Country Press.—The Albany Journal
well says:——
We consider it a matter of the highest
political and social consequence that the
country Newspapers of the State of New
York should be strengthened and main-
tained. It will be an evil day in the his-
tory of our civilization, when an aggran-
dized City Press crushes the rural Jour-
nals—if that day shall ever come. The
very best thought, the very wisest im-
pulse, of the great municipal hot-bed,
where millions of every grade and temper
chafe daily together, cannot profitably be
taken at the firesides of our farm-houses
in exchange for the spirit and simple wis-
dom of rural Democracy.
