Ey-The WH1Gs of Massachusetts, at their
late State Convention, passed among Others the
following resolutions:
Rsso1ced That the statute known as the
personal Liberty Bill'' passed by the Legisla-
tnre in such an extraordinary manner by fana-
teal and reckless majorities without the exec
utive assent, and in defiance Of the highest ju-
dicial authority, is disgraceful to body of men
sworn to support the Constitution, and should
be erased from the Statute Book, before coils
ion with federal authorities and blood shed
shall follow any attempt to carry its provisions
into effect.
Resolfed. That the success in national
election of a northern party based upon the
single issue of opposition to slavery, must put
|the existence Of the union in peril, and the de
feat of such party must paralyze the anti
slavery sentiment of tho north !; and that if a
union Of parties shall ever become necessary,
it will be a union of national patriots in all
parts of the land to rescue the great interests
CT the country from the assaults Of sectional
fanatics.

THIS article, designed for
| FASTENING WINDOWS,
has become the general iivorite for that purpose
wherever it is known. 1t is universally allowed
by all who are acquainted with its merits that all
other lastenings for windows are almost worthless.
Those who see and examine the LOCK for
themselves, need no further recommendations.
Its simplicity and perfect adaptation to the purpose
designed, are readily seen.
THIS WINDOW LOCK
is intended for Upper Sash as well as Lower, thus
aiordng an opportunity to Ventilate your rooms
with perfect safety in I'LL weather. 1t operates
also as n Lock to instcn down the window when
down, and tastcn it up when raised, operating
with uncrling certainty.
The window is easily adjusted by means of this
Lock, and it need only be seen to be approvcdby
all.
Mechanics speak highly in its favor and recon-
mend it to all who need anything of the kind.

flowed the bounds of the Constitution. The

Tie SECRET OF ADvERTIsISG.-'Fhe man in bu-
SIneSs who does not advertise, cannot expect TO
prosper. In all commercial communities, the
publicity thus gwen is the key stone OF fortunes
arch. Americans are advertisers par excellence,
and 1t Is not 10 be doubted, that our present posi-
ton, aud our progress as nntlom, III all material
points, are 10 be traced TO our Sense Of the aTgu-
ment we have laid down.
The necessity for advertising once established,
the first query that must suggest itself, is what
Is The best medium to select. Here many sad
mistakes are made. 1t is the impression, OF nu.
metouS persons in trade, particularly oil the young
Beginners, that the paper OF the highest cIrcula-
ton (Teal or pretended)iS tile best tor them. A
lew words, however, will diSpeI this deluSien. II
Is not precisely the aggregate of leaders, but the
sort oil readers that an advertiser should conSidr
we could name many papers supposed TO sell lorty
thousand copies Week, III which tTadrSmau or
professional man may advertise with less adyan-
tage TO himself than IN others of ten or twelve
thousand. The reason of this apparent anomaly
must be sought in the adaptabilty of the wares
advertised, TO the class of persons appealed to-
fhuS-and we are not travelling out oil our way for
example, these sort Of things being governed ON
tie saTne principles all over the civilized world
a London paper tthe Exalniner) whose returns are
seven thousand weekly, could purchase three
times over the advertising interest OF another Lem
don paper (the Dlspatchl which sells eighty thou
sand. glance at the two papers will show why
this is. The ordinary multitude read one, who,
wIthoutdou are the principal patrons OF adver-
tisets in general.
Many journals, we know, are started in differ
ent places, and their presumed claims OIL the I'D
verlSer'S patronage, and 10 confirm What is moth
ing more than silly error at best, the propretors'
aim is to give these sheets fictitious circulation
Foolish people may be taken with the bait, but
we believe that were nine nine out of every hun
died of our really practical men to be questioned
on the point, they would decide in accordance
with ourselves-that it IS the sort OF people pa
per goes among, who are most likely to benefit its
advertising friends-not the rough numbers, even
1t established TO the last unit Of the supposed
sum total.-Suuddy Mercury.
