A merchant must aOt be satisfied with ad
ver,isng, says the Philadelphia Merchant but
must be wise 10 choosing the mediums for his
advertisements. Some people use only the
papers connected with their own political
party, which is wise only on the supposision
that they want the patronage OF no others but
those with whom they agree in politics. They
will agree, sometimes, to help political press
by giving 10 it all their advertising, when it
would be better TO give donation and secure
the privilege of advertising elsewhere. Some
90 for an independent" or neutral journa,
and forget that all the customers they wish do
not belong 10 the Independents or the neutrals,
and while they are gratifying passion for
reform, or an indifference TO parties, they are
doing violence TO the best interests Of business.
Many persons are betrayed by the greatness Of
the circulation of some papers, whereas
paper whose circulation is only fifteen or
twenty thousand, is sometimes more valuable
as an advertising medium than one that can
boast of its forty or City thousand; because the
former may go among more readers, and the
right kind Of readers, than the latter. Fifty
thossand pspers circulated among the lower
classes Is worth less TO the advertiser than five
thousand which 90 among the middle and
upper classes; and the fact Of advertising being
offered At "very cheap" rates is enough to
settle the case with The knowing ones that that
paper is the proper medium. And then, too.
IL man wants the trade Of vast region, he
must DOT be contented with advertising 10
small country papers, bat must seek out the
paper which Is most diifasive in lis circulation,
eiabraclng my States in its extension, and
commanding tbs notes Of the merchants, trad
ers manufactures and chief artisans In ali
eepartments OF business life. To adsertise Is

WASHINGTON, Friday, JAM Is, 1856.
Hon. I'm. L. Marcy, Secretary of State Of the
United States:
had the honor to address your Exceeney,
a not, under date of the 10th of last month, the
sole objectoi which was to request in interview
with your Excelency before laying my Gre
dentials before your Government. To my
establishment, you placed different interpre-
taton on the note from my intent's. Your
Excellency's reply, under date of the 2lst of
the same month, informed me of this fact
Your reply also establishes new and startling
precedent-tbat is, you cannot hereafter re-
ceive any diplomatic agent unless the govern
ment he represents is established by the
untramineled expression of democratic will
1t seems tO ire that the following extract from
your letter is conclusive of the new rule for
the recognition. as just alluded TO. You say /:
"Those who were chiefly instrumental in
suspending or overtlrowing the former Gov
eminent of that Stale (Nicaragua) We're not
citizens belonging to it; nor have those citizens,
or any considerable part of them, so far as is
known here, freely expressed their approval
of, or acquiescence in, the present condition OF
political affairs in Nicaragua. Until snch shall
be the case the President does not deem it
proper TO receive you, or ,ny one, as Minis,
ter 10 this Government dolly appointed by the
Supreme Government of Nicaragua"
Thus, your Excelency will perceive that,
under the same ruling, the Minister of Eng
Iand, France, or Russia, should not be recogniz
cd BY your Government, because you have no
assurance that any pert of the people of those
countries have ''freely expressed their approval
OF, or aequiescence in, the present condition OF
political" affairs governing them at this mo-
nent. You thus necessarily Interfere with
the internal affairs OF other nations.
Regretting that you should have miscon
strued my last communication, aud that you
authorized the late arrest OF my person in
New YorS, and thereby the indihnity shown
against tile Government have the honor 10
represent, | therefore respectfully request that
you viii not consider my credentials us before
your Government for the present.
aln, sir, your obedient servant,
