MdSaG ChCseIts,

The Democrats and the I',eesoers, have held
their State Conventions, and they were both such
as afford the most significant results The Dem.
ocratic at tacnburg, week before last, was atcl
led by about lice delegates, and roroinatcdlIcn-
~ w, Bishop for Governor, aud . D. rhomp.
son for Lt. Governor. On the question of con.
unuing coalition with The FrcesoIers. it was
found that full three touuhs were in favor of it
whoreupon, the bunker proslavory portion boted
took another building, organized and resolved
in effect to 60 it pure and uncoutaminate1 tol
the South and Slavery, This portion will
probably 90 with the Wcbsteres for Pierce ant
negro catching, leaving the great mass OF The
democracy Of that Slate, to follow the lead 0
the latnented Rautoul, and eventually become
as we trust, indeed the true deciples Of Jefferson
and consequently the friends Of freedom.
Last week, the FreeSoiers held their State
Convention at Lowell, where the friends o
Ere dom, rallied in numbers never before cqnalot
at any convention in that State, over 5000 being
present Horace Mann, was nominated fol-
Governor, and Amasa Walker for LIT. Governor
than whom no two men in Massachusetts, are
more worthy. Able speeches were made, spir
tied resolutions were passed and the whole
proceedings wore characterized with great abil-
ity and enthusiasm. Massachusetts, as in the
old revolution, is again taking the lead 10 the
new contest for Liberty and Right. The fires are
everywhere rekinding on her old altaIs, and
blazing up brightly towards the heavens. God
speed her in her GLORIOUS career;

In the DemGcratic Convention, the pro.slavcry

were held in check by The unprecedented thunlets

who were ready to sacrifice honor, duty, relig

Barnum's Opinion about Advertising.
The following extract is taken from
Freedley's Practical Treatise on Busi-
ness" 1t is from the pen of the cele-
brated P. T. Barnum:
Advertise your business. Do not hide
your light under bushel. Whatever
your occupation or calling may be, if it
needs support from the public, adver-
tise it thoroughly and efficiently, in
some shape or other, that will arrest
public attention. freely confess that
what success l have had in life may
fairly be attributed more totthe public
press than to nearly all other causes
combined. There may possibly be oe-
cupations that do not require advertis-
ing, but cannot we'll conceive what
they are. Men in business will some
times tell you that they have tried ad-
vertising, and that it did not pay. This
is only when advertising is done spar
ingly and grudgingly. Homeopathic
doses of advertising will not pay, per-
haps-it is like half a potion of physic
the patient sick, but effect
ing nothing. Administer literally, and
the cure will be sure and permanent.

THE POETS, CORNER


THE ARGOST.
In the emerald meadows,
Below leafy hill,
A child had launched his navy
OF lilies on the hill;
A precious little argosy,
Those lilies fresh and white:
As on the dancing waves they rode
He shouted with delight.
He watched their dainty beauty,
As they gaily foated on,
Now toying round the velvet banks
And rocking in the sun;
And then, like silver arrows,
In waves Of winter light,
A fashiag down the foaming fall,
And shooting out Of sight.
g The birds sung pnans Ger him,
The sky was fragrant skill
Bright butterflies sailed round his ships,
Soft winds crept from the hill;
His loose locks floating in the sun,
He warbles with the stream,
For life there in the meadows,
Had the glory Of dream.
Beside mighty river,
Where ii meets the sounding main,
&Au oAu uldA kd" AkA STATELY SAipS
Floating off to sea again.
Winds nesting in their great white wings,
And rainbows arehed each Prov,
With streaming banners on they speed;
Why clouds his furrowed brow?
The old man sits and ponders
When night winds vex the sea,
And booming pillows pain his ear
With awful prophecy
Alas! his treasures bring no joy,
His sleep Is not Tepose-
Like the deep rush OF the river,
/; His restless being flows.
o His stately ship returns no more,
He bends beneath his care.
But still looks cut upon the deep
To see il they are there;
His brain grows faint with thinking,
Forthoughts ike spectres rise,
Till the soothing hand of slumber
Softly shuts his aching eyes.
He sports now by the streamlet,
In the meadows green and wide;
He sees his ships of lilies
Ga the sunny ripples glide;
The soft breeze wantons with his hair,
His heart leaps blithe and free
But hush, no breath-a shoreless main
Bears on Iife's argosy.

whenever she meets him in company,
at church, at the theatre, or in her

ny, to friend of the young man, Tell

There, that is coming to the point at
once, and not going round about with
bushes and simpering, and finally get

is the use of making such stammer-
ing and suffering about it, when one
is isoverjoyed with pleasure?
The ladies of Rome do not seem to
be at all troubled with any undue re-
straints of delicacy and modesty. They
say what they think, and act accord
ingly. On the contrary, our American
ladies are so modest and bashful, that
they let all the good opportunities slip
through their fingers while they are
blushing behind fan. They would
not, for the world, let young man sup
pose they cared about him, though they
might be dying with love. Now We
think it best to split the difference
The Roman ladies go rather too fast,
and American ladies little too slow
Our advice is, that you take for your
"platform !'the COMPROMISED and
unite the two. Medium ground is gene
rally safe. But don't forget that time
is flying.
