The Benefits of Advertising-Ths New
York Ledger.

1t dees us good to occasionally recor,
the signal benefits arising to single indi
viduals, or firms, from a liberal system
of advertising. In this go-ahead age
when every honorable facility is made US,
of by active business men to enlarge thei
business, the medium of the Press is fount
most valuable auxiliary. The article
copied below, from the New York Trib
une, regarding the enterprising conductO
of the New York Ledger, abundantly
substantiates this fact. His Justly popu
lar paper has now taken front ranl
among the best literary publications o
the day -
"EFFECTs OF ADvERTIsISG.-The New
York Ledger is weekly papers of but few
years experience, but its publisher hal
expended about Quarter of Million o.
Doll<rs in advertising in the columns o.
this and other journals-S100,0 900 of il
within the last year. The results have
justified this magnificent outlay. The
Ledger now issues some 100000 copies
regularly keeping eight single-cylinder
power presses running on its weekly edi-
ton from Monday morning till Saturday
night. The white paper Of each issue,
dry, weighs $500 pounds. 1850 reams
weighing SO pounds each ); and each edi-
ton as it comes damp from the press must
weigh from twenty-five to thirty tons.
The publishers outlay in obtaining this
enormous circulation has of course been
great but he has made it all out of his
business, and something more. We do
not mean to claim all the credit of his
success for his advertising, for he employs
able and popular writers, and has much
improved the quality of his journal with
in the last year but without extensive
advertising the merits of his sheet would
have remained to this hour unknown to,
and of course unappreciated by, the great
mass. of those who are now his readers.
Business in our day has three cardinal
elements l. The article offered must
be we'll worth the money 2. 1t must be
adapted to the needs and the taste of the
million 8. 1t must be so advertised that
the million are made fully aware of its
existence and, 4. 1t must be sold for
cash down and nothing short. Based on
these foundations, business may succeed
in these dull, hard times.
Gas an indication of the enterprise Of
the proprietor of The Ledger, we would
further state that he has procured the in
sertion of the first part of story, and
also a page of ordinary advertising, in
this weeks Tribune, for which he pays rs
the sum Of Three Thousand DOlIars-
the largest amount, We believe, that he or
any other man ever paid for advertising
in single issue Of one paper"

DeBow's Southern Review thinks thai
the West cannot get on without negroes
The Review says "For household and
farming purposes, the Western planters
as general rule, are dependent upon raw
employees imported from abroad. Ar
uncouth miscellany Of Irish, Dutch and
Germans, comprise the hired workmsr
of the North. The majority of these are
Irish, the character of whom greatly IN.
fits them for the duties they are employed
to fulfil. They are as capricious as only
sons-lacking in principle. impatient to
choler and whisky, and. in the main,
unreliable for the purposes Of the house

ever feel that he was more truly great
than when commanding the religion of q
crucified Savior to those young and ad-
miring hearts. Another thing that deep
ly impressed me with The conviction that
he was true Christian was the subdusd
and kindly feeling he manifested to every
human being. In the course of long
summers day things both past and pres
ent were freely touched uron and in no
one instance did l discover even the shad-
ow Of bitterness or unkindness towards
those who had opposed him in his most
cherished plans. He seemed to have ris-
en- above all that rancor of party feeling.
which is almost inevitable with the purest
statesmen, while engaged in the daily
conflicts Of party contests. When be left
he promised to return and spend another
quiet day before he went to Washington,
expressing the great pleasure the visit had
afforded him. Circumstances prevented
my visiting him in his own home, and at
the time appointed for his second visit,
instead of the pleasure of seeing him, I
received kind and afectionate letter as
signing sickness as the cause of his failure,
which 1 preserve as grateful memento
of his personal friendship. His great eff
forts in the Senate the ensuing winter for
the preservation of the Union, and his
calm and peaceful death in the spring, are
part of the public history of the coun-
try.
Hoping that these pleasant reminiscent
ces may do some good to my countrymen,
and also believing that they will present
Mr.. Clay's character in a new and inter-
esting aspect to many who only knew
him as great orator and statesman, l
send them for publication.

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Tribune, writing on the 9th
says Hints are thrown out that the
President has in contemplation a grand
scheme of territorial and commercial ag-
grandizement which, when proposed, is
likely to occupy the public mind so as to
overshadow the slavery question. Gen.
trail America and the Isthmus are indiea-
ted as the field Of labor. The project,
whatever it is, has been long contempla-
ted, though nothing has hitherto been said
about it publicly. The States this eve
ming declares that whoever makes war on
William Walker makes war on the best
interests of the South and on the Perpetu-
ity Of the Union"

TnE ADMINISTRATIONS late dispatch
from Washington announces that james
Buchanan d Co., do not feel particularly
grati6ed over the results of the late cleo
tions. The position of the Administra-
ton is actually laughable. The Presi-
dent has been read out of all parties, been
impeached, tried and convicted, at the
bar of Public Opinion. repudiated South
and North, till his bed at the White
House resembles anything. we fancy,
rather than couch Of ease or roses. The
ghosts of those murdered by Richard III
rose in his dreams and bespoke for him q
fearful doom. The ghosts of Lecomp-
ton, of Calhoun, of candle-boxes, and
many victims of his power, haunt the
President by day and night: If "Old
Buck" were another Brutus he might ex-
pect Philippi. and the worst of all is
that the President is unmarriea-has no
one in whom he can repose that sacred
confidence which is said to be an antidote
to woe. IT'S true he might unbosom
himself to Cass, but the Premier could
hardly afford the President.that consola-
ton and sympathy Of which he is so sore
" in need. We doubt not that MIR. Bu-
chanan thinks the ingratitude of Repub-
lies is fitly illustrated in the cordial dam
nation that has been so lavishly showered
upon him. Well, well, it isn't in aceor-
dance with the rules Of courtesy to hit q
PROSTATE foe, and so to spare "Old
Bucks" feelings cs shall say no more.
But we really do advise him to think Of
entering the connubial state. especially
since we have noted the happy effect it
seems to have upon our AssOciAte.-LeGV-
