Mistaken Policy.
What mistaken notion it is that those
articles obtained for the smallest sum e al
ways the chsapst-that it is profitable to en-
ploy such labor only as is obtained at the
lowest price; or that when you want an ar
ticle, to deny yourself of it until tie price
falls, or spend half day cheapening It, or
trying to do better some place else; losing more
time perhaps than it would take to earn
enough to purchase the article wanted
Such persons forget that "time is money!"
and that it is better to pay big price Tor
good article than to have poor one for no
thing.
We have known house-keepers continual
ly grumbling that they could not keep their
children decentIy clad, although they were
always buying for them, for their clothes
uore out so soon. No woader. for they bought
nothing but what was cheap, and consequent
ly, in nine cases out of ten. good for nothing
We have know n business % men employ
incompetent clerks, because their services
were cheap. and they uoun do. Yes. and a
very pretty do it is sometimes, for we have
known these very same men to lose in Z
single transaction, through the incapacity Of
these same wiN do clerks, more than enough
to pay competent men liberal wages for do
ing their business right.
We have known men who had produce to

cause freights happened to be q few cents

move it q time or two ON account Of high
water, and then. after all their trouble, pay
a large advance on freight, and have the sat
isfactlon of getting their produce off just in

Pursuant to public call for meeting OF our
citizens who were opposed to the principles
of the Douglas Nebraska bill now before
Congress, a very respectable audience con-
vened at Apollo Hall on Saturday evening.
The meeting was organized by the election
OF Jas. E Blythe. Esq, as chairman, and s.
L. Kenyon, Secretary.
The chairman, in stating the object OF the
meeting, remarked that in his opinion the
call had been Improperly made, inasmuch as
only portion of our citizens had been invt
ed to participate, and in his judgm mt, the
question which they had met to consider W as
one that should net be controlled by any
party or sectional restrictions. He there
fore suggested that the meeting should ad.
journ to some future day, and that general
notice be given to all citizens of whatsoever
party, to M ct and discuss the question. A
dispositi IN was manifested by The friends OF
Douglas and his bill, 10 prevent the adjourn
ment, denouncing the meeting az "fizzlp,"
and after the motion to adjourn had been de-
clared by the chairman carried, division
was called for, and the decision of the chair
sustained BY large vote.
A highly interesting discussion ersupd, in
winch Dir. DENLY. Of the Enquirer, support
ed the bill and denounced the objects Of the
meeting, reitcrating that the whole thing
was 4 ..izzl-" founded in the gross igno-
rance OF the people urOn the provisions OF
the bill itself. and said that the Democratic
party had washed their hands from all oppo-
sition To its passage, and that a large majoi-
ty OF this community, both Wings and Dem
ocra,s were in favor of the me assure.
Judge Baker followed in opposition in an
able speech upon the merits of the question,
annihiat .ng the positions Of the first speaker
in a most unmerciul manner. MIR. White
sey IAN old Demo, ra) made some very for
chile and pointed remarks in opposition to
the bill, denying shat Democrats generally
favored it in this community. DIR. Row'ey
also made some very pertinent remarks in re-
ply to Mr.. DENLY.
Messrs. Harlan and McGrew alss spoke
in opposition to the bill and in favor of ad.
journment TO future day.
The chairman, Mr.. Blythe, next followed
in one of his eloquent efforts, and dwelt with
much severity upon the positions assumed by
the first speaker.
He asked permission to define his position
upon the subject now, in view of his probable
absence at the proposed future meeting
After listening to the above speeches with
marked attention, the audience gave unms-
taxable evidence that deep interest haC
been aroused in op position to the principle:
end provisions of the Nebraska bill.
AS Secretary Of the meeting, we have only
attempted to give synopsis of the proceed
inrs, and furbear comments for the present
A motion was made and carried to adjourn
the meeting to Thursday the 10th OF March

tary to make general public call upon al
