The rights Of editors and publishers of papers
have been too long neglected. Justice will never
be done unless. themselves assert their nghts
and enforce the most rigid rules, which IN the
end will be found alike salutary to the public and
beneficial to those engaged IN the press. Pub
fishers of papers have been so long imposed upon
by the community at larges that they are eonsid-
cred TO some extent degraded class OF beings,
when in fact there is vocation in life so honor
able, deserving of so high consideration, produc-
tive of so much good, class that exerts so power
full an influence. 1t is known to be proyerbIal tor
the debtors to newspaper publishers to consider
their demands as the last to be paid -debts to
which there is attached no moral obligations and
which they can refuse to pay with justice and
honor: hence, it is incumbent upon the conduc-
tors of the press to assert their own nights and
resolve, severally and jointly, to bring all patrons
Of newspapers under the same obligations that at
;ach to other contracts, or always remain IN pow
erty and want, with thousands due them from the
most solvent men in the country
