extra Statesman? The other day was showl
aparcel ofthose lying extras which was handed
to a respectable man cf this county by Pos
.Naster--yes Posr MASTER who can receive
them exempt from postagc--a Post Master toe
of another townand county--for the purpose
of distribution, to influence the fall election
This Post Master who knows that the people
where he lives and who support him, II say
who support him, for he gets his support from
postage and at least four-fifths of all the post
ago he gets comes from the whigs) are oppo
sed to him in politics---is so lost TO what be-
longs to his position that he hesitatcs not te
use his office SO supported by wings, to build
upthe cause Of their enemies. 1t is, in my opin.
ion, corrupt and an ant.republican use Of of.
iceto make it an electioneering instrumen,
instead of an agency for the public good.
Is it not enough that this man can hold
Office in opposition to the will of the communi.
'ty in which he lives and by whom he is sup
ported9 Must hensethe public purse in stri-
wing to pull down them and their interests and
put them under the feet of their enemies9
For shame Mr.. Post Master--read over what
Gen. Jackson (before he was elected President
said about Office holders interfering with the
freedom Of elections.
Post Masters must bo elected by the voice
of the people for whom they act in the towns
in which The offices arekept, otherwise in the
language ofJackson corruption will become
the order of the day."
The Post Master in question out Of politics
is respectable man and Iwould fain.hope that
heis NOT aware how baseit is to pervert his Of.
fetal trust. Hereafter it to be hoped at ali
events that Wood county will furnish aample
scope androom enough, for the exercise Of
his official interference IL the coming election.

tors throughout the country as agents, and that
some ofthe agents have ordered their supplies
of the article to be sent by mail. They are pro-
badly relatives of the Hon. Franklin Go-free,

have sometimes wondered whether the
German origin of the medcament above

other German nostrums, said to be manu-

also under the agency of the same set of gen.

The Editor of the Toledo Blade accounts
for the rise in the waters of the great lakes by
supposing that lake Superior has gained a
new tributary which formerly emptied into
Hudson's Bay. If this is the case the elevation
must be permanent, or continue to increase
if the former, good bye TO the rock bar, we
shall never hear Of it again, and if the latter,
Toledo will soon be. ".Non comatibus in

The HARVEST. T.--Information from all quar-
tiers gives evidence of the abundance of the pre-
sent harvest. Even the sterile hills of New
England are said to be waving with crops Of
unprecedented luxuriauce. In'this section the
crops ofgrass and small grains are unusually
large, and in the interior of this state, plenty,
such as has been hardly known, even in that
land Of plenty, smiles in every field. In the
County of Fairfield, we are told, tho harvests
exceed the supply Of laborers, and the loss
from the want ofhands to gather in the over
flowing crop will be very considerable. Surely
Providence smiles upon the land, in the dispen-
sation of the gifts of Heaven, pointing at the
same time to those first principles of economy,
which prove, that the cultivators Of the soil af-
tor all, are the only real producers of wealth
and the only possessors of real independence.

| The following article from Chambers Ed
inburgh Journal on the philosophy Of advert
! sing, takes a very judicious and common sense
view of the matter, and is well worthy of be
ing attentiVeiy read Those who think that il
}pltting into the papers notices Of what they
have for sale, they confer an exclusive benefi
on the proprietors of those journals, make {
great mistake. The truth is, that while to thu
publisher The benefit is a very limited one, Il
the advertiser the advantages are incalculable
Letthe person who has an article to dispose O.
however small in value, only reflect that by in,
serting short notice in widely circulating
paper, he lays before every regular subscriber
an intimation of the fact, to say nothing of the
thousands Of readers who are not Subscribers;
and that, should single person be. induced to
purchase, the expense of the advertisement is
more than paid. We cannot do better than to
let Chambers speak in his own pertinent Ian
guage.--Baltmore .4me,,icau.
PHILosoPHY OF ADvERTIsrNe.--It may be
worth while to communicate to young trades
men the ideas ofan oldone on this subject; they
arc simply and briefly as follows:--The first
utility Of frequent and regular advertising con
sistsin this: there is at all times q large class
ofpersons bothln country and town, who have
no fixed places foi the purchase ofcertain arti-
cles, and areTeady to be swayed and drawn
towards any particular place which is earnestly
brought under their notice. Indifferent to ali,
they yield without hesitation to the first who
asks. Then, in the country, a considerable
number Of persons, who wish supply of the
articlesadyertised, and do not know Of any par
ticuar place whereit is to be got,being thus fur
nished with the address ofa person who can
supply them, naturally open communication
with address, which, perhaps, leads to much
Interior business. People in the country are
also liable to be favorably impressed by the
frequent sight of a. name in the newspapers.
The advertising party acquires distinction in
their eyes; and thus they are led, in making
choice, to prefer him. But by far the most i'm
portant effect of advertising, is one Of an indi-
rect nature: it conveys the impression that
the party-pretendng or not pretending,
quackish or not qnackish--s anxious for busi-
ness. One who sanxious for business, is unas
voidably supposed to be an industrious, attei,-
tive, civil l,person, who keeps the best of arti-
cles at the cheapest rate, does every thing in
the neatest and most tradesman- like manner,
ard in general uses every expedient to crafty
andattach customers. People, Of course, like
to purchase under those circumstances; and the
system of advertising assuring them that such.
circumstances exist at this particular sbon, they
select it accordingly. Such are the opinions
Of he old tradesrnan alluded to, and they ore.
certainly, supported by the fact; for wherever
ansextensive or regular system Of advertising
is practiced, and no back-drawinr or urlcon.

Resolved further, That, considering that more
than halfa century has elapsed since the con-
clusion Of that treaty, considering the extraor-

gociations and proceedings fthe governments
ofthe two countries, in their endeavor AMIGA
by to settle this controversy; and considering
the danger of mutual irritation and collisions up
on the border Of kindred and friendly nations
from further procrastination, the Senate cannot
forbear to express an earnest. desire that the
pending negotiation should be brought to a
close, and the final decision Of the dispute be
made as early as practicable.
Resolved, That, as it would be inexpedient
for the United States to proceed, upon their Sc
perate authority, to survey andmake the North

Ice FOR THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.--.If
the stew in which politicians sometimes find
themselves involves higher degree Of heat,
than is found in the atmosphere about these
days, no one can wonder at the propensity for
cooling drinks manifested by one of the depart

without an experimental knowledge we could
hardly be Induced to believe that life could be
sustained and health preserved under SO high a
pressure. Wo be to all pursy gentlemen who
