CheaU Postage and its Results,

Among the advantages of the New Postage Law, is
the facility afforded by men of business, to give pub
licity to their occupation.
We are credibly informed that the Messrs EMORY
& Co. the Brokers of Baltimore have paid during the
Past Year for advertising and Postage an amount
ceeding $4,000 showing that since the New Law
has gone into effect, they have been induced more
extensively than ever to circulate the Newspapers
in which their advertisements appear, and from the
fact that before this many persons were not aware to
whom to apply for ticketsin al lotteries Of which
Messrs EMORY & Co. are agents for the State, Their
oaers have considerably inereassdj Of late they hays

To the printers in the counties around we would say
that they can be supplied with news, and wrapping
paper of all sizes and qualities at Mobile prices APP
plication to this Office. We will keep on hand du-
ring the year large supply paper, and if the press
at Macon, Starkvlle Houston, and Aberdeen, will in
form US how many reams they will require till Feb.
1854, and the size needed, will order it manufact
ured at once, and keep it for sale at Columbus.
1t is not always convenient for printers to purchase
years supply during the boating season, and if they
are they lie out of the of the money. If they can
get it in small lots at wholesale prices is better
should think. II the printers think so and will give
the necessary instructions, we will supply them as
cheap as they can get it at Mobile.

What course shall we Adopt !

This question is looming up in the pathway of par=
ty action, and, as yet, we have solution to it..
A State convention has been called for May This
is all right. But what w-or, what shall that con-
vention do is the question. 1t will nominate, as
usual candidate for Governor, Secretary of State,
Auditor of Public Accounts Treasurer and an Attor-
ney General. This is the legitimate business of the
convention. For the last eight years, it has had no
other business to discharge but now in consequence
ofthe Legislature failing redistric the State, thus
providing for five members in Congress- under the new
apportonment law, instead of four as now it may de-
vove upon that body when it shall meet in May the
necessity of selecting FUe candidates for Congress-
We cannot pretend to say what Governor Foote
will do. Should he issue writs of election for Four
members Congress- to be elected by the districts
they stand, and for One member to be elected by
the people the State at large the action of the
venton must necessariay confined to the nomination
of One congressional candidate Should he-and we
think he will-issue writs for the election of Five
members to congress- by the people of the whole State
it will be necessary for the State convention to select
the Five the districts must select Four as now and
the convention but One.
1t is matter of no Importance what our own opin-
ions are upon this subjective ready to waive them
when see that harmony is to be jeopardzed by our
opposition. But we come to the point We mus
knOo in Advance Of our primary county meetings, acha
shall adopt This is necessary to avoid con-
fusion If there two sets of delegates to be Sc
lected-one for the State and one for District con-
veution-the people should know it. They must be
prepared to act understandiugly, and not have one
county appoint set ofdelegates to district conven-
tion and another set to State enton when there
may be, in adjoining county, but set of dele
gates selected No can fail to the necessity
