{ We Ike The spunk our neighbcr Of
the Telegram msni1ests in his CON.
illusions regarding the City printing,
md the determination NOT to place
t. sadverfsing columns ON an equal
footing With those papers that have
lsap than one fourth the BONA rrDE
e1rcuhtion' 4 has! A lofty, digni-
ned spirit il certainly is that actu-
ated the Telegram, during the late
competition for the city's Job print
ing and advertising for the ensuing
year, to withhold its ibid" We
ca commend this disposition on it's
part Tor didn't the ssOld Palladium,
for Tie very same good and sufi..
cient reasons, refrain from putting
in it, ibid" alsos OF course it did.
How GOULD two papers, ike the
Telegram and Palladium, 90 far for
get their STANDING IN this communi-
ty Of nearly twelve thousand inhabi-
tanks- with one printing Office for
every two thousand four hundred
men, women and children in the
city debt Of nearly q quarter Of
. million Of dollars hanging ovre It,
and . haf-fnished City School
Law pending in one branch of the
Legislature, with divers other ad-
vantages, ''too numerous to men,
ton how COULD they, 1.-THE afore-
said Telegram and Palladium, for
get their own superiority over all
other competitors, as to enter, into
. bidding competition with those in
the same business with themselves!
Place our advertising columns on
an equal footing with those that
have LESS than one-fourth Of oua
bona-6de circulation! Couldn't do
it'll Twould be preposterous in
the extreme!! What! two papers,
that have circulation Of nearly
i've thousand eight hundred and
'sixty-two- and-a-hAH- Q. the Tel
egram numbering 3741 IA, and the
Palladium 2,121 la; to think for
one moment to be brought SO ex-
tremely Low as to ask the city coun
cil for . job of advertising, &c,
alongside Of the Independent, Haus-
freund, and the Times!! Twas not
to be thought of!!l Ye Gods!
could it be expected that even q
Roman Senate or City Council
could long debate, ON the course to
be pursed! No! . thousand times
no.! And, hence, and therefore,
the Telegram and Palladium didn't
Ibid, and it couldn't be expected
that they should! We are glad the
dignity Of our columns is preserved
alongside Of the Telegram. We've
both made a wonderful escaped
Yea, verify! we have ever lastingly
saved the regulations Of our pa

heels of an enterprise that viii NOT
only rebound to our credit as journ-
lists, but greatly assist in building
up the fair fame Of our magnifcisnt
+ City. Our citizQe didn't know, noa
our Council even dream of the m.
petus our TWO papers intended u
give the best and dearest interests
Of the City and its inhabitants, b.
the introduction Of the celebrated
Bullock Presses into our Offices, e
enable Us to supply the increasing
demands. Twenty thousand N
hour 10 what we both WANT in thu
press hna to SUPPLY the subscriber
who are determined to take no Other
papers but the Telegram and Pal
ladium! The cost Of these presses
will preclude either Of the papers
now published in our city, from in
vesting, and hence, THAT was anoth
-er potent reason why we did no
choose to place ouR advertising

printing, son an equal footing Will
those of papers that have less tha,
one fourth the BONA E1DE circulation
WE have!! They can't spend fort.
or fifty thousand dollars for Bsl
lcck Press! and that consideration q
lone, is sufficient encouragementfo
US to go ahead; and we can snal
our editorial fingers in their ed

can glory in the fact that our co
