| Give us Some Reason for IL.
On what principle Of equity or law
should the publisher Of = newspaper
be required to adopt a his own hon
est conviction Of truth, the individual
puff Of every emperio in medicine and
quaok pill maker? Why, should ev'
cry Northern maker of nostrums BY
steam, send out their runDers to the
South, East and West, with ready
made puffs Of themselves to 60 in the
first" column Of the country paper, to
be adopted by the publisher, as edito-
rial and to give spice Of originality
to his delectable sheet? To say that
such have the impudence Of the Devil,
is TO give no adequate idea Of their
bald faced assurance. They come in
with an air Of nonchalonce-spread
out their Certificates" "cuts,'' "puffs' :
and advertisements and tell US that
"these fifty-two paragraphs are to 60
in alternately one week, in the
first column Of the paper; so that the
reader may infer, that the editor him
self has dosed with the oliver pills.
until he is as familiar with their effect
on the digestive organs as he is with
anything else Of which he knows moth.
ing. What is the reason; why the
country papers are overlooking full of
such stuff? Why it grows out Of the
fact, that every thing in great age
like this is measured by its size. A
large paper is therefore, better than a
small paper, it matters not what they
contain.
These Yankee REGULATORS know as
we'll in Weathersfeld, this fact, as we
do here hence their circulars. A
magnificent gift enterprise" is 10 be
gotten up in some place where there
is a law against lotteries-to evsde
the law on one hand, and swindle the
community on the other. Every coun-
try paper in Louisiana, publishes the

cost Of advertising in tickets. Some
dead shot vermifuge" is to be palmed
of on credulous community the
editor is to take pay for the manufac-
turer's own puffs, in printers ink. The
"Cathartic PHI makers agent comes
along; he wants column to be adorn.

it to be paid for? Why in Cathartic
Pills, Of course.
In this connection, there is only
one9 thing to be complained Of 1t is
this that in nearly every instance
where qusck puffs Of poison, ARE in.
serted in the country press, they are
inserted at less than half the charge
made to local merchants, mechanics
and artizans. This we contend, is not
right; all the fraternity to the contra.
