No Discrimination. i Our estimable friends of the Columbia Regit- { Itr appear to bo much exercised about the Su- | pretnc Court Reports being printed in New Jer- , sey. While wo kuow tho Reporter would do j nothing ^unpatriotic or that would be dctri" mental to the interest of the State, we do not | presume to be his apologist. He is able to de. ( feud himself. The Register, however, complains j because, so it says, it takes work from six to twelve journey men printers in South Carolina. Well, no doubt that is true , but why don't the r Register, upon tho same grounds, "go for" those papers iu tho Stato that are partly printed in ' New York, Baltimore, &c., and those Colleges in South Carolina which have thoir catalogues printed at the North, and those racrchints who got thcir-bill heads. Circulars, &c, printed at the North. We'll bet half a mince pie that at. least fifty journeymen printers are cut out of situations, in this State, by tho "Patent ^ outsides." "Go for 'em," Mr. Register-, don't c discriminate, but give all of them the d?1 while you're about it. Muko all of them have their j printing done at home. j Would it not make a South Carolinian feel liko crnwling through a kuot hole to see hung out iu New York, Baltimore, or Philadelphia, such a a sign ns'this: o 0 "Richard Joucs, Printer of one-half thcCoun- ^ try papers of South Carolina." j 0 D.
