One DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS YEAR.-Some
OF the former subscribers to the 60 Farmer " or
" Star have got tho idea that they were to
have the Freeman at the price agreed upon for
those papers. Nothing is more incorrect. We
explicitly stated, and SO state again, that all
who had paid for either of those papers would
have the Freeman FREE to fill out the time paid
for. All who had not paid, must pay at the
terms agreed upon, for what they had had, and
at 81 so per year for all the time they took the
Freeman With the extra expense of so mnch
reading matter, and most of it original and OBJ
tanned at great price from our own State wri-
tiers, we cannot take less than 81 so per year
for the Freeman. Some persons send us 81 90,
and say, eff you do not choose to take that,
return it and stop the paper" We Always stop
the paper.
New SUBSCRIBERS The number of new friends
which have joined the Freeman list the present
month, is over 500 and the number is increasing
at the rate of 25 day. One day last week we
added l3l new names to our list, and received on
another day $l9l. Avery good appearance for
the paper which has unsuccessfully struggled
for years in the maintenance of Anti-Slavery
principles, and had chronicled the death of every
other distinctive Anti-Slavery paper in the
State. A very good look, indeed. And to the
exertions of its friends it is in great measure
due. Our business is so urgent that we cannot
leave it to obtain new subscribers, but rely upon
our friends to do that. They are doing well, and
we hope they will continue so doing.
Look OUT FOR BREAKERS Every subscriber
who owes for the Freeman one year will receive
a bill of what there is behind, and a year in ad-
vance, Immediately. These bills must be paid.
We can not, nor will not, have an account run
over one pear unpaid; and it is of no use to
ask it, and we are satisfied no gentleman will.
We need all our dues to meet our own indebted
ness, and when our bill comes to hand, let the
cash be returned by mail Immediately. There
is no excuse for delay.

The Bradford Telegraph and some Others {
the administration clique of papers in this Stat'

And we call upon every Republican to will
draw his patronage, however small it may b.
