TO NATIVE. AMERICANS IN THIS CITY

The anticipated change of propretors. and
The proposed alterations which we intend ma
king in he paper, will be a very considerable
expense to US, while the price to subscribers VIII
not in the least be altered. To help us to meet
these expenses, we hope orr city readers Will
lend he ping hand. We do not ~ant cent in
the way Of contribution, but we want you TO eX-
tend TO us at least a part of your a l. rtisi"g
patronage. OF all the Natives doing business N
this city, we can number but three or tour who give
us their patronage in this way. Advertising is
source of profit to newspaper concern; and
while the Natives of New Orleans are crowding
the columns of their paper with this kind OF good
wiW, the natives of this city are treating Their
print with utter DISQUALIFICATION taking from,
than adding to, its prosperity Are Native Anne
rcans in this city afraid to show bold front in
the cause they are pledged to support! We
should think SO from the fact that the other pa
pers are filed with their advertisements, while
their oavn, W .ich has list equai to any other
in the citY, is left to battle its way as best it can.
We hope this hint will be Observation-Disclosures
our attention mus, be turned to other sources ard
and other quarters for that which is due us here. If
our city subscribers will support US, the columns
which are filled with matter for their benefit,
must be devoted to that which will interest those
who do support us elsewhere. We say, en-
phatcally, we cannot ,oork for nothing and fnd
ouyselpes, We therefore trust our friends will
think seriously on this matter, and act accord,
ingly.
N. B. The columns which have heretofore
been devoted to Colonization matter, (which has
given so much offence to many Of our readers,
will hereafter br devoted to miscellaneous family
reading matter We hope, also, this change
will enl;tle US to an increased patronage.
