advertising =
"We have remarked that extensive aduer-
Using is one of the means by which the re-
form in trade is 10 be accomplished. The two
classes, BUYERS and sellers. have a common
interest in finding each other that is to say,
il is for the interest of him who can supply
certain want cheapest, to have every buyer
aware of the fact and it is for the interest of
the buyer no less. An expenditure of fifty
thousand dollars may not be too much, one of
five thousand may be too little for that pur-
pose. If, for example, somebody has diseov-
cred, as we see it stated in a Southern paper,
a substance, or chemical compound, which
will dispense with the labor now required in
washing clothes, or the half of it, at very
small cost, the owner of this patent may spend
$4,000 year in advertising it, and then not
spend enough. There are inventions, within
our knowledge, worth hundreds of thousands,
if the patentees knew how and had the enter
prise to bring them home to the knowledge of
all interested-by these failings they will new
er realise twenty thousand. Whoever can
supply this city cheapest, with almost any ar
tcle which will meet general want hitherto
more extensively met, cannot advertise too
much if he knows how to advertise at ALL
And yet many dealer in our city pays a
thousand dollars more for an eligibly located
store, than he need pay in less frequented
street, and does not pay a hundred dollars
year for advertising He willingly pays
thousand dollars, merely to let some ten thou
sand people know that he has certain articles
to sell, but grudges five hundred dollars to
give the same knowledge to millions"
In reference to this subject, the Boston
Times says
eff you want to obtain situation; if you
want to obtain help; if you want TO hire or
let house if you want to obtain boarders !;
if you want to recover anything lost or sto-
len; if you want to sell your goods, wares.
and merchandise; finally, if you want to get
business, and make money, advertise, adver-
tise."
Will the business men of Wilmington take
the hint Many of them have already profit
ed by advertising, yet there is larger num-
Der who have not yet become reconciled TO
the advantages derived from advertising. Now
is the time to commence. If proper effort is
made, the approaching season will be renown-
ed for its activity in Wilmington, and we hold
ourselves ready and willing 10 afford the pub
lie every facility i'll our power to accommo-
date them. The Journal has more extern
sive circulation in this town and vicinity than
any other paper, by at least three to one. Our
terms are low, and the more patrons we can
get the better enabled we shall be TO accom-
modate the wants of the community.

Office and who. do you think, was appointed
in my place ]? Robert Brown. who is not o.
age! | am certain of that fact, for he told
me himself, twelve months ago, he was only
nineteen, which would make him a! this time
20 years of age. You can make any com
ments you like.

There is another removal that has lately ia
ken place in the Custom House here, deser
wing of some public notice. The case, as
has been reported to US, is as follows Or
the 9th of September last, Mr.. Uriah Sulli
van, one of the Inspectors of the Revenue
boarded an English brig outside of the bar
loaded with salt, from Liverpool. Mr.. SuIli
van brought the brig up TO town, and com
unenced discharging the cargo. When abou
half discharged, he was informed by the Col
red, and the brother-in-law of the Collector
who had been ap pointed to supercede Mr.. Gal
loway, was put on board the brig, and finish
ed discharging the salt. We believe the ap
pointing power has the right to make reno
walls when he sees fit, but in this case we thin
Col. Rankin might, at least, have permitte
Mr.. Sullivan TO finish discharging the cargo
AS the matter now stands, we do not see hoy
return of the cargo is to be made. Mr.. SUI
Ivan is no government officer, and Mr.. Brow
did not superintendthe delivery of the Who'll
cargo, and, of course, cannot make affidavit {
the quantity of salt that the brig brought
this port. 1t is also understood that M
Brown is under age. If this be a fact, Co
Rankin has certainly suffered his hatred I
Democrats to overcome his better judgment
