vast importance to the Wing party, and conse-

We like II good stiff opposition it will keep

to do it. Not one true Wing has gone over to the
Locos, and no where do they poll so large vote
as They did last year. 1t is the third party-Me
staying at-home party-that has given the Locos
all the iriumphs they have received.

offence charged. This Governor Med refused.
and II tart correspondence ensued from which no
thing has resulted. The Georgia Governor is
therefore considerably savage upon the Executive
and Legislature Of N. Y, as planning to prevent
the recovery of fugitive slaves and the punish

onmends that the federal government take The

THE STAR THAT NEVER SETS.


Our readers will find in this mornings paper
the proceedings of The Wing Legislative Conven-
ton, recently held Mt the Capitol OF Vermont
The spirit OF the resolutions aud the tone OF the
address, will command very general approbntion.
The leading principles of the Wing party are en-
umernted in brief but cogenl terms, and for these,
us for the Wing principles OF '76, the Jealous aud
answering support Of the Green Mountain boys
is confidently claimed. The measures needed TO
restore the prosperity of tho country, so deeply
injured by tho misrule Of Jackson aud Van Bu =
rem, nrc suscinctly pointed out aud confidence is
expressed that we may yet look to The wisdom
aud patriotism of Congress and the President,
Tor their early adoption. The exercise OF toler-
ant spirit is warmly enjoined, aud the Ind'spensn-
bile necessity, in order to ensure the permanent
triumph of the good cause, OF united aud haImo-
mons efforts, earnestly and eloquently urged.

ADVERTISING. ".

Advertising is TO persons in business
what steam IS to navigation is lhe grand
propeIling powefsitkeeps the whuie ma
rhinery il motion. Many Of the mer-
chants Of shis city 20 not appear to be
aware Of the advantages derigable from
advertising. We have been frequently
asked the question, why some Of the pin
cipai .mert hanls do not avail themselves
Of the opportunity Of advertising in our
paper, and we have been able to give no
other reason in reply, than that il has been
occasiOned by "a difference in politics; for
it is well known that the Chllicoihe Ad-
vertiser has now in circulation more
RthaD any other paper that has ever been
published in this county. 1t is sent INTO
every neighborhood in Ross, and is very
extensively circulated in the surrounding
counties. Towns depend chiefly on the
surrounding country for their suppori,and
il is in the country where the great de-
anahd exists for Democratic papers. The
merchants are as much indebted for the
support OF their business to Democrats as
TO Wings; and ifthey undertake 10 pros
crbe Democratic paper, the Democrats
have an equal opportunity Of Withdrawing
their custom from persons who are actua-
ted by such illiberal feelings.
We embrace the present occasion TO re-
turn our thanks to those merchants aud
others who have favored us with their ad-
vertising custom. We intend that no ex-
eriions shall be spared on our part TO rem
der our paper deserving Of their future
patronage and conducive TO their inter-
ests. .f '..- eGH
The following is ono out Of many in.
stances which may be cited, showing the
benefit ofadvertising: About the first of
the present month person came TO our
Office to advertise that he had lost forty
dollars in money, and in week or two
from the time Of bis putting his advertise.
Inent in our paper, we received letter
from another person, living alta consider.
able distance from the former, stating
that he had found the money-the property
has since been safely restored to The
owner.
A sign over the door of store is read
only by a few persons, but an advertise.
ment is sign multiplied by hundreds and
thousands which are continually travelling
IN all directions-they can be read by hun
dreds Of persons at the same instant, at
their homes, by their fire side, or under
the shady tree. Let those who would
prosper in their business reflect on these
things.
