FOR CASH ONLY.

The Amount of goods in our line purchased
by country merchants is usually quite small
compared with their dry goods, hardware, and
other bills, and this very circumstance abso-
luteIy compcIs jobbers in the book business,
who sell on time, to get larger profits in Or
der to make up for the losses and extra ex-
ccnscs necessarily involved in credit bust
ness of small amounts. Ii is also easy for the
merchant TO make arrangements TO buy his
book bli for cash though it might not be so
cons cnicnt for him to purchase his larger bills
in this Nay.
These considerations have led us 10 adopt
in our business, from this date, January 1854,
the following principles, viz. SMALL PROFITS,
JNvARYING PEICES AND TERMS ALWAYS CASH.
Being ourselves the sole publishers Of 4
uumbcr OF the leading and most extensively
selling School Books in the country, as well
rs works in other departments, our facilities
arc unsurpassed.
Call upon Us, or send an order, and Judge
for yourselves, if the saving you can make by
buying OF Us for cash is worth While.
Our location is very central, and easily
found. Stand on the Asior house steps, and
look straight forward across the corner of the
Park. and you cannot avoid seeing our signs.

k0Ssuth'S Speech,

This speech has been transmitted in
the New ork Tribune, In which paper
OF the 10Th inst 1t is published in advance
of the reception of the news of its delive.
ry. 1t Is one of kossnth's greatest efforts.
According to Kossuth. the only means of
securing the West Of Europe against en-
croachmcnts of Russia is the reconstruc-
tion Of Poland, followed by the restora-
tion of the other lately subjugated and
suppressed nationalities Of the Continent.
Poland with him is the wedge. and the
only one with which to split the Russian
Empire. England has many weak points,
says kossuth-in Austria, India. the
Mediterranean, &c-but Russia has but
one. and that is Poland
Kossuth freely criticizes the operations
of the English and French in the Criipea.
Although he says.
History must 20 back for centuries to
find out an other battle Ike that of Inker-
man. where $4,000 men victoriously re-
sisted the valorous attack of $4,000 we'll
disciplined troops, and where almost every
man who fought on the side of the Allies
LAID low one of the enemy. The battle of
! Alma. defective as it was in disposition,
! and therefore barren in its results, has
| been glorious in execution. and covered
with the lustre of immortality the renown
of the British and soldiery; but the bat

to the last. prodigy of valor, scarce
ly inferior to the miracles of Agincourt."
Still lie thinks that the descent OH the
! Crimea was mistake; that instead of

ported. Polish legion formed in London,
and sent into Russia by Riga; and thus
Russia threatened from the north and

soon yielded to the pressure against hce,
