ns- The report of our Collector who has lately
passed through New Hanover and parts of Cum
berland, Sampson and Dupln, is highly honorable
to our subscribers in that section. His remark was,
"that he never such people "-no one TO whom
he applied failed to make effort at payment,
and many borrowed the money for that purpose
spirit like this, and like this alone, can sustain
the public press, and nobly contrasts with the indf
ference, the neglect, and the dishonesty of many.
We find by our exchange papers, that the den-
quency of subscribers to newspapers has assumed
an alarming aspect, and unless there is speedy
and radical reform, press can be sustained that
relies solely on the patronage Of the public. Every
man should feel interested in this subject, who
loves liberty and desires the spread of intelligence.
If independent presses are broken down by their
patrons, and left to be guided by those
which supported by corruption, we may bid
farewell to freedom.
