Attention District Rsarlars!
We ask the spceial attention of our suh
Ecribors and readers in tho District to th
following just and very sensible remarks <;
a New York pr.pcr:
"We occasionally rcceivo lot tors in whic
the writers express an intention tn sto
thoir country or village paper, aiul tnke on
of our publications instead. Wo always rc
gret to receive such intimation. We thin]
a niau ought to support his own paper fir*
and then if he can afford to takf a papr
from a distance, let him do so, and wn aha
bo happy to furnish him with tho '-Life I
lustrated." The country press, in our opit:
ion, is the most important in its effect o
the enlightenment of tho nation. It oor
veys in tbe thousand rills, intelligence t
nearly every homo in the country. Th
country press then ought to receive a cot
dial support. Every placo should try ti
have its paper of such a character that th
people could be justly proud of it. Ti
this cud let them pay promptly, advertise
liberally, recommend warmly, and in ever;
way stand by their editor as long as the)
couscicntiously can."

no defence from us. No matter how w<

Neither is it necoesary to defend oui

wnat has our immediate representative, tlx
gallant Brooks, been wanting in duty, fidelity
or attachment to the interests of his oonstit
