Newspaper Patronage.

lhls thing called newspaper patron
age is a curious thing. 1t is composed
of as many colors as rainbow, and is as
changeable as a chameleon. ..
One man snbsclibes for newspaper
and pays for it in advance; he goes home
and readsit the year round with tho proud
satisfaction that it is his own. He hands
in an advertisement and pays for it. This
is isnewspaper patronage.
Another man says, please put my name
on your list of subscribers; and goes off
without as much as having said pay once.
He asks you TO advertise. but he says
nothing about pay for it. Time passes,
your patience is exhausted, and you dun
him. He flies in a passion, perhaps pays
and perhaps not.
Another man has been subscriber a
long time. He becomes tired of you and
wants change.-Thinks he wants an
eastern paper. Tells the Postmaster to
discontinue, and one of his papers is re-
turned to you, marked refused" Pay.
ing up forit is among the last of his
thoughts, besides he wants his money tc
send to an eastern publisher.
After time you look over his account
and see bill of "balonce due" But
does he pay it freely and cheerfully!
We leave him to answer.--This, too, is
newspaper patronage.
Another man lives near you-nevel
took your paper-it is too small-don't like
the editor-don't like the politics-toc
whiggish, too locofUcoish, or too some
thing else-yet goes regularly TO hi:
neighbor and reads his by good fire
finds fault with its contents, disputes it:
positions, and quarrels with its type
Occasionally sees an article he likes
saves half a dime and buys a number
This, too, is newspaper patronage.
Another sports fine horse or per
haps pair of them-is always seen will
whip in hand and spur on toot-singlt
man-no use for him to take newspa
per-knows enough. Finally he con
cludes to get married-does so-sends
notice ofthe fact with "please publisl
and send me halfa dozen copies" Thi
done, does he ever pay for notice or pa
pers? No, but surely you don't charg'
for such things? This,too, is newspape
patronage.
, Another man bless you, it does II
good to see such many comes and says
f the year for which have paid is about t.
expire, and | want to pay for another
He does so and retires.

The History ofthe Holland Purchase
a work that we have not seen, contains
brief but interesting Memoir of ROBERT
MoRRTs. the Revolutionary Patriot and
"Merchant Prince" of the City of Phila-
delphia.
Mr.. MoRRIs was born in Liverpool, in
1893, and died at Morisana, N. j., in
1876. He came with his Father to A
merica, in 1745, and became Clerk in
the House of CHARLEs WILLING. an emf
nent Merchant of Philadelphia
We take the following extracts from
the Buffalo commercial Advertiser
When the news of the battle of Lex
ington reached Philadelphia, Mr. Morris
was presiding at dinner usually given
on the anniversary of St. George. He
participated in putting a sudden stop to
the celebration in honor of the English
Saint, and ne ped to upset the tables that
had been spread. His resolution was
fixed. 1t was one of devotion to the
cause of the colonies; and well was it ad-
hered to.
-
When Washington had recrossed the
Delaware for the second time, in Decem,
Der l777, the lime of the service of near
ly all the eastern troops had expired. To
induce them to engage for another six
weeks, he promised a boun,y of ten dol
lars each; and applied for the necessary
funds to Mr.. Morris In the answer OF
Mr.. Morris, accompanying the sum of fifty
thousand dollars, he ccngratulates the
Commander,in.C Chief upon his success in
retaining the men, and assures him that
"if farther occasional supplies of money
are wanted, you may depend on my ex.
ertions either in pubic or private ca
pacity."
In March, 1777, he was chosen, with
Benjamin Franklin and others to repre-
sen. the Assembly of Pennsylvania in
Congress; and in November following
was associated with Mr.. Gerry and Mr.
Jones to repair to the army and confident
ly consult with the Commander.in Chic
upon the best plan of conducting the win
ter campaign. In August, ITS, he wa'
appointed member oflhe Standing Com
mittee of Finance. The year IT'S anc
1779 were the most distressing periods o
the war. The finances were in wretch
ed condition, and Mr., Morris not only ad
vanced his money freely but put in re
QUESTION an almost unlimited individua
credit.
Among his financial expcdients to re
suscitate public credit, was the establish
ment of the Bank of North America
Collateral security was given for the per
formance of the engagements of the in
stitution in the form of bonds, signed b.
wealthy individuals. Mr.. Morris head
ed the list with subscription of 9l0,00(
In private interview with Washing
ton, the subject of an attack on Nel
York was broached Mr.. Morris dissen
ted; assuming that it would be at too gree
sacrifice of men and money; that tn
success the measure was doubtful; tha
evenif successful, the triumph, as to re
suits, would be barren one; the enemy

V The Louisville Journal says that the
Slave question will not embarrass the ad
ministration of General Taylorin the least
that its settlement belongs not to the
President and his Cabinet, but to Con-
gresS; and to that body alone it will be left.
The same article deprecates, in strong
terms, the arrest of the Wilmot Proviso
by the Executive veto-a calamity which
would result in the most terrible condi-
ton of political hostilities between the
North and the South. lfany President
Of the United States were to put his veto
upon the Wilmot Proviso, the people of
non-slaveholding States, who have the
supremacy Of numbers, would keep the
question in agitation until the next Presi
Dental election, and then, by their
strength as sectional and geographical
party, elect man who would not veto
! the Provso.

The DISAPPOINTED JOCKIES.-A scene occurred
a few days since in Broad street, which, as it may
cause a laugh, will do no harm to relate for the
benefit of our readers. A knot of persons had
gathered around a jockey, who was dong his best
to persuade young man that the horse he had Tor
sale was perfectly sound in wind and limbs, and
was only to be disposed of because he had no fur
tller use for him. Most of the lookers-on were ac-
quanted with the jockey, and rendered him all the
assistance they could, seeming 10 delight III the
prospect of the youth being BIZ. The latter seemed
to swallow all the protestaons oil the Jockey, VINO
was assuring him that the horse was but hVe years
old. when the animal opened his mouth as IT to
show bv his we'll worn teeth that this assertion
was not true a. gospel. The youth not taking the
hint, something resembling a horse-laugh was
heard as if proceeding from the animals mouth,
followed by the exclamation, " You lie I'm ten at
least" This startled all the parties, bat the
, jockey, pretending not to have heard the voice,
commenced fresh battery of the horses good quail
tiles. and made deduction in the price to induce
an immediate purchase. ''You warrant him

GUS voice. A pause ensued, only broken by a
hearty laugh from another jockey who compre-
hended the mystery from glimpse OF tile good-na-
tured face Of Signor BlitZ among the crowd, and
having himself horse to dispose Of hoped to profit
by the confusion of his rival. The latter immedl-
aiely became furious, thinking that the laugher
had been playing him a trick, and, his pugnaclous
propensities being aroused, milling scene ensued
in which he had the satisfaction OF coming OIL Sc

good their retreat-one was the pretended purcha-
