Some men who know enough to adj
vertiss, are yet so narrow az TO coptine
their advertisements to journals Of their
own creed or party. If they do aot
choose TO trade with any but men Of like
faith, this is wise, but il they desire to
have the whole public for customers, it
is otherwise.
There is large class who delights to
SHINE IN newspapers and plaeards as wits
or poets, and announce their wares in
secondhand jokes or in dogger.l fit to
set the teeth ola dull saw on edge. IF
their object is notorIety or laugh, thi.
Is the way to attain it; but if it be busi-
ness 1t would seem better to use The Ian
suage OF business, Leave clowns Jest,
to the circus, and let sober men speak a.
they act, with dlrectness and decision.
The iewest words that will convey the
ad vsrtser'a ideas are the Eight ones
Men OF business are partly aware Of
the immmenss change which 4 few wears
have wrought in the power OF The Pub
lie Press. A few years since, a circulA.
ton OF three thousand copies was 4 very
large one for daily paper; now there
are iournals issuing forty to fifty thou
sand copies daily, while lists of ten to
twenty thousand are frequent aud rapidly
increasing. As = general rule, an adver-
tisement in paper now will meet the
eyes OF four to ten times as many pstson,
az like announcement would have don,
twenty years ago. It is easy TO place one
where it will meet the eyes of one hum
dred thousand persons within two DAYS,
or, by using halt dozen papers, to ebal-
lenge the attestion Of half million per-
sons. When it 10 practicable to attain
such publicity at the cost OF a few dolIars
and when some actually DO Obtain il,
how can those who neglect it expect to
build upa new business. An old one
may subsist, until it's customers gradually
drop off BY death or REMOVAL but he who
would build up a business now mus.
"be like the time" and improve the id.
vantages it offers. foremost among
these 10 the facility now 30 cheaply al.
forded for General Advertising. 10 ne
gleet it is like resolving never to travel
by steam nor communicate BY telegraph.
II is 10 close eaes eyes to the light, and
insist on living in perpetual darkness.
An individual may do this at his own
cost; but community, class will never

ADVANCES Of advertising not only rob,
himself Of hisfair advantages, but b.stows
the spolls on his wiser rivals.

wrote to the Republican and Argus a
glowing account OF the speech of Mr..
Lowe a. this place, and stated that "many
a Reform Wing was clinched in his de-
termination to vote for him. 1t is scarce

here he will lose it.

WHAT IS True The Southern ultraists affirm
that to avoid civil war; Congress offers 100000
for about 100000 square miles of Texas, to con-
vert into States with constitutions like that of Cali
fornia So the case is stated by J. A. CAMPBELL,
Esq, Of Mobile, lawyer, we believe, of high re-
spectabty and standing. in letter addressed to
certain citizens who invited him to address seces-
sion meeting
The Northern ultraists declare that Congress has
robbed New Mexico Of $4,000 square miles, which
have been converted into slave territory, and have
paid Texas Sl0000,O00 into the bargain.
They are fighting the battle on these respective
issues North and South. Both statements obviously
cannot be true; but their difference demonstrates
the entire recklessness of assertion on one side or
the other, if not on both sides.-Rpubhc.

not condescend 10 explain but we suppose their
theory must be borrowed from certain members OF

SOME THINGS THAT CONGRESS OUGHT TO
HAVE DONE.

HAVE DONE
The National Iateligencer, speaking of the close
of the session of Congress, concludes its remarks
as follows:
"Of those which appeared us imperativey
demand legislative nterposon, but which have failed to re-
ceive it. the great subject Of the depressed condition
the manufactures of the countrythat Of iron especially
requiring modification of the Tariff and the River and
Harbor Bill the passage Of which due the great in
eests and wants of the West hitherto sufficiently regard
ed and respected by the General Government This last BILL
have doubt would have commanded maorties in both
Houses of Congress could have been reached in time to
pass upon it. !"
We look upon the neglect of the River and Har-
Dor Bill as wholly inexcusable. majority, it is
said, was in favor of the bill. If this be so, and
we do not doubt it, that majority could have passed
the bill, and should have passed it. Where there
is determined wiN, there is ,cay. If the ma
joriy had united in action, and had agreed on the
time to act, they could not have been prevented
from acting by the minority. "The great interests
and wants of the West, hitherto not sufficiently re-
garded and respected by the General Government
should be attended to and Western members can
command attention and regard if they will act to-
gether. The improvement of our rivers and har-
bors has been banded about long enough. II is
time something was done. Time and way is
found to reach and act on less important measures,
and this great measure must be attended to-

We really do not know whether the furious abo-
ltonsts Of the North or the furious ultras of the
South are most violent against the compromise
measures adopted by Congress. Both factions have
been setting their hearts upon the breaking up Of
the Union, and both are Of course sorely vexed
that any Thing at all in the shape of compromise
has been effected The Northern abolitionists swear
that the compromise so called yields every thing to
the South, and the Southern ultras swear that it
yields every thing to the North, and the swearngs
of both are entitled to equal credit

! FLORIDA ELEcTIoN--IHe Disun;on Question.
in a new Phase.-The election of Representatiye
in Congress- Assemblymen, and portion Of the
State Senators took place in FLORIDA on Monday
last. We have not had time to receive any infor-
nation Of the result and shall not know il certainly
| for fortnight to come. The Congressional can
vass has been one-sded, as the protracton of the
session Of Congress prevented Mr.. Cabell from re-
turning to his State before the election. We shall
soon learn whether his absence operated to his
prejudice. He and his opponent, Major Beard,
were at issue upon vital point which we wish
the people of Florida could have heard them dis
cuss. Soon after Major Beard was declared a can
didate, he avowed emphatcally that he preferred
dissolution of the Union to the passage of the
Compromise bill. Well, the Compromise bill
that is, the Omnibus failed but its several parts
afterwards prevailed. Of course, Major Boards
avowal equally pertinent to the separate bills
as to the "Omnibus." Mr.. Cabell, holding him
committed to disunion in preference to acquescence
in the measures passed by Congress, promptly
made up the issue with him, and appealed to the
people of Florida to decide it between them in
the Congressional election. II is evident from
the tone Of the Florida papers that party feeling
is too strong to allow calm expression of the
popular will on this momentous question but we
have very little apprehension that the course
which Mr. Cabell has pursued, or his conlemna-
uoH vi Vic uisunion movement, VIII lose hun sup

they dwelt much upon the wrongs of the South,
declined TO declare themselves for dsunion. One
of them, Mr.. Hilton, thought it prudent to resist
the conclusion that Major Boards declaration
would constrain him to be now for dissolution of
the Union. His argument, as reported to the SEN

OHIO ELECTION.

The reports from Ohio appear to be, generally,
favorable to the Wings. They gain State Sena-
tor from Summit and Portage, which gives TO them
the Senate, unless oyerbalanced elsewhere. In the
other branch Of the Legislature they have thus far
gained FIVE members, viz one in each of the coun-
ties of Jefferson, Franklin, Summit, Coshocton,
and Cuyahoga. 1t is also stated that they gain
two IN Licking. This will give them the ascen-
dency in the Legislature, and enable them to electa
United States Senator both for the existing vacancy
and for the full term.
For Governor, there were three candidates in the
field: WILLIAM JOHNSON, Wing REUBEN WooD,
Democrat and EDWARD SMITH, Free Soil. The
returns are yet SO imperfect that we deem their
publication unnecessary.
