T0THE PUBLIC.
The rights Of ediiprs and publishers of
aapers have been too Tong neglected. Jus
tice will never be done &nless themselves
assert their rights and enforce the most rigid
rules, which in the end will Sbe found ailke
saIutary to the public and behetlclal 70 those
engaged in the press. Publishers OF papers
have been SO long imposed ppon by the com
munity at large, thatthey are considered to-
some extent degraded class of beings,
when in fact there is no vocation m lie SO
honorable, deserving of SO high considera-
ton. productive of so much good, q class
that exe.ts so powerful an influence. 1t is
known to be proverbial for the debtors to
newspaper publishers to consider their de-
u,ands as the last to be paid-dehts TO which
there is attached no moral obligation and
which they can refuse topay with lustlee
ard honor: hence it is incumbct thcon the
conductors of the press to asset their own
rights and resolve, severaHy 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
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-place
them ut the head of their papers and strictly
adhere to them.
1st. No subscriptions received without
payment IN adrancc.
2ud. No subscription received for less
than six months.
3rd. Advance payment will be required

5fh. Political circulars charged as adver-

9th. All advertisements Of a personal al
tercation will be charged double, and pay
Trent required in advance.
7th. Election tickets will not bo printed
