The Democratic majority for Governor Is de-

the change of party strength In that Slate

THE SECRET OF ADVERTISING is not yet
discovered by all who advertise. A good
deal of money and space is wasted in clum-
sy announcements, which nobody reads,
heavy standing placar1s, which no more
stimulate purchasers than the names on
signs. Much money is also wasted In circu-
lars, which are thrown into entries and down
cellarways, and always received with con-
tempt, or in so.called advertising sheets,
which nobody reads. There is no medium
that comes into such close contact with the
people as the newspaper; and II advertisers
only understood their business they could
make their part of the paper as interesting
as any other part of 1t. In many OF the
German papers, advertising is carried on to
an extent OF which we have NO idea. The
newspaper is the real exchange. Every
body goes to it with all his wants, and al
most all his woes. The consequence is that
the sheets are as lively as neighborbood gos-
sip, and often the pages desoted to adverti-
sing are the best parts Of the paper. And
the papers are read through. The announce
ments are always short, always "transient,"
and one looks at them 10 the morning to see
what the world has to offer him that day, by
way of business or amusement. Perhaps
his next door neighbor has rare piece of
china or choice engraving to sell, or he
would like to get an odd number OF some
serial, which you would happen to have;
somebody, somewhere, announces something
that interests you, and so life is made more
endurable, trade is quickened, and wants
are supplied. We look to see more gene
raj use of the advertising columns OF news
papers in this country for all the wants
and queries of life.-HdrJord Courdnt.

The DEBATE in the House, yesterday, in
the new Tariff bill, showed, still further,
that the friends of the measure are much
stronger than the blatant advocates OF Free
Trade have been representing. The propo-
siiion of the Ways and Means Committee
upon cotton goods, was carried, several
amendments offered by the mouth pieces
of the New York importers having been
successfully voted down. The present
duty on cotton goods is; for unbleached,
y to 9 cents per square yard and Is to &c
per cent. ad vclorem; the new bill places
the duty at . cents per square yard, with
nothing ad valorem. On beached goods, il
is now . to q cts, and 10 to 20 per cent
the new bill makes it cents, an ~ per cent
On prints, &C., it is now 81 to &c, and q
per cent. This simply applies more def
se rule, by specific duties, and avoids somt
Of the undervaluations and frauds now prac
tised by the ad valorem system.

MANY PEOPLE will read with regret the
report of the dsbanding of the American
Anti Slavery Society, while they fully con-
cur III the wisdom of such action, now that
the great principles which the society has
50 unilnchingly advocated for the forty
years OF its existence have triumphed so
completely. 1t brings feeling of sadness
t, all who knew and loved that noble band
Of men and women who upheld the grand
old Abolition cause so long, TO think that
their annual meetings are ended.
This organization, more than any other,
represented the most enlightened conscience
Of America, and its members endured con-
mmely and persecution heroically, and
many OF them even became martyrs for
their cause. They are the heroes of a more
lengthy campaign, than that of the armies
through whom their principles finally tri-
umphed, and it would seem proper that they
should form an organization similar in object
to those formed by our armies, to bring about
pleasant reunions of veterans who were com
panions in arms, fighting with other than
carnal weapons through forty years.

On Tuesday OF last week, between
the afternoon and evening perform
ance Of the circus at Potosi, two
men belonging to the company were
willfuIly shot by John Brent. One
was shot in the breast, and the
wound at the time was supposed to
be mortal the other was shot in the
neck, and although severely wounded
was able to be removed and was
sent by the Company to Dubuque.
AT the last account the one wound
cd in the breast was alive and APP
parently recovering. The men who
were the victims, were shot while at
their supper at the bakery had
given no provocation and had no
quarrel with the aggressor. The
shots were fired from the street, and
the would be murderer after threat
ening TO shoot any one who attempt
ed To arrest him, was permitted to
depart in the presence of more than
a score of ablebodied spectators, and
up to the present time has made good
his escape.
Two persons are now under arrest
as being in some manner accessory
to the attempted double MURDER
Their examination this week will
doubtless furnish full particulars of
the whole matter, from when we
may give our readers a full account
IN our next number.
