Support your Home Press.

There is Il certain matter wherein our |
Republican friends do great injustice to
themselves as we'll as to the State press, |
which it seems to us should only require |
to b. pointed out to be rectlfied. There
are in this State somewhere between thr-
tysix and forty Republican daily aud
weekly papers, aud, a whole, in point OF
ability and tact in management, and me
chanital Appearance, they will compare "a.
vorably will the press of other States, and
yet Ibis ps, Ipn,t has most meagre and IN
il deserves. and with what the interests OF
the Republican narty demand. Rather
Than support their home press, which even
ST lis poorest estate is constantly conterring
benefits upon them, they send their money
out of the State for papers ruoiished at
the cast. and it is no; uncommon that
Fcnnbi can who thinks he cannot afford to
