To All Concerned,

Recent arrangements, by which we
have made, and intend further to make,
improvements in our paper, induce US
once more TO appeal to the lberality of
our patrons. New Years has brought
the usual quantity of "duns" for past ar.
rearages. our creditors are anxious to set.
tie with us, and we with them. We
hope and trust that an appeal 10 all, with
out exception, who are indebted to US,
will not be in vain. Wen have $500
Immediately, at furthost by the first of
March, or else there will be trouble. We
are in earnest when we say this.
We performed in the neighborhood Of
$50 worth Of printing, in 1S4S, for the
Wing party, not one cent of which have
we obtained. We printed tickets in
1916, 1s47 and in 1s49, not half Of which
have the candidates paid US for-We
have been in charge of the Gazette for
near four years, during which time a.
buut one third Of our subscribers have
not paid us one cent. We have on our
books any quantity of small accounts for
Job work and advertising, amounting in
all to handsome sum.
These must all be settled. If the pa.
per has been worth anything to the
Wing party of Fairfield, the friends of
that party should assist in keeping it up.
We have advanced as much out of our
private funds, as we are able to do. 1t
is neither right nor just that one man Or
few men should keep Up the county
paper. And We repeat that all, who are
indebted to US, in large or small sums,
must come forward aud pay US.
We also urge upon the very many
Wings of the county, who are in the
habit, weekly, of reading the. paper, to
come forward and subscribe for it. We
urge our friends to assist us little in in
creasing our circulation. Ageneral pay
ment and more extended circulation is
absolutely necessary to the prosperity Of
the establishment; and we make this ap-
peal to the Wings of the county, in
hopes that it may have the proper effect
We can make no stronger appeal to
our friends. They now understand the
matter, and we hope that they will moi
hesitate 10 make an immediate response
Mr.. BRowN AT HoME.-H1 Complt
ments TO the South Hon. w. ]. Brown
of Indiana, we remark, is out with card
in the Indiana State Sentinel, with the
design of justifying to his constituents
the part he saw fit to act in regard to
the Speakership in Congress. for which
the reader will RENE ember he was a prom.
inent candidate. Mr.. Brown says:
v" declared 10 the free sol men, il
elected, would appoint committees onthe
Judiciary, the District of Columbia, and
on Territories, composed of able and i'm.
partial members from both the North and
the South, who would act fairly and not
stiAe the public voice, by refusing to re.
port upon the important questions oi
slavery that might be presented. This
declaration, made in good faith and all
cahdor, has been denounced by southern
men as treachery of the blackest charac.
ter. r.un .....
From this charge appeal to my con.
sttuents, and to the freemen of the north:
ern States. Ought Ito have acted 9th.
erwise? had rather been defeated
with the vote | received, than to have
been elected under pledge to pack tht
committees for the benefit Of the slave
holding interest of the South. Bot the
time has come when the North will nc
longer bow the neck to the slaveocracy O
the Suuth. am DONE She cannot be
satisfied with moderate conservative
support. butyou must become the defen
der of her institutions.
IF you doubt or faulter, you are de
hounced as traitor, and with lordly
arrogance you are told that they will dis
solve the Union. Their course of con
duct has fully determined me neUer again
ID be a candiddtetor Congress. My con.
science tells me Ihave done right, and |
know generous and coniding constitu-
ency will sustain my course.
Well, "done Brown" 1t is wise to
take time by the forelock.
