Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1852-02-07
The Executive Committee, 10 the Subscribers
of the BugIC.

The Publishing Agent this week sends bills
for ono gear or more. II there arc mistakes in
any of the bils-thcy will bo gladly corrected
whenever known. Tho bills are made out in
accordance with the published terms of the pa
per. Two dollars per onnum being charged for
tho time since the price Of tho paper was raised
and ono dollar and fifty cents Cor tho previous
time, that is for tho period when the advance
price was one dollar per annum. The Publish.
ing Agent is authorized in cases where dcln-
qucnt subscribers pay up, and also pay an ad-
vance subscription, to remit the extra charge for
delinquency equal to tho time for which they
pay in advance. So that a delinquent who
pays years delinquency and also makes pay
ment for year i'll advancc-will get the two
years subscription for S3--.ihc advance price.
webcg 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 one, two, three or more years-with.
out any return on their part Ii any arc too
poor to pay and the paper is deemed useful in
their families or ncighborhools-wo shall still
gladly furnish it to them when informed of the
facts. From those who are 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, &c.
The debts no,o dRo on Mo Bylo ,couid enable as to
meet all our liabilities publish the paper for tho
rest of the year and leave us capital in hand for
efficient future operations. Let us at least, re-
coivc enough Of our just dues to meet our en-
gagemcnts and como out clear at the years end
The radical Anti-Siavory papers at the East,
we arc happy to learn, have never been moro
prosperous than now. Shall our paper in the
West languish, not for want of donations, but
for the payment of its subscription list. Our
territory is broader than theirs and its cultva-
ton none tic less important.
Perhaps somo who find heavy bill of ar
rcaragc to pay, may feel too poor to continue the
papor-we hope there will be few such. 1t is
the intention of the committee, in future to
prevent the running up of large bills as in the
past. If therefore the bills VIC now send out
are not responded to within reasonable period,
the paper viii be stopped. Tho Committee
prefer, for their own sake as well as for that OF
the subscribers, that all should take advantage
of tho opportunity for adeance paymlent-and
get tho paper at its lowest price.
Occasionally letters arc received from post
masters, stating that subscribers refuse their
papers, and that too, after having taken them
for one, two or moro years without pay. This
must be negligence or knavcry without pala-
ton or excuse. We trust our list is now near
ly or quito purscd from this class of "patons." &"
Those of our subscribers in Ohio who know
themselves to be indebted, but do not receive
bills this week, will understand that whatever
they owe, is for a less period than one year, and
we hope they will hasten to remit for the cur
rent volume and thus save the charge which
will be added if they delay till after the close
of their subscription year.
Will not our friends also make efforts to en-
large tho subscription list BY little indivi-
dual effort Of friends in their respective loeali-
tics, much might be done. Ii but one subscri-
Der was added at each Office to which VIC now
address our papers, our list would receive ar
increase of several hundred. Don't wait fol
Agents to visit you and to do this work. It il
a useless expense of time labor and money tc
send them about the country to do that whicl
you can as we'll do among your ncghbors at
less expense. The enterprise is yours as trul,
as ours. The Committee arc but your agents
while they stand in their lot, they look to yor
to be efficient co-worktrs in your respective
localities.
By order of the Executive Committee.
