ced by member Of the Ohio Editorial
Convention, at its last session: What
would you think Of farmer who had raised
q thousand bushels Of wheat anl who shall
sell IL TO a thoussnd different persons,
scattered all over the State, and agree 10
wait year for his pay from each Of them,
and II one half Of them did not pay at the
end of be year, he should give them aa.
other bushel Of wheat and agree to wait
another years; How long would such a
farmer escape bankruptcy? Probably, no,
very mach longer than publishers of news
papers who follow such practice. 1t costs
the editor of a weekly paper as much TO
supply q thousand subscribers with il for
one year as it costs q farmer to raise q
thousand bushels of wheat The farmer
tells his grain in bulk, aud either takes the
cash, or uo,e just as good as cash, for il
upon delivery The editor, cannot see his
thousand different persons living 10 differ
ent towns 10 the county, and different
counties in the State, aud he must wal
until the end of the year before he can ge
his payment, aud then he depends wholly
upon the hunesty aod responsibility of the
subscribers, for il is impossible that bt
should know the character Of all of hi,
subscribers 1t will not pay him to go
or send round the country or State 10 col
iect dues. 1t would cost more than the

Although that gentleman has thus far pre-
served his accustomed relioence, as TO his SEN

which our country is Engaged, it has been no

that his sympathies were not to say the least,
on the side of the government. II has been
known to some that he has thought the Union
DOT worth preserving unless slavery could be

stlon as presiding officer OF charitable FAIR,
which bad Tor its object the raising Of fluids
