Il IS somelimes made a matter Of surprises
among OUT friends, that a JOB Of printing is
HIGHER priced here than in New Orleansi and
with som merchants il is a practice to GEL
cards and circulars done at that city, or at an
eastern city, to save a little. Now let US see
thc thing works. And frs, in answer to
the question" Why can't printers " tk be
done as cheap here as in New orleans2 Rents
are lower, and boarding is cheaper; why, then,
is printing higher?' We reply, forIwo roGsJ nj :
one, that we cannot get a tenth enough o.
work TO a.; and, second, that much Of our
work is done on a credit, We must charge
two or three dollars for printing a pack OF
cards, while they can do it for one dollar ana
fifty cenis4 and yet they make more Pfoht on
the lob than we do. An establishment in
New Orleans, having so much to do, can afford
to buy card presses which turn out a thousand
an hour: lille in Mississippi, with a few jobs
that come in from our liberal merchants and
professional men, we cannot aft I'd anything
but the ordinary press. What then-ought
our merchants to send their jobs to New Or
%leansl let US look into the thing and See how
it would wo;k.
We paid six dollars for our last hat. 1t can
be bought Cor a better one in Philadelphia for
four dollars. Shall we send 10 Philadelphia for
our next ore? The coat we have at home
our Sunday-gO.to-meeting one-cost, in jack
son, thirty dollars, as good a one, in New
Yorkspc can be afforded for twenty dollars. Shall
we patronize New York hereafter? Qnihine,
here, is at fvo dollars and fifty cents, but in
Boston, four dollars and twenty-five Cenlsi
shall we chatter with the Ogue until we send
TO Boston for a bottle?
These. remarks could be extended to EN-.
brace every @object that is worms eaten, or
drank ;-all OF these conld be bought at dis
counts varying from twenty to fifty per cent;
and these great profits we pay (and pay cheer
fully, too,) that business enterprises may be
sustained at home. How unjust, then, 10 hear
the newly -Gedged merchant just got back
from buying gOodsA-tell about how cheap
printing is in New York, and that he can't
patronize Mississippi printers-they're so dea'!
Heaven bless the mark! What would become
Of the little imitation Of a merchant, if we all
followed his example? Guess he'd have to
go back to his daddy's cotton patch, with a flea
in his ear!
Don't let US hear any more, then, about
printers prices, for goodness sakei but show
US a live printer who has made mOney-as
much money as the same capital and energy
would have made in other Business-and we'll
print you three packs Of cards free gratis for
nothing.

SLAvERY-AN HoNEsr CoNFEssloN.-The Lon
don times, Of the 18th of Sept. in an article of
marked ability on slavery in America, makes
the following frank confession:
"The will Of the people of England and
the resources Of the British nation, have been
applied with absolute authority and ungrudg-
ing muni6cence to the extinction of slavery in
the British dominions. The northern States
Of America have no such power Of altering
the institutions and the tenures Of property
in the slaveholding States Of the Union; Con.

that the only additional strength which the

The whole AL, lilion party has turned in to
aid them. Counties like Seneca and Allegha'
