TRIBUTE TO SENATOR LINN.

We give below the speech deliveredin ST. Louis
Missouri, by the Hon. THOMAS H. BENTON, up
on the announcement at that place, of the death
of his colleague, DR.. LINN. The speech is elo-
quent-every way worthy of MIR BENToN-and
renders Just tribute to the memory of the man
whose loss the whole country deplores.
MIR. BENTON said that great as the grief of
all present was, he had more to lament than any
one AS a citizen of the State he felt, in common
with all other citizens the sorrow which oppress-
ed their bosoms; as a Senator still having some
time to serve, he felt the loss Of a colleague from
whom he always received the kindest, the most
cordial, the most efficient aid; friend, he had
to lament the loss of one Of his earliest friends
He (Mr b. had arrived in Missouri above a
quarter of century ago, while the lamented de-
ceased was still a youth at school; and from the
first moment of his arrival had found in him, and
in all his connexions, the most generous friend
ship, never interrupted for an instant, and which
never gowed with more warmth than IN the last
interview, few weeks before when they spent
the dav together The loss of such a colleague,
and of such friend, was to him the addition of a
private to public loss, and doubled the weight OF
the grief which he felt.
The worthy Mayor, said Mr.. B., who presides
on this melancholy occasion, has opened the sub
iect with Just and appropriate remarks. The re-
spectable committee which has been appointed
will report resolutions whichswill cover the mer-
its of the deceased and attest feelings some
one of the committee will doubtless be designated
to illustrate with his observations the resolutions
which shall be submitted. He would not trench
upon his province; but would confne himself to
points in the public life and character of his de-
ceased friend and colleague, less generally known
but equally honorable to the man and the Senator
He would speak of his generous kindness & anne
nity, which conciliated good will from all parties
which softened the acerbites of party-which
composed many diferences-and which flew tc
the sick bed of every member without regard tc
party, and Joined the assdues of nurse and friend
to the profound skill of the accomplished ply
sician. He would speak of his punctual attend
ance in his place, and his faithful discharge o
every public duty He would speak of his in
slant and ready attention to every call from his
constituents, whether opponents Qor he had No
foes, J or supporters He would speak of his sue
cess, in great measures which could not have been
carried by any one save himself There was .
charm in the goodness of his heart. the gentle
ness of his manner, and the aniability of hi.
temper. which gave power to talents and enabled
him to do for lis State what none but himssI
could have done.

past to make eOem thlS source OF profit, by pur-
chasing up at discount their own notes, and then
loaning them cut, at their nominal value, thus in
a two-fod sense pro6tiDg by setting the laws of
the country at defancel They first violate the
law by refusing to pay specie; this causes de-
probation of their notes; they then can purchase
up the notes at discount, and turn round and
loan the notes thus purchased, and receive for
them the notes of good men drawing interest If
this is not violation of the law, and then "tak-
ing advantage of their own wrong" by profting
upon the distress which they have mainly produc-
ed we know not the meaning of that term.
And because the Democratic party have pro-
claimed such abuses from the "house top" and
have been in favor of cOercing them into specie
payments, under the heaviest penalty, they have
been slandered and abused by their opponents and
declared 10 be in favor of "nothing but hard mo-
ney."
We are not are arguing /" from the abuse a.
gainst the use" Of the institution and this would
be unfair. Neither are we charging the Whig
party with iustifying some of the abuses of which
we havezcomplained this, also, would be impro-
per. We are only trying to show that when a
party not only tolerate but openly justify the sus-
pension of Banks, they become, to certain ex-
tent, an accessory before the fact" to the very
abuses of which we speak. For it is evident that
notes cannot be purchased at discount, until they
have deprecated; and equally evident, that de-
probation is produced by suspension Their guilt,
therefore, consists in ustying that state of things
which produces the act; and this, too, is aggrava
ted by the fact that former experience has taught
them, in common with others, that Banks are ac-
tuated from the same sordid passions men, and
that no way is so effectual in preserving them
from malpractices, as to keep them from tempta
tion A WESTERN FARMER.

cooNERY SHOWING IT'S sNouT AGAIN

"
II When Mr. Van Buren left the White
House. he stripped ii of most-of its furniture and
it was necessary to, supply The place We sup
pose MIR. V. B wanted all that fine furniture a.
dorm his own aristocratic villa of "Lindonwald"
Detroit AdUertiser.
There never were grosser fabIications contrived
to excite the jealousy and the Indignation of the
plain farmers of the country against the President
of their choice, than the stories invented by the
Ogles and dother log-cabin pfetenders about the o.
rental splendor of the White House during tho
late Democratic Administration When these
worthless came in, and voted 8 5000 to General
Harrison to addto this repuled magnffcence, they
had TO invent new EllSehoodS 10 cover the first.
This of the Detroit Advertiser is one of them
The Coon spoils-hunters, when'they came to Wash.
ngton to receive their shares, were astonished at
the simplicity of the furniture and decoration Of
the White House; but, without the leas remorse
for the unj Just censure they had brought upon Mr.
Van Buren by their misrepresentation in regard
to it they resolved to avert the disgrace in which
the discovery would involve their party by heap
ing aspersions the ex-Presidcnt. They
charged that he had run off with the furniture
which had so dazzled the eyes of the people. So
far from this being true, we know that MIR. Van
Buren, left in the White House more than he found
in it upon his ACCESSION, and more than was pro-
vded during his term at the public expense AS
for him personally, was suppos' properly to be
intended for :" the President" and decoration
for the mansion and, very much to the mortif[
cation of the donor, ia valued friend of Mr.. Van
Buren,) it was left in the house. Both General
Jackson and Mr.. Van Buren furnished many
things for the convenience and comfort of the Gov
eminent establishment at their own private ex-
pense; and in this way we'll as by their econ
omy and care, rendered less provision by the pub
lie necessary than the long and i'll use of the fur
niture originally procured would otherwise have
required. General Jackson, if we mistake not,
saved considerable portion of the ordinary outfit
to restore and maintain the old establishment and
dedicated it to adorn the then empty Eastroom.
Mr.. Van Buren, instead of having the old furni-
ture sacrificed at auction, and making display of
novelties at great cost had everything repaired,
regflded, and restored and he left all in such
good order that Whiggery ventured to describe il
as too sumptuous for a Republican, Prcsidcnl--aS
fit only for royalty to frvcl inTl What it is now
with the additional sum appropriated bv Congress
to improve it, we cannot say. The Wing letter.
writers, who have inspected the house, speak Of it

The Benefits of Adrertising.-Wh trades
man has quantity of goods to dispose Of it is to-
his interest that the public should be informed
where he transacts his business, the kind and
quality of articles he deals in, and what Special in!
ducelnents he holds out to purchasers calculated
to make it object with them to bestow on him
in preference to Others the benefit Of their custom.
For this reason shrewd dealer will, in the first
place, be particular to look out for suitable To-
cality, where the merchandise which he has to-
offer for sale, shall seem most likely TO find rea-
dy, safe, and profitable market. He will next
take pains to procure a store that may be consid<
cred the best adapted for an advantageous display
Of those commodities peculiar to the line of bnsi-
ness which he follows. Then he will so endea-
yor to arrange his assortment of articles upon the
shelves, IN the Windows, and otherwise about the
premises as present his stock in the most attrac-
live manner 10 the view of the public. One of
the most important steps after all, will be to calf
attention to this by means of advertising the ari<
clcs on hand through the medium of the public
journals This is the only sure way ofacquiring
that publicity to his name as a dealer, by reason
of which large run of customers is so often OBJ"
tanned.
It is matter of great surprise to many, how
large fortunes are some times accumulated out Of
the simple manufacture of backing, horehound
candy, pills and such other ordinary things; which
require neither talent ingenuity, skill nor great
Labor on the part of the producer The secret of
their success is easily explained. The persons
who have amasscd wealth in such cases have been
those who well understood the philosophy Of adj
vertising.
People nowadays are in the habit of consul
ting newspaper before they go forth TO make a
purchase They want to know something about
how an article is recommended, and wherein t
differs in point of superiority or cheapEess, from
such as may be procured anywhere else, before
they take the trouble to apply for it.

NEW WoRK-In notice of the proceedings Of
the Historical Society at one of its recent meet
ings, the American thus speaks of work soon to
be published by the Librarian Of the Society:
MIR. Folsom read some interesting extracts
from work he is about to publish on the Con-
quest of Mexico, consisting Of translatons from
the original narration of Col,es, the conqueror,
contained in letters or dispatches addressed by
him to Charles ", and written while engaged in
his extraordinary enterprise against the Mexican
Empire. These letters printed in Spanish and
Italian, bat not in English; and Mr.. F. exhibited
beautiful copy of the Italian translation of one
Of the letters, printed at Venice in 1924, which
was obtained in Italy by Samuel Ward, Esq, and
by him presented to the Society. The passages
read by Mr.. Folsom from his English version re-
lated to the markets Of the city of Mexico, its
aqueducts, the efforts of Cortes to reform the re
gion Of the people by destroying their idols and
prohibiting the sacrifice of human beings, aud to
the general character Of the people, who are de-
scrbed by Certes as quite equal to those of Spain
in point of and general civilization, with
out reference to their religion. The publication Of
this work cannot fail excite great interest in the
reading community"
