Mr. F.uitok :?In our In. t we stated that .ni we anticipated "vtying n visit to our native i , District tiio approaching summer, but ow- , jnjt if* ?* oi>i'fin!ion ??!% unforcsci'ii cir- I cuiQstaneos, super-Induced by a multiplicity . ^ of momentous consequences, we were call- ' ^ e I in obedience to, the mandate of our el- J , d.T brother,?whose injunefioya wo are j ever ready to obeiy?to pay a running visit, | . earlier than vve designed, to tlie Palmetto i . .

There was nothing ol* I vital interest transpired on the way down. , We will state, however, that wo were so ; ?j completely housed up in our aforemention- J >y cd vehicle that our chances lor observation i | were rather limited, and lli.e day (Monday I ^ the fith) being one of those days w e "read ! i.q of" \\ e r.re aware tiial our scribbling* arc not I Hi sufficiently characterized by the "iiiultum in parvo," or "jiut bhell" style, as tin? bumn I tn of coticenlrntivencss, the phrenologist tell fu us, is not very fully developed. Hut few, g?. however, attain perfection, or even {jive di general satisfaction, therefore, we have not ti the audacious presumption to think of do- at: ing what your more able and refulgent cor- to respondents have not the honor or satisfaction of doing. To "please all," therefore, w is not our aim or province. Some are too w graphic, seme to.o compendious, some too > t.. prosaic, others two \ersilio, etc., etc., hut ca when we scribble for promiscuous or publie It" reading, we would advise the African pro- te? verb?"Blest are they that speck nothing tl' for-thcynint a guine to be disappointed." But to our subject. We wish in our succeeding remarks to ! reason w ith the citizens ecumenically, of I ^Lancaster, and those natives of said l)is- '^s trict, who are now residents in other parts j L of the South and West. During our short j u sojourn in tho village of I-nneastcr, we 1 Ht s|ieiit a good part of our time in the proof. % or nnli-room of the oftbc of the Lnnur.n, and there, we were forcibly impressed with u tjio un.iigputabie fact, \idelieit: that the ' .duties of an Editor are not so easy as some e might imagine. His duties are many, his 1,1 Jabors ^irksome. Now in view of inany n" things, wo think, and shall undertake i<> " show that every Lancastrian should subscrit e (pay in advance) for the Lodger. Our ?' young, esteemed and worthy friend was ( raised, educated and married in S. C., Lan caster, mostly?sod i??ms disposed to can- i tinue there for the edification and good ol' I the commonwealth. Every one is ready to admit the utility and convenience of n Village, or District newspaper, hut we are certain of one fact, to-wit: that you do not [ and cannot properly, or sufficiently appreci- I ,in ate the worth of the Lodger, while you are | re vidted by it regularly every week, and if W( you wish to lest the matter to your own I L.,j discomfort and inconvenience, just cease to ?? send the "w ild horse" for a time, so that i t|, the Ledger will he forced to discontinue ' |y those accustomed and regular periodica), j nr gracious visits, and you will doubtless, bo j || .convinced that you know not how to csti- j a mate the worth of your District paper- Wo | |{ . know the citizens of 1-uncustor to be a , reading apatriotic people, and there is , pj 110 other source that affords the same . \v amount of reading matter as that you get ! |;| through the columns of a well edited peri- | 0, odical, and the Ledger is certainly one of j m thut character. Now, that some will find i fault is a sort of natural consequence, an |1( un^vpjdgble result. Jt Is said by physiog- | vv nomisl that there are no two faces identi- j \\ cal, more or lees dissimilitude in the con- { formation and features or lineaments of all physiognomies ; and that there is equally as great diversity in the minds and taste of men. If this theory be true, (and we subscribe to it) it is nothing marvellous that nn editor should fail to please "all" in his editorials and selections. We believe jt was the celebrated Locke, who compared la all infantile minds to a piece of blank paper, I! upon which aqy kind ot an impression to might be made, and children brought up if under very different circumstances, raised \\ in dill'crent climates and educated by men j di of adverso persuasions would naturally | poiue to (Idle rent conclusions, ami j>ut ?Iihsimilar estimates upon the woras and la- er bora of mankind. an Tlli". jou know is a progressive age, in and if we would not be accounted behind u ihe age, we must read and keep oursel- h; ves posted upon the topics of the day. We speak und boast of "fcJtates' rights," dernoc- fr fucy "woman's will"?Mrs. Emerson?and ni all that; but how shall we know our rights? cj how shall we defend our rights?repel ag- 01 gressions, correct usurpations and abuses, nt Unless we read the newspapers, and keep th ourselves Informed upon the great questions \> of the day.
