THE PUBLIC LEDGER
WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1812.
Those Editors who exchange with this Paper, will please to forward theirs as usual.
There are several Papers with whom we exchange, and which we value, that send us their Country Paper. We shall be gratified by the receipt of their Daily Paper.
Ledger-Office, 10th August 1812.
On the 3d inst. the Editor of this paper notified his intention to relinquish the publication of the Ledger. If he was to consult his own wishes, and he believes his own interest, he should have carried his intentions into execution, and terminated his editorial duties with the publication of this day's paper. But the wishes of a number of his patrons, and particular friends, conveyed in terms flattering and friendly, have prevailed over his former determination. The Editor therefore resumes his labours with a declaration to preserve the course he has uniformly pursued.
The Editor hopes for a punctual discharge of all arrearages to his paper, without which it will be impossible for him to perform his engagements to the public, with any satisfaction to his patrons, or credit to himself.
It is the Editor's intention, after reasonable notice, to stop the paper of every person who does not pay up what is due, without exception.
Notwithstanding the Editor will continue to conduct the Publick Ledger, he considers himself at liberty to relinquish the Paper, whenever he can be succeeded by an Editor, who may be acceptable to his friends.
