LrTo our Rsaders.

We have been surprised. and somewhat
grieved 70 learn that-our neighbor, the
Prsss, regards the publication of a paper
on last Friday morning byus as an act Of
grave diseOurtesy to itself The inference
drawn by the Pres is, that We do not
"aeree with the Administration in the
Fremont Affairs very extraordinary In
ference, it seems to Us, tor we cannot see
how Fremont, "or any other man" is mix
ed up with the Fast Day.
Ia view of statements made By our CO.
temporary, in Saturday morning's issue,
perhaps 1t is proper We.shOuld make this
StAtsment in relation to this matter: On
Tuesday, I've believe ie VAS one Of the
editors Of the Pres called upon rs, and
solicited Us to enter into an arrangement
to issue no paper on the morning after the
Fast Day, saying that II We would not
publish, they would not, but II We
did, they would. We at first de-
elined the proPosal-stated that We never
had suspended ON similar occasions and
did not wish to ON that, but being insisted
on said that we would be able TO determine
by next day, and 50 the matter ended for
the time. We did not promise TO notify
them Of our determination, though 1t may
have been 90 understood. Subsequently,
however, between that time and Thursday
one of the editors of this paper informed
the gentleman who had CALLED on US that
the proprietors Of the Iateltigeneer had de-
termintd 70 publish. So much for the
assertion Of the Press that they received
no notice of our intention. We Published
Friday morning and the Pres; did not, al
though they informed US that five did so
they would. Their reason for not publish
ing they have already gtsen to the world.
Our reason for Publishing we may briefly
state.

ing because our business, unlike al 9TH
er, could not be suspended without dam
aging others. Our subscribers pay for sig
papers per week, and II they do not get
them they have right to complain, espe-
eially in times like these. Weueyer be-
fore suspended on a similar occasion, hav-
ing done soDonIy on the, three holidays,
Christmas, New Years and the Fourth Of
July. We think that is quite as much as
our readers epghttO lose. Not that il is not

in suspension. We would save the sum
psld for getting. ont one days issue, and
get little relaxation, which printers need
a. badly asanybody. ButRhAt We would
have saved in bulk our readers would have
lost in Titles, aad We believe in doing as
little OF that sort of thing As possible.
As to our devotional duties in relation
70 the Fast, Wethoaght We might work aud
pray both At once, and that IN our humble
sphere we might really do more good in
support OF tie administration aud the
