RE- Again we call the attention of our readers to the earnest efforts of
 Northern journals for Southern pat
 ronage. We lately saw number or the Metropolitan Record, in which the
 editor cries out against persecution,
 and says some Radical scoundrels and
 liars have been misrepresenting him in
 these parts. He has sent many num- bers of the paper containing these big words to this section of the country, thinking, doubtless, new subscribers will be the result. Now Radicals won't misrepresent him, they like the paper it does them more good than the Tribune or any paper published North. And the thing we want to say is this, why will the people of Arkansas, or to come nearer home, why will the people of Prairie county continue to take and pay for such papers as the Record. and others of like character, when little reflection will teach them that those papers do us of the South more harm than the most violent or gans of Radicalism. It is this class of papers that misrepresent North and South; that spend their energy in flaming flame, all not so much for principle as for money. If they are and have been so full of love for the South, why did they not show it but little while back when blood was its test? Too many of these papers are circulated in the South. If our people need other than their local journals, we have them in the South that should be patronized. Another reason is, we cannot afford to send one dollar North they bleed us too much, we need our money at home, and home institutions should be patronizcd above all others.
