our Merchant-—-Read
The Editor of thy Wedywwe (Ala.) Mercury,
••Wo found the uiflrchftnta of C oh* mb us al
though doing a good busiae*-. very miserly
about advertising; Many of theui seemed to think
that advertising would lur of no advantage to
them, whilst others excused them selves on the
ground that they were already advertising iu
othor pajxtrs. Wo could not get them out of ihoir
old tr y notions and so we had to leave them in
their ignorance- Wdiep we get a railroad through
here we w ifi get their patrmiage, may he.”

a fortune in advertising. It is bread upon the

find in tho Washington State* a programme of the j .

for the following platform of principles.
1. A constitution based on what we would
term “tstttte-rights and popular-sovereignty prin- i
clples.”
“2. Freedom of oonscionceaod worship.
3* Freedom of the press and supremacy of the

The seiiatortlilp.
Our coteiuporary of tlm Atlanta Intollitjcncer,
in ft lending editorial, advocates tho elnims of
Hon. Hcrschel V. Johnson to a seat ‘in tho Uni.
tod States Senate ai the expiration of Mr.lvorsou’s
term. We have no objection to it* course. Tho
Beittoeraoy ho it said to its credit- has men
in it* ranks capable us filling all its gifts, (lov.
Joltsun is all thut can bq>uid of ffim. lie tower*
up agiiuit of strength, wielding u buttle axe, than
which a brighter blade gleuufs not in this night
of Southern adversity. Wo will not say aught
against him or disparage his claims to u position
which ho has adorned. Nor will wo utter one
word against any other protuinunt democrat who
aspires tor Senatorial honors.
But the grounds upon which our cotemporary
rests its objection* to Judgo I verson's re-election
arc somewhatsiugular not, tlmt ho has not been
a faithful public servant -not that ho has uot
sufficient talent—not s ihat he has compromised
our right* -not that hi* “course in Congress” has
not been ‘'approved,” hut because ho was “elec
ted to his present position jls a vomptMinitu man ‘
and therefore “lie should in a spirit of magna
nimity retire field.” In which event,
our coteiuporary contends that tho “truck is clear
for tJov. Johnson.”
Wo must confess that wo cannot soo the force |
of the hitelliy< inera positp.il. It is tho fault,
l-rhaps of our optic*. Why should tho ‘truck’ ho
lie’clear'for (lu\. Johnson any inoro than for
Governor .Mcßonuld, magnanimously
uni ft ‘vd his vlaiuis which wero higher than those
of any other democrat - having been tho nominee
of the party- that Judge Iverson or solno other
distinguished democrat might ho selected?
But our coteiuporary says, Judge Iverson was 1
tho “I'OHipetnniw ” candidate ! Os course he wo* ;
and so wo* (lov. Brow n whoso re-nouimuliou the (
lutillijmuei advocates. If lUo one has filled his i
mission and ought to retire, so ought the other us 1
u matter of course. The uicro fact of the lnt< /li
•ft nrei'* belief (hut one may hu a little more popu- ,
lur thau Ihe other doe* not strengthen its posi
tion, even were it true. That is uot the point in
issue. It is not whether a public servant has dis
charged his duties with fidelity- it is uot whet iter
lie has won the wreath of fame it is uot whet her
his defeat would divide uml distract the party, but
whether he was tho i *iMnnprvin:*c” candidate. If ,
tho latter fact appuujSj then his head must he ta
ken ..11. We itru content to root Judge Iverson's
claims with his parly. We do not advocate his
re-election to the disparagement of other*, pel
hups, equally worthy. Wo cannot consent,.how
ever, to stand idle and see that policy inaugura
ted into the Democratic party, which is to ignore
the merit, position, lame, honor, and sendees of
public then for the sake ofn false “inagintiuity ‘<
Especially aro wo surprised to find the Intel!f

aged, when, through the press of their State, they
saw that you had not only, nhly maintained those
rights and interests, hut that yon had thrown
down the gauntlet of defiance to their unnatural

Impressed with tho patriotic service so timely
rendered the South in your speech upon the Pa

their hopes, and animated to renewed effort the

The I’etipleN Party
This is the stylo of tho now parly which ha*
recently beon formally organized in Virginia aud
Kentucky in opposition to the Democracy of tho
nation. It* object, hut poorly disguised, is to
secure the offices and share tho spoil* of the oov
eminent. It enunciates no grout principle, nor
does it condescend to hint in what way its avow
ed objects, which all good men desire, hut which
it impudently appropriates, may ho utluined. Ac
cording to the Louisville Journal; it* platform
consist* of “three affirmative planks. First, pre
serve tho Union aud chuck disunion tendencies;
.Second, give peace to the nation on the slavery
question; Third, give it tin economical adminis
tration of its affairs.” It would be the most su
perlative foily to think that any sane man, at the
South could object to the last plank in this struc
ture. It is, of course to the interest of the turifi
beneficiaries in the North to desire an extrava
gant and wasteful expenditure of the public treas
ure; hut with us who “loot tho bills” there is,
and ever must he, a perfect unanimity of senti
ment in favor of an economical administration of
tho Government. The two first plauks have been
incorporated into every platform, whether Whig.
American or Democratic, thut ever was construct
ed. Thu point of diil'uruuuo has been u* to the
manner in which they are to he made prac
ticaily operative m the legislation of tho country.
Tlm Southern Rights Democracy have contended
that the Union could ho best preserved and a qui
etus given to the slavery question by a dctcruii
nation on the part of the South to resist any und
every aggression upon Uur right iu reference to
that subject, and, furthermore, they preferred
disunion, attended even with all the horrors with
which weak minds have invested it, to suhmis
ioh to wrong. Their opponents huve preferred
the policy of surrendering, and renewed aud ag
gravated abolition agiiution has ever followed
their success. That this policy would be illus
trated in the practice of the new party, may ho
interred as well trout their studied abstiuoueu from
allusion to the subject as from the antecedent* und
character of sumo of its originators tuui champi
on*. We involuntarily associate the idea of sub
mission with the name of John Minor Bolts, and
if the Louisville Journal ever advocated a posi
tion that squinted at. “standing up” wo have yet
to learn it. The Journal says, that “the propo
sition is addressed to all men of all parties and see
lions, who are neither abolitionists nor disunion-
IMS.” Now, how many men at tho North are
thus addressed, outside of the Democratic party! 1
Not one in every thousand ! True there aro some
iu that party for whom we care so little that
we would be .almost willing to see them join this
motley group : but that, they would thus he com
mended to the cordial embrace of Southern men,
or could lie much improved by political affilia
tion, with such men aB Bolts and Prentice, are
ideas too romantic to be seriously entertained.-
A national organizat ion, then, is possible, only on
the supposition that 4hey will be able to find re
eixiits in the abolition party of the North. Some
of these might be induced to drop their present
designation aud, with a platform of such broad
and ambiguous meaning, join the ‘‘People’* par
ty but. “a rose by any other name would smell
as sweet”- and so would carrion.

The plan adopted by tho author is,

3d. A ay uopsin or digest under appropriate ti

strikingly suggestive. Can it ho otherwise than
that hi* administration of the Executive depart
