THE TRANSCRIPT.
Friday, June =, 1867.
The State Convention.

IL will be seen on reference to the
proceedings, which we elsewhere pub
publish, that the convention at Mont
pclicr was not only well attended, but
complete success in every particu
lar. Notwithstanding this success,
Mr.. Weber of Rochester pursuant
10 instructions" moved that the next
State Convention be Mass Conven-
ton, but the delegates couldn't see
it., and very properly tabled the mo-
ton. All accounts agree that finer
looking or more intelligent body of
men has seldom been assembled in a
political convention. The delegate
system has now been fairly inaugura
ted and we are sure that the people
will not soon want to return to the
ugly and ungainly mass system.
The ticket nominated is what the
people have for some weeks been an.
ticipating. Mr.. Page will, we feel
confident, honor the Office to which he
will be elected. His able discharge Of
the onerous duties of Treasurer du-
ring the war is sufficient proof of this
Gen. Thomas was formerly member
of Democratic party but on the break
ing out of the rebellion he forgot
p'ry and party lines and, by word
and deed, aided in bringing about the
peace we are now enjoying. In his
remarks to the convention he said be
fully approved Of the Military recon
struction bill and the accompanying
acts of Congress. He rejoiced when
the word white" was stricken from
the constitution of the territories: and
he trusted he should yet see it wiped
from the Statutes of every State. Mr..
j.. A. Page has been our faithful Treas
urer year or two past and it was en-
nently proper that he should receive a
unanimous nomination. The Free
Press, in an article on the convention
says:
Judge Poland presided with admir-
able dignity and tact. We should
have been glad if some of the time
wasted in the forenoon over the IN at
of adjournment, and by the PROPOSE.
ton to admit outsiders, had been
saved, and opportunity thus afforded
for a speech from Senator EDMUNDs
and other able speakers, who were
present; but on the whole we are not
disposed to find fault with the conven.
ton, on any score. As Judge Poland
remarked at its close, it abundantly
exemplified the advantages of the del.
egatc system. The unanimity with
which proposition 10 call mass con.
ventions iii future was voted down
was especially noticeable, and we ma,
congratulate the party that delegate
conventions are beyond question the
established rule for all time to come.

HORACE GREELEY AND J. G. BREcEEN-
RIpeE-It is stated in Washington, on
authority that can be given if necessa
ny, that Horace Greeley has written a
letter to Breckenridge, urging him to
return to this country and take an
active part in behalf of speedy and
substantial reconstruction, regardless
ofwhat "the fools might say of him.
1t is said that Mr.. Greeley, not know
ing the address of Breckenridge, sent
the letter to lady friend of the latter
in Washington, with request that it
be forwarded, and accompanying it
with a note to her, stating the sub
stance of the letter.

ADVERTISING. The Greenfield, Mass
Gazette and Courier well observes:
There is no better way to secure
success in business than 10y systematic
advertising. Those Of our traders who
have been most successful, have kept
good stocks of goods and let the com
munity know it by a constant system
of advertising. Buyers, before they
visit place to trade, always consult
the paper to see who his got new
goods and what inducements are held
ont to them. On the contrary, trad
ers who do not advertise much gener.
ally, in a short time pass out of the
minds of purchasers and have the
privilege Of keeping their stock OF
goods, or selling them slowly, while
their more enterprising competitors
establishment get to be fayorite and
familiar places Of resort for purchas-
ers and build up profitable and ex-
tensive business. One Of our mer-
chants who has retired from business
with a competence, and who, while in
business, kept a good stock OF good.
and was large and systematic adver.
tiser, says much of his success is at
tributable to his constant adyertis.

Secretary McCulloch has issued
circular to collectors of customs, etc,
calling their attention to the illegal
practice of allowing importers to can
eel the original entry when the goods
arc found to be undervalued more than
ten per cent. on the invoice and make
new entry, thus avoiding the payment
of the additional duty of twenty per
cent. imposed by law. The importer
can only add the amount of underval-
uation to invoices at the time of max
ing the original entry, and before they
have been appraised by the custom
house appraisers. But when he omits
to do SO, and the value of the mcr-
chandise, including costs, charges, etc,
is found by the appraisers to exceed
by ten per cent or more its entered
value, the said additional duty of TWEEN
ty per cent. ad valorem accrues there

which allows collectors or other Off.
