A Word TO BUSINESS MEN.-Now, when
many business changes have just taken place.
or are about to take place, 1t is important that
merchantp, dealers and mechanics, and Ill hav.
ing anything TO sell, or any patronage to solicit
should let the public know where they are and
how they are prepared to accommodate their
customers. Those who have moved or made
other changes in their business, should, Of
course, make those changes known, while
those who have not should let their old Gus
toners know that the changes Of April have
brought no changes with them, and that their
customers can still find them at the old stand
That advertising always pays the advertiser is
a truth so we'll established that no business man
OF common sagacity will pretend seriously for
moment to doubt il. s'ats .5..

The Cincinnati DarkIes ON the Dis.
trIct Abolition Act.

The Cincincs;i Commercial states that on
Sunday afternoon, April 90, Lhe "colored peo,
pie" assembled at the Baker street Church, to
express their sentiments in regard to the ac'
lately passed by Congress abollshing slavery in
the District of Columbia. The following reso'
lutions we're adopted:
ResOlusd, That we, ss loyal American citi
zens, hail with joy the passage Of the act abol-
lshing slavery in the District of Columbia, re-
garding it al q return TO the original principles
and practice OF the founders of the Govern
meut, which have uniformly been that freedom
is national, AID that slavery being sectional, ID
merely recognized, and neither sanctioned nor
approved BY the General Government.
ResoISed, Thstwe rejoice in the emancipation
act as victory Of peace, and az a means of re.
construction which does not require "sbe baptiSn
Of blood"
ResOlped, That to Messrs. Morrill,, Sumner,
Wilson, and others, of the Senate, to Messrs.
Bingham, Stevens, 0dell, Haight, Brown, Eng
leh, and others, of the House, and TO Abraham
Lincoln, of the people, the thanks of all lovers
of freedom are due for their noble action in
this matter.
Resolved, That We recommend the adoption
OF tho day on which this act takes effect as an
anniversary day Of the colcred people Of the
United States.
Resolued, That we recommend that thanks tc
God for the blessing be offered in our ehurche'
throughout the land, and pray that He may
hasten the glorious time which shali proclaim
liberty throughout the land unto oil the inhab
itants thereof.
The first Of these resolutions will be readily
recognized as stereOtyped article in the creed
OF the old AboiitiOnists, the late Republicans
and the present Fusouists. lts author is gen.
orally believed to be Secretary CHASE. As to
the Abolition act being "a victory Of peace y
it lie the fruit of division and war; and instead
Of being a means Of reconstruction, it has a
direct tendency to widen the breach already
made, and rsdden all our land with more ter
ribls "baptism Of blood" s

so far have contented themselves With defend

the attacks upon him, They may inquire whett-

terms the action Of apy government, aud eepe-
cially of this government, which should take

If opportunity was offered, prove themselves
absolutely guiltless Of the crime charged upon

rights OF the people dangerous TO our liberties
and dan serous TO our institutions, and when
people were found willing to submit to 1t, 1t was
more dangerous yet.
"Nor did he believe in the muzsling Of the

A NEw IssUE.-The township election in
Granville, this spring, turned on somewhat
novel issue There we're two tickets in the field
for all the offices except Assessor and Constabee.
The issue was, whether the use of the town hall
sbould be permitted to dancing partiee! Last
summer, on the return of the three months'
volunteers from Western Va, the young folks
at Granville proposed to give the soldier. boys q
dance in the town hall. This proposition called
forth an angry dispute, and the opposition which
was made TO the use Of the hall, was kept steadi-
ly in recollection. So this sprlpg, set Of Trus-
tees who will not object to the occupancy OF the
hall by properly conducted dancing parties, was
elected by forty majority. y.-Ne,cGTk Advocate.
