To the Public.

The rights of editors and publishers Of papers
have been too long neglected Justice will never
be done unless themselves assert their righls
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. ppb-
fishers of papers have been so long imposed upon
by the community at large, that they are eonsid-
cred to some extent a degraded class Of beiHds,
when in fact there is vocation in life so hon0r-
able, deserving of so high consideration, pEodne-
tive ofso much good, class that exerts powers
full an influence. 1t is known to be proverbial for
the debtors to newspaper publishers to consider
their demands as the last to be paid--debts to
which there is attached no moral obligation, and
which they can refuse to pay with Justice and
honor: hence, it is incumbent upon the conduc-
tors of the press to assert their own rights, and
resolve, severay and jointly, bring all patrons
of newspapers under the same obligations that
taeh to other contracts, or always remain in pow
erty and want, with thousands due them from the
most solvent men in the country.
We call upon all editors and publishers of pa
pers who approve of the following rules, to endorse
them by their signatures-plaee them at the head
Of their papers, and strictly adhere to them.
