When man can forget advertising, let
him shut up shop. Men of all trades
and professions should take advantage
OF advertisements to make their merits,
or the merits of their wares, known to

accrue to themselves and publishers
generally. Lawyers, authors and ar
lists are in this particular too modest.

was again brought forward in close

100 votes in very large poll-Mr.
Clay's majority for President in that
District having been only 1873. In 1S49
he was reelected from that District
without opposition. At the late cleo
ton, he was a candidate for Lieut.. Gov
ernor, and elected by handsome ma
jori'y, though the Wing candidate for
Governor Dixon) was beaten. We
presume he will continue to act as Lieut..
Governor till required to take his seat
in the Ser ate. He was taken up for
Senator at the eleventh hour, on account
OF the impossibility of concentrating the
Wing vote on MIR. Dixon or Secretary
