M A KING THF.FUR FLY:
Of all the champions of the South, wo
rank the Richmond (Va.) Examiner as the
spiciest, if not the ablest. It can throw the
ardest brick-bat at the enemies of the
South, and say more in a few words than
any paper *re have the pleasure of reading.
Fide the following exchange:
Since the adjournment of Congress, the
sectional question has merged inU» the con
sideration of South Carolina’s movements.
This State has made up her mind to secede
from the Union with all the proper forms.
That she has the same right to do it which
| she had to come into the Union is a propo-
j sition which dues not admit of discussion.
The only argument which the satalhtes of
the administration can advance to the
| contrary, is the threat of brute force. T his
I they are urging with loud voices and many
oaths. Mr. Daniel Webster, known through
life as a most notorious poltroon—the same
!| Webster who was forced to write himself
down as a liar and coward by Randolph of
Roanoke, and who has again and again ex
hibited in public that want of manliness
which has made his worst enemies hang
their heads sets the key-note of the warlike
talk in a letter to a Yankee ‘Union’ meet-
i I ing. All the spaniels of the administration
I j are in full cry in consequence. ‘Secession
| ! i« war’—if South Carolina attempts to exer-
j ! cise her indisputable right, we will send
I UniteJ States troops there to ravage her
||( fields, burn her capital, rape her women
« : and and hang her men. Such is the pres-
! ent discourse of the ‘brave’ of Marshfield,
■ the hero of the House, the pensioner of
i Great Britiaiq and of as equally heroic flun-
(‘ keys in the Federal parly.
Their distant truculence is matter of
I ' small import to those who recollect the be
haviour of this same party in every war we
| have ever had with any people on the
, globe; who remember their petition for
peace; and who have not fbrgotton the blue
lights which they kindled literally only on
the shores of Rhode Island and during our
last war with Britain, but which they burnt,
I in effect, on every spot of the land and to
! every contest whether with England or
j Mexico or France. But while they are
J nothing in themselves, they are deeply to
I be regretted by those who desire the
i Union’s perpetuity. Their exasperating
' effect upon the justly angered State cannot
! ’ be calculated. If South Carolina leaves the
Union, that doplorable event must be at
tributed to the bullying of the administra-
| tion even more than to the infamous out-
, rage on the South, known as the ‘late hap-
i py adjustment’ of the slavery disputes.
Should the day ever arrive in which the
, Federal government in the hands of fools,
tyrants and covvar^, attempts to coerce a
sovereign State as it now threatens to do,
no doubt will remain whether the Union
longer exists. The day on which blood is
shed in such a quarrel will range every
slaveholding State on the side ot the op
pressed, and bring beuealh her banner eve
ry man in their lauds who is aught but the
tool and sycophant of despotic power.
V B. PALMAR’S HINTS FOR BUSINESS
MEN.
The door to wealth, respectability, in
fluence and honor, is thrown wide open to
all.
He who neglects advertising not only
robs himself of his fair advantage, but be
stows the spoils on his wiser rivals.
He who advertises judiciously and ex
tensively, can afford to sell to his customers
to belter advantage than he who does not;
because he adopts the correct means to
multiply their number and secure to him
self a much larger amount of business.
He who does the greatest business can do
it at the smallest per-ceutage of profit.
Au old business may subsist until its cus
tomers drop off by death or removal; but
he who would build up a business now,
must be “like the time,” and improve the
advantages it offers.
To neglect it, is like resolving never to
travel by steam, nor communicate by >ol-
egraph. It is to close one’s eyes to the
light, and insist upon living in perpetual
darkness. An individual may do it at his
own cost, but a community, a class will
never act so unwisely.
The man who refuses to advertise his
business, in effect, confesses incapacity and
defeat, and retreats to the rear ranks of his
profession.
Discrimination and circumspection should
be exercised in the selection of places, and
a choice made of the papers best adapted to
the pursuits of advertisers.
It is idle to speak of the cost of adverti
sing as an impediment—as well might one
object to the cost of sheltering his goods,
protecting them from thieves, or dealing
them out to customers.
Continual, persevering advertising, if
the subject be at all adapted to the wants
and tastes of the public, is sure to be suc
cessful. It is an indisputable fact, that
there i9 no instance of a well susiained ad
herence to a continual system of adverti
sing ever failing of success.
Not many years can elapse before the
large commercial doalings of the country
will concentrate in the hands of one tenth
of the present number of jobbers in pro
portion to the amount of transactions.
The means by which this great and ben
eficent change is to be effected are various,
but chief among them is advertising—not in
two or three papers, nor even in all those
of the city where the business is done, but
in the most widely circulated journals of
the whole region whence custom is desired.
Nothing has yet been done in the way of
advertising compared to what can and in
evitably will be.
The merchant who has a reasonable a-
mount of capital, and his business in good
shape, can far better afford to advertise
to the amount of 810,000 a year than any
less sum.
Thosa who take hold of this mighty en
gine at an early day, and wield it with
judgment and deeission, will make cast for
tunes; while those who neglect it will see
their business dwindle away and perish.
It must be seized, like Time by the fore
lock, or it will leave, the neglectful and
doubling out of sight behind it.
Extensive advertising is morally certain
W work a revolution in trade, by driving
thousands of the easy going out of it and
concautrating business in the hands of a
few who know how to obtain and keep it.
Unite with this the substitution of cash for
credit, and one-fifth of those now engaged
in trade will amply suffice to do the whole,
and will soon have it to do. The revolution
# already begun.

a population of 9,728,923, had in 1850 a
population of 13,575.797. In 1S40 the

j Sale of Prof. Webster's Laboratory, Sfc.
j The various appliances of the late Prof,

Among this extensive assortment were un-
j ique glassware, electrical machines, air-
i pumps, batteries, and the thousand and one
! things, usually found in a chemist’s apart-
\ ments. A great many of the things were
useless, have been manufactured for exper
iments. The sale lasted two hours, and the
proceeds amounted to something over 8500;
being about one third their true value. The
most notable article in the collection was a
magnet, once owned by the distinguished
French chemist Lavoisier, who, it is well
known, was behea ied during the great
French Revolution. After various fortunes
j it came into the possession of Prof. Web-
j ster, by whom it was highly prized. It
j saems to have been owned by men who
j have met with a most unfortunate end. The

SCARCITY OF WOOL AT TilE NORTH.
We perceive from one of theNoithern journals,
that an assault committed on a poor old negro, the
oilier day, by. we suppose, one of their abolition
friends, he lost, if not hisscalp, nearly the whole of

uf hostility which these affectionate friends ofthe
oppressed descendants of Ham feel against ihe South,
is likely to lead to tho adoption of a novel method
for obv iating the necessity o! resorting t<5 them for
one atricle, of commerce, and that the wool of an

of the country, or will no doubt be manufactured

I asks our views, in common with those of

j upon the subject of Union parties and so

the attempt made to get up a Union party

i cant made over its remains as pretty much
j of the same character. We regard the
i principles ofthe Democratic party as right
j and proper, and as founded upon the con*

| requires an abuegaiiotrot principles, or an
abandonment of the organization necessary
to carry those principles into effect, as a
humbug —a humbug devoid of principle—
n fact, an unprincipled humbug. An ob-
ect which cannot be obtained by persever

taining at all. It has only been a diver

future permanence can be secured. We

MORE OF ITS FAITHFUL EXECUTION.
The Ohio Legislature, on the 22d of
February, passed ‘an act securing the ben
efit of habeas corpus,’ which comes quite
up to the Vermont act. It makes it thedi.-
ty of the Attorney General of the State,
and the prosecuting attorney of the coun
ties—
‘•To protect and defend all persons arresteJ as fu
gitive slaves, and to in ike immediate application to
specified courts and judges for the writ, and upon its
return, to grant a trial by jury on all questions of fact
at issue between the parties, provided either party
make application for such trial. If the verdict of the
jury thus called shall be in favor of the person
claimed as a fugitive slave, lie shall forthwith be res
tored lo his liberty; and if lhe claimants shall again
claim ownership in the slave, within the State? lie
shall be deemed guilty of felony, and on conviction
thereof, shall be imprisoned in the penitentiary, fur
not more than'five, nor less than two years.”
The following resolutions of instruction
for the repeal of the fugitive slave law, has
also passed the lower House of this body,
by a vote of forty to twenty.
“ Hr solved hy the Gear nil Assembly of the State of
Ohio, That our Senators in Congress be instructed,
and our Representatives requested, to use all honor
able means to obtain an immediate repeal, modification
or amendment of the act of Congress, usually s yled
the fugitive slave law, approved September 1?,
1850.
“ Resolved. That the Governor ofthe State ofOhio,
lie requested to forward each of our donators and
Representatives in Congress, a copy of the above res
olution.”
Another evidence of the sentiment of tho
people of Ohio in relation to the fugitive
portion of the Compromise, is evinced iu
the recent election of Judge Benj.F. Wade
to the United States Senate. The New
Yoik Tribune, the reputed organ of the
higher law doctrines—which may be suppos
ed to speak by the card—thus introduces
the new Ohio Senator to its readers:
‘ Judge Wade is a free-soi! whig and a determined
opponent of the fugitive slave law. but has never per
ceived that lus free-soil principles could be promoted
by abandoning and opposing the whig parly,
which carries all before it in his section. He was an
early and decirlej supporter of General Taylor for
President, yet be is now elected by the aid of free
soil votes. We ventuie to say that the National Ad
ministration wiil find no firmer, no heartier support
er of all its measures based ou old fashioned whig
principles than Judge Wade ;while for anil aid it "it]
want in the way of slave c itching it may look with a*-
fidencr to the ranks of its political arl versa vies, to tci"»
the business is more congenial. We presume there
will be no present lack ol help in that line.”

WHAT 13 OUR DUTY?
In a few plain words, the prosperity of the North
is in a great degree dependant upon the labor and
consumption of the South ! Every document upas
the subject establishes this fact. With the question
of slavery, whether it is rigtitor proper, and whether
there is not quite as much white slavery in other
countries as there is black slavery in this, we have
nothing at present to do with. What we wish do*
particularly to place before the eves of freemen at
the North is—the position ofihe Northern States »
members of the Union. The wealth of the Uuitetl
States consists greatly in the production ofcoltoo.
and the Southern consumption of Northern maun -
factored goods. This admitted, is it not readily If
be seen what out condition at the North would be /
our relations wilh the South are broken up? ft*
are aware that - hi«her law” men will accuse ushera
of treating the subject of the Union as. to use tbeif
cant plira*e, one of ••cotton.” While we claim w
be ns good patriot* a-those who opeuly talk nf a -

issue they hold out to us. The question of the sL1 '
bility ofthe Union of these States is a que-tinn wtiich.

their interests, and we sound the alarm that danjaf
may be averted!
