TO our Friends aud Patrons.

The malignity with which our enemies
and those Of the Democratic party, have
pursued Us while candidate for the
Clerkship Of our County Court. and the
unusual efforts that have been made to
defeat us. combined with the rare cir.
cumstances Of our having been thrown
into three canvasses within about year.
has necessarily compelled rs to incur NO
inconsiderable expense and loss Of time.
Aud now that we are defeated by an un.
holy combination. it is necessary that We
should. devote ourself TO that portion Of
our business which has been so long and
so sadly neglected-the collection Of
what is due US and the payment Of our
debts. Il is e1ul,ingly asserted by our
foes to whom "the wish is father to the
thought. THAT We are broken up. and that
the Register must go down. We fa.ter
ourself that in this. they will be sadly
disappointed. We apprehend that our
friends aud patrons will cheerfully come
to the rescue and pay US what is DUE
For those who do no. We shall endeavor
to find some "moral suasion" that will in.
duce them. to 'render unto Cae sar's the
things that are Cesar's." We hope that
we shall not be put to the trouble Of ask
ing any man twice for what has besn long
and justly due US, but that we shall be
aided in our laudable undertaking of plac-
ing ourselves square with the world. by
prompt payments. II our efforts are
crowned with success. as We doubt not
they will be. the Register will not only
not 90 down. but will be increased in in
terest and usefulness.
