THE WAY TO DO IT.

The following is an effectual receipt to
accomplish the work to which it alludes:
THE WAY TO BREAK DOWN A
PRESS.-It has been justly said that an
independent press rests on frmer basis
for support than one of a contrary char
acter, and it has been supposed difficult
to break down such press. There is
way is which it can be done, however.
And how does the reader think this work
can be accomplished? By the telling of
all sorts of lies concerning it and its edi-
tor? No. By threats? No. By getting
a hireling for the especial purpose Of wri-
ting it down? No. BY the misconduct of
unprlncipled political postmasters? No,
reader; but this is the secret: let a large
number of its subscribers conclude that
because the business is good, the editor is
not in want Of the little sums they owe;
let its friends habitually delay the fulfil
ment of their promises and contracts with
the editor, and the most prosperous estab-
lshment in the world must come down
at last.

EXTRAORDINARY LAW Casa per.
son of some standing in this CITY as a
merchant, in the general bankruptcy OF
1896, lost the whole of his property, but
since then, by collecting what was due
from his debtors and by the assistance of
his friends, had again commenced bust.
ness under favorable auspices. One of
his creditors, his own brother-in-la,o,
who is man of great wealth, demanded
pay ment of large sum of money, which
ne had loaned him, or rather entrusted to
him to be expended in joint speculation
but the speculation not proving success
ful, he now insisted on the return of the
whole amount. A suit at law brough,
the matter to judgment, and the Court OF
Chancery was invoked to extend its pow
erful arm to reach that which the mercy
of the law spared to him. A creditors
bill was iled--the wealth of the prosecu-
tor gave CELEBRITY to the laws delay-and
in short time, the poor debtor was com.
PEELED, under the pains and penalties Of
perjury, to make discovery of his proper
ty: He had converted the whole of it into
cash, and had the same in his hand to
a large amount when the question was
put by the solicitor before the examining
master. "There it is, my all, in that sim
gle bill, and rather than my own brother
shall wiring it from me- and approaching
the fireplace, he continued, l commit ii
to the fames-yes, though it were my
own hearts blood, l would dash it to ir-
retrievable destruction. The creditor, who
came to triumph over the discovery Of his
debtors property, saw the integrity ofhis
brothers oath preserved, and the pelf
which had urged him so far against him,
scattered to the winds Of heaven. This
certainly was an unwise, but we almost
think just retribution. When we heard
this detailed, we thought that this matter
would end here, and that the poor debtor,
freed from the hands Of the law, and the
cruel creditor. left to the further enjoy
ment of paying long bill Of costs. But
who, having entered, hath seen the end
of lawsuit! 1t was otherwise. The
lawyers now raise the question, whether
the bank is not liable to the creditor, and
the debtor be made competent witness
to prove the amount of the bill. They
still, to crafty the melevolence of their
client, raise another question, whether the
debtor is not indictabe under the statute
for destroying the bills as the property of
the bank, and only held by the party as
tokens of Indebtedness. Thus we expect
thousand questions more to arise. We
think, however. of short way of deter
mining the matter. If this poor man
shall continue to be harrassed, to give the
names, circumstances, and character of the
parties, counsel, and all, conspicuous
position in this peculiar case.

George e. Badger.

As the nomination of this gentleman to
The Cabinet, as Secretary of the Navy,
has directed enquiry TO his history, quail
icaticns and talents for the station, we
extract from communication in the Ma
ional Intelligencer the following, which
will be found acceptable:
"He is native of Newbern, in North
Carolina. His father died poor when he
was small boy. He possessed fine tall
en,s, and his friends aided him in acquir-
ing an education. He obtained license
10 practice the law before he was d years
Old. His vigorous and discriminative
intellect Immediately gave him high
rank in the community. He was at an
eafy age, elected Member of the Legis-
lure of North Carolina, but his limited
circumstances compelled him at once to
bandon politics, because he was poor,
and had widowed mother and two sis
srs to support. He devoted himself to
The profession Of the law, and acquired a
large and lucrative practice. The Legis-
AZURE, when he was yet a very young
man, elected him Judge, and he dis
charged his duties on the bench with
great ability and impartiality, giving en-
lire satisfaction to the profession and the
people. A sense of duty 10 himself, his
mother and sisters, required that he
should not remain on the bench at a small
salary when his splendid talents and ac-
quirements would command the most luc-
lalive practice. He resigned his seat on
he bench, and returned to his practice at
The bar. Mr. Badger is justly regarded as
one of the very ablest lawyers in the Uni
| sdstates. He rarely ever speaks lon
ger than one hour on any subject, and in
hat space of time he will do ample justice
shis client, and often demolish a three
days speech of his adversary. When
mat accomplished scholar and profound
arst, William Castor, was at the bar,
Mr. Badger, though much younger man,

cause in any court in the United States, |
would as soon employ Geo. E. Badger as

en- shore of North Carolina, Governor
hawkins, with large number Of volun-
yer militia, marched quickly to the de-
ence ofthe sea board. In that expedition,

TO THE VOTERS OF LEECOUNTY

The undersigned having been appoint
ed committee to draft an address on
the subject of the approaching county seat
election, proceed to make statement of
facts in relation thereto, as briefly as pos
sible.
In order to provide against the burthen
of taxes which must be levied upon the
people to erect public buildings, the pre-
sident and trustees of the town of Fort
Madison, have passed an ordinance bind
ing themselves to appropriate the sum Of
eight thousand dollars for the erection Of
said buildings, provided the county seat
OF Lee county shall be located at the town
of Fort Madison, which ordinance accom-
panies this address.
| This amount Of money the president
and trustees will be enabled to pay over to
the county commissioners from out of the
fund arising from the sale of lots in said
town, and tax to be raised from the cili-
zens of said town.
The proceeds of the sale Of the lots
will amount to about seven thousand
dollars; and will be paid over in few
weeks to the president and trustees of said
town. Several of the citizens of Fort
Madison have entered into bond, which
is hereunto annexed, binding themselves
to pay over to the county commissioners
the amount agreed to be paid by the pre-
sident and trustees, provided that sufii-
cient sum of money is not in the treasury
of the corporation when the money may
be required by the county commissioners
for the erection of said public buildings.
This course is taken to render the pay
ment of the sum above mentioned more
certain, making assurance doubly sure
The committee deem it unnecessary to
say any thing of the peculiar advantages
of Fort Madison as proper place for the
county seat; but they would simply re-
mark, that the Inconvenience of being
compelled to 60 five, ten, nay twenty
miles, to the county seat, is not to be
compared with the importance of build
ing up town upon navigable stream,
where the farmer will find ready mar
ket for his produce at all seasons of the
wear.

sand dollars, sealed with our seals, and
dated the twenty-second day of February,
A. D. eighteen hundred and forty-one.
The condition of this obligation is such,
that if the president and trustees of the
town of Fort Madison shall pay over to
the county commissioners the sum of
eight thousand dollars, for the erection of
public buildings for said county, (provid-
ed the county seat shall be located at said
town of Fort Madison) whenever the
same may be necessary for the erection
Of said buildings, then this obligation to
be void, otherwise of full force, virtue

TYPE STICKERS.

We casually mentioned day or two
ago that the newly elected Mayor of Bal
timore was short time since journey
man Printer. The instances are not rare
in which those bred to the profession OF
printing, have become distinguished and
honored.
To say nothing of Franklin the beacon
light of the craft, we have in our day seen
more than one instance of this honorable
distinction. Isaac Hill the Governor of
New Hampshire, was journeyman
printer; Samuel t. Armstrong, late May
or of this city was once journeyman
printer; Mr.. Knapp, the Secretary of the
State of Vermont was printer. And
what is of more consequence in the edi-
torial profession, some of the most distin-
guished were regularly bred in the craft.
Our neighbor Green, the popular editor
of the Morning Post, was once a ragged
little roller boy. Mr.. Homer Of the Ga
zette, was brought up on P1cA ana BRE-
v1ER. We recolect many years since of
seeing towheaded, overgrown boy, in
an obscure printing Office in Vermont. :.
That boy is now Mr.. Greedy, the talented
editor of the New Yorker. OF equally
obscure origin was the editor of the New
York Spirit Of the Times, Mr.. William
t. Porter.
'The first we ever saw OF Deacon Weld,
the editor of the New York Sun, and a
clever writer for various magazines, &c.
