The Mayor Of Cincinnati, DAVID T.
SNELLBAKER, has been rendering himself
both obnoxious and ridiculous by some pro-
ceedings in his official capacity, to prevent
Rev. Mr.. Kirkland from addressing the
public on Catholicism. Il appears that
there was lately an exciting election ia the
city for school directors, in which the Cath
oic Candidates we're all defeated. This
election was The immediate occasion Of the
agitation, which is now conyulsing the pub
iic mind. Subsequent TO this election, and
before the ferment it occasioned had subsi.
Ided, it seems that Mr. Kirkland proposed to
address the citizens npon Catholicism. At
this announcement the Mayor interposed
and forbade the preacher from carrying out
his design, on the ground tina, it would in.
cite riot! This'yextraordinary interpo-
sltion Of the Mayor was met, as it deserved
to be. By denial Of IFS propriety or justice,
and the preacher proceeded to address the
crowd which had assembled to hear him.
A, this point, the Mayor appeared with tho
police and large body of special officers,
and obliged him to desist. The effect Of
this conduct was aggravated by the Mayors
granting special escort to an immense
Catholic procession, which, in the after-
noon the same day, amid the ringing Of
belle, and various jubiiant demonstrations,
proceeded to celebrate tho laying Of the
corner stone of a Catholic Church. A pub
lc meeting was Immediately called and
led to the appointment Of Committee Of
= hundred citizens to wait upon the May
Ior, 70 resign ins'anter. The public excite.
ment indicated BY the meeting, and concur
rent circumstances, so alarmed the Mayor,
Or rather showed him what fool be had
made of himself, that he forthwith dispatch.
ed the following note to The Enquirer for
publication:
"MEssRs. EDEToRs: In reference to this man,
Kirkland, it is my purpose not to interfere with
him further, except to protect him / would
any other citizen, unless directed by the Council
10 pursue some other course.
DAVID T. SSELLBAKER.n
Mr.. Kirkland was thus left TO proceed
with his discourses at pleasure. The os-
tensible object Of the Mayor was to pre-
vent riai, but in pursuing the course he
did he has covered himself with contempt,
extended and emb,,ered the animosity
which before existed between the Protest
ants aud Catholics, aud added fuel to an
excitement which was already too great
and pervading.

Hints TO Advertisers.

Hunt Merchants Magazine copies from
an Eastern paper the following homily on
advertising, which We rcpublish for the
benefit Of the two parties the most interesed
the merchants and the mediums not
knocking:
Our merchants are doing the handsome
thing in informing the people where the
good bargains can be made, for proof of
which see our advertising columns. Il is
just as certain that the man who advertscs
freely will do the business, as it is that
everybody likes 10 buy cheap and good
goods. liza man has got goods that are not
it to be seen or bought, it is sensible in him
not TO inform the people Of what he has got .
nor invite them 10 look AT his stock. The
same thing is true Of oil branches of bust
ness, mechanical trades, &C. People look
in the papers nowadays II they want in
formation in relation to al these matters,
and the man that wants their custom must
get it by reaching them though the public
print.
"Oh, fudge !" says some old granny of
man, q" That is all 10 get few dollars out of
me for advertising. I'm loo smart for that.
lfenybody wants my goods or work, think
they will find me, advertise or no advertise
think I'D save that money" Very well
the printer is not half as much a loser as
yourself Try it for year, and then come
to painful realizing sense that your neigh.
Dor has entirely outstripped you in business,
and wonder why It is that everybody is run
ming to him when your goods are as good
as his. All there's the rub" People
WON'T believe that man has got good goods,
if they are not good enough 10 be advertised.
" That's the way they all do now" and if
any man PleaSes to be singular. let him do
i at his own cost we have warned him in,
due season. \

ReA- A generous, viriuous man lives not
to the world, but to his own conscience /;
he, as the planets above, steers a cours,
contrary TO that Of the world.
peA- But one false step, one wrong habit,
one corrupt companion, one loose principle,
may wreck all your prospects, and all the
hopes of those who love you.
e. II is harder 10 avoid ccnsure, than
gain applause, for this may be done by one
great or wise action in an age; but TO escape
censure, a man must pass bis whole life
without saying or doing one i'll thing.
% There is more true greatness in gen.
cTously owning fault and making proper
reparation for il than in obsiinately defend
ing a wrong conduct. But quitting your
purpose, retreat rather like lion than a
cur,
R@- If you act part truly great, you
may expect that inen of mean spirits, who
cannot reach you, will endeavor, by delrac.
ton, to pull you down to their level But
posterity will do you justice for envy will
die with You.
10 II is observed, that the most ceusO-
rious are generally the least judicious who,
having nothing 10 recommend themselves,
will be finding fault with others. No man
enviss the merit Of another that has any OF
his own.
