Shunk should re main far another, term in the post he has: filled so well, had been smothered in a convention falsely iprofessing to represent the democratic party, what sort of vote would the substituted nomination have obtained_ in Pennsylvania? Where would hive been the enthusiasm of the democratic masses which we have witnessed, and thatfaralysis and lethargy of the Whigs? The vote' of the honest yeomanry of Pennsyl vania often puzzles -ordinary pliticiami, who do not sufficiently study moral causes - . The whig leaders of Pennsylvania, just before the late election, were confident of a triumph, but they left out of their calculations one important element at.least—the attachment of-the people towards those vt,ho have served them ably and faithfully. If wo do not learn from the -example of Pennsylvania that it is the true policy of a political party to set up its best men as its candidtites, there is an example of another kind now before our eves in our own State which ought to dispel all remains of -doubt on that head. r i II An4Eanstwo.—The New Orleans Delta has quite a,pitby paragraph on this subject. "Ad vertising," says the editor, "is to business, what oil is to the night lamp.

This is true—all true. - It is the teaching of the times, and he who will not learnt it must never expect, at this period of gene al activity and rivalry in business, to keep up with his advertising neighbors in the race for patronage and prosperity.
