The Newspaper Press.

The laborer and the employer, the mechanic and the capitalist, the merchant and the man who lives on his interest, all acknowledge the power of the newspaper press, and consult it's columns from day to day, with increased zeal The influence of the newspaper is immense in this country, and no ore who is lover of ration d liberty and republican form of government can wish it less. While the press is free as now, tyranny or oppression can never overcome our national manhood The glory of this land, which is irradating t.ie whole earth, cannot be dimmed. And yet few newspapers in this country can live and become strong, wthcut devoting portion of their columns to adyer- tisements The rate of newspapers is so low among us, that the mere subscription price, without some other aid, will not sustain them. The ablcst, most permanent, and most infuer- tial papers in this country, are these that are enabled, by yielding portion of their columns to advertisements to pnt quota of the income from that source on to the paper itself, for it's improvements s-devoting that expense to it which its mere subscription price will not justify
 The writer's observation in this respect has been of long continuance, and the fact has commended itself to him very many times in the last twenty years, in the rise and fall of news papers.
 If, then, the newspaper is so indispensable, ss the guardian of our liberties-addressing itself to thousands, where the living voice can reach but hundreds-bow valuable is any mode by which it obtains strength and permanency How important duty it is to sustain it. How few think that in the communications which they make through the advertising colamns of . newspaper-which in expense is but triaing, and returns with tenfold interest to the adver- tiser--how few indeed think that besides this pecuniary advantage, growing out of their lib- eral views, is the higher nobler one, of strength cning the newspaper of their choice of giving 1t wider circulation, and more power to it's efforts of spreading it with more certainty and efficiency into the family circle thus Ia yiug the foundation, in the youthful members of those circles, by imperceptibe degrees, for good men and women-strengthening the patriotism and virtue of all, and blessing the state with those richest jewels good citizens
