This number closes the third volume OF
the Democrat. We embrace the opportu-
nifty thus afforded to tender our most CRATE
full Acknowledgements to those kind friends
and co-laborers who have patronized and
paid US. As our necessities have been,
and are, great, such solid wishes for our
present and future prosperity. will not soon
be forgotten. But unto the 'delinquents'
what shall we say? Alas. we know not,
unless it be few words of warning, or
some kind advice, that might be we'll for
them to give heed unto. Some of them
h ave taken our paper for 10! these three
years. and have paid nothing; we have fire.
quently called upon them to call on us,
but up to the present writing have "failed
to come to time" We could stand this
very well for two or three years, but when
it comes to making general thing of it,
We protest! During the past year, We
have beseeched them--have tried to scare
'em-5ut the mastery inactivity which
they preserved was truly amusing to
any one less interested than Ourselves.
Now, we declare and publish, that ev-
cry subscribers name, who is owing for
the frst and second volumes, will be erased
from our books, and the accounts left with
the proper officers for collection, if not
paid by the first day of February. 1850
Our pecuniary circumstances are such
that we cannot afford to furnish paper
three, five or ten years without any pay.
This may appear very strange to some;
yet our experience has Clearly demonsta-
ted its truthfulness to our minds.
1t would give US much pleasure to re-
ceive and receipt for all tho amounts due
US from those living in and about town. du-
ring the coming week. We have done our
part, and we call upon all indebted to pay
up!
