It is "decidedly wrong to encourage rr nter to embark in the enJcrpiise o! establishing newspapers, and then become indifferent about supporting them. We have published the Advocate nearly four months, and while we have been piven a fair circulation, very few have felt sufficient interest in our success, to pay for their pa per Our expenses are cmi, which must lie paid every week, aud we think it exceed, -inuly unjust to embarrass our effurts to publish u good paper, by neglecting to pay promptly. Four weeks ago, we eueloscd in our paper billn to the amount of about two hundred dollars, and ltd one person Inns rerprnitft.il. This treatment is shame ful aud we trust that we shall have no farther occasion to call attention to it. If you do dot think the paper worth the price we ask lor it, pay up and siop it, and not longer subject us to the expense of furnish ing you with reading. Wo notice our friend of the St. JFaryV Gazette . is receiving the same shabby treatment, and while ho is also furnishing liis patrons with an excellent paper they manifest the sumo indiiTereticc that our sub scribers do, about paying. To those who have interested themselves in behalf of the paper, wo feel exceedingly thankful, and they of course will not feel that tins article has the least reference to themselves.
