Spirit Of The Age

We have never before received so many complaints as to the irregularity with which our paper is received by our subscribers. We assure our friends that our present office arrangements for mailing forbid the possibility even of the fault being with us.—Every paper now goes regularly into the Post Office without fail, well wrapped and carefully directed. The same complaints we find are also made in regard to other papers, even to a greater extent than against The Church Intelligencer. The fault must lie somewhere in our Postal arrangements. The state of our country, may possibly be some excuse.

We can also say, with our respected co-temporary, that we have never before had so many complaints from our subscribers.—We know our mailing Clerks are not infallible, and therefore may sometimes make mistakes—but we also know that they strive to be very particular and very accurate, and that nine tenths of the failures are not attributable to them. We do our very best to have all our subscribers promptly and regularly served with the paper, and when we have the missing Nos. on hand, take great pleasure in forwarding duplicate copies to those failing to receive certain Nos. But it frequently happens we have no copies of the missing issues on hand—in that event of course we cannot supply them; nor have we time, frequently, to write to those applying, telling them this. If they fail to receive the Nos. applied for, they may rest assured we have none to send. It is greatly to our interest, and we sincerely desire, all our subscribers should receive their papers, and we will do our best to ensure it.
