We have frequently heard it said that the
great leader of Sub Treasuryism in Pen
''sylvania, Charles Ingersol, was at heart a
Tory of the old school, but not until lately,
have we ssen the evidence of this assertion.
To those who do not know Mr. Ingersol we
will remark that he is one of the first Sub
Treasury Van Buren,. men in the north.
The whole party in Congress have been
trying to get him into the House of Rep
resentatives because he was a Candidate
and was beaten by Mr.. Nailor.

10 the Public.

The rights Of editors and publishers of papers
have 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 saluary to the public and
beneficial to those engaged in the press. Pub
fishers of papers have been so long imposed upon
by the community at large, that they are consld-
cred to some extent a degraded class of beings,
when in fact there is vocation in life so honor
able. deserving of so high consideration, produce
tive of so much good, class that exers SO power
full an influence. 1t is known to be pToverbal for
the debtors to newspaper publishers to consider
their demands as the last to be paid debts TO
which there is attacked 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 severaly and jointly, to bring all patrons
OF newspapers under the same obligations that at
zach to other contracts, or always remain In pow
crty.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 bv their signatures-pace them at the head
Of their papers, and strictly adhere to them
lst. No subscription received without payment
IN edraace.
ID. No subscription received for less than six
menths.
81. Advance payment will be required from
all transient advertisers.
4th. To announce no man for any office, either
