SINGULAR LINE OF DEyENcE DEFEATED.
The case Of Old Bigelow, the Nestor
of Counterfeiters, was concluded yester.
day in the United States District Court,
BY verdict of guilty. The old man
had fame of his own, and no very fra
grant one, earned by forty years cheq-
uered connection with bogus coin ma
king. With enough of the "Simon
Suggs" order Of talent to give him and
his doings peculiar flavor and stamp
that was purely their own, he has mind
enough to have fitted him for more than
mediocrity in any useful calling. Bleach.
ed ~ his features are by i'll health and
confinement, the old man wears = cast
of features that would not do dscredit
to a New England deacon of the old
school, but there is still lurking devil
in his eye, that shows he is good for
something yet in bis chosen vocation of
law breaker and coiu-makcr, il the penal
ty due the laws leaves him scope enough
this side the grave. Such general in
terest has attached to the man and his
tate throng bout a wide section OF cour-
try, that it may interest our readers if
we present here, in bidding the old f.l-
low adisu from his Jail residence in our
CITY, some facts concerning his career,
before presented in our columns.

to which end Clark and Smith were to
be pat upon the stand to swear him
clear by their testimony that he had
leased tho blacksmith shop to them.
They were also to come down hard
on the private detectives, made use Of
by the officers, and swear them into the
-scrape a. deeply as possible. Further
than this, it had been attempted to en-
tice away officers Rhem, Frank and
Smith, by fat job in New Orleans, for
q month or two when the trial should
come on, which MIR. FeIker said should
be done 'if it cost q 81 ,OOO." Old Big.
Glow once off by these means was to
find the necessary bail for Clark aud
Smith. and they run away and he in dc.
fault his bonds aud thus everything was
to be merry, jolly and comfortable. But
the best laid schemes Of lawyers Is we'll
as those of other men, "gang aft aglee."
The whole matter stands revealed in
the moot ngular series Of correspond
ence we ever met nth. Thanks to
kind Christian friends in this city, our
jail prs ners have no lack of good
reading" and on the margins OF these
Bible Iesvet, tracts and religious news
papers old Bigelow wrote to CLARK and
Smith, and they to him, and all are now
in the counsel's hands.
1t brings tho matter out so clearly that
proceeding will be commenced again At
Attorney Felker for subornation Of per-
jury.
This ends for the present the case Of
Old Bigelow, but brief appendix IL due
to that angular and incomprshensible
official.

The indianapolis Sentinel Of yesterday says
Of the DouoLAs and Johnson Ratification
Meeting in that city on Wednesday The at
tendance upon tho Convection Of the Democ.
racy Of Indiana, called 10 rutify the nomina-
tons of DoUoiAs and Johnson was general,
large and enthusiastic The time fixed was
too early in the season for a general ontpour-
ing Of the masses, as the farmers all over the
State are busily engaged in harvesting or in
the work necessarily Attendant ihereupon.
But as a gathering Of the representative men
Of the party from all parts Of the State aud
from nearly every county II was a decided
success. In this respect il was peculiarly
gratifying. II gave opportunity for an inter
change OF expression as 10 the sentiment Of
the people in all the localities Of the State,
which was both valuable and encouraging
This was the main object Of the gathering,
and That object was satisfactorily accom-
plished, If any doubt had previously existed
in the minds Of any one as to the will Of the
Democracy of Indiana in the present crisis Of
the party and the duty imposed upon every
Democrat, there can be none nov. From
every part Of the State came the expression
that it is the duty Of the party to stand firmly
by its organization, uphold its acknowledged
principles and support its nominees, State
and National And for the latter the voice
came up hat DOUGLAS and JOHNSON are re-
cognized with almost entire u~nauimity as Che
fairly and regularly nominated candidates Of
the National Democracy.
The speeches of Messrs. PUGH and VALLAN.
DIGnAM were not only able and eloquent, but
were peculiarly adapted to the occasion. In
a mastery manner the former demonstrated
the regularity, fairness and justice ofthe nom
nation of Mr.. DOUGLAS by the Baltimore Con-
%vention according to the usages of the party,
and most triumphantly he indicated the po-
litieal consistency Of the Illinois Senator. And
equally forcible was the speech of Mr.. VAL
LANDIGHAN upon the same issues. If argu-
ments and facts were necessary to vindicate
the position of Mr.. DoUGLAs, as the represen-
tatiye man of the Democracy, and the sound
ness OF the doctrines upon which he is pre-
sented to the country as the Democratic can
didate for the Presidency, they were furnished
most triumphantly and conclusively by the
distinguished 0hioans.
The intelligence furnished by the delegates
from the various parts of the State was of the
most gratifying character. The Democracy
everywhere are buckling on their armor for
the coming canvass. Excepting in a very
few localities, and that in a limited degree, the
party will enter upon the canvass, not only
united, but with zeal and a liked purpose to
triumph-to maintain the ascendancy ofDem-
ocratic policy in Indiana.
The Sentinel says that A. V. HoFER, Esq,
mot of Cincinnati, Mr.. Sentinel, but of this
city addressed the Germans in the evening
at Metropolitan Hall.

The Cincinnati Union Meeting
POstDOned,

From the Cincinnati papers of this morn
ing we learn that the BELL and EVERETT rat
fcation meeting to have been held last ever
ing was postponed on account of the inclem-
ent weather. The Enquirer says:
0ur citizens are well advised that It was in
contemplation by the friends and followers of
Bell and Everett, in this city, to hold a grand
r ltiiication meeting last evening at Fihh-street
Market-space. Men of character and posi-
ton had taken the matter in charge, and the
prospects were fair hat a large, if not a lar
ger meeting than any held this season, would
congregate at the place designated. The
heavy storm which came up at dusk, last even
ing, served, however, to dispel the hopes of
those who contemplated making a grand DEM
onstration, and it was deemed advisable, by
the Committee of Arrangements, to adjourn
the meeting until this evening. Hon. Lewis
d. Campbell, of Hamilton, in a few pertinent
remarks, notified those who had assembled de-
spite of the rain of this determination. This
evening the demonstration will come off rain
or shine. General Leslie Coombs, of Ken
lucky, Governor Trimble, Hon. Lewis d.
Campbell, and other speakers will address the
meeting.
As we write this article n large torch-light
procession is passing the Office, with transpa-
%renoies, banners and music. A large four
horse wagon leads the van, in which is an
enormous chime of bells.

small Rusimeas.

A friend sends us a copy Of the last Eaton
Register, which contains a scurrilous slur in
regard to the Representative in Congress from
this District Hon. c. L. V~ALLASDIGHAM. 1t is
such a notice Of a political opponent, which no
true gentleman would publish, much less write.
We shall enter into no controversy with a man
who thus degrades the position which he holds
as the conductor of a public journal; but to
his party friends, especially those who expect
to become candidates for the suffrages Of the
people this fall, we put the question whether
they are DESTROYS of having the campaign car
ried on in the manner indicated by the notice
referred to in the Register So far as we are
concerned, we prefer to war upon the po-
litical doctrines of the opposing candidates,
denounce the platform upon which they stand
we shall endeavor to hold sacred the private
character of our political opponents, and say
nothing which can tend to degrade either them
or their families in the estimation of their fell
low citizens. This, we say, is the course we
prefer yet, if those who oppose us-if the
Republican papers of this county and District
are determined to choose a different course
if they will make the war solely, exclusive
ly upon the pirate character of Demo
erats-if they choose to publish what they
know to be false, and to insinuate what they
dare not charge against our friends-it would
be but reasonable to suppose that Democrats
should retaliatc in the same manner, and give
blow for blow, stab for stab, abuse for abuse.
This is our position, and it remains for the
candidates and press of the Republican party
to select in which of the two ways suggested
the campaign shall be fought
We thank our friend at Eaton for sending
us the paper, as well as for his letter. and
trust that he will find many spare moments
during the campaign, at least, to furnish us
such items of general as well as of a political
nature, as may prove of interest to the read
ers ofthe EXPIRE,

Advertising is the life-blood Of business. II
Is 20 obviously enough, because IL makes a
man and his business known The FIRST step
a man who has opened a store ~ofeoods, a shop
or an Office, should take, is TO advertise that
is, to make himself and his business known.
The best investment a man eau make is from
ten TO a thousand dollars, according to circum-
stances, in advertising. As the object Of ad-
veriising 10 reach the public, advertise large
ly in newspapers which circulate largely
among all classes Of people.
Bot advertising scientifically is not the bare
insertion of a single notice for a day, a week,
or a month but il is keeping a mans name
and business continually before the public
and in a varsity Of ways, making a new i'm
preston before the former is eradicated In
illustration Of this, advertising has been com
pared to a stone which will withstand n single
heavy blow, when a number of light blows fol
lowing in quick succession, would SILVER it to
atoms.
Improvements and reforms take place in
advertising as in every other department Of
human activity. The old mode of long stand.
ing advertisements is gradually being aban-
doued for numerous, short, pithy and often
renewed notices, which, like grape-shot, do
immediate and efficient execution.
For a small sum per annum, a man can have
q short notice among our "New Advertise
ments' each day, varying il in any way he
chooses; so that he attains the great object to
keep the people constantly posted in his bust
meas and whereabouts, by presenting contin-
ually fresh and attractive notices.
Some may excuse themselves from adopting
the most effective mode Of advertising, be-
canse their business, as they think, will not
justify the trouble. But they are mistaken.
There need, however, be but little trouble
about it, for it is not necessary to send in an
advertisement every time a new one is inser-
ted. A dozen notices, more or less, can be
readily written at once, and when these have
all been published, begin at the beginning and
publish them over again. Each advertise
ment is then new" ON the day of its issue,
and the dozen, even if they embody the same
idea, make a much greater impression on the
readers than if the same advertisement were
published two dozen times.
There is no manufacturer, dealer or pro
f~essional man, who would not derive a bene-
fit from investing ten, twenty, fifty or a nun
bred dollars in a notice inserted daily among
our new advertisements.
We have given the foregoingIhints to those
who may advertise with us, because if they
choose to expend ten or a thousand dollars in
advertising, we would have them expend it in
the manner that will yield the best return.
Our interest is one with theirs. If men make
money by following our advice, they will CON
tinue to advertise with u.s. if mot we shall lose
a customer it is, therefore, clearly our inter.
est not to mislead our readers on this impor-
tant question-How to make the most of ad-
vertising.
