THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. s.
New York Election.


r#R'i1Fl I" New York Election.
a"a We learn, that news was received by Telegraph
7 last evening from New York, that Mr., Wright had
left the city with 5000 majority, that the Democrats
had elected the four members of Congress, and that
IN the interior as far as Buffalo the Wings had gained
on the last Gubernatoral vote. m
\ or The changes and improvements now being
made in our paper seem to be regarded with favor
by the community. This we are pleased to see, for
surely it is high time we should realize support and
encouragement from those we have earnestly
served, and whose interests we have SO constantly
endeavored to promote. tll a' GatHa W
Let it be remembered, that IL IS indispensable
tothe continuance ofthis paper that it receipe an
adequate support. The principal proprietor has ex-
pended all he is able willing to eKpend in the en-
tcrprise, and henceforth every individual employed
in the establishment either in editing publishing,
must be sustained out Of the proceeds of subscrip
tions and advertisements to the. paper and other
I work in the Office. ...., ~
Our Weekly is gaining quite large circulation,
and even the Daily has had considerable increase
recently This isencouragng, and prompts as to
renewed exer,ion in behalf Of our enterprise.
Advertising custom is now principally needed, and
if we get such an additional number of regular ad-
vertisemsnts we expect to receive, the Fountain
will be permanently established. And we may here
say to advertisers we pledge ourselves to devote par
ticuar attention TO their avors, placing every adver-
tisement in such position in the paper as to attract
the observation ofevery reader. 2.iGtstt.
Il Some think we are now desirous to MAKE MONEY
by this enterprize We would ask such if there is
any impropriety in our striving to make the paper
sustain itself, after we have given all we able to
sustain il ourselves tits frankly confessed that un-
less we do in future make enough to carry on the
publication there is no other hope of its being con-
{ tinued. TO use cant phrase, say, we neither
can nor viii much longer work for nothing and find
ourselves and pay others also for labonng in mat
ter which as much concerns every citizen as it does
ourselves We consider the enterprise one for pub
olc beneft to establish it we felt perfectly willing
but now that il is established and every facility for
carving il on to advantage gained to it, look to
the people to sustanit il. More than this
Bile man could ask of u.s. IL IN '"t 8..l
. Our subscription price is so cheap that none can
complain ofi and the very reason Of our making it
thus cheap is, that the circulation may be general
and that the advertisements of the public may be
given to every family in this and the adjoining
cities.
" II would really seem from present and recent in
dications that citizens not only see that they
sght to support us, but also that they are resolved
to DO 1T. In conversing with several gentlemen
who have already rendered us great assistance by
advertising in our columns, we were pleased to hear
them say, they will do more than to help us on;
and some who hitherto had advertised little none,
have pledged themselves henceforth TO give us their
patronage This should be matter Of rejoicing to
all the lovers Of our common interests citizens of
this Metropolis. m ,a ulinha.H
How important is it that an Independent daily
penny paper conducted upon inoralprnciples, should
be sustained at the scat Of our national government,
where SO powerful an influence may be exerted, not
only through public from all parts of the Union
who are almost constantly coming to and departing
from our city, but also upon those who may take
the paper abroad. Already our Weekly paper lcar-
RES news TO every ota'e IN the Union and the Dai-
ly also is sent out every morning TO the most remote
parts Of the republic Aa& af' ,tt.A+
Itis true that we have other excellent papers in
the city, but ours does not at all interfere with them;
indeed, we can with sincerity say we cordially desire
their prosperity as well as our own.
In view Of enlarging our next volume, we intend
to employ suitable persons to visit the citizens Of
Washington Georgetown, Alexandria, &c. to secur,
the names Of such persons as may desire to become
permanent subscribers and regular advertisers for h
Fountain. We trust these messengers will be re
csived with welcome and encouragement, and tha
we shall be enabled TO enter upon the new volum
with certainty Of adequate support .df h..t
All who feel willing will please pay their year
