5 TO THE PUBLIC.
The rights of editors and publishers of
papers have been too long neglected. JUS
tlce will never be done unless themselves
assert their rights and enforce the most rigid
rules, which in the end will be found alike
Asalutary to the public and beneficial to those
! engaged in the press. Publishers of papers
have been SO long imposed upon By the COM
munity at large, that they are considered to
Some extent degraded class of beings,
when in fact there is no vocation in life so
honorable, deserving Of SO high considera-
lion, productive of SO much good, class
that exerts so powerful ON influence. 1t is
known to be proverbial for the debtors to
newspaper publishers to consider their de-
mands as the last to be paid-debts 10 which
there is attached no moral obligation and
which they can refuse to pay with justice
and honor: hence it is incumbet theon the
conductors of the press to assert their own
rights and resolve, severally and jointly, to
bring all patrons of newspapers under the
same obligations that attach to other con-
tracts, or always remain in poverty and
want, with thousands due them from the
smoA 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-place
them at the head of their papers and strictly
adhere to them.
LIST. No subscription received without
payment in adrance.
: end. No subscription received for less
than six months.
3rd. Advance payment will be required
from all transient advertisers.
18th. To announce no man for any office,

9Th. Political circulars charged as adver-
tisements, and payment IN 0drdnce.

recreation will be charged double, and pay
