The Newspaper Press.

The laborer and the employer-the mechanic and the
capitastthe merchant and the man who lives on his
interes-all acknowledge the power of the newspaper
press and consult its columns from day to day with in
creased zeal. The influence of the newspaper is i'm
mense in this country, and who is lover of ra
tonal liberty and Republican form of government can
wish ii less While the press is free now tyranny
OF oppression overcome national manhood.
The glory of this land which rradiating the whole
earth, cannot be dimmed And yet few newspapers in
this country live and become strong, without devo
ting portion of their columns advertisements The
rate of newspapers is low among u.s. that the
subscription price, without other aid will

fuentia papers in this country those that
bed by yielding portion Of their columns to advertise
ments put quota of the income from that source on
to the paper itself for its that
expense to which its subscription price will not
justify.
The writer's observation in this respect has been of
long continuance, and the fact has commended itself
him very many times in the last twenty years in the
rise and fall OF newspapers. -
If then, the newspaper is so indispensable as the
guardian of liberties addressing itself thousands
where the living voice can reach but hundreds-how
psrmanency. How important duty it becomes to sus-
tain it. How few think that, in the communications
they make through the advertising columns Of news
paperwhich in expense but trhing and returns with
tenod interest to the advertser-how few indeed think
that besides this pecunsry advantage growing out of
their liberal views, the higher nobler one, Of strength
eniag the newspaper of their choice-of giving it a
wider circulation. and more power to its efforts-"f
speeding il with certainty and efficiency into the
family circle thus laying the foundation in the youthful
members of those circles by imperceptbe degrees for
good and the patriotism and
virtue Of ALL and blessing the State with those richest
jewels, good citzens And yet, Of well-dgested
system Of Advertising, springs, legtmatey, snch ad-
vantages these growing they spread till the good
they do becomes immense, incalculabs. He is not
wise, either in a worldly, moral social sense with
