An eminent; authority who i" a journalist of Fepute, has said that the time Ims arrived when the people of Palmerston should hare a daily paper. Well. we a,<jree with him to aceiHin extant— that is, that the people of Paimeraton and din'rict should he provided with a doily paper, not that Palmers'on can. publish a daily paper, and wr <hink experience has proved the contrary. Yon cannot make bricks without straw, and" howover~flattering it may be to ns as tDwnsmen to be able tD boast of the possestion.of a dai'y_p>per, the melancholy fact remains tbat-itisimpossible lev a journalisi to find local pabulum to fill hi* columns, or money to pav for .original teleerrams ; and tience "padding " has to be respited; t j m the first cace, and ft rtid made upon the telegraph colnmns of contemporaries fo* the pecond.
