says that in comparison with the English ne
don't know anything about advertising, aud
that the tricks and shifts resorted to to at
trnct public attention to an article or place of
business arc manifold and astonishing. Here
is one, which the writer Witnessed himself:
The other day In passing ulong the street, I
stopped with large crowd near o meat
store, where loud alteration was proceed
ing, with loud and angry language. It was
on Saturday evening, and the streets were
filled with people and market stalls, some
what as Fifth street in Cincinnati is on the
same evening. It was easy, therefore, to
gather crowd by any disturbance. In this
meat store the chief butcher Was threatening
most violently junior partner ;becAhse be
Ind sold a string Of the finest Sausage at only
nine-pence a pound to some woman the
butcher "Would not stand it, by G-;''"h
would break up tho partnership Tomorrow ~
and III he did not take care be would knock
the breath out Of him then and there,'' The
other Whincd out aome apology and deaed

heltishtowns. II you, sir, ever sell another
one for less than ten-pencc, you'n catch it!'
NOW the sausages. were scarcely purchnseable
elsewhere in the market under shilling; and
1t actually turned out that this noise and fury
were all mock scene to bring crowd to the
door and advertise the sausage. saw seve-
ra1 persons buy some of the sausares.

F The Democratic ~ and Conservative
members Of Congress- have Mt last contriycd
resolution upon which they are all agreed.
They have adopted it unanimously and arc
harmonious Here 1t is:

which We are now engaged to close, ani to re-

The Republicans join the sDemocrats' u and
Conservatives on this platform It expresses
cxactly what they desire and what they are
tsying to do. They are ardent afor the res

they advocate and demand that sseuch policy
shall be pursued towards the people Of the
insurrcctionary States as shall be best calcu-
lated to bring the war to close, and restore
said States to the Union" With this greet
object stcadfastly in view the Republican
party have adopted the most efficient policies
in their power to reduce the rebels to submis-
sion to the constitution and the laws They
began by trying the easy methods proposed
by the Copperheads, but 1t was like throwing
grass at the boy in the tree stealing apples,
filing the traitors with laughter and con-
tempt ut the Government Stronger policies
are now being tried with the happIest effect
The army Is no longer employed guarding
the property Of traitors nor in catching and
returning loyal negroes to disloyal claimants;
but the property Of rebels is confscated for
the support Of our armies, and the Union
men Of the rebel States whether white or
black are enlisted Into the Federal service to
help reduce the guilty insurgents to submits
sion to the laws. And when the war is over,
peace restored and the Union saved, the mas
ses Of the rebels will be allowed to exercise
and enjoy every constitutional right aad priv.

Tren111cnt OF Soldiers in New York.
ScFeral regiments OF veteran volunteers,
says the New York Tribune, recently return
cd from the seat Of war, covered with honor
able scars and bearing their battle stained
and battered colors through our streets. Their
arrival has been duly acknowledged in the
newspapers, and their deeds have been re-
corded In prose and verse by appreciative pa
triots; but their reception has not been equal
to their merits. No Preparations were made
by the State authorities to receive them. No
place had been provided for their shelter. No
tables were spread for their entertainment
No State officials extended to them hand Of
welcome Had they 6eea foreigners, Just landed
at our schartvs, or other Mn]ie7dlde1 stfanycrx
they could not have been treated with more
indifference BY Gov. Seymour, and get he
knew perfectly well that these brave mcu
were coming here. He had been notified Of
their Intentions The press announced the
fact that they were on their way- Theycame
here in the coldest weather ne have had this
winter, tired and trayel-Worn, and hungry,
and the only quarters offered to them
were the barc boards of the Park
Barracks, and even that dirty den,
BY the Copperhead Common Council Why
are these men subjected to such shabby treat
ment. Why have the State authorities neg
1ected to provide for their wants? Is Gov
ernor Seymour offended because they have
rc-en1isted? are they snnbbed by him be-
liberty? Arc The rights Of soldiers 10 be
ignored, when they come home to aid In re-
cfuitiDg their wasted ranks? Ia gross neg
lect and inhospitality to be the reward given
By the State to veterans In the service?
The short answer to these questions is, that
Seymour and his crew are Copperheads, who
sJmpathise with, the rebels, and hate the
brave men Who have sworn to crush them.
A "blue coatn Is obnoxious in their eyes.
Their affections are oll bound up in the sue
cess and welfare Of the "g1aybaclss." ="
