New YORK, September ia Mexico
city correspondence, of August 20, says
considerable canvassing and excitement
followed the call made by President
Juarez for a general election. Factions
were active and the opposition were
neglecting no opportunity to diminish
the chances Of President Juarez. The
latter is in favor of so amending the
Mexican constitution as to make it like
that of the United States. He is in
favor Of allowing the clergy to vote and
be voted for; of having two houses of
Congress, and making the minister re-
port to the executive, as is done in the
United States
Santa Anna trial is daily expected to
take place. His counsel will be the
same gentleman who defended Maximil-
ian. Tie general impression is that he
will not be executed, but his estate will
be confscated
The roads are being successfully cleared
of robbers, and large conduct of specie
had gone down to Vera Cruz.
Lazado had surrendered to Corona
and Escobedo.
Cauales and Lopez, the traitor, are
doing their best, each in their own way,
to leave their mark in history.

ADVERTISING.

There is o limit assigned by prudence
to all enterprises, and thers is a stingi-
ness which is penny wisdom and pound
foolishness. A merchant builds or rents
a fine storeheuse, arranges his goods
tastefully on the shelves, and puts a con-
spicuous sign on his door, because he
sees that people must know where be is
before they will make purchases, and
that he must set his stock of to advan-
tsge, as we'll as procure good articles, in
order TO secure the return of customers.
Having done SO much, some stop, and
think TO rely on their merits, without
advertising; while others, knowing the
great importance of becoming widely
known. and having learned byexperienee
that publishing their business in the
newspapers, which 20 into every family,
10 he read at leisure by men, women and
children. advertise freely, and often at
grrater expense than they incur for rents
and embellishing their stores. What Is the
consequence of the former as compared
with the latter polioy2 While men who

unan imously approved last year, and Of
it the Herald says:
THIS unexpected aud dangerous revo-
luti,)nary experiment has given the def
mite. voice to the California election,
VIII Atever may be the superficial explana'
ito ms of the defeated party. Public
Opinion is cryslalizing against that ultra
revolutionary joint committee OF safety
which has undertaken, not only TO recon-
struct the South, but the general govern
ment itself, on a system which proposes
to abolish the Executive Department and
the essential reserved legislative powers
Of the several States. There is also be-
ginning TO be strong, active public sem
timent against that federal political ma
chine organized and put ia operation by
Mr.. Chase in his national bank system,
and fully maintained by McCulloch, I'M
der which these banks receive boun-
ties or psrquisites amounting to TWEEN

the Radical excuses and experiments
and destructive schemes Of the Repub-
lican party; and the movement@ill now

nG~ The exSecretary Stanton smore
likely to 60 down to history with the
badge of the Infamous tyrant than he is
to win any great share of popularity as
martyr to any principle. The Coopers-
town IN. W Journal is beginning to
call attention to his many acts of
tyranny, making a statement of the cases
of two respectable gentlemen, Messrs.
Coin and Jones, who, in 1864, we're sent
by the Governor Of New York to the
Potomac camps to receive the votes of
the New York soldiers. The vote Of New
York being then doubtful and important,
and it being feared that Democratic votes
might be thus secured, these gentlemen
were arrested to preventit, on the charge
of defrauding soldiers of their votes
not the least evidence Of that character
existing against them. They were con-
fined in the Old Capitol prison, October
81, 1864, and treated most cruelty;
placed in room without any furniture
whatever, fed as felons, allowed nothing
but sacks Of straw and billets OF
wood for bed and pillows, de-
prived of water to wash, and the
scant supply of provisions, furnished
them "a cup of coffee and bread, or
stewed dried apples and fat pork often

far to ameliorate their condition, that

the 26th Of November they were placed
in solitary confinement and made to
subsist on hard tack and fight the YER
min which infested the prison" On the
9th they were brought to trial,
which lasted forty days, and paraded
back and forth, as criminals, from the
court to the prison daily. On the 9th of
January, 1865, the trial was concluded
in their acquittal, and not until nineteen
days after were they discharged. And
when they were discharged tit being for
the interest of Stanton & Co. to keep on
foot the charge which the radical papers
were busy circulating against them) it |
was not until two years one month and
six days after the finding that the fact of
acquittal was made known. And yet
they were acquitted on all the charges,

now that mary do advertise, and all read
newspapers, aud tho public journals
have become the educators Of the coun-
try, because the greater part lind
time to read little or nothing else,
IL has become necessary part
of merchants expenditure, that
advertising should be constant. No
man, who does not do it, can keep up
with his neighbor who does, for his
neighbor will go on constantly enlarging
his business, while he cannot become
known to large circle because he Will

readers of the LEDGER daily land II is

you have fresh articles on sale at low
rates Can It fail to bring in all ones
friends, who may have forgotten him,
and even those that are Indifferent to
him, in curiosity to see what he will do
for them ? All the most enterprising
and successful. business men of the
country, taught by experience, are now
advertising more literally than ever.
Why do they incur the sometimes very
large expense OF it from year to year,
ifthey have not learned from experience
that it will pay? Bonner, of the New
York Ledger, will tell his readers the
same thing that we do. And his opinion
should be respected, for the New
York Tribune states that he is very
large and liberal advertiser himself, and
has paid that journal $4,000 for a single
advertisement Of his literary paper, while
it al,o states that Boston druggist
advertises in its columns annually to the
amount of $4,000. The result is that
both have achieved eminenee and wealth
in their respective vacations. Men who
seldom advertise can never get above
small business, while those who do so
literally, usually increase their business
and profits correspondingly. We do not
deny that we have an interest in these
arguments. But that does not make
them false, nor will any suspicion of
interest weaken their force when it is
fairly considered. A good store and
good goods, with good owners and good
clerks, must make itself known if it ever
does good business And to suppose
that making ones business widely,known
all over the country will not overpay the
cost Of using the only practicable means
of doing it is unreasonable.
