Some people raise objections to this
class Of papers because they do not
contain sufficient news, especially hons

ing the editors OF important transact
ions, which have just occurred, but ac
tnally head them of, by passing silent

late what justice says they should only
have disclosed to an editor. This is
not the worst feature,with many Of them.
They fail to take their home paper but
are very sure to steal an opportunity to
peruse its columns. Such we know is
the fate of the Transcript, with a few
even in this town. With such a class
Of men for patrons paper could not be
supported in any county, and yet we
believe they would blush with shame
and regret, in answer to the enquiries
OF their eastern friends, that no paper
IS published in their county. For the
