in some other nations steady and indus

To Our Advertising Patrons.

II will be seen by reference to our terms OF
advertising, &C., which we have this week
placed on the inside Of our paper, thinking
thereby they would be more generally read,
that we have made som important alterations
and additions to them. This we found to-
be actually necessary to insure US that remu-
neration for our materials and labor, without
which il is impossible to work for commu-
nifty. Years of experience have at length
taught US the futility of relying upon the
promises of many for whom we advertise,
and no matter how good the promise OF
some men may be of future payment, the
ready money is at all times better. Adver-
tisements relative to law transactions have
caused US much trouble heretofore in collect
ing the money due to us for their publication
long after the period it had been promised to
have been paid, and in numerous instances
such promises have not, as yet, been fulfilled,
and far too many of them, we fear, neUeT
sOiI be. Under these circumstances, we are
compelled to adopt such measures and en-
force such terms as will insure US payment
for our toll, time and necessary materials for
the prosecution of our business. The terms
as now set forth will be strictly adhered to,
under all circumstances, and without dis
tinctiOn Of persons; so that we may not give
offence to one party by unjustly favOring an
other. To each practising attorney in our
county, we send a paper of to-day, from
which we request him TO clip our TERMS, -
and keep them in his Office as he would a
Counting House Almanac, that he may read
ily refer any one of his clients to them, who
may be compelled through him to advertise,
by which means such client cannot fail to
comprehend the conditions under which such
advertisement will receive the necessary
publication. This method Of proceeding with
adverisements relative 70 lawsuits, we be-
hsvey could not fail of being beneficial TO the
client, the attorney and the printer alike. In
