We insert the above, not from any concern
we feel for the SANDERS of the scribbler who
wrote it, or for the contemplate relics of fall
en- faction who instigate or may pay him. But
we publish it to show the South in what man.
ner anything Southern is assailed from this city
in Northern papers. We publish it also to call
attention to the style in which true and gal.
liant Southerner is assailed--and to repel the
charge. We say now that we have never re.
ceived, either from Senator Davis, or from any
other member of Congress, a single dollar in aid
of this paper, or the promise of aid ofanything
pecuniary whatever, except from a few who
have paid their annual subscriptions for single
paper-the far greater number have not paid at
all, because we have not called on them, as we
have needed no money. We assert now also,
that our subscription has risen to more than
three thousand alread enough to support it
permanent subscriptions spontaneously sent
us without the employment of q single agent,
except for few days in this city and Charles
ton. We say, also, that we have already re-
ceived from subscribers more than four times as
much money as the expenses of printing thus
far amount to-and that we have received from
no person whatever, any contribution or guar.
anty, nor have we bargained for any, nor do
we expect any for any extrinsic support of this
paper beyond regular subscribers and ADVERT
sers-unless the receipt offifty dollars from one
lady for ten daily subscriptions, and two OF
three other cases for a smaller number. may be
so considered
We assert, also, that we are now receiving
on an average, more than hundred subsc'i'
hers, and more than hundred dollars cash, da''
ly, for subscriptions alone, although neither our
prospectus nor our paper has as yet reached
one-fortieth part of the South.
And, while on this subject, we may take the
opportunity to say, that we know the miserable
faction who are engaged in the attemptto injure
this press, because they know its success is the
ruin of their hopes. We know, also, that they
are not engaged in.the business of defamation
alone by their understrappers-but we know
that they would like to perpctrate still more
daring and diabolical design. if they had the
courage We tell them we are prepared, and
shall not permit their malignity and cowardice
to avail themselves of the courage of Others :
Let their Lender dare to attempt the execution
of his own plans.-Souihcrn Press.
