BUSINESS TACT AND EPTOICT.—Every busi :ness demands a.certairt.portion_ of tact and. ef fort to be conducted in a prosperous and suc cessful manner. A merchant, wholesale or re tail, must not expect to increase his sales very materially, without making any effort. There are various ways in which this can be done.— Bat& sales and an increase of trade is the object. The safest, surest, and cheapest way tolreach thisimportant desid"ratum, wil; hesitatingly say, :is a judicious well-directed system of Advertising. The history of almost every bueiness house in our large cities, which has been eminently successful in extending its trade, clearly proves this. Indeed, it has now become a truism in the Business World, that Advertising is the indispensable and efficient means of securing a liberal shltre of custom in any de :party:4mi of trade or nanitfactin:es.

Every Sec retary of State is sworn to honesty, to receive and pay into the State Treasury every dollar of their fees; under the administration of Gov. Johnston, this has boon done, and the above sum gives you the result. That the people may sec the difference, we must state one other fact, viz: During the whole of the fiscal year of 1814, (the Polk and Dallas'campaign) the administration then in power DID NOT. PAY into the State Treasury ONE DOLLAR of Tees fioun the office of the Secretary of State. Ye honest tax-payers of Pennsylvania, what becomo'of all the fees col lected in that year?
