We hone each Of these gentlemen will
accept the agency, and that each will do
his part to send US good list of subscri-
,bers from his respective neishborhood.
We will just say to the friends of
candidates for Office, that if they ex-
pect to extol them through the col
umns of this paper, they should at
least be Consolidate enough to send
sufficient amount of change to pay
the cost of putting their illusions in
type. We cannot consent to have
our paper used for the purpose of
getting a particular pet into fat
position unless the matter is paid
for as other Advertising is. 1t has
been the habit heretofore to impose
upon publishers in this respect; but
so far as the Register is concerned,
that way of doing business has been
.utoed. The public are not interest
ed in such articles, and they are on
ly written to help some particular
man into Office. No candidate, or no
friend of candidate, should ask us
to publish these articles without pay.
Such communications coming to us
without the necessary cash accom-
panying them, will, hereafter be
thrown into the waste-basket. "Vo.
ter" will understand from this, the
reason his well written words of
praise and cxaltation Of one of the

office. is not published. We may Of
fend, but we must protect ourself,
our family, and our patrons, let it
make angry who it will.
