About Ourselves.

one4of the disagreeable duties concern
ing the publication of q paper (says the
Martinsbnrg Republican, is the occasion,
al necessity of alluding directly. orsindi>
rectly to No. 4. No one inexperienced
in the business, can have an ideaof the
little annoyances which hang around it.
and the expenses which attend its prose-
cution. Paper. ink, hands, office rent,
fuel, taxes, insurance, nd numberless
other items-small it is true, separately,
but added together pretty considerable. in
the aggregate-all have to be paid for.
and that too as soon as they are due.
Now. we would ask. how are these ex-
penses to be met, unless the publisher
has the hearty and material cooperation
Of those who are regarded as the patrons
Of his paper. Some are ready to say.
"Well, he has capital, and what little I
owe will not go far towards paying his
Indebtedness. aud as it is not convenient
for me to pay at present. will defer it
for another year. and then we will square
up" This style of reasoning is unfair.
even where the capital on the part OF the
publisher, is possessed-every dollar he
earns ought to be paid within the year.
or Immediately after its expiration-but
where man is dependent upon his bust
ness for support. it is intolerable. We
did not commence this article. however,
with the intention Of writing moral es-
say upon the justice of paying editors, or
the propriety of settling up accounts
once year. Every man possessed Of a
reasonable share of integrity is convinced
of this, and all we ask is, that those who
owe US. will act upon the principle that
&" the laborer is worthy Of his hire" and
we are sure that the approaching holydays
will not find US without something to
cheer US on our way. PROFOUND this
question to your conscience, "Do owe
for subscription to the Democrat" and. il
upon reflection. you find yourself in ar
resrs. relieve yourself Of indebtedness, and
try what efficacy there is in printers
receipt. Then, again, "Do l owe for ad-
vertising ?" and before you hastily dis
miss the matter, think whether your bus
mess has not occupied place in his pa
per, az some period of the year. Per-
haps it may have been at the years COM
mencement, but still if it is unpaid. you
ought to know it, and knowing ought to
feelit. and act as though you still pos
sessed degree Of human kindness sufi-
cient to prompt you to the discharge of
your duty. Come up then, friends, and
square your accounts.

What Good did Mr.. FilImore's Run
ming Do!

ming Do!
We copy the following from the Au-
gusta Constiiutionalist
It is commended by some persons and
presses that Mr.. Buchanan owes the sue.
cess Of his election to the fact that Mr..
Fillmore was q candidate.
Let US test the value Of this opinion
1t will hardly be said that Mr.. Fillmore
aided Mr.. Buchanan in the State of New
York. for Mr.. Buchanan will not receive
the electoral votes of that State-the same
can be said of all the New England
States. Mr.. Fillmore's running did not
, help Mr.. Buchanan in Pennsylvania, for
the democratic ticket obtained more votes
in that State than the Fillmoreand Free
mont ticket united. -ta -.'
Mr.. Fillmore's running prevented the
democratic candidate from receiving the
electoral vote Of Maryland, and hence he
afforded no help to the democracy in that
State.
In Ohio Mr.. Fillmore was OF no service
to the democracy. for that State was car.
ried by the black republicans.
In Indiana the dem ocracy triumphed
over the Fillmore and Fremont fusion.
In Illinois. if reports are reliable, the
democracy have triumphed in spite of fu
sion, Fillmore, Fremont and everything
else.
In New Jersey Buchanan received
about as many votes as Fillmore and Ere.
mont united.
Inasmuch as Michigan and Wisconsin
have gone for Fremont. Mr.. Fillmore did
not aid the democracy in those States.
In all the Southern States the Fillmore
party opposed the democracy. Where
then did the know-nothing candidate ben.
eft the democratic nominee
Will some Of the wise men Of the know
nothing party bring up some reliable dats
upon which to sustain the opinion thai
Mr.. Buchanan owes a single electoral vote
which be requires to elect him to the pre-.
sidency to any effort on the part of Mr.
Fillmore's friends
Mr.. Buchanan owes his votes to the
national democracy Of the Union, aided
by thousands of conservative, constitu>
tional wings. aud not to know nothingisnl
or black-republicanism.

ArRooIoUs SENT1MENTs.-A card ap,

that Mr.. Wilson, Senator from Massachu-

the present session of Congress, that "he

MEN AND Provisions FOR GEN. WALKER.
The ship Tennessee which sailed from
New York on Wednesday for San Juan
de Nicaragua, took out men and proyis.
ions in aid of General Walker. The au-
thorities made no effort to prevent the
sailing Of the steamer. The Journal OF
Commerce says:
The pier was thronged by friends OF
the " cause" who exhibited their attach.
ment thereto by an inordinate amount of
cheering. Rumor had stated that two
hundred and fifty men had arrived here
from Philadelphia TO take the steamer,
and that the entire load of patriots would
number no less than four hundred. AS
usual, it turns out that rumor exaggerated
little. for the actual number of passep-
gers, all told, was IS in the cabin and III
in the steerage. They go free Of expense,
with grants Of land in prospect. The re-.
cruits from Philadelphia. upon enumera-
ton. dwiudled down to fifteen. Among
the passengers were Col. Anderson
Capt. John Creighton and Capt. Francis
O'Keefe. all OF the Nicaragua armv ::

cost Of the outfit was about So 600,
which was raised by contributions a, the
Tabernacle meeting and from various
other sources.
1t was announced at the meeting that
one thousand stand OF arms had been do.
mated to the cause. but there were no
signs Of any such formidable equipment
on board. The mea have not been or.
ganized into companies. and mos. of them
were evidently thrown together for the
FIRST time. About one half of the lot
were fresh from the country. They will
be drilled in the theory of war on the
way out. and will doubtless get into an
extensive practice Immediately after theiI
arrival.

The Late Rather Mathew.

Is The news by the Canada. announced
briefly the death of the celebrated Father
Mathew, at Cork, on the 9th inst. The
following Sketch Of his life will be read
with interest:
Theobald Mathew was born IN Thorn
aston. Ireland, October 10. 1890. He
was left an orphan at an early age. adop-
ted by4an aunt and educated at Kilkenny
Academy and at Maynoo,h. He was or.
dained to the priesthood at Dublin. hay.
ing previously entered upon his philan-
throphic labors among the poor. The
curse of whiskey, brought so fearfully to
bis notice among these wretched people.
reused him to unwonted enthusiasm, and
lie determined Upon a crusade ags inst the
demon Alcohol! e Adopting che principle
Of total abstinence, he e6nmenced a Sc.
ries of meetings, and soon awakened the
latent enthusiasm of The Irish nature; to
his assistance. meeting with success be-
lyopd Che widest hopes. He travelled
from town to town through all the Island.
His spotiess fame preceded him, and his
progress was one triumphal march. The
authorities unbent their dignity TO do him
honor, and the people followed and crows
ded around him with alteration. He adj
ministered the pledge to thousands at a
time at Nenagh to twenty thousand in
one day; at Galway hundred thousand
in two days between Galway Longhres
to nearly two hundred thousand,
From Ireland he went to England,
where even the phlegmatie Saxons were
infected with corresponding enthusiasm.
Then he came TO the United States, where
TO shake hands with the apostle Of tenn
perance and receive his medal with a
pledge of total abstinence was the highest
ambition of every worthy son and daugh-
ter of the Emerald Isle. His warm re-
ception and gratifying success in this
country are well remembered. Through
all his Herculean labor he never amassed
cent for himself. but was constantly in
a state Of personal poverty. When he be-
gan his good work his brother was the
proprietor of large distillery. He sup.
ported Theohsld until his wonderful sue.
cess had ruined the distillery, aud redu-
ced the owner to bankruptcy. To meet the
wants OF the good Samaritan, the British
government settled an annuity of f30o
upon him, which sum was just sufficient
to pay the premium upon an insurance
policy held by his creditors as security
for their claims. Since his return to Ire
land, the weight of years and the exer-
tons of long labor have compelled his
partial withdrawal from public life, and
his name has been less prominently be-
fore the public. In personal address Fla.
Their Mathew was courteous, benevolent
and winning in the highest degree. The
news Of his death will be received with
profound regret by every true friend Of
man throughout the world.
