BoSTW!CK BEATTY; for a thousand reasons,
hare concluded to close their books the 4h Of July
next aud Ia extend credit to porson after that time.
We have tried the credit system and know what it is,
We know its adv Intges and particularly its dsadvan
tges, and now we going TO try the cash aud ready
pay, or ready produce system, believing that il be
done here as well as In many other places; havo
tn, courage II make the experiment and we wish to
have it distinctly understood through this card that
do not trust after The fourth of July next SO that VIC
may not have the unpleasant duty perform OF refus
Ing soIue of our Old and ell tried customers.
We believe the ready pay system 10 be the only true
method of doing business and hence better in the end
for both buyer and seller. pa
Under tie credit syston, those who always pay down
for their goods either in cash produce ustOf course
pay an extra profit to the merchant to enable him to
sustain the losses and the expense of doing credit
business Every reasoning mind must see at once,
that the merchant must put from ten to twelve per cent
more on his goods, when ho is obliged TO give long
credits, aud take long notes (written parchmeDu
Tor pay. We propose therefore to give the benefit or
this extra profit 10 tho man who pays down for his
goo ds, and all who viii come TO us with the ready pay
will fluid our assertions true fthey are judges Of goods
and prices.
An old store debt is the hardest in the world to pay;
it grows faster thas tho money in y,ur purses, and
when the time comes to pay up It'll all gone for some
thing else Therefore advise all those who wish to
keep of debt to raise the cash produce and
to MS to trade you will find that you have not only
ycd money, but you will owe no merchant.
| Tie true policy is, pay as you 90. -. .

a matter Of regret that the speech was not

Course Of pabIic opinion had not been thus
checked.
We see that the Ere. Journal discrcetIy
curtails it, The Iribuas refuses TO defend
it. The Boston Advertiser, the New York
Express, and score of other papers, con-
demn it. Gen. Cass pronounced it speech
such as he had never before heard, and the
Senators assailed refused to reply to 1t, and
pronounced it unworthy of an answer.

to strike out Those accusations, which prov

Breckenridge 256-nominatiun was unan-
imous, and received with immense applause.
Breckenridge being loudly called for, took
the stand amidst deafening cheers. and said
the result was quite unexpected; in the per-
sonal aspect of it he had no words to express
the profound gratitude he felt for this mark of
honor and confidence from the Democrats
OF the United States. He did not intend to
make speech, but only to return thinks
from his heart for the honors done him; with
respect to the first nomination, he could ON
ly say Mr.. Buchanan had lived down detrac-
ton and calumny, and was now about to
be crowned with the highest honors to be
conferred on an American citizen. He es-

There were delegates here, who were moi
prepared to adopt all these resolutions; and

When the vote OF Texas was called, Mr..

We heartily concur in the nomination of
