Advertising and Putting.

Never before was the art Of advertising and
putting carried TO so high point Of perfection
and with such golden results, as "about these
days." as the Almanac hath il. The most
successful professors of the divine art, thus far,
have been the inventors and vendors of Patent
Medicine. DR.. Brandreth has arisen from a
poor man TO be the possessor OF large fortune.
He has a Factory at Sing Sing, three stories
high, where he erinds and compounds his Pills.
ffeighted from II by the cargo. The secret Of
his success Is, he has .tdUerfised, .Adpertised,
Pulled, Pulled. He has expended $4,000 per
annum in advertising. Mofatt, he Of the ''Liie
Btters," has made a fortune Of $S00,00 by
the same means. Sherman, Of the sworn
Lozenge" line. has emerged from little retail
shop in Nassau street, New York, into a
wholesale dealer in real estate, in that ere
spectacle village" Comstock, one of the celc-
brated Druggists Of that name, began with
nothing, and has pulled and advertised himself
into a fortune and splendid residence in I'm
ion Place. l
In Boston, soak Hall' is an instance Of the
splendid results OF advertising.
We trust our readers will see and feel the
moral Of these facts, and acl thereon.
We ofthe types and the press, hold the keyes
to the temple Of fortune. five may not enter
ourselves, we have much TO do, with admitting
Others into its golden Halls. BY a liberal sys-
TEN of advertising, many man has in few
years achieved a reputation and a fortune, that
otherwise would have cost him the toll Of a
whole life.

Poland.

The tyranny of Russia has made 10000 noble
hearted Poles refugees from their native land. OF
these than 600 is said are Circassian officers,
leading on the Circussian troops against the army
of Russia. Hundreds Of others ell Professor
chairs in Universities, Colleges and Academies in
England, Scotland, France, Belgium, and Ger
many. Nearly all these 10000 are members of Sc.
cret Societies, acting in for the liberty Of
Poland and the millions of Poland, are 10 a
great extent, organized into secret Liberty Soce-
ties, for the same object. The vigilance of the ~.
rant of Russia, is however, unceasing suspected
persons sent off to perish or drag out misera-
bic existence in the snowy deserts of LIBERIA
Children by the thousands are mercilessly taken
from their parents by the order of government and
sent off among cold hearted strangers, where they
never more hear their native tongue or be
taught TO live die for the liberty of Poland Fol
while tyranny may triumph but the hour OF ven,
geance and terrible retrbuton will come. The
history of an individual is but the epitome of that
of nations. Sooner or later the sins of each shall
be visited upon them.

Graham's Magazine for April.

Graham's Magazine for April, is one of the rich
est numbers we have ever seen, both in embellish
ments and literary contents. The FIRST embellish
ment is portrait of Geo. P. Morris. the Tom
Moore Of America With such a face and head as
here shown US, we do not see how he could help
but write poetry, and good poetry too. Then there
are two landscapes, one, IA shanty on Lake
Chaudiere," the other "Tallulah Falls" Georgia
The notice of Morris, is by an approaching spirit
and is in the main Just, but its eulogy is over
wrought. "Chivalry of the nineteenth century"
by d. II. Barlow, will be recognized by many Of
our readers as the substance of lecture delivered
in this village by Mr. Barlow. II has lost none Of
its thrilling interest by appearing in print. We
shall endeavor TO give it place in our columns
Those who heard IL, wall be anxious read it, and
those who heard il not will, we are sure, be CRATE
full to for placing il before them. Then there is
the poetry usual variety of tales Of the tender pas
sion, &c.
We extract from editorial notice Of "The
Chimes, by Dickens, the following
AIN the Chimes there is description Of the
freaks played by the nght-wind in an old church,
which well illustrates what we mean WHEN we speak
OF his poetical power. To il seems TO display a
remarkable blending Of hunior, paihos sensibihty,
observation and fancy--almosi every word being
instinct with mind, aud bearing the print Of the
faculty from which il proceeds:
"For the night-wind has dismal trick Of wander

moaning as il goes, and of trying, with its unseen
hand the windows and the doors and seeking out
some crevices by which TO enter. And when L has

This passage, including some sentences which
follow il, seems 10 Of the finest specimens OF
Dickens genius. 1t would be difficult 10 find its
match for combination Of creative fancy with
the most exact and delicate observation Ii is one

On Thursday morning, little before three o'cl'k,
the Second Baptist Church, in St. Peter street,
was discovered TO be on fire. The Waterman who
made the discovery, at first supposed that the APP
pearance which attracted his attention, was &C.
casioned by preparation for warming the house for
the Fast Day service but as soon as the fact was
ascertained, the alarm given, and the iremen
OF the neghboring towns, well rs our own, were
promptly upon the spot. The FIRE appears to have
been kindled Immediately under the pulpit, which
was entirely consumed, the floor burnt through,
and quantity of benches and other light materials
in the cellar under it destroyed. Ascending, the
fire burnt through the ceiling, the garrett and the
roof. The interior Of the building is very much
defaced and injured by the heat, smoke and water.
We understand there is insurance on the meeting
house to the amount Of 800, and theIadjoining
vestry for $500, at the Manufacturers Office, in
Boston.
Circumstances render it certain, that this was an
incendiary attempt.-(Salem Gazette.

Virginia.--On the third Thursday of the coming
month the annual election of State officers will take
place in the Old Dominion. The whole Of the
House Of Delegates, fourth part OF the Senate,
and fifteen members Of Congress, 10 be elected.
The Wings have majority in the present House,
and the Locos less one in the Senate. Having
majority on joint ballot, the Wings had II in their
power to have elected their candidate for Senator,
Tor the next six years, in the place Of Hon. VIM G..
Rves, whose term has expired. But, in defiance
Of law and their evident duty the Senate obstinate
iy persisted in refusing TO meet with The House, for
the purpose of going into election. The choice
Of United States Senator, therefore, will devolve
upon the Legislature now 10 be chosen. The Rich
mond Wing is Of the opinion that the Wings will
retain their ascendancy in the House, and gain sew
eral in the Senate. Several Wing Districts, mis-
represented by Loco Focos elect their Senators
this spring. Among these is the Senatorial Dis
trct composed Of the counties Of Hampshire, Berk-
ely and Morgan, now misrepresented by Loco, by
the name Of Sloan in this district Cromwell Or
rick, Esq. Of Morgan, a stOunch Wing, will be
chosen
The result for members of Congress is very I'M
certain. large number Of the districts are very
close, and vary exceedingly from year to year For
this reason, we may have more, or we may have
less than either party expect In the present Con-
gress the Wings have but four members. In the
next we hope they will have six or seven.-Boston

Election IN Rhode Island.

The election IN this State has resulted in the
choice Of Mr.. Jackson, the 'Dorr Liberation can
didate, as Governor, over Gov. Fenner, the claw
and Order candidate, by very few votes. Gov
Dennsn is reelected Lieut. Governor, on the
"Law and Order" ticket by nearly 400 majority
large majority Of both Houses Of the Legislature
are claw and Order" The Senate stands claw
and Order" 81 Dorr TO- House claw and Order"
43 Dorr "a "Law and Order" majority on joint
ballot 30. Mr.. Cranston, Wing, is reelected to
Congress without opposition. Mr.. Potter, the
"Law and Order" candidate in the Western Dis
trict, was defeated by Gov Arnold who run as an
Independent Wing candidate. The Providence
Journal says:
The Dorrites put forth the issue Of unconditional
liberation but the Law and Order party did not ac
cept il, aud the contest not fought upon that
or any other one issue. The Dorrites supported
Mr.. Jackson account Of liberation, while many
Wings voted for him for other reasons An ex-
animation OF particular towns will show the most
contradictory and totally irreconcilable results.
Such is the result of The election in which moth
ing is decided We mention these circumstances
because they are true and are necessary TO cor
rect understanding of ihe e,-not from any dis
position to disguise the modification that we feel
at the unexpected and deplorable blow which the
Law and Order party has received in the defeat Of
Gov. Fenner, its able and faithful representative.

Correspondence of the ". Y. Tribune.

The Wings have very little interest in re-
movas or appointments at Washington, But
there was one gentleman whom thought
that even Loco Focoism would let alone in
his Office. He has always been Democrat
but this did not forfeit his office when Har-
rison's Cabinet came into power l allude
to John s. Skinner, Sd Assistant P. nj. Gem
eral, who has been removed to make room
for another and a less worthy member Of the
party. Mr. Skinner is gentleman, whom
to know is to honor. Every farmer in the
country has heard Of him and has learned to
esteem him without knowing him. He start
ed the first agricultural paper in the United
States, and for long time conducted the
American Farmer His position at Wash
ington gave him great facilities TO do good
to the farming interest throughout the Unit
ed States. His desire, or rather passion,
to promote agricultural improvements, hard
ly ever permitted day break to find him in
bed. His continuance in Office would have
been compliment and blessing to the
farmers throughout the country, who ought
TO have equal protection in the bestowa Of
offices, as well as the other professions who
crowd the capital. But Mr. Skinner, at
somewhat advanced age, and with pecuniary. !.
embarrassments brought on in efforts to im-s
prove farming, is turned out to make room
for President Tyler's brother-in-law. merely
because, as some suppose, he (Dr Miller)
knows too much of the bargain and cor
ruption' between the contending Baltimore
Conventions that nominated Polk and Ty-
Ter.
IowA-An election takes place next
month, to determine whether the people are
willing to accept of the Constitution pre-
pared for them by the Convention. Con.
gress, in the act of admission, deprived the
State of an immense quantity Of territory,
and it seems TO be doubtful whether the
people will assume the form Of State govern
ment on such terms. Many of those, who
advocated a change of government, are
thrown beyond the limits of the proposed
State Of Iowa by the act Of Congress, and
hence it is doubted whether majority can
be found in favor Of the Constitution
Strenuous opposition is made to it in other
parts of the territory.
1t is said that arrangements have been
made for the immediate extension of the
line Of Morses Magnetic Telegraph from
Baltimore to New York, by private COM
pany. A Telegraphic line Of eight wires, il
is said, can be erected between the two cities
for 100000. 1t is added that Amos Ken

for the completion of the work, Mr. Kendall

patented by Mr.. Morse, the inventor, aud
