Newspaper Suspension.
The Chicago Leader of May 12th comes to us with the valedictory of its editors, Messrs. S. P. Rounds and W. P. Brannan. The Leader was a literary newspaper, and was conducted with much ability. The proprietors state that it is to be indefinitely suspended. The causes assigned are, the increasing care demanded by a growing business in Mr. Rounds' type foundry and printing departments, and the withdrawal of his brother, upon whom he had depended for assistance in the business management of the establishment. We believe there is another cause which might appropriately be added to the above two. Experience heretofore has pretty clearly shown that when our western literary papers die, they die principally of the New York Ledger. We sincerely hope the suspension of the Leader may not be of long duration. [The Illinois State Democrat, Wednesday May 23, 1860 ]
