of papers
who approve OF the following rules, to endorse them
by their signatures-pIace them at the head of their
papers, and strictly adhere to them.
lst. No subscription recei, ed without payment in
Advance.
I'd. No subscription received for less than six
months.
Sd. Advance paymsnt will be required from all
transient advertisers

State or County, without the Advance payment OF ten

5th Political circulars charged as advertisements
and payment required IN Advance
9Th. All advertisements of personal alteration
will be charged double and payment required in adj
UGnce.
til. Election tickets will not be printed without
order, nor delivered TO any person without payment.
The above rules, we, the undersigned, pledge our
selves to abide by.

From The Clinton (La.) Democrat.

We are informed that melancholy suicide
ook place at Bayou Sara, in the parish OF
Nest Feliciana, on the morning OF the lUth
instant. Rumor, as usual in such cases, has
.ss;rned many causes as to the why's and
rpberefores. that led to the committal OF the
act. among which we find the following and
me most probabe:-A lad named David Ste
wart, aged about ls, and employed IN the
office of the Chronicle, had, among others,
been invited to attend party day or two
n,ryous to the above late. His lady love,
a also his rival, were present, and he con-
ceived himself not only sighted by the one
hut insulted by the other. This affected his
sensibility; the green.eyed monster common
cpd gnawing his too susceptible heart; and,
as no satisfaction could be obtained from the
aporessors, he determined, rather than bear
;he pangs of unrequitted love, to put an end
to his own life. For this purpose he repaired
as usual to the Office, and intimated that it
was his intention to leave; and when ques
toned az to his destination, the report of a
pistol answered, and the unfortunate youth
fell lifeless on the fleor-having shot himself
through the hearti
Stewart, some months since, had been EN-.
ploved in our establishments which time
he appeared free from every vice. Industri.
Gus in his habits, and manly in his deport.
ment, he had endeared himself to all within
the shere of his acquaintance; and it is truly
painfnl to record so melancholy an event,
PARTICULARLY when it refers to one who had
lived with and been beloved by US. To ina
CINE the feelings of his fond parents, when
the awful fact is made known to them, is i'm.
possible. We may offer sympathy to their
agonized hearts, but it will be of no avail
"the mourners cannot be CONFERENCE.-The
gush ng teas of a bereaved and distracted
mother will not soon be dried, and the recol-
lee ion of her sons rash act will be indelibly
stamped on her mind.

Our last communication respecting the cotton mar
ket was under date ofthe 10Th instant by the British
Queen-and towards the close Of that day still lower
prices were accepted, IN instances I'd below the
rates OF the morning. On the 18th instant though
more buyers appeared the pressure from some quarters
to sell was such as to force down prices nearly ID
more, and the gloom was extreme.
On the following morning, however. the market as
s,rned more iirmness. The consumers commenced,
nd have SINE continued 10 buy more freely. There
has been some export demand, as well as some little
specuatio. and this last decline has been recovered

VAR AGAINST "OLD WILKINSON" NOT
YET Defamation an article in the
Natchez Daily Courier Of Wednesday, ad.
dressed to the editor of the Woodville Re-
publican, in which the warlike editor of the
Courier say of his editorial brother at Wiki
inson-''he had better be quiet OF ne may
hear "Old Saratoga" discourse thunder In
his ears one of these days." one, not &C.
ouanted with the source from which such a
threat emanated, might really suppose that
Natchez had declared war agains Wilkinson
county. But we assure the public that no
such thing has been done or intended.
If Natchez have right to peice Of artil-
lerv which it is reported was so little cared
about in Woodvllle as to have been for years
used as a corner post of street, and now has
no better bed than the bare earth to lie upon,

ant peaceful means of showing the same to
the honorable and high-minded citizens OF
Woodyille. We believe such means are in
progress. and the whole history of the can
non. from its youth up, will come to light.
With all our partiality for Wilkinson county,
and regard to her just rights-we still think
the following sBeer of the edition of the Re-
publican both uncalled for and invidueus:-
1" are sorry our Natchez friends put them
selves to the trouble of sending for our field

be verv potent, but we had scarcely thought
