SHERIFF'S SALES—Thbe public will bear us witness that notwithstanding the frequent Clamors of all the other papers of the county for Sheriff's patronage ; notwithstanding their attempt to force the Sheriff by public importunity to grant to them what-has been given to us; and nothwithstanding this direct attempt upon the reduction of our patronage; we had little to aay in reply, prefering to give our readers other subjects in which they were more likely to be interested.

" We have given an article or twe merely to show up the animus of our opponents, and toset the matter vt issue in « proper light before the public. The sum of the whole thing is briefly stax ted: The Sherifi bas as freea control under the jaw of his patronage as any merchant has of bis own, and cau do as he pleases with it,and it is just as reasonable to hound a citizen privately and publicly for his advertisements as the Sheriff. The Sheriff has many and responsible duties to perform, and receives light pay comparatively for his ser. viees.— He finds it incumbent on him to simplify bis labors as much as possible, and to this-end selects one paper to publish his sales: Doing sv he but carries out the policy of the seorssionists, Hill & Hupp, who give no patronage to a straight up and down Unigp paper, but select an organ of that character that more nearly accords with their views. Mr. Knowlton ,the Sheriff, claims the same right to patronize a newspaper of his own way of thinking, and gives bis gales to the TRanscripr.
