FaI,npa wintor Trade.


We are glad 10 see sach evidences around
us. Of activity 10 the fall and winter trade
While 10 Polosi the other day, after dining at
that excellent hotel, THE Wisconsin House,
we went down street to zee for onrsef what
the S,.akcs were doing. We found Uiy 10
bis Clothing store, buster than ever IN fitting
bis customers with pantaloons, vests and coats
Of the most fashionable and substantial de-
scription--and Just below, Messrs Haines <
Hollub, opening very rich stock Of dry and
fancy goods--and Souhwor;h who has re-
moved his stove store into the same block,
crowded with custom, and of course anxious
TO do all the business he can-and Bicknell,
with stock of fresh drngs and medicines,
which no man is more competent TO select
Crossing over to Langworthy's, we found his
large establishments crowded with purchasers
a, wholesale and retail; and we found the
same stir and activity at the great establish
ment Of Lewis & Co.. II is impossible "a
give our readers any adequate description OIL
the stock 10 trade Of these stores, where. be.
hind and above the sale rooms. there are hun
6Ieds of boxes, barrels and bales OF goods vel
unopened. For particulars we beg leave 10
refer our readers TO our advertising columns.
We must not forget to mention the store Of
Messrs Law,her and Dyer, next above Lewis
e. Co. Mr.. Wilson. will always be found
since his recovery, glad 10 see his friends and
the public, and ready TO show them most
choice selection Of goods suited TO our mar
ket, catalogue of which will appear next
week 10 The Herald. in the form of an adver-
tsement Mr. Kaltenbach still keeps time
at his jewellers shops. running as true as an
sight day clock--and Taylor who can make a
finer pair Of boots than any manufacturer 10
these parts, is still, like Day & Martin con-
stsn,ly on hand, and our friends Barnett e.
Seaton, the only men who understand the
RICH. philosophy Of raising the wind are
making and selling more and better flaming
mills than any body else. In short our friends
are all doing well aud we wish them all the
prosperity due to enterprisng business men
who arc determined TO do business and who
don't care if the whole world knows IL.
Ia Lancaster, equal evidence is seen Of fair
prospects for fall and winter trade. James NJ
OTIS has jus, returned from New York with
very large supplies Of goods, selected with
admirable taste, and Mr. Barber 10 receiving
additions 10 his stock, every week, of such
articles as he finds his customers want; Mr.
John NJ ods has also just opened a new stock
Of goods 10 the rear of Banfil's Hotel; and all
our merchants seem determined 10 keep such
constant supplies Of gcods a, prices so mod.
crate, as TO secure TO our village it's legitimate
share Of trade.

Conceit Of the 1Ierieaas. iexicans
fancy themselves TO possess, as nation traits
of character far superior 10 the leading features
of the United States. Ia some respects this
fancy is not SO exuavgant as many Americans
may regard it, and that you may see what can
be said on The subject | will let Mexican tell
his own story. | quote from al Diaro off,
cial." of the 10Th instant.
.In Mexico there are no Slaves, nor is there
man in the country liable to treatment worse
than beasts should receive. as is the case with
the unfortunate negro of Louisiana and other
States. The mere act of stepping upon our
soil brings freedom to the stranger from other
lands. The Aborigines are not here persecu.
| ted and crushed as they are in the United
States of the North. There is no nioneyed ar
istocracy established here as in Philadelphia
and other parts of the United States, where
the possessor of half million of dollars is
gentleman, no matter how be acquired them. 10
word, Mexico possesses many more of the
elements of freedom than the United States.
..IInder The new order of things the preiext
for war has disappeared, and it would cease if
the United States would act in good faith (!)
But if this may not ensue. the war will be
prosecuted, with shis additional advantage TO
Us, that the Republic. regenerated by the issues
of The last patriotic revolution, will fight as
one man for her independence and her liberty,
and with all the energy and vigor of free peo.
| pie. With her also rest The universal sympa-
thies of the world, and in opening her ports to
all foreigners, and offering them more gusIan-
ties, and greater advantages, thans the United
States can offer--for our country abounds in
the elements Of prosperl,y-we shall secure
the benefits of European immigration. and 10
the course of very few years find ourselves
in the possession of three times the population
of the United Slaies."-[Cores. of Tribune.

Respectfully Your.
From the Emancipation.
The BrOOhIyn Bible Argument,
D. A. WEBSTER.

| have observed IN your paper several notices
Of the recent action Of the American Board at
Brooklyn, and Of the ground there taken in rela-
ton to Slaveholding church-membcrs. Dr.. Bee
cher has also placed in your columns a state
ment and vindication of the position taken by
him at the meeting of the Board viii YOU
allow me tosnggest some thoughts in relation to
this controversy, which seems to me Of no small
moment, and which yet have either been unno-
tlced, or have not received that prominence
which they deserve.
The main position taken by Messrs. Bacon,
Beecher, and Stowe;-on which their whole
superstructure rests, and which we find repeated
again and again in their speeches, and subse-
quent apologies to the public, is this:-'the law
establishes a certain relation between two men.
the relation Of master and slave:-The master
cannot amend that law, nor that relation; he l..
made a STAKEHOLDER, and therefore he is innocent
and may be admitted to the Church.'-Such is
substantially the whole argument, which ha,
been expanded over whole pages, and baptized
with the new name, organic.
Now to use DR.. Bacon's own very gentleman
ly, elegant, and nOn-abusive language; the church
es won't stand that nonsense Directly at issue
with him and his co-adjutors, / maintain tina
no one ca2 be made a stakeholder against hi
willard that any argument which a~sserts.or
assumes the fact, b founded on 'nonsense.'-Th
nature of the proof wi be best seen by a. sim
pie illustration.
Suppose the law should declaye that Dr.. Beech
er's wife, shall be, and is DR.. STOVES wife; tina
all the legal rights, consequences ano Liabilities
of husband and wife, shall exist, betweel DR.
Stowe and Mrs. Beecher. Suppose further, j
you please, that by compulsion, the parties are
made to join hands, and certain legal ceremo-
ny is gone through, and they are pronounced, le
gally, husband and wife.
Now does all this constitute DR.. Stowe an a
dulterer?--or afix the slightest faint upon hit
character Certainly not, unless he hasin SOM
