WHERE SHALL TRADE ?" Most
of the farer portion of humanity on this side
ofthe Atlantic possess enough of the proven
bal shrewdness of the Yankee, when they
want TO buy an elegant shawl, or silk dress
TO put the above enquiry and so far are we
from thinking this reprehensibIe, that we
would tIin have them make it n subject for
more serious consideration than is usually
devoted to it. 1t is well known that there
is great difference between stocks of the
same description of goods, and that many
traders. from the want of capital, credit, or
other causes well understood by those Ia the
business, donot enjoy those facilities for sus-
tanning the variety and freshness of their
stocks which some more lucky men possess.
Perhaps no firm in this city or New York,
could be mentioned, that is more fortunate in
this respect, than the long established and
well-known house ofJewett & Prescott, now
doing business in the spacious granite block
in Milk Streot.neXt to the Old South Church.
These gentlemen are somewhat remarkable
for their incessant activity in every branch of
their immense shawl and silk trade, and at
present are sparing neither expense or labor,
to render their establishment the great Bos-
ton depot for Silk Goods and Shnws, at

The Democratic National Convention, which meets
the 22d instant in the city of Baltimore is looked
TO with deep interest by the democracy throughout the
whole country. The results of that convention will
be felt for years to come
1t is to be hoped that the convention will be fully
attended, doubtless it will for all the States have
held conventions, and selected large delegations of
good men and true men, who have been selected be-
of their well known and long tried advocacy of
democratic measures.
1t matters little who the nominees of the convention
may be, that they true democrats fully capable
and competent to discharge the duties of the high
stations for which they may be selected 1t has al
ways been cherished axiom with the democracy,
that principles and not should be their rule of
action; and most careful have they been in carving
cut the sentiment TO the fullest extent. clear de-
monstraton made of this assertion in the selec-
ton Of j. X. Polk. He was taken from the walks Of
private life, solely the ground of his known advo-
cacy of democratic principles, and not Of
his personal popularity. And his election clearly
elucdated the fact that principles, and men, gov
erned the American people in their choice.
But | am DEPRESSING. The convention will, doubt
less, be governed by the rules of former conventions
of the kind. The success of democratic principles
will be the paramount object and men will be selected
who will be chosen who well qualified to carry
out their views well those Of the great demo-
cratic party of the whole Union, whom they repre-
sent And it is hoped and believed that harmony and
concession will characterize their deliberations.
But before veil after the selections shall have
been made, it behooves the democracy of the whole
country TO organizeto grid the political armor,
and be ready for the great battle which is fast APP
proximating, and must eventuate in the triumph Of
correct principles, the downfall of everything that
free.nen cherish. The contest will be no ordinary
The enemy, on former occasions, will resort
to the basest purposes to accomplish their views. They
will carry out TO the fullest extent, the principle that
"the end ustifes the means" Then let every demo-
Graf be the aIert-be MISUNDERSTANDING the duty
he owes himself, bis countr;, and lis God, and SO
sure as the election on, just certain will
principles triumph, and consequently the rights and
Liberties OF the people be maintained.
