La GRANGE. Go, Dec. 6, 1856.
DEAR SIR. Your letter OF the 29th
OF ofNoyembsr was handed to me few
moments since by the Hon, ihos. W u.
Thomas.
You say that my letter Of the oath
ult "has in it much, both in tone AMI
matter, offensive in itself" &c, and
without specifying anything which
yon designate as offensive, You pro
ceed to ask Of me that satisfaction
whice is usual between gentlemen in
such cases.
1t might.be some satisfaction for you
to shoot at me, though | should enter.
tain no great fear Of being hit, but can
dor requires rae to say, with my pres
ent feelings | could not deliberately
shoot at you, and for many reasons
a few only Of which | will now give:
First might possibly kill you,
and though yon may not consider your
life valuable, yet to take it would be a
great annoyance to me afterward, The
ceaselsss accusation of my conscience
that / was a murderer would be the
bane Of my future happiness
Second | am not conscious OF hay.
ing given you any just ground OF Of,
Tense. In my letter Of oath, ! author,
lied you to construe my emarks by
the meaning Of your now charge, to
which the remarks were intended as a
reply 1.-THE reply, then, was often
sive, it only proves that You so intend
ed your charge, aed in that view yor
are entitled to nosesIthiaction, and
am satisfied with reply. Further
than this ! Observation-Disclosures any
personal allusion or unkindness, anC
notwithstanding yonr "belligerant
message" feel none now.
Third; Ii the invitation to mortal
combat is intended as mere formal
occasion to exchange Il few harmless
shots and then have an adjustment,
can only say | never engage in farces
nor make ieigned issues. FL could
bS lhdiS IIitSSlSuE liltt j Iidi ICttC
you injustice, ! should deem it a duty
to repair it, and should not wait first
to be shot at. lfyou did me injustice
met the occasion with the remedy,
aud it does seem, made shot which
produced wider, if not deeper, sore
than any within the power Of powder
and ball to propuce
Now, sir las | always speak plainly J
Twill only add that know nothin 1
which has occurred between You and
hue which could authorize or Justify n
duel; and while ! have never at any
time had an insult offered me, nor an
aggressian attempted, | shall vel
know how to meet and repel any thai
may be offered by any gentleman whc
may presume upon this refusal OF
otherwise. Yours, respectfully, &c,
B. FL. HILL.

Political and Personal.

Indications row are that y. i. Banks is
bound to t" slide INFO the Subcrnrtorial char
in the old Bay State. Every day the adhcr-
en:s of Gardner are becoming more friyhtcn-
ed; and their reliance upon democratic votes
will hardly elect him Governor of Masslchu-
sets. The more sensible portion of the pco-
pie are disguised with the way Gardner has
managed the affairs of the State for the last
three ycars-displacing her best men and fill
ing their places with men too small to fill Of
iicc,-running the State in debt, and acting
the part of demaSoguc on every occasion.
His opponent, y. =. Banks, is too we'll known
to need mention of his merits from us. r

workshop to high national position-ncvcr

votes of all true patriots.
The Albany Journal says it is significant
fact, that in the elections held this fall. the
republicans make large gains in the cities

Stanly (rep.) gains 1,5l6 over Frcmont's vote
last fall. In Philadelphia Wilmot rep makes
gain Of over 1000. In Cincinnati Chase
(rep.) gains nearly 1000. All these gains
are made in the face of the most adverse
circumstances. But in the republican strong

The inaugural address of Gov. Perry of
Florida is devoted to Kansas, railroads and

Advertising in Hard Times


suppose 4 merchant with his store .n,I of
goods. ilnd> that he has got 10 sul,ni, -
some sacrifice in order to meet his d,n,.,5.
what s the lest thing he can do Thn
hypothesis is probable enough in the>e ,;mas
Duf the answers to the practical question will
be various. They ought to be. because ,ba
method which VII! afford relief to one. !, mot
advisable, or i! so. not available. to ano,bnr
but still. as general answer. what :, br,rer
tnan TINS; CIT down Your prices. advertise
vigorously. and sell off your goods?
In the first place. # Il sacrifice is unavo;,,s-
bic and the result he the same pec,,n;,,-l,-
to the dealer. il is far better that the con.
mnnl'y IL general should reap the benefit Of
1t, than that it should inure wholly TO one or
TWO brokers. Instead of an cnormou, ner
cehtagc. in pursuance of doubtful system
beng TINS thrown into the Golfers Of ftw
individuals. the chcapcned necc>>arie> of life
would be spread among thousands Of house
holds. dliiu>ing comfort everywhere. Tins
the burdens which rest upon the mercantile
class. instead Of beng made tributary to the
avarlce of the moneycd class. would be turned
to the solid benefit Of all the other classes
Again such Z course would keep trade
agolnS. Tight as money is. not a cent has
been: annihilate.!-;t exists all abou, Us some
where. At this season cf the wear. too. a
great deal of ii must he exchanged for the
numherless articles of food and rai,ncnt re-
qnired al the coming on Of winter II prices
hold up. this exchange will be as scanty and
put of as long is possible. But let reduced
prices be advertised. let it be understood that
goods must lie sold at all events. and thr
stores will be crowded under Il panic of the
right kinda dollar will be spent here and
five or ten there. resulting in hundreds OF
thousands to the entcrpri>in- dealers. Thus
may boarded specie be drawn from its hiding
places. Thus the healthy circulation O:
money will DE kept up. and the basis main
tanned for ali easy renewal Of prosperous
times. Everything VIII grow better By Dc
grees. while of him who rccklc>>ly sticks TO
old prices and wholly relies on borrowing. it
NAV be said. 1.-THE last end of that man is
worse than the first.
Of course. 10 MANY individuals this method
is not feasible, They cannot wait. or their
stocks would be insufficient 10 realize their
needs. or other good and indi>putablc reasons
might be cited. But where j, Is possible. We
believe it TO be advisable on every ground Of
personal or public cxpcdicncy Ifadvcrt;>ing
is indispensable when customers are rushing
to buy o: their own accord. and ONLY want 10
know wk,rc to 20. it Is doubly necessary in
these times when the fac; of cleo1uess is felt
to he the all-important fact We observe
that the New York merchant>-c~pcciallv
