AN EDITORIAL BRUTUS.
Hear us for our debts, and get ready, that you may pay ; trust us, we have need, as you have long been trusted ; acknowledge your indebtedness, and dive into your pockets $hat you may promptly fork o.ut. If there be any among you — one single patron — that j don't owe us something, then to him \ we say, step aside, consider yourself a gentleman. If the rest wish to know J why we dun them, this is our answer : Not that we care about ourselves but our creditors do. "Would you rather that we went to gaol, and.you go free, than pay your debts and keep us moving? As we agreed, we have worked for yott ; aB we contracted, we have furnished the paper -to you ; but as you don't pay us, we dun you. Here are agreements "for job work, contracts for subscriptions, promises for long credit, aad duns for deferred payment. Who is there so ignorant that he don't take a paper ? Tf any, he need not speak, for we don't
me&n him. Who is there so green that he don't
advertise 3 If any let him slide, he ain't the fchap
either. Who is there so mean that "he don't pay the printed ? If any, let him speak, -for he's, the man we're after. >— "-Auckland -Penny Journal.'"
