The Executive Committee, 10 The Subscribers
OF the BugIe,
The Publishing Agent this week sends bills
to all our Ohio subscribers who arc in arrears
for one year or more. If there are mistakes in
any OF the bills-thcy will be gladly corrected
whenever known. The bills arc made out in
accordance with the published terms of the pa
per- Two dollars per annum being charged for
tho time since the price of the paper was raised
and ono dollar and fifty cents for the previous
lime' that is for tho period when the advance
price was one dollar per annum. The Publish.
ing Agent is authorized in cases where dcin-
quSnt subscribers pay W, and also pay m ad-
vance subscription, to remit the cxtfs charge for
delinquency equal 10 tho time for which they
pay In advance So that delinquent who
pays a years delinquency and also makes pay
meht Tor year in advancc-will get the two
years subscription for $3--.thc advance price.
We beg our friends who receive bills, to con-
slider our necessities and tho justice Of our
| claim. We have now furnished them with the
paper for ore, two, thrco or more ycors-with.
out any return on their part. Ii any arc too
poor to pay and the paper is deemed useful in
their families or noighborhoods-w shall still
gladly furnish it to them when informed Of the
facts. From those who arc able to pay, we ask an
immediate response, as an act of justice to US.
The Committee need the money now, to meet
their engagements for paper, printing SC.
The debts no,o due on the Du7lc rouid enable as to
meet al our Ga5idties, publish tho paper for the
rest OF the year and leave us capital in hand for
efficient future operations. Let us at least ro-
eeivc enough of our just dues to meet our on
gagcments and come out clear at the years end.
The radical Anti slavery papers at the East
we arc happy to learn, have never been more
prosperous than now. Shall our paper in the
West languish, not for want of donations, bu
for the payment of its subscription list. Ou
tcrritery is broader than theirs and its eultiva
ton mono the less important.
Perhaps some who find n heavy bill Of ar
rcaragc to pay, may feel too poor to continue tn
paper-wc hope there will be few such. 1t /
the intention Of the committee, in future t.
prevent the running up Of large bills as in tn
past If therefore the bills we now send ou
are not responded TO within a reasonable period
the paper will be stopped. Tho Committe
prefer, for their own sake as well as for that o
the subscribers that all should take advantage
of the opportunity for adcaace pdyment--ane
get the paper at its lowest price.
Occasionally letters are received from post
masters, stating that subscribers refuse thcil
papers, and that too, after having taken them
for one. two or more years without pay. This
must be negligence or knavcry without palia.
ly or quite purged from this class of "pa!yons.
Those of our subscribers in Ohio who know
themselves to be indebted, but do not receive
bills this week, will understand that whatever
thcy owe, is for less period than one year, and
We hope they will hasten to remit for tho cur
rent volume and thus save the charge which
will be added if they delay till after the close
of their subscription year
VIII not our friends also make efforts to en-
large the subscription list. by little indivi-
dual effort OF friends in their respective locoli-
tics, much might be done. If but one subscri-
bcr was added at each Office to which we now
address our papers, our list would receive an
increase of several hundred. Don't wait for
Agents to visit you and to do this work. 1t is
useless expense of time labor and money to
send them about the country to do that which
you can as well DO among your neighbors at a
less expense. The enterprise is yours as truly
rs ours. Tho Committee are but your agents,
while they stand in their lot they look to you
to be efficient co-woikers in your respective
localities.
By order Of the Executive Committee.
