rights and best interests both of advertisers and
printers. The Tribune should correct the nat
'er. We will not undertake to tell what Mr.
Palmer's course to others has been, but we will
tell what il has been TO ourselves For sonic
years he chose to select our paper for Advertising
both 70. the Boston aud New Yorl, trade, and we
were pleased to serve the public through hun :;
but It so happened that We were equally pleased
to serve the Boston trade through Mr.. 5. NJ
prrrfNeILL. Upon this Mr. Palmer required
us to make him sole agent for US. We replied,
that if he required us to act on the principle Of
having but one agent IN Boston, we would choose
either Mr.. Petfenpill or Notwithstanding that
he palmer was then our only agent at New
York. and uquirng whether lee would continue
to act as such there. lie replied that he would
not be agent for us any lchere except on condi-
ton that we would make hm an exclusive agent
wherever he had Offices. We refused the con
dition. telling him that 1t was wrong. ltamoun.
ted 10 a pledge, which he ought not to require
and we ought not to make-a pie ige to close
York, Philadelphia, &c. unless biy ordered
through Palmer. Palmer next ordered his Bos
ton clerk to forward no more advertisements to
the Waterman and State journal, and SAID
like order would be given in his other Offices
We notified him that this was unnecessary, as
we would receiue no orders from HIM any way
which, we admit was not the right thing, but it is
Just exactly what Palmer's lnsoence tempted us
to say. We thereupon authorized :. VI. PR
rtN5iLL g. o. 10 give notice that they were
our agents and the only authorized agents in
New York and Boston. These gentlemen are
still our only authorized agents in those cities,
and we have always found them prompt, correct
and gentlemany in their business. Messrs PR
TENGiLL & Co. require no condition, injurious
either TO advertisers or printers; and although
we have the right to receive orders from all who
send orders that are acceptable To US, we yet
recommend Messrs PETrENGILL s. Co. to the
advertisers of New York and Boston as adver-
Using agents. These gentlemen have treated
US justly, and we doubt not they viii so treat
every body else Until Mr. Palmer gives upthe
plan Of monopozne the agency business, we
cannot commend HIM. The sure tendency of
his course is to drive from him cv,ry indepcnd-
ent publisher aud to HINT himself IN the seec-
ton of newspapers 10 a class which is not the
most useful to advcriis PTS. In Vermont there
are about forty newspapers, aud Mr. Palmer has
bu, sspen on has ls', and one Of these is a news
paper that we never saw or heard Of Bonning
ton, Rutland, Bratleboro', Woodstock, Brandon
Nuddobury and ST. Johnsbury are among the
most important towns 10 the state, aud in an are
published newspapers Of good standing, and
some Of them are among the oldest papers in
the state; yet Mr. Palmer is not agent sole tor
one OF ihem Burlington, Montpelier and st Al
bans are oil important towns, and wing in poll
ties yet Mr.. Palmer is not agent for siugle
wing paper IN either of them. Vermont Is a
wing state, and has fourteen wing newspapers
