The Country Press.

ltmay not be apparent to any but the pub
fishers Of Country Newspapers, that the en-
croachmcnts Of the city capital and concen-
trated power, are steadily undermining the
foundations of Country Journalism. Within
the last ten, yes, within the last five years, the
comparative interest in Country papers has de-
creased onc-half. The papers in the cities have
grown rapidly forward, while the country,
lacking capital, field, circulation and enter
prise, have not only stood still, but, like the re-
ceding objects near lightning train, seemed to
move backward. Their power is but a myth
their worth but q straw,nnd their days are num-
barcd; and in ten years we shall not expect
to see one type left standing.
But why this accusation? What can We do ?
Can we do anything? Rather ask, is it worth
while to do anything? Certainly not, unless
the expectation is to meet the outlay. The
publisher is Of no account unless the people
patroniza; but You cannot expect tie people to
patronizo unless the paper deserves patronage.
In the first place, there are about onc-hall
too many papers, and those weak, sickly con-
Germs, with but few hundred Subscribers,
should be taken care Of as wise farmer doe.
his hungry sheep in the FalI--knock them in
the head, pull of the wool, and give their car.
cases to the dogs On the other hand, those
which have healthy constitutions should have
better feol-moro life and enterprise.
1t cannot be expected that paper will b.
patronized unless it is worthy of it, and the
Country Press should bestir themselves, and see
to it that their papers contain some items o
interest not taken word for word from the city
papers, and rejecting only city interests Look
after the mining, manufacturing, schools, and
above all, agriculture. Scarcely paper in TIN
State gives an item Of agricultural news from
one month to another. One other great fea
turo Is their cnmity to tAcir cotemporarics-
Why, there are papers in the State whose ed
itors have spent time enough the past two year
in boratins the FREENANsto have gained an in
dependent fortune had they paid the same at
tention to paying business. This hatred c
the FREEMAN, and cnyyof its prosperity,
all right 50 far as we care, but more none
can be made in improving your own paper tina
in abusing the FREEMAN Tho best jockey
put the whip upon their own nags, instead
their competitors. Let the Country Pres
begin to wake up, be interested in each suggo
ton OF benefit to the people, and make pape
devoted to the welfare, prosperity and happ
ness Of the State, instead of Boston or Ne
York City If papers in the same localit
would unite their concerns, and devote as niue
labor to one as is now given to two, we shou,
see a vast improvement.
1t is high time the Press and the people COZ
sidered the propriety of new impetus to Il
Country Journals, and considered whether
were best to let them die out entirely.

One ExcusE.-The WorthS1 while exort-
ing the Democrats to be at the polls, says;
" Undoubtedly, a large majority of the Dem
ocrats in this State are in favor OF Douglas, as
shown by the vote at the September election
In Difference to this sentiment, we have placed
the Douglas electoral ticket at the head of cur
columns. In spirit Of Cancellation and for
bearance, we also give place to the Breckin-
ridge and Bell electoral tickets. 1t is in a
spirit Of harmony that we thus present them
In the present state of our party, it is only by
a combination OF these elements on one electoral
ticket, in doubtful States, that we can hope to
defeat the Republicans. In Vermont, we would
have cyory Democrat exercise his first choice
and if, as we believe, the majority is largely
for Douglas, let us forbear with those of our
friends who may differ with us, and who may
vote for Breckenridge or Bell. Let the Democ
racy be as united as possible, and, though they
may not succeed, let their action be such as will
be groundwork and guarantee of success il
the future"
In this the Star says its first choice is for q
man who cannot carry an electoral vote in the
Nation and it also gives occasion for some Gu
rous suggestions as to how many pieces the
Dug Brock Bell-Everett party is divided into
and how they expect harmony" by "going
it blind for all three.
