It was, we believe, the rszOr-strOp man who
fret hit upon the expedient of holding public meet
ipes in ths metropolis, larger or smaller according
to his good fortune to advertise his merchandise
The fate of that great inventor We do not know.
We trust he was fortunate in business, ana has
retired upon competence to some suburban villa
The c0mminell of the moral and the mercantile,
of strjps, sentiment, and easy shaving was perhaps
little TOO apparent in his case, to be in perfectly
aood taste; but We should consider that he could
rot afford to keep porter upon the outskirts oil
the crowd to whisper with a knowing wink,
"RazOr strOps, you know" preserving thus the
moral harmoDies of the occasion without sacrifice
Of the advertising publicity. 1t was lett for bis
more distinguished successors to cOntr7e that more
happy combiIa alton.
We have before us circular, sent few months
ego, by Messrs. Henrys, Smith ~ Townsend of
this city to their Southern customers. 1t was
Issued for the Spring trade, but il equally good
for that Of the Autumn, for, as the public
learned by a meeting last evening at the
Cooper Institute the lively concern of H.. S. " I.
has " a few more let of the same sort" which
they offer for cash or approved notes-chisfy
notes-to Southern merchants. If last Win
ter. the institution of H., S. g. T. feared
that ain consequence Of the recent polit
:" ical excitement" approximations existed at the
South that Ne@-YOrk jObbers would fail to
make "ther usual preparation" TO meet the
wants Of Southern customers, lest Southern cu'-
toners should have determined to do without their
usual supply of dry goods, how much more neces-
.ary s LOW that they shoudbe informed thatthose
apprehensOns are unfounded. Indeed, circulars,
it is ar, are moi now equal to tie exigency of
the crisis, and nothing less than mass meetings
will ansW er TO assure the anxious Southern public
that our Mr.. Townsend" or somebody else OF
ours, has returned from Europe with " samples OF
L" the latest productions Of TIE French and British
/" manufacturers of Ladies Dress Goods, and also
/" new designs in Embroideries, Laces, &C., which
:" he has had prepared expressly for our sales;"
that eve are now opening stock of DRESS
" GOODS, which for extent beauty, novelty, and
" variety aoW be unsurpassed that "in add.
" ton to styles heretofore enume rated the latest
" novelties are in Muslins and Cbiatz, Organizes,
Robes, and "a large assortment of Double
skirts aud Bordered Prints" in most
bewderng ard delicious variety, with
names rayishipg but mysterious to all
Of the masculine gender not connected with H., S.
81 T., beside largely increased stock of Hosiery
"White Goods, Linens, Fabrics for Mems Wear
20 Domestic Goods, Negro Goods, Blankets, &C.,"
sll offered with such inducements to purchase, on
suchterms, and al such prices, as must needs con-
maDd that consideration and cooperation which,
" as members of one common confederacy, wetbink
eve may reasonably expect" If with such an
attractive catalogue before them Southern ladies
can forego even from the most patriotic motives,
their robes Of Peri and Souvenir, of Clothilde and
Jesssmne, of MDna, Odipa, Flora, Isabeau, to
say nothing of Fabia and Imperative, of Single
Skirts, of Double Jupes and Small Flounces, and
tteincreased stock of Hosiery, they not made of
ordinary human flesh and blood.
With such q stock of goods on hand, Messrs.
Henryp Smith & Townsend have the best of
reasons for announcing that they "woull regret
" exceedingly if any circumstances cOnspired to
prevent our Southern friends from visiting us this
" season." 1t is worth while to assure them with
the utmost confidence, as "Our Mr.. Townsend has
" returned from Europe" with all these splendid
samples of French and British manufactures, that
:" the great mass of our people are loyal to the
" Union, true to the compromises of the Constitu-
4" ton, and decidedly opposed TO the hereses of
" Abolitonism and fanaticsm in all its FORMS"
When Jupes, Jaconets, Jessamines, Negro Goods,
Goods Staple and Goods Fancy are in question,
it is natural to give the strongest assurance
that among the friends Of the South" are "our
able,t dVines, truly Conservative body of
UDion-lOving men, in powerful opposition TO the
very few but noisy fanatics who have brought
disgrace upon their palpits by preaching politics
" instead of the Gospel" No wonder, when the |
highest interests Of both Goods and Gospel are |
jeoparded, with the stock Of both on hand so large,
that H., S. d T. should deprecate any Interrupt
" ton of the business or social relations of the
/" two iectOns," or that they should fail to "see
" what is to be gained by =" Its possible, even,
that the touching and pathetic was called |
ior--that as Southern jobbers must buy
