The Ili'htrtnnd Examiner, in an excellent ar ticle on this subject, makes thiFfoHowing truthful allusion : “Newspaper* are to a town what its advertise ments are to its merchants. They do for a town gratuitously what advertising dot's for a man of business at a high cost. They concentrate pub* lie attention upon its building*, its rights, ‘I on?,’ and wonders, its attractions of every name aid class, uppermost to the public, mind. They mo into every nook and corner of the surrounding country, into every man’s door, and to every man's fireside ; they go abroad lo great distances into oilier communities, among strangers, esc I t ing an interest among its concerns, and spread* Ing information of its trade and attractions Wher ever they go. The more I tic public at large hear and lead of a town or country, the more they are tempted to see, visit, and explore it.— What would a merchant be if his name were Unknown to the public, and his business were as obscure as bis name ! Wliat would a merchant’s High board ever the street door of his store do in attracting trade, it lie did not send it with a cat alogue of his wares, in a newspaper, to every man’s door ? Who would be tempted to visit a town that bad no newspapers, and which they should hear of only accidentally u:;d once In n year or a life lime V A good newspaper gives more importance to n town than all other agencies combined. What passion is more universal than the passion lor reading newspapers and learning the nows!— What disposition is moro general and uncontrol lable, than the disposiiion to visit places that we hear of and read in every newspaper that comes to our door ?

By an agreement entered iqto between the Proprietors of the Albany Patriot ami the Courier, we have'd, e.ided to adopt, henceforth, the CASH SYSTEM for subscriptions to our respective papers. Therefore, ive shall enter no subscriber's name upon our books until we have received Die cash in hand. We are compelled lo adopt this rule in self defence. We cannot af ford lo pay cash lor papers Irik, &c., ant wait one, two. and three years lor subscribers to pay up. The losses we have hitherto sustained by the credit system, have taken off what little profit we might have made had all of our subscribers paid their dues promptly. This new rule will, we Inis’, be alike benefi cial lo subscribers and publishers. Every liberal minded person will at once see the necessity of its adoption. Those of our subscribers who are more than one year in arrears, will please remit lo ns the money, at once, nr else inform us if they ever intend lo pay, that we tiny act accordingly. The credit system, so prevalent in the South, js the main cause of the present “hard times.” If you pay Peter 1.0 will pay Paul, Paul will pay Jacob, and so on ; and thus two dollars, by successive changes from hand to hand, would in due course of time pay two thousand.

The voluntary aid we have received in sub scriptions from our Iriends is gratifying to us.— Without an effort on our part this paper has at tained a circulation of between COO and 700 cop ies.

From the tenor of the dispatches we judge that but little hope of peace remains.

We tender our sincere thanks to the gentle men of the Patriot for their good wishes and for, theirjiearty welcome, as expressed, on ourjacce/ stan lo the fraternity in Georgia. We will m deavor to cultivate good feeling in our raps, and hope lo be always ready to extend courte sies. T 1 Our neighbors say that our salutatcry is “ratj er too strongly tinctured with Know Nolhingipi to be altogether palatable to their Democratic taste.” Is not that an acknowledgement that they believe no democrat would sanction the! principles of the American party? Mr.Ellis,the Editor of the American Organ, at Washington, is a Democrat, and thousands of as pure Demo crats as ever graced the ranks of the Patriot’s party, are now found “cheek by jowl” with the Know Nothings. Scores of good Democratic papers have openly avowed their favor of the new: party, and we would not be at all astonished if! in less than one year, the Pa/riot should be fount among them. We dare say, at least, one of the getlllemcn of the Patriot is convinced that tht America!} party will triumph in Georgia, in tin approaching gubernatorial contest, and that Im pride alone,, prevents him from making a publia confession ol the fact. They feel it liicir rfutjf oppose the American party, to keep up their cour age, as a frightened school boy does, by whisljr ing, in passing through a grave yard in the dust of the evening. We would advi-e our neighbors to “take it easy we know lire dose is unpala table, but, nevertheless it will terminate in pur.- fication. Our country needs patgrng, ai.d Dr.. Sam will see that the proper remedies are judi ciously administered. We would further advise our neighbors o study carefully tbe platform of the American Parly, we published last week. It was takin fionr the organ of the Know Nothings, or Amer ican party, and, therefore, must he correct. As our neighbors have harped strongly upon rei giou.-i intolerance, charging our party with per secuting men on account of their religious opin ions, we in.-ert, below, the eighth section ciftiie Platform, that they may he undeceived : “We shall oppose and protest againstall abridg ments of religious liberty, Holding it ap a cardi nal maxim, that religious failti is a question be tween each individual anil liis God, and over which no politic 1 1 government, or other l umtn power, can righltully exorcise any supervi.-ioo cr control, at any lime, in any place, or in any form.” Does that smack of religious intolerance ? I tliere a word in the whole platform of principles of the American party,denying the right to wor ship God according to the dictates of yettt own conscience ? If there is, we would be glad to have it pointed out tons. Our neighbors are respectfully invited to dissect tbe platform and give us the result of their labors. , Why Book Table.

He “most devoutly wished that we had not a'foreigner amongjus, except the Mar quis de LsFayette, who acts upon very different I principles from those which govern tbe rest.”— No one doubts tbe purity of principles that actu ated Washington in bis counsels. He was a man who commanded respect and admiration from foe as well as friend. And the lamented | Clay—a statesman and a pure Patriot—it is ! well known what bis sentiments were, in regard j |to foreigners. He was, too, a Native American i in principle, which, doubtless caused liis deleat for the Presidency. And by whom was lie de feated ?

Cien, Washington on Knew Aioth ■ugiMis. i The following letter, as ,ve learn froth the Phi ladelphia Daily NeWs, is taken from Sparks’ pub lication of the Washigton papers : White Plains, July 25,1778. To Gov. Mounts, Esq —Dear Sir: The design of this is to touch cursorily upon a subject .of very great importance to the well being of these State.-; much more so than will appear at first view. I mean the appointment of so rfiany foreigners to office of high rank and trust in our service. The lavish manner in which rank has hitherto been bestowed on those gentlemen will certainly be productive of one or the other of two evils— either to make us despicable in live eyes of Eu rope, or become a means of pouring them in up on us like a torrent, and adding to our present burdn. Cut it is neither the expense or trouble of them I most dread; there is an evil more ex'ensit c in its nature and fatal in its consequences to be up prehended, and that is the driving ol all our offi cers out of the service, nd throwing not only our own army, but our militaiy councils, entirely in to the hands of foreigners. The officers-, my dear sir, on whom you must depend for the defence of this cause distinguished by length of service and military merit, will not submit much, if any longer, the unnatural promo lion of men over them, who have nothing more than a little plausibility, unbounded pride ami ambition, and a perseverance in the application to iuppoit their pretensions, not to be resisted hut by uncommon firmness: men, who, in the first instance, tell you they wish for nothing more than the honor of serving in so glorious a cause as volunteers, the riext day solicit rank without pay ; the day following waul money advanced to them, nnd in the course of a week want lari her protec tion. The expediency and policy of the measure requires to be considered, and whether it is con sistent with justice or prudelice to promote these military lorltine hunleis at the hazard f our army. iWon Stenben, I now find is also, wan ing to quit.

Adieu. I am.most sincerely yours, G. WASHINGTON. Building Ac., in Albany. In taking a somewhat more extensive stroll through our city, a few days since, than is usu al with us, we were struck with the number of buildings recently erected or now in process of erection. Besides the Episcopal Church and the County Buildings, there are several.elegant pri vale residences going up, which spenk well for the taste of our citizens. Numerous houses ol less pretentions have recently been built in vari ous parts of town ; and additions and improve ments have been made toothers. One very gratifying fact which must strike every observer, is the improved ta?to exhibited in several of the buildings now going up. Hith erto our people have been somewhat behind the times in this matter, and we are pleased to see that a more elevated standard is being adopted. It not only adds to the beau e of our town, but it shows that oar citizens feci a permanent interest here, and desire to mike tiieir homes pleasant and attractive. Judge I.umpkiu.

P-resident Pierce will find it ad tficull matter to find in the ranks of the oppn-iunn. a man so well fitted lor the position as Judge Lump kin.—[Federal Union.
