TO ALL WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.


The next number of the Washingtonian
will complete four months Of its existence.
We have labored hard thus far without any
remuneration, and our situation admonishes us,
that to continue working against wind and
tide, as we have done for the last five months,
would be an injustice to ourself and family.
After the issue Of our next number, we intend
suspending the publication of the Washingto-
nian, until such time as the community shall
come up and give it proper and substantial
support. The list of subscribers we shall re-
tain, in order that the publication may be re-
sumed when we see our way clear. 1t gives us
pleasure to notice, that the course of this pa
per has been highly approved of by our cotem-
porares in all parts Of the United States; and
although we have been unassisted in our edi-
torial department for several weeks past, ow
ing to the inability of the paper to pay for
editorial talent we have not heard of single
exception to the mode Of conducting it by any
one of it's subscribers. In the outset we deter
mined to steer clear of all cliques of would-be
leaders, and to advocate the cause by su6stan-
tial truths. This course has probably lost us
half dozen subscribers. They are men who
believe in the following lines, which we have
read somewhere


"The Editor who wills to please,


Must humbly crawl upon his knees,


And kiss the hand that beats him;


Or, if he dare attempt to walk,


Must toe the mark that others chalk,


And cringe to all that meet him."


With us such men bark up the wrong tree.
Our course has always been rightup and down,
endeavoring to arrive at the truth, and never
afraid to speak it, no matter whom it might
strike. .":
