Loss Of Life, and UeStructtOn
Of Property,

Of Property,
On Wednesday evening last, one of the most
destructive hurricanes, or whirlwinds, with
which our country has ever been visited, pass
ed through our Territory..a little north Of this
place, carrying death and desolation with it..
The morn Of tina. day was as pleasant as usu-
al, a very gentle breeze playing with the
leaves, and cloud occasionally shutting the
sun from view; but in the afternoon, dark J
angry looking cloud, covering the whole north
eastern horizon, seemed to stand still, while
from the south a very severe gale was con-
stantly blowing. As at signal, the cloud
started from the position it had so long main
tanned, and in few moments the rain was
pouring down in torrents, and so continued for
90 OF 80 minutes when it ceased, and about
this time, after very short calm, strong
gale was blowing in the opposite direction
from which it came before. But this was not
the place for its horrors. We have learned
but few particulars, and they truly melancho-

The Troy Wing says that quite number
of the Tariff Locos voted for Polk under the
excuse, since made, that they knew the Sen
ate would be Wing, and so were not afraid OF
the repeal of the Tariff of 1872. The same
plea, made BY the Abolitionists; we didn't
suppose our vote could make any difference,
and we wanted to sustain our party; has
elected Polk, because sustaining our party is
after all the strongest motive of action -
There are men who would be ruined by the
success of measures professedly the leading
objects of their party; and yet they stick to
the Larty vote. trusting the Wing influence
will still save them-and there are Abolition
lists who have been good Wings for thirty
wears, who voted for Birney, (nOt to elect

who are well aware Of tina. vote, and its effect
where anu effect was prooable.-Yea, there
are those who rejoice in the consequences OF
their vote. A notice for Wing Liberty

Postscript to call as follows-"The returns

ring certainty (says the Evening Journal,)
that James X. Polk would receive the electo-
rial vote ofthis State l'-In strain ofindig-

Benefits Of Advertising,

A contemporary discourseth thus SEN
sibly upon the benefits Of advertising:
ga friend remarked the other day that
business that is not worth advertising IS
not worth doing. There is much truth
in the remark, but the truth does not
seem to be appreciated by most of our
business men. Many men seem to think
that TO cease advertising is economy, that
reduces expenses that ifthey have but
little business to de, it is not worth adyer-
sing. A man does not bug goods h
keep them OR hand. If he did it might
be well to insure without advertising
Again, advertising is like travelling sign.
No business man will hesitate TO pay 500
for sign, when he wCu never think cf
paving half the sum for advertising. The
one is a sign seen only by those who pass
the store, and can see the goods that are
ior sale as well rs the sign that comes
under the eye of hundreds who will never
see the sign over the door; vet some pre-
tend to argue that because scme men have
done good business without advertising
advertising is unnecessary. They might
as well argue that because some men
have made money without industry, in
dusty is unnecessary. The money paid for
advertising, never forms the least difficulty
to man who has any thing to gain. 1t is
TO him mere drop from the ocean. 4
painter once asked wealthy merchan,
why he had nat better sign. 'Ahpsaid
he, Il advertise. My neighbors have all
splendid signs, but they never bring as
many customers as mine. Any one in the
country may see my signboard. 1t is tie
printer, and not the painter, that made my
wealth."
There is a great deal of truth in the
following remarks from the Catskill
Record: "Show us, saws that paper, the
man among us, who is continually CON-
planning for the want of trade, and at the
same time is wondering how the dickens
such and such places have so great run Of
custom, we will show you one who is too
penurious to spare twenty or thirty dollars
a year for advertising"
Those of our friends who engaged in
trade-especially those in the dry goods
business-it will be seen, avail themselves
land pretty literally too, ofthe use of our
travelling sign," and we presume they
are all satisfied that "the money paid for
advertising never forms the least difficult
Iy to man who has any thing to gain.
Indeed, they are so well impressed with

past, been compelled to leave out two or

THIRD PARTY.

of these were whigs.-& IFS, 900 of them
voted for Clay he would have been cleo

strong ralIey of the Catholics and foreign
ers against the Wings Clay would have
carried the State by $4,000. The Bir-
ney men in some parts distributed Polk
and Birney tickets-when men would
not go for Birney, Polk was next pushed
upon them, according tn the tenor of
Birney's public advice to his party in that
State on the eve of the election. &c.
Calhoun & the slave dealers went against
Clay because he opposed the Annexation
of Texas-The Birney men because las
