The DEMocRATIc MEETING AT THE
CoURT HoUsE.-On Thursday evening
Judge Burchar,I addressed the Democracy
in the Court House. The house was
crowded with hearers of all kinds of po.
litical views, and the Judge was listened
10 with marked attention. He delivered
a we'll arranged speech, and in very
gcnllemanly style. Judge Burchard
would appear extremely awkward if at
any time he should attempt to act in any
other character than that of the perfect
gentleman. At the close of the speech,
Judge Kennon-who was present-at
the instance of Col. NJ Cook, was invited
to take the stand, The Judge rose
to his feet and surveyed the audience
with an expression which fully satisfied
US that he was reluctantly interrupted
from the investigation Of some legal or
mathematical proposition, which had not
the most distant connection with the ex-
ercises of the meeting. After a vigorous
effort the Judge succeeded in bringing
his mind to dwell for one moment upon
the politics of the country. He stated
distinctly that he intended 10 vote for Mr..
Buchanan. lst. Because he was an ex-
perienced statesman. I'd. Because he was
National man. He was opposed 10
Fremont, lst. Because he was inexperi-
enced in craftsmanship and Cd. For the
reason that he considered him Sectional
candidate and thus ended the exercises
of the evening. .a,..5. rr. 30

ADVANTAGES of AdYertising

Mr.. JOHN MOORE, who advertised his
farm for sale-a few weeks sgO-in the
True american, sold it the other day for
his price, $40 per acre. He had been
trying for year past to sell without ad-
verlising, but it was no go. He says the
advertisement was the exciting cause of
his good fortune. This is by ro means a
solitary case. Mr.. CALDEN. of Warren
Township, in this county, advertised his
farm for sale in our paper some time since,
and on the very day and date of our issue,
and before any Of the papers were sent
from the office, he sold his farm for the
round sum of $4,000. May it not be
true that The very disposition to patronise
the printer was in this case rewarded an
homdrsd foMe What is true of adver-
Using is equally true in relation to taking,
and especially paying for newspapers,
There are hundreds Of our patrons who,
two years ago, were greatly embarrassed
in their circumstances, who are now en-
,irely relieved and in affiuance. Whether
this change for the better is 10 be ascribed
to the abundant crops, with which our
country has been blessed, and to the gen.
eral improvement in the commercial affairs
of the country, or to taking the Iri'
american, we leave those who are les;
interested in the matter than we are Il
decide. One thing is very certain, how
ever, and that is, we most earnestly de
sire to increase both our subscription lis
and our advertising patronage. The for
mer can be done if our friends will only
put forth little effort in our behalf, ant
the latter should not be left undone, i
farmers and owners Of real estate desire
to sell, and if merchants and manufactu
rers wish to prosper in their business.
