| TO THE SUBSCRIBERS TO THE wHIC,
The last Enquirer has made an appeal to il,
subscribers, part Of which we beg to adopt and
present 10 you. Many Of You may consider IS OF
$40, sum so small to be Of no conseo uence 70
Us. nut TINS Is great mistake: Il is true, that q
sontary or 10 dollar note would avail US but little:
put II every subscriber would pay his s5, il would
put us at ease. The !ot Of Editors is in some ro-
spects hard one. All their expenses are cash and
IN large sums whilst their receipts are in detail and
they give credit for every thing. This ought TO be
reformed. Ii is in their own power TO do so-bv
adopting the cash system;-but this might seem
marsh, and would certainly be unpleasant. Their
patrons, however, can reform t-without inconye.
nlence to themselves, and to the infinite qualification
oil those, who toll for their instruction and amuss
ment, by day and by night. Let our subscriber,
take this matter into serious consideration. and
forthwith, without waiting for the Collector, remi,
US all arrearages. Ii will make easy and pleasant.
the irksome abours of editorial life, and put new
song OF JOY into. our mouths.
II the appeal Of the Enquirer to the defeated
fse''on to sustain 1t, to enable it to prosecute il,
envenomed and ruthless warfare agans, our Repu-
6lican Administration, be heeded--ought i, not tn
be equally imperative upon the Wings, to cheer and
animate press. which from its foundation has relied
upon the teoplctor support, and which is devoted,
heart and SOUL TO the advocacy OF those wise ,mea-
'ures and just principles, which we all believe es
senual to the prosperity of the country and the
preservation of the public ibertyl
