THE PUBLIC PRINrER.-The editor of the Ad- yertiser announces, with ill-conceaed exultaton,
 that the Advertiser and Chronicle has been selected by the Secretary State, the Printer of the laws, &c. We can hardly tell whether he is most delight ed that this sop has fallen into his willing mouth, that it has fallen out of ours. We presume he joys double satisfaction. While we return to him most grateful acknowledgements for having re- trained from breaking this most painful news to us until recent democratic triumph had prepared our "poor nerves" for the shock, truth compels us to destroy his happy illusion of the chagrn that it would us, by declaring that were aware of his ap pontment and our bereavement " two months ago." although he denied ii at the time. Nor are we so charitable to believe that feelings prnci- pally consulted in making the disclosure this par ticular junclure. We are rather encouraged to be- lieve that he has vauntngy brought the affair light now, small drop of comfort to soothe hs feelings, which rendered by far '' too numerous" for him, on Monday week last-'s any port in a storm" What was in itself a triAe two months ago, has under the editors changed circumstances, proved real solace now He is welcome to the profits of printing the laws, (we never found any) and the small moral consolation which it may serve to afford him, under the expressed of confidence of his own political friends.
 As for our " appeals to the mercanhis community" theme which seems to gnaw like the abled vulture at the editors heart strings, that they would be in vain, had he the power to stfen their necks and harden their hearts, even as he is stiff necked and hard hearted. But recent events have exhibited his impotence in his darling scheme to fch from us patronage for which we have never begged, but always stroye to deserve. The stinging rebuke which the ''mercantile" men of his political fra ternity administered to him days ago. ought to have admonishcd him to hold his peace upon that subject
 While have lost, and he has gained all, the pub lie sop and pap which his party could take away from and bestow upon him, our private and per- sonal patronage has grown steadily under his amia- ble efforts to starve and principles out of his ambitious path. It will not gratify him, but it will our friends, (and among these reckon number of whgs) to learn that this establishment never upon sounder footing, in respect to stable private patronage, since the rcvusion of 36-37. than it is now. Our salary advertising list has doubled in a twcyemonth-our current business exhibits to us gratifying, to our neighbor galling improvement, and ofa large and respectable list of country and city subscribers, there are but few opposite to whose names may not be written the word "good" "So much for Buckingham"
