and job Office constantly during the past two
years, and especially the last year, till VIC have
now three times the amount of material IN it
Of any other Office in this county. This mate
rial has all been selected by practical printer,
and is adapted to all descriptions Of work. Our
press is twice the size of any other in the county
We have also the largest job type, and can
issue the largest apd handsosaest posters. We
have the only Ruggles card press in the county,
on which we can work off 800 impressions per
hour-250 being the work Of a common lever
press.
Our prices are the same that they have been
the past six months, and will always conform
to the times But as we do large share OF
the work of our Office ourselves, being practical
printers, and thus save much hire Of bands.
we can do work at profit where other offices
in the county OF the same price would do it at
a loss. Therefore, if need be, we will reduce
our prices to the mere cost Of material and
labor, or even one half price the latter.
So much for what we will do. What We
will not do is to dog the steps Of persons get
ting work done at any other Office and levy

down on business unless the sproprietor gives
us an advertisement of it, as well as to another
paper. We will not querulously complain to
persons of our political sentiments that they

will not bribe doerkeeper to scatter our i'm
print in Concert Hall because We don't get the
programmes to print. We wont charge NJ.
Guillod or any other person one price, and then
cut it down to get his work at Grass Valley
away from the Telegraph Office. We wont
after doing that accuse another paper that it
takes work below prices we pretended to work
at. If it should happen that not knowing we
were q fshy democrat, we had relative in the
Senate who got US an Office, say the post Office,
for which we were not fit, and which we totally
neglected save to make it tool for other pur-
poses, we would not earn also the contempt OF
printers by compelling expressmen to get all
their posters and advertising done in our Office
on penalty of being embarrassed in getting
their letters. We don't let our compositors go
growing about town that they cannot get their
pay from u.s. We don't go to business men
and offer to take advertisements at any price
after pledging ourselves to certain prices and
take it in their way. We wont catch itinerant
players and singers in the outskirts Of the town
and compel them to come in" our Office for
work. And we wont after doing all these
things, talk of honor and straight wardness.

mend the following article of the Louisville
Journal of Sept. 10th, to public notice The
parallel to the editor of the Y. H. is as perfect
as if he had sat for the picture
@- During the administration of Gen.
Jackson, considerable number of editors
were appointed postmasters, and some
three or four of them, after entering upon
the discharge of their official duties, con-
tinued, or were suspected of continuing,
their editorial relations with their respective
papers. The whig presses commented in
terms of strong indignation upon the man
ifest and scandalous improperly Of mans
being permitted to act as postmaster and
partizan editor at the same time, and re-
dress, at least an apparent redress, of the
evil speedily followed. Orders were issued
from headquarters at Washington city, that
no postmaster should edit paper, and, if
the order was in any case disregarded, it
was done secretly. No postmaster, if con-
nected with a newspaper, dared to let his
connection with it be known to the public.
During the succeeding administrations of
Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor,
and Fillmore the same rule was enforced.
By neither Of those administrations was a
postmaster tolerated in avowedly edit
ing a newspaper. Locofoco postmasters
were occasionally charged, and whig post
masters were sometimes charged, with
writing and publishing political articles
clandestinely and even with having the
secret control snd management of partiSan
papers, but ne charge of the kind was at
any time acknowledged by those against
whom it was made. If a whig postmaster
had under any administration avowed him.
self the editor of paper or dared to be the
editor OF paper undisguisedly, the whole
locofoco party would Justly have made the
land resound with the hercest denuncia-
tions Of the outrage.
What was never tolerated BY any prece-
ding administration is openly tolerated i'm
the Pierce administration. There is at
least one locofoco postmaster who is acting
as the avowed editor of locofoco and
free soil paper. We allude to the man
Gray, editor of the Cleveland Plaindealer,
whom the administration appointed some
months ago Ito the Cleveland post-offiss.
Ever since his appointment to the post.of-
Ace, he has been acting openly as both
postmaster and and as locofoco editor.
He seeks nc disguise in the matter. In
