I. Bunce, editor of the Saratoga Journal, (N. Y.) has transferred his right in that establishment, and will make Litchfield, Ct. the scene of his future political labors.

Mr. B.'s disposition of the accounts of those indebted to him is truly liberal, and exhibits a forbearance uncommon among creditors of the present age. He conducted that paper near five years, during which time he has never instituted a suit against any of his debtors, notwithstanding most of his demands are unadjusted.

On relinquishing the establishment, he has destroyed the notes and accounts of such as are unable to pay, and handed others over to an agent. (neither lawyer, justice or bailiff) "believing that no account is handed over against any one who is not fully able to pay," he expresses a wish that these may be attended to without unnecessary delay.
