miserly subscriber to a newspaper, to one Of
CHOW much does It cost you a Year,"
asked the neighbor.
Gone dollar and a half" was the reply.
"And cant you afford one dollar and a
half a year? Think Of it, only one dollar
and a half a year! A year is a long time.
Perhaps you have only a few such to spend
here on earth. Ayear! whole year! and
only one dollar and a half a year! And
what do you get for your money? A large
closely printed useful sheet; giving you
the news of the week, a large amount of
miscellaneous reading-philosophical and
grave, and humorous-And you cant afford
one dollar and a half for such a paper a
whole year"
"Well, / declare, neighbor you talk like
an experienced man. | never thought OF
it in Just that light before, it is only one dol
lar and a half for a year, and yet the pa
per comes to me every week, and | love to
read it; I always find something in it that
is interesting to me. And moreover, on
second thought, | perceive that, after all,
a GOOD newspaper is about the cheapest
thing aman can have. He gets more read
ing for his money than he can in any Other
way"
"Truth neighbor, and this shows, thai
what I have already said, is true; news
papers seem to be designed almost exclusive
" for the poor. No man is too poor II

Acceptances Of the Whic Nominees a

We publish below the correspondence be-
tween the President of the late WING Con
venlion and its nominees for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency of the United States
The letter Of General Scorr is looked for with
great interest, and will be read with unaloyed
satisfaction II will be seen that General
ScoTT adopts the resolutions communicated to
him, annexing them and king them part of
his letter Of acceptance; so that they carry his
name TO every part of the land associated aud
identified with the platform of the WING Con
vention.
In publishing the letter OF Mr.. GRAHAM,
we regret to accompany it with the announce
ment that he has rendered the resignation Of
his place as SECRETARY or THE Navy. He has
been prompted to this course by delicate
perhaps oyer-delicate-sense Of propriety; and
an apprehension that by remaining in the Cab
met, while in the field as a candidate for office.
he may cause embarrassment to the Administra-
tion. While we cannot but respect the senti-
ment which induces Mr.. GRAHAM to pursue
this course, we sincerely regret that he has
deemed it necessary; and the more so, because
we have reason 10 know that his intercourse
with the PsEsrDENT and his Administration
has been uniformly smicable, confidential, aud
satisfactory. We understand that, at the ur-
gent request Of the PRESIDENT, Mr.. GRAHAM
will remain for some days in the Department,
with the view Of completing some important
business that remains unfinished, and Of arrang
ing such matters as require immediate atten-
tion. lie will then retire to North Carolina,
AND, in the midst of his old friends and consti-
tuents, await the result Of the election.

WAsHINoToN, June ~, 1907.
STA: I am gratifed TO acknowledge the receipt
OF the communication which you did me the honor
to deliver in person on yesterday, announcing my
unanimous nomination, the Wing candidate for
the office OF Vice Presden: of the United States by
the National Convention which recently assem-
bled in Baltimore, accompanied by copy OF the
resolutions Of the convention upon questions OF ma
tional principle and policy.
cordially approve the declarations made by
these resolutions. On matters of the most recent
practical interest they do but portray the conduct
OF an administration of the Government of which
for near two years have been member. On all
others they but reterate the doctrines and recon-
mendations held by its chief in important public
communications.
Should the people of the United States give their
sanction to the nominations Of your convention, so
far as l shall be invested with authority, faithful
adherence to these doctrines may be expected.
therefore accept the distinction, 80 honorably
rendered, with grateful heart, but with unaf-
iected dihidence 1t is n satisfaction, however, TO
know that the place to which have been nom-
mated is but secondary, and that for the first office
the convention has proposed citizen of tried pa
triotism and virtue, long and familiarly acquainted
with public affairs and public men. A safe and
sagacious counsellor, who has we'll fulfilled every
trust heretofore committed to his hands. and who
has illustrated our history by eminent public ser
vices.
have honored me, in the execution Of your office,
and with the highest personal respect, am your
obedient servant,

Con. Scott MT the South.
From the Buffalo Commercial 1ddpertise

From the Buffalo Commercial Aduertiser.
That the Reporter is right in anticipating cite
mendous reaction in Scot's favor' at the South,
we have no doubt whatever. The veteran has long
been warmly admired in that region, and the op-
position to his nomination there proceeded from
the erroneous apprehension that he sympathized
with the slavery agitators in the Northern States
They were led to distrust his soundness on the
Compromise question on account of his supposed
affinities. Standing the National Wing plat
form, his most efficient support will come from the
South. His eminent and patriotic services in the
days OF notification, and the dsling ushe ability
which he exhibited in the removal OF the Cherokees
gave him strong hold upon men of all parties in
that section OF the country, and we shall be disap
pointed he does not prove stronger than the wing
purity throughout the entire South Most OF the
Wings there had set their bearts upon Mr. Fill
more, and at first many Of them Will be d5con-
tented with the result Of the convention But our
readers will rene embcr how the thing worked IN an
analogous case The Southern Wings generally
protested against ths nom nation of Gen. Harrison,
insisting that if Mr.. Clay was overslaughed the
party would go TO pieces. They were sincere In
this, and well do we remember the powerful effect
which their vehemence produced the conyen-
ton. How mistaken they were, and how the hon
and brave old soldier swept the country like
a tornado must be fresh in the recollection OF all.
May we not anticipate similar result next fall
We are disposed to think that the fears enter
tained at Washington respecting the course OF the
Freesoilcrs without foundation The Whig
party will sustain General Scott with much zeal
and unanimity charact terized their support Of
General Tay lor. In lS4s there a few Wings
who loved Mr.. Clay intensely that they voted
for Mr.. Van Buren,, TO signalize their devotion to
the great kentuckian and the principles of which
his public life was illustration. Perhaps there
may be here and there an adrnirer Of hlr Webster
who will exhibit his consistency in a similar man
ncr but such instances Of detection will be rare
not to be felt at the polls

He referred to the prediction OF Judge Douglas
