A C Whom
We aro glad to obseyee that onr,suggestion
for holding an Editorial Convention in Belle
fonte, where a union of those attachetl' tethe
cleft, will be-effectively accomplished, is
gaining favor among the editors of the inte
rior, This is a movement of more import
ance than most of our editorial I.Arethren will
discover at first sight—and it is therefore
necessary Unit, some effort should be made,
and that speedily, to bring the subject pro
perly before our friends and' associates.
There au: older members ,of Liu craft than
ourselves ; but., while they 'approve of the
movement, there seems -to be en apathy in
prejmaing some plan,. or publishing some
chart, setting forth realms justifying the
asaembling of such a convention.
We, therefore, offer the following reasons
fur holding a convention:
Ist. The country,-pose have to contend,
aot only with the cheap literature of the
larger cities, but they have fipuidable rivals
in What are called mattonedu weekliett,"
which.. flood the country, corruptipg the
morals of the people, and monopolizing the
flatronage which legitimately belongs to the
country press.
2d. The great increase in the price of all
the necessaries tof life ; the combiruktidu
be
tween all the blanches of industry, render
it necessary that the editors and publikhers
of Pennsylvania should• finite for mutual
protection. They should combine, upon •
common business platform, mid adopt such
a seals or penis, as would advance their own
' interests, and at the same time, not impose
upon the goricrositY of their patron*.
