WEDNESDAY, MAY 17. 1813
We think there is now no doubt but
Gov. Porter will refuse to approve the
bonds of the State Pr inter elected by the
Legislature, a few days be tot e the adjourn
ment. We publish to-day ihe opinion of
Attorney General Johnson, which may be
regardel as shad twing forth the views of
the Governor on this vuestion.
We bad supposed that this fruitful
source of annoyance and discord was set
tled for at least three years; and that
the annual opening of our L egisla.
ture would not be disgraced by the scenes
of intrigue and corruption that generally
attended the election of a puLlic printer.
But it appears that his Excellency desires
it to be otherwise, and will have the ques

ture, to disturb its deliberations and to
' waste its time
The best cure for hard times.— A Maine
paper gives the following prescription for
the cure , of that affecting malady called
''Hard Times;" which is surely innocent
-_in itself and can do no barn if it should

we hope that nrne will decline giving it a
- trial, merely because his neighbors may
be Ece plie of its medical qualities. Here

—reduce professional feee—be careful of
health, that no time be lost by sickness—

your town, county or state, rather than
what is imported, and thus keep all the

all these things the times will improvt.'

—Some of our citizens descried a large

on which there appeared a human being.
A skiff was manned and rowed out within
a abort distance of the log, when lo! a stout
negro fellow was astraddle of it. In at

'perilous situation,' he merely waved I is

IL niers and the puhl is generally, that not withstanding
the unprecedented sales at the Three Big, Doors, during

a`Silrei that ail articles offered at 6ia store are manufac
tured from FRESH GOODS, purchaseein the Eastern

In consrunence of the n.ultiplication of slop shops In

cast off garments of former seasons. from th• eastern el.
ties, the public should be caution= to ascertain the char.

the mere offal! of New York and Philadelphia stop

gains' these impositions. and they may rely on the fact
that no eqabitshment that advertises eastern made Clot •
Ina, can give as good an article or as advantageousbar.
gains as can be had at the "Three Big Doors."
The public will please remember that all the subseri•
g trmetts are made In this city, by competent work
and not gathered up like the goods now offered by
the -birds of passage" from the shreds and !latches of
eastern slop shops. It well always be his endeavor to
maintain the reoutal lon that the "Three Big Doors'
