Wesee that The Standard has been calling up
on the Democrats 10 sustain their local pspers--
20 increase their lists. and lhus strengthen shem
for the contest i this duty which present.
itself with less force to the whigsi Have The,
less faith in the correctness Of their principles or
the justice Of their eausel Have they less neal
less public spirit, less Inducements 10 ralIy IN
support Of their pariyi Have they any less De.
sire TO extend sknowledge Of their principles and
vindicsie The soundncss Of their doetriuesi That
the Wings are. deficient in any Of these things
we are NOT willing to admit, but confidently ,rus,
that when they ara sensible Of the necessity Of
action thry will do their whole duty.
The STANDARD, in its real for lis party, l. rich,
in urging The support Of the local papas. To
give psper influence, il must have an extended
circulation; and to make il Efficient Il mus, have
generous support-ii must have paying sub.
scribers as well as readers. In this view Of Inc
case we offer the Recorder 10 the consideration
Of the Wings Of this District. The addition Of
one or two bundled 10 our list would greatly en-.
courage our efforts. and at the same time extend
the influence Of The paper. The only sure way
Of securing a complete and lasting triumph Of
principles i TO Disseminate information among
the people At their irc-sides, and not rely soley
upon Efforts made on the day ofeleciion. Though
this seems to he selfevidcni, our whip friend.
have not acted as il they were fully convinced Of
lis truth; and though on many occasions VIC have
had gratifying evidence that the course we have
pursued mel with the appreciation Of our friends,
very Few Of them have cxercj themselves to pro.
cure subscribers to the Recorder, and thus furnish
US that more substantial aid so necessary In an
pursuits. When i is known that the Democrats
are active in behalf Of their papers, and that they
spare neither labor nor money 10 uphold them
and extend their circulation, We trust that The
Wings will not longer be inactive. To meet
this occasion VIC have sent out few prospec.
fuses, and are prepared to furnish more, and hope
that before the campaign has fairly begun our
friends viii have made fair addition 10 our list.
We offer the Recorder for three, six, or twelve
months, al 50 per annum paid in advance. To
clubs We will send six copies for one year for ten
dollars paid at the time Of subscribing. While
we thus call upon Hercules TO help us, il will be
our endeavor, by putting our own shoulders to
the wheel, 10 make the Recorder worthy Of tho
patronage il shall receive.
