The operations in produce have been
light during the week past. The river is
low and clear of ice. The packets, Edw'd
Bates and Lucy Bertram are said to have
left the trade. Freights have an upward
tendency. Trade is chiefly confined to
wheat and pork. There is nothing doing
in hemp. Tobacco arrives in small lots
without alteration in prices. Wheat was
dull and sinking until the last of the week,
when it became firmer at previous rates
there is, perhaps, slight advance on strict
ly prime. The regular winter business in
pork has hardly set in. A few lots have
arrived, and may be quoted at $2to 50 rs

THE NEWSPAPER,

How eadiess is the variety of newspa.
uer readers, and how hard it is to satisf,
their wants. A. believes that he shall dis.
continue his paper, because it contains ns
political newsstand B. is decidedly of opin.
ion that the same sheet dabbles too freely
in the political movements of the day. c,
does not take it because it is all on one side
and D. whose opinion it generally ex-
presses, does not like it because it is not Sc
we're enough on the opposition. E. thinks
it does not pay due attention to fasllinna-
bic literature--and he cannot bear the film
Iys notions of idle writers. G. willnot suf-
fer a;paper TO lie upon his table which ven-
,dres an opinion upon temperance-an and H.
never r~atrouizes one which lacks moral
courage to expose. the evils of the day. /.
declares he does no! want a paper filled
with the hodge podge proceedings of Con.
gress and ahe Legisiature-and J. consid-
ers that paper the best which, gives the
greatest quantity of such reading. X. pat.
r~onizes papers for the light and lovely read
ing which they contain-and J.. wonders
that the press does not publish sermons and
such sssolid matter" Nj. will not re ad a
paper that does not expose the evils of sec
tarianism-and N. is decidedly of opinion
that the pulpit and not the press should med
die with religious dogmas. D. likes To read
police reporus-and p, whose appetite is
less morbid, would not have a paper in
which those silly reports are printed, in his
house. @ likes anecdotes-and Il. will
not take paper that publishes them. He
says that murders and accidents ought not
10 be put in papers--and S. complains that
his miserable paper gives no account of
the highway robbery of last week. Z. says
the type is too small and U. thinks it too
large. V. stops his paper because it con.
tains nothing but observation-disclosures all
that ". wants Of i; is to see what is for
sale: Y. will not take the paper unless il
is left at his door before sunrise-and Y!
will not pay for it if left SO early as to be
stolen before he is mp. And last of all comes
the complaints of some Of the ladies [d"ar
creatures! who declare the paper uninter-
esting, because it does not contain a long
list of marriages, Just as if il were possible
for printers to marry people without their
consent.
Thus the printer who ventures 10 THINK

d haze an Opini0n If his urn, must loose
patronage from A--and if he does mott

opinions, he is set down as a stupid Ounce,

Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1848-01-06
An Appeal.

Of this number-the first in the new volume-we
have struck off an additional quantity, for the purpose
of supplying the demands of new subscribers. But as
yet comparatively nothing has been done to secure the
advantage of our reduced TERMS in extending the cir
cuation of tie Freenun. In this we are greatly dis
apponted.-We had supposed that the friends of our
cause in every town in the State would promptly and
energetcaly second the efforts which we were max.
ing, at great personal sacrifice, to place Liberty
journal in the hands of every family in the State AZ
ter mature deberation the conclusion was finally form
ed, that in no way could little labor and expense be
turned to so good account in the iurherance of our
cause, as in securing largely extended circulation to
our regular weekly Liberty papers. Hence the mater-
al reduction IN our terms to the greatest obsta-
Gle IN the way Of procuring new subscribers. But
should the friends generally refuse or neglect to CO.
operate with us IN this enterprise, then will our sa-
cri6ce have been made in vain, and without CORE
spending benefit to the cause But we are fully salts
fed that this need not be the result and trust it will
not From the experience of one or two individuals,
we are assured that any one by devotng two hours
time to the work. may procure five, ten or TWEEN
ty new readers to the Freeman and thus bring light
and truth to bear upon the minds of and humid
reds whose hearts have never hobbed for the crushed
slave. o. Have we single subscriber who, in read
ing and rejecting upon this natter will hesitate to
devote this moty of lime TO the above named work? IN
If so, we earnestly advise him to 'examine his hope"
that he has been baptized in the great fountains of be-
nevoence and philanthropy without which he is as to-
tally unfit rank among the friends of the oppressed
as was Judas to labor for the redemption of the world
This work must be dOne the friends in the several
towns must IT, and NOW is the time for its accom-
pIishment. The long winter evenings are upon US
the time for reading reflection, and preparation for
ton day lost now in the prosecution of our cause
cannot be made up by three hard days labor in the
busy season of Spring Summer, especially with the
prosIavery political furnaces heated seven times hotter
than the one of old, may expect them to be the
coming season.
We wish that every District would emulate the ex-
ample of the Third whose efficient committee imme-
diately after their convention cast about for active a.
gents whom they might employ in cauvassng the dis
tct to obtain new subscribers to the Liberty papers.
p s. A letter has Just to hand, from which we
learn that working friend of the cause has visited
nearly one half of his county, stirred up the people, and
secured the services of active men to canvass each
town and secure he circulation of the paper. This is
cheering example, and worthy of being extensively
followed.
