Great success Of the Flag Stq6!-
Children cry far H!-It affords us
the most adequate satisfaction to in
form our readers that the rush for
this paper continues great. 1t coc-
quals our most sanguinary expecta-
tons. When We started tie Flag
staff on the extensive basis princi-
pies we 60 on, il was considered a
moot PINT, and that by men Of pooty
judicious judgment, on whose iudg-
ment we rely. They said to us con-
fdentialIy, which they meant thor
onghly to carry out in their mind
eye, we have 10 doubt; I'VE are
friendly to you, for ourselves, per.
SonaIlaIly, we will subscribe; but
we tell You the experiment is hazi-
duS. Your platform is too broad -
Men want a narrower line of con-
duet to stand on to. Here is our
dollar. You may have our money,
but we give yOu our advice Said
we, taking our pen out Of our car,
and laying it on our table, at the
same time soldering up a letter with
wafer, squirting long streak Of
spittle onto their boots, with the most
entire composure Of mind; 'Gente-
men, me have confdcnS in our fcller
men. Give us your money and keep
your advice : and we found out that
this class Of advisers were acting
altogether with a gro ammo for

some couldn't change twenty dol

it TO us, we thought ii come tough
Uncomposed and undiscouraged, we
set ourselves to work. Says we to
onrself, Principles must command
respect. Those who have no princi-
pies are doing very wrong We do
think. Dear friends, we say to you,
that we want you should effect on
it. Let us dwell little on that pint.
Remember this, so that you can turn
back to it when we tell YOU, and
when we say, that we said it spell
ago! No principles would sink a
man or a ked'ntiy to profundi,y
where Sandy Jones or Walton
couldn't fish it up again on a sum-
mer's day, we warrant you, either
with worms, clans, flies, or eel
spears. 'Tis'nt bad principle will
do it. Them you can put your fng-
er onto +; somdthin' to grab. But
where there is no princpies, you
cannot find 'em. Do you see the
difference? Now turn back to wha,
we have said, and see whether it
corresponds. But as our plain read
ers, the farmers, may not be expec-
ted to be conversant with logic, we
abstain. But we would inform these
good friends, and the advertising
community in general, that our cir
culation knows no retiring ebb, but
keeps right on. On the day of pub
LEGATION of our last issue, we think
the pressure exceeded anything we
ever seen. The jam begun to grow
dangerous, say about eleven o'clock:
but the police was not called till a.
bout enc, and no death occurred UNI
til quarter OF an hour after. At
that time, Thomas Brown, Esq, was
squeezed to death. Mr.. Brown had
been afflicted with severe cold for
about week previous. He done a
good cash business atthe time of his
death. Several mothers, with in
lants at their breasts of tender age.

Main and Tcrraxcum streets be-
came intense, was in extreme peril.
We do think that it is highly impru-
dent in mothers to venture in such
crowds with their tender otfSprings
We should be much panied should

infanticide casualty. Some boys was
