In the Political Examiner, which some.
what surprised us by its Temperance
the frs: Of last week. an offer is made by
the editor to advertise the Sheriff. sales
free Of charge; and sympathy with the
debtor is given as his motive. Under
penalty of losing the fees for publishing
Sheritf's sales, we should continue TO
charge moderate fees. We desire TO be
just before we are generous; and good
faith towards all with whom we deal "a.
quires that we should neither advertise for
nothing nor give our paper to subsc riberS
without a reasonable return. We have not
solicited the Sheriff's advertising. He
doubtless finds it more convenient and
consistent with the requirements Of law,
to advertise in regular newspaper than
in an irregular publication that is issued at
intervals of two or three weeks. Within
the last ten weeks, bu. four Examiners
have been published Of which we have
any knowledge, dated, respectively, No.
Vcmber l, November 26, December Id,
and December 81. Had the Sheriff id.
vertised, in that paper, property to be
sold at any time within two months past,
he could not have proceeded with the
sale, but would have been under the ne.
cessity of postponing it and advertising in
a regular paper four weeks before sale.
