Under this heading, the Ne,cs Letter, for
January, says that stthere are these in the
world who can never be persuaded to adver-
tise their business, even to the smallest
amount-such men seldom get rich. One
OF the great secrets Of success with the mill
ionsires of the East, was the liberality with
which they were accustomed to place them.
selves and their business before those to
whom they looked for support. In mercan-
tile Affairs this Same course cannot fail to
work wonders. True, the man who amass-
e. wealth BY the sudden rise Of real estate
might not have become the richer BY any
system Of advertising. His wealth comes
without amy effort on his part, and indeed
he can hardly be poor IL hswoutd. But how

Pursuant to notice, the Republicans of
Omaha, met in Mass Meeting, on Monday
last, to take into consideration the proprie.
ty Of organizing the Republican party of
Nebraska Territory. At the appointed hour,
the large Hall was filed with goodly num-
Der Of Republicans, and quite an array of
"outsiders." The meeting was called to Or
der by Gen. WV. LARIxER, who, in short
speech, clearly and succintly set forth the
objects Of the meeting. He was followed
by DR.. MoSKLL and others, after which a
committee was appointed on Resolutions,
and another on permanent officers, when
the meeting adjourned till 2 o'clock, P. NJ.
In the afternoon, Gen. LARIxER took the
stand, and addressed she audience upon the
politics of the day. lie spoke principally
in relation to affairs in Kansas, passing in
review the Kansas Nebraska act, and the
present position Of Senator DouoLAs. He
was listened to with marked attention
throughout. At the close Of his remarks,
WV. Youxe BRowS, a. Chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions, took the stand,
and spoke at length in explanation of the re-
solutions he was about to submit. lie spoke
in terms of just condemnation in relation to
the bred Scott decision, and the working Of
the Nebraska- Kansas act, showed the cupid
ity Of the Democratic party, and pointedly
urged the necessity of thorough organiza-
ton Of the Republican party, as matter Of
self-defence. Ills remarks, on the whole,
were eminensly appropriate, emphatisally
conclusive, and met with hearty recep.
ton at the hands Of the Republicans pres
snt. The Resolutions were then submitted,
and unanimously adopted. The meeting
then closed with three hearty cheers for the
Republican Party Of Nebraska Territory.
We never attended political meeting
where greater harmony and unity prevailed,
thas at the one held in Omaha, on Monday
last. This, Ne believe, was the frat meet
ing Of the kind ever held in the Territory,
and, The character Of its proceedings, argues
] well for the future Of the Republican cause
in that Territory. We had hoped 70 lay
before our readers, the full proceedings Of
tho meeting, but the report of the Seereta-
y has not yet come to hand. We cannot
close this article without congratulating the
Republicans Of the Territory upon the re-
salt Of The initiatory steps for the organisa-
fion Of the part1. and would hare Amman
