PATRONAGE

The folloy wing article on the subject OF
"pa.ronage" is copied from the Halifax Sun
We copy it because our own experience veri-
fes every word oft:
This thing called patronage is queer
thing. II is very correctly remarked by some
one. that it is composed Of as many colors as
the rainbow, and is as ehangeable as the hues
of the chameleon.
One subscriber for paper and pays for it
in sdyanee--he goes home and reads it the
wear round with the proud satisfaction that
tits his own. He hands in an advertisement
asks the price and pays for it-this is pa
tronage.
Another man says" Put my name on
YOUR list Of subscribers" without having AS
much IS having said paid once. He asks you
for to advertise-but says nothing about
paving for it. Time passes-your patience is
sxhausted, you dun him, he flies into . pas
siop--perhaps he paysyou--perhaps not.
Another man has been subscriber some
time. lie becomes tired of you and wants a
change. Thinks he wants another journal.
Gives il up and you bad name. One of his
papers is returned to you "refused." Paying
for it is among the last Of his thoughts. After
A time YOU look for his account and send him
a bill OF "balance due" But he does not pay
it-treats you with silent contempt. This
too some call patronage.
Another man lives near y0u--uever took
your paper-it is too small-don't like the
editor-don't like its principles-too whig-
gish, too democratic, its leader too stroug-
tales too dry, or vice versa, or something else
yet goes regularly to his neighbours and
reads it--fnds fault with its contents dis
putes its positions-and quarrels with type,
ink or psper-occasonally sees an article he
likes, buys number per quarter This too,
10 patronage. -.tt
Another (bless you, it does US good to see
such man. comes and says, "The year for
which have paid is about to expire | want
to pay you for another" He does so and re-
tires. This is patronage, but oh, how rare
Another man subscrbes--wants you to
give it to him on advance terms he gets it
regularly, reads it carefully, praises it every
time he sees you, as being good paper, wish
es you success, hopes others will subscribe
and encourage it, feels disappointed if it is
not issued regularly, and lie the irst to com
plain of non .appearance-all this he can do;
yet he never dreams of paying, unless you
dun him, and then with good promise he will
put you off. This too, Is very common pa
trOnsge.
Is not patronage curious thing And in
that great day when honest men get the re-
ward due to honesty which Of these enume-
rated above will get the rewsrdi Now, it
will be seen that while certain kinds of pa
tronsge are the very life and essence of a
newspaper, there are certain other kinds that
will kill paper stone dead.

Nashville, Aug. 30, 1855.

es" A correspondent of the New York
Post tells the most astonishing stories in re-
lation to Col. Kinney's movement in Central
America. The following is a specimen:
"The Colonel has become a very large
landholder since he arrived there, as our cor
respondent reports, having purchased no less
than 30,0O0,000 of acres, with 300 miles of
sea coast. 1t is the same trnct that was
originally granted by Nlcssrs. Shepherd and
Haley to Senator Cooper, VIM. Cost Johnson,
Joseph l.. White, Of this city, and others, but
which conveyance became void in consequence
of the grantees failing to comply with some
of the stipulated conditions. The Colonel
pays only $500,0o0, which is pretty cheap,
considering that his farm is about eight hun
dred times rs large as the State of New
York."
