Township Meetings.

way to have tic thing done up right is
to attend the primary meetings, send

In view Of the past, it is the duty oil

On last Monday the engineers CON-

ADvETrsING.--All thinking persons, who
have any knowledge of the subject, must
agree with US that this is. Of all times, the
very time for advertising. The amount of
business done, may not be large, but what
is done at all is chiefly done by those who
advertise; aud, of those whs advertise,
they do most, who advertise most The
newspaper is a life preserver by which ju-
dicious men of business keep their heads
above wafer, while their less prudent fel-
lows 60 u.der.
The Boston Traveller Justly remarks
that the duty of advertising is recognized
by all sensible traders. who know that there
are men who have mouev to spend even in
these days. who will spend it if they can
get good bargains. To get such bargains
they must make themselves acquainted
with what is going on. and thst they can
do only through the papers. IL they find
one house advertising. while other houses
do not advertise, their costom is attracted
to that house. Hence advertising is du-
tv if business men are for success. The
retail trade is not dead bv any means, and
indeed, cannot except with society itself
The men who do the best at il are those
who best understand the nature and use Of
communicating directly with the public
through the piess. We say nothing against
other modes of making such communica-
tiops. but the press is the true mode after
all. Business men should avail themselves
Of the efficient influence of an advertise
ment in good newspaper. fever sdver-

AMERICAN RAILROAD CONTRACTORS IN BRAzrr.-
II will be seen by an extract from the G~rcio
Nroaatl, which we publish In another CO.
lumn, that American enterprise has undertaken
another work In South America, which may
lead to important resulta The Braziian
are just entering upon the construction Of rail-
roads; and, being unschooled In the mocha
nical requirements, necessary for the eco
nomical construction of internal improve
ments, applied to their ministers abroad
for the purpose of stimulating competition
In proposing for contracts Propositions for
the construction Of the second section of the
Dom Pedro H. were made In April last by Ame-
rican, English and French contractors and II
will be seen that the work has been given out
to those from the United States The Cdrrao
accompanies this announcement with flatter-
ing notice of the American contractors, and the
expression Of just hopes in regard to the future
Of American enterprise In Brazil.
There is one advantage possessed by American
contractors over those from Europe, on public
works, In the thinly populated countries of the
New World, that Is not generally known. The
workmen Of Europe, accustomed TO the facilities
afforded by an abundance ofcapital and crowded
populations, are used to overcome obstacles
that may present themselves by greater expen-
ditures Of money and labor, In order to make q
permanent and heavy work. The American,
on the contrary, apprenticed In the building of
roads, bridges, &c, in a country where capital
Is scarce and labor dear, is accustomed 10 over
come the obstacles to construction by ex-
pedients, and that fertility of invention that
flows from necessity. The scaniy purposes OF
he day are attained, and the greater expend-
ture for pcrmsnence is left TO the future, when
fuller population both require and have the
ability to make 1t. IL Is this great difference In
the system of the American and European con-
structors of public works that Is giving the
former the preference in oil the countries south
Of us.
In The narrative Of the recent proceedings In
Rio Janeiro we notice another fact that IL not
without Importance. Our Minister, Mr. Meade,
instead Of busying himself with presenting dry
arguments to Dom Pedro H. on the musty
questions of State, has taken personal interest
10 the material prosperity of Brazil which can
not but have a good effect there. The cnraa
