Advantages of Advertising.

1t has ever been matter of surprise,
and in fact, an inexpIicabe mystery, to
the majority of men, how certain persons
manage to acquire stupendious fortunes
and worldwide fame, while thousands
of others, possessing equal, if not superb
or advantages and opportunities, have
logged along through life in the slow-coach
of poverty and obscurty. To us, who
stand behind the scenes, and see the ma.
chinery, the matter is of easy solution,
and may be summed up in two words /;
they advertise. No class Of men ap-
per to be better posted as to the advan-
tages Of keeping their business before the
public, Than our patent medicine manulac-
turers. Who on this continent has not
heard of DR.. Holloway, DR.. Bragg, DR..
Jayne, DR.. Brandretb, and numerous
others, equally noted, for their enterprise
and skill Scarcely a paper is published
on the face Of the globe, in which these
eminent physicians have not figured
The consequence is, that not only have
they amassed princly fortunes, but the
benefits of their medical skill and medi-
cines have been spread all over the world
and millions of human beings saved from
suffering to death. This vast amount of
good, both private and public, has result
ed from few men being wiser than the
rest of mankind, ,and understanding Il ad-
vantages of advertising to the fullest ex-
tent.
We see by the public journals that DR..
Bragg has recently commenced the manu-.
facture of another article for the relief OF
suffering humanity, and which he calls
the "ARcTIC LINlMENT." This invalua.
BILE compound was originally invented by
DR.. Bragg for the use of the party under
DR.. Kane, on the Grinnell Arctic Expe-
dition, during which its virtues were sub
mitted 10 the severest iesis, and found un-
surpassable (; hence the name "Arctic
Liniment." DR.. Bragg's advertisements
Of this article already appear in most Of
the leading journals of the day, and we

Our Prospects.

Never has there been time, since tile
downfall OF the locofoco party in this
county, when the prospects were more
fattering for the continued success Of the
American and Republican ticket, than the
present. We hear from all parts of the
county, Of one united determination 10
overwhelm the enemies Of freedom with
signal defeat,
The Roman organ of this place has
been iaboring hard to create the impress
sion that there is growing dissatisfaction
in the Republican ranks, with portion
of the ticket, but all such declarations fall
harmless to the ground.
Our talented candidate for the State
Senate, has been by that organ assailed
in a wanton and ungenllemanIy manner,
and in order, if possible, 10 produce an ef.
feet in Coumbiana County-for its edi,
tor is not SO green as 10 suppose that he
can effect anything in this county--itis
alledged that such is the disafectiop, that
Independent candidates will in all proba-
bility be in the fed, and the Locoloco
candidate carry "this county by 500 ma
jority."
We assure Our friends, and the friends
of Mr.. M'Cleary in Coumbiana county,
that all such statements ss the above are
without any foundation in truth We
expect Mr.. M'Cleary to carry the strength
of the party opposed to the FlIibusterng
Bogus Democracy. Esq. M'Cleary is a
true Jeffersonian Republican, and no re.
spectacle man in this county would ven-
ture his reputation for truth and inteli-
gence, by alleging that lie is not well
qualified to represent this district in the
Senate Of the State. We expect TO give
him a majority in this county, Of 500
yoles over his opponent.
1t would be quite an easy matter, to
account for the spleen eyinced by the Ed.

The New SCHOOL ScHIsM.-The
Southern seceders from the New School
Presbyterian Church, in session at Rich

WHEREAS, The relation Of Master and
Servant in itself considered does not pro-
perly belong to the Church judicalories
as subjects of discussion and inquiry
Therefore,
ReSOived, That in the judgement of this
Convention, the General Assembly Of the
Church las no power 10 pronounce SEN
tence of condemnation on a lower judica.
tory, or on individuals, for any cause. ut-
less they have been brought before the
Assembly in the way prescribed by the
Constitution.
RESOLVED, That the Convention recon-
mends all Presbyteries opposed to the
agitation of the question of Slavery, 10
appoint Delegates to the Assembly to
meet at Knoxville on the third Tuesday
of May next, for the purpose of olfecrng
an organization of The General Synod,
under the name of the "Unlled Synod oI
the Presbyterian church of America"
In addition TO the above the Convention
passed three resolutions that the Presby-
terans synpahizing with the object of
the Convention be invited 10 withdraw
from their present ecclesiastical relations,
and that nothing can be made basis for
discipline in the Presbyterian curch which
is not specifically referred to in the con-
s,itulion as a crime or heresy.

Qualifications for Office.

The Hon r. B. Warden, who was sp.
pointed Judge of The Supreme Cour! by
Governor Medill, is now travelling the
State and advocating the Republican
cause.
The editor of the Union in noticing
this fnct, charges Judge Warden with in
gratitude, more especially because he is a
Roman Catholic. He says he is doing
the best he can to secure the success o! a
party four.fifths Of the members of wi ich
have sworn on the Holy Evangelist never
to vote for him for any public station.
Now suppose this all TO be true as this
Seracious Editor asserts, what does it
prove ! Only this, thatJudge Warden is
nut actuated by the hope Of Office, in de-
nonncing the doctrines Of the sham Dem

MIGRATION FROM IRELAND.-The Brit
ish Parliament has recently published a
series of tables showing The extent Of
Irish emibration up to Jan. l, 1857, and
its bearing on the population-the name,
age and county of every person leaving
Ireland and being know from the year
1851. Here are the results:
"The tables compiled from these doc.
uments for the period from the first oil
May 1851, to the 3lst of December,
1855, TO the general report of the census
commissioners, by which it appears that
the population, amounting to 6,552,3s5
persons on the 30th of March. 1851. was
reduced by emigration to 6,O77, ,2s3 on
the lst of January, eighteen hundred and
ffly-six, allowance being made for the
usual increase caused by the excess Of
births over deaths calculated on the aver.
age OF events in Eng land and Wales du-
ring fifteen years. In the ending The 3lsl
of December, 1856, the returns show
that 90,7sl persons, of whom Al $40
were male, and 43,2ll female, emigrated
from the ports Of Ireland. This amount,
after deducting the estimated excess ol
births over deaths, make the probable
number of inhabitants in Ireland on the
first of January, 1855, 10 have been G,

Startling DsUelOpsment--.4rreSt of q
Prominent Citizen for Dreadful
Crime.
One Of our hitherto esteemed and in
Auential citizens was this day arrested
upon a charge of dreadful-a diabolicaI
crime; and from what we gather from
official and authentic sources, we believe
the testimony is very strong, if not con-
elusive as to the guilt of the accused.
The person to whom we allude, is John
B. Robertson, cashier of the Eagle Bank
He was arrested by Chief Police Oviatt'
on a warrant ISSUED by Police Justice
Bardwell, on the application of District
Attorney Huson. The warrant charges
Mr.. Robertson with attempting to produce
the death fhs wife by administering GER
tain medicines, drugs, or compounds, pro-
cured by him for that purpose.
Some few days since, Mr.. Robertson
applied 10 DR.. Joseph Biegler, his family
physician to administer to Mrs. Robert
son, some medic inc which woule tend to
hasten her death by increasing the liabil
ity to certain diseases with which she was
afflicted. We understand that The dis
eases to which she was deemed liable
and strongly predisposcd, are apoplexy
and disease of the heart. Hence, medi-
cines which would increase the circula.
tion, it is supposed, would produce one
or other of those diseases.
DR., Biegler was surprised that such
proposition had been made to him, and al
once consulted certain citizens whom he
regarded as friendly to him, and they
went 10 the District Attorney. Under
the direction OF that officer steps were ta'
ken to confirm the statement Of DR.. B..
and the District Attorney states that they
were fully confirmed in every particular
Dr. B. gave Mr.. Robertson certain com
pounds, from time to time, which he,
Robertson, supposed well designed tc
produce the effect, and it is believed thai
these compounds were ADMINISTERED.
The arrest was made while Mr.. r
was at his place behind The counter of the
Eagle bank, and must have overwhelmed
him, whether guilty or innocent. Mr..
Robertson is a gentleman who has stood
high in this city, where he has resided &
dozen years or more. He was for some
years Receiver for the Central Railroat
Company at the Rochester Station sub.
sequently he was engaged at the Roches
ter Savings Bank, and for the last two
years has been Cashier oflhe Eagle Bank
He is a gentleman of wealth, we believe
and up to this time his character has
been fair.
Mrs. Robertson is lady of excellent
standing, and esteemed highly, we believe
by her acquaintance. .-ROcheSter Union

learn that it is bis intention to have them
not only in every paper in America, but
also in all the principal papers Of Europe
and Asia. There are many hundreds Of
papers published in this country alone,
and it will of course take the Doctor
some time to find them all out; but many
of the proprietors who have learned his
intentions, are assisting him By sending
singl number Of their different journals
10 his office at St, Louis, where all COM
munications are directed TO be addressed.
We knew DR.. Bragg years ago, when his
Eame did not extend beyond the limits OF
his own immediate neighborhood. and
before he commenced his system of ad-
vertiseing, by which his name has now
become famous wherever The English Ian
guage is spoken, and we then lamented
that the whole world did not have the ben
eff t of his Incompatible skill. Since then
The Doctor has nobly acquitted himself of
mis- duty to humanity, in making himself
and his remedies known to all mankind,
and placing the latter in the reach Of every
person. The "Arctic Liniment," which
is his latest invention, we believe is des'
tined to supercede all other articles Of the
kind because it is the hest Of its kind,
and will be placed within everybody's
reach, and be brought to everybody's no.
tice by The universal press. The Doctor
never does anything by halves; and
when he adverlises. he goes the whole
ticket. In this is the great element of
success on a grand scale. He argues
that if it is TO his advantage to advertise
in one paper, it is twice the advantage to
advertise in two; hundred times the
advantage 10 advertise in a hundred a
thousand times the advantage 10 advertise
in a thousand, and so on, ad infnitum.
OF course, no amount of ADVERTISING
could long foist worthless article upon
the public, as many empyrics have found
10 their sorrow. Extensive advertising
is only successful when the article adver-
tised possesses intrinsic value, and sup
plies a want, as is eminently the case
with all of Dr. Bragg's medicines. esPe,
cially the "Arctic Liniment," which, if it
possesses but half the virtues ascribed
to it, will prove boon to humanity

Mr.. EDITOR The Democracy hav-
ing nominated James M'Kinney, Esq, in
opposition to Mr.. M'Cleary the Republi.
can candidate for the Office of Senate =
they are busily engaged in load whisIling'
for the purpose of keeping up their cour'
age. The ''Union" very gravely informs
its democratic friends in COlumblana
county, that Mr.. Mckinney will have
majority of 500 in Jefferson County and
can raise hundred or two more, if ne
cessary. This is about the most absurd
piece of gasconade that l have read for
some time and no man, who did not
feel the cause in which he was engaged,
TO be desperate one, would venture to
make such incredible assertions. We sup
pose that the object was to create pan
ic in the ranks Of the opposition in Col
umbiana county and by that means re.
duce Mr.. M'Cleary's majority there
But we presume they have heard "the
hooting of owls" before, and know just
how to regard them. That Mr.. M'Clea.
ry will have handsome majority, can.
not be for a moment doubted by those
who know anything about the state Of
the political parties in Jefferson county.
He is gentleman, competent in every re-
spect to fill the office, with honor to him
self and TO his constituents, and ouI
friends in Columbiana county may resi-
assured, that Jefferson county will stand
firm and true to the whole ticket, from
the Governor, down and that it is all

that far on the other leg" We have on
ly 10 come to the polls and vote, to sweep

hinder single man who is opposed tc
tile principles Of the SO called Democrat
ic party, from coming to the polls on the
day of election. but go yourself and see
that every man in your township is there
and by that means you will have the
qualification of routing your opponents
and of placing men in office whose prin
ciples are in opposition 10 those of the
