The Twin sisters Democracy and

The last mail from the North has put us. in
possession of details of the proceedings of the
twin conventions of the Democratic and Freesoi
parties in MiddleseX county, Massachusetts
which resulted-as the reader is probably aware
lin the formation Of an alliance sworn to wage
war on the Wings and the Fugitive Slave Law
The Freesoil Convention, at q very early
stage, appointed committee to nominate Sena-
torial candidates, and "confer with such com.
mittee as may be appointed by the Democratic
Convention" The vote had scarcely passed
when representative of the latter body ap-
peared to announce that a Democratic Commit
tee had been chosen, to make or receive over
lures, as occasion might require. 1.-THE an
nouncement, says one report, ''was marked bv
loud applause" Without attempting to chroni-
Gle every step on either side, we may state that
the SAT-, committees met in sweet communion,
and succeeded hi concoct!ng list of Senatorial
candidates, three of whom are Freesoilers, and
three full-blooded Democrats; and tnStt this list
was unanimously ratified by both conventions

"He did so because he believed it would be
the means of promoting the great objects which
gave to Freesoilism its distinctive character.
He stigmatized the Wing party as the support
ers of the Fugitive Slave Law. He
was in favor still of the principles of the Buffalo
platform, which would stand forever. When
the Buffalo platform goes down, all that is left of
human rights goes down with it,"
Mr.. Dodge, Of Cambridge, abused the Wings,
and chaunted the praises of the Democratic
party, whose past was described as bad enough,
but who have ''aided in eleeting Charles Sum

The Syracuse 0utrage--Whis Fidelity to
Law

! In laying before our readers The following copy
OF handful recently printed and circulated III
Syracuse, in the State of New York, we would
call their attention to the fact it states that the
Wings Of that city are alone responsible for the
attempt to punish the late nfraction OF the fusi-
tive slave law. OF this we can have no doubt
when we know that the Democrats of Syracuse
have made mayor of Horace Wheaton,, tho
rough-going Democratic Aboltionist, who has
always been identified with the slavery agitation,
to whose traitorous inetficiency7i it is owing that
the late forcble resistance to the law in that CITY
was successful, and whom they yet propose to
elevate to the office of canal commissioner:
10 THE Wing OFFICIAL OF SYRACUsE--If
the Wing party attempt to enforce the fugitive
slave law upon Syracuse by the law of treason,
then let the cry be" Death 10 The Hhig Partv!''
The penalties of the fugitive slave law are bad
enough without adding to them the infamous
death penalties of the law OF treason. If this is
done to accommodate the party in power-the
Wing party, which alone can do it, because it is
IN power-then let every friend of freedom, of
Whatever party, denounce against the Wing par
ty the penalty OF death. 1t is traitor to God
and man, and to the honor and peace of Syracuse
and the country. The President is a Wing; his
officials here, who have charge of this matter in
all its parts, are Wings. The Wings of this civ
only are responsible for any attemp t to stretch
the necks Of the people for resisting. efforts 40
enforce this hellish law upon us. The President
has put his commands on them. We also nut
our commands on them; and, il they touch The
hair OF any Of our heads for treason in this mat
ter, then let every friend of freedom hate the
Wing party; and hurry it to infamy and the grave.
The leading Wing paper of this StateoThe
New York Daily 1imeS-which is got I'D ON
purpose to defend the new Wing Compromise
at Albany, has already sounded the note OF a.
larm. lie says the attempt to construct treason
upon resistance to an officer in attempting to

Our citizens last week witnessed two beauti-
full bolloon ascensions by the distinguished A.

Every business man sho1ld advertise, be his
pursuit professional, mechanical, or mercantile.
1t is flying in the face Of ali experience, to
maintain that advertising does not extend mans
business When ole man advertises, every
other in The same line Of business must advertise
also, or lose custom.
Men should advertise, not only for their sep
arate, individual advantage, but for the same
reason that they contribute money to lay off a
public square, grade a street, or build levee-
because il is a public benefit. People abroad
judge Of the amount and condition of business in
any town, and the business character of its in
habitsnts, by the appearance of its newspapers.
For instance, you take up paper published in
some inland town, and find but two or three
columns Of advertisements in it--you naturally
conclude that il is shabby sort of town; that
there is nothing inthe place worth advertising.
On the contrary, If you see newspaper we'll
hlled with advertisements, you suppose there is
a large number and great variety of employments
in that place. that trade thrives that the bus
mess men are energetic, because you see that
they are endeavoring to push themselves and
t'eiT Business forward, Sueh community is
most attractive to enterprising men. In short,
newspapers are looked upon as mirrors, re-
iecting the business features of the place
whence they emanate. O
So far as we are individually concerned, we
are not prepared to assert, positively, that our
circulation is larger or better than that Of any
paper published in this section, for the simple
reason that weoreally do not know what the
circulations of the other papers are. We have
never examined the publishers books, and it is
therefore quite impossible for us TO tell how
many papers they send TO subscribers, or prie7.
they send them 10. But we know something
about our own business we know that our cir
culation was good before annexing the old Jour-
nal list that upon the addition of that list, it
was large; and that since that tisne it has been
constantly and rapidly increasing, partly from
unsolicited subscriptions, and partly from the
assistance of local and travelling agents. At
considerable expense, we have had four travel
ing agents in the field, and they have added
largely to our subscription list, in this and other
counties; so that we are now prepared to say,
sincerely and truly, that we believe this paper
has larger circulation than any paper published
in this section, and we know that it circulates in
such localities, and to such an extent, as to rem
der it profitable medium for advertising.
