state Convention of weekly Publishers

state Convention OF Weekly Publishers.
The undersigned, Publishers Of
Weekly Papers in Ohio, believing that
the business interests of tho craft
would be promoted by adopting uni
form scale of prices, corresponding to
the demands Of the times, respectfully
urge the attendance of all the members
of the press, at Convention to be
held at Columbus,
On Wcdaesday, tic 18th Of January, 49,
AS this meeting is designed for the
common benefit, we hope TO see every
publisher in tho State present.
The great advance in paper, ink,
type, &C., requires an advance in sub;
scription, advertising and job work /;
hence the Importance Of concert OF ac.
ton. Vhis, VIC think, can be better
accomplished by free consultation in
the way proposed.
The greatest grievance of the press
arises from the extraordinary rise IN
paper, now nearly three times its for
NOR price, and which, it is believed, is
the result mainly Of an unjust combl-
nation among the manufacturers OF
paper. 1t will bo cur duty to memo
rializo Congress to repeal the prohib-
itory duty on paper. The voice OF
the entire press ofthe State, rcproscn-
ting both the great parties, ana the
various religious denominations, whose
aggregate weekly circulation is not
less than half n million sheets, can
not but DO respected by the reprc'en,
tativcs Of tho pooplo. The Lcgis'a
turo will be in session, and, we do not
doubt, that it will unito with us in de,
mandmg the repeal Of the 20 per cent
duty alInded to.
Let US, thea, ono and all, resolve to
attend the Convention and take coun-
sci together. 70 make its delibcra
tions authoritative, all, or a large ma
jority of the weekly newspapers oI
Ohio, should be represented
