Spring Business-BeneGt OF Advertising


Opening or the Season.


To Judge by the preparations going on, and
movements on every side, we should think that
there will be as great amount OF business done
this spring in any season in a number OF
years. AT no time, probably, since the begin.
ming of our existence as a nation, has business
been in better and sounder condition than it
is at present; and the only drawback Is the un-
certain state of our foreign relations. Were these
settled in an amicable and satisfactory manner,
there would be nothing to impede the progress of
the American people, in their onward march to
prosperity. AS il is, however, there is every pros
pect of an active and extensive business being
done, and before Six weeks past, the business
portion OF the city will be the scene Of hustle and
excitement, as great. as on any former OCCASION
Merchants from the south and west are already
beginning to arrive, to make theripurchases for the
ensuing summer.


These welcome vslters will find an assortment Of
goods of all descriptions as full and varied as
were ever before in the market. Within the last
few days several Of our noble packets have arrived
4 IL - g
commerce. The beautiful broadcloths of England,
and the magnificent silks OF France, arranged tempt
ingly on the shelves Of our merchants, await the
arrival Of our country merchants TO make their pur-
chases and convey them for the use of their Gus
toners in distant parts.


Notwithstanding the exertions OF the merchants
Of Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore, the city Of
New YORK maintains her stand, and, we doubt not,
will remain forever the commercial emporium of
this continent. The inducements to purchase in
this city are greater than in any other place. and the
well-known characteIof New York merchants for
honorable dealing, is well calculated to inspire
gers with confidence in the representations made to
them in regard to their purchases.


Although, as business men, the people of this city
are equal to any in the world, think they neglect
their own interests very much in one point. But
few Of them seem to be of the great advan,a-
ges arising from freely advertising their names and
business in the public prints. This is unaccount-
able oversight. There are some of them, however,
who do appreciate these means OF advancing them
selves in business and prosperity; and they find
that the few dollars they expend annually, in this
manner, amply repay them A merchant may have
an unexceptonabe stock of goods on hand-his
character may be above suspicion-but in no way,
except by advertising can he get to be celebrated.
Let any man take file OF our city papers for fifteen
or twenty years back, and he will be convinced Of
the truth OF this statement Let him take an inventory
of those who haye advertised literally in the public
Journals and the result will show that tenths OF
them have hourished beyond their most sanguine
anticipations when they commenced business.
He will find that those who have acquired en- inde-
pendence, and retired to live on their means, were
all aware Of this great talisman, and those Of them
who are yet in business are among our most sub
stantial men,


But these valuable means of extending business,
and becoming known, require to be used with
discretion. Papers of large circulation and influence
should be selected for this purpose-such as clrcu-
late extensively in the South and West, and among
the1 class Of people for whom the advertisements
are intended. The great reputation and influence
Of the Nes Yovk Herald render it valuable me-
dunn FLOR this purpose. With circulation .ot
upwards OF forty thousand, and over hundred
thousand readers, it has advantages possessed
by NO other paperin the country. In every city,
village and hamlet IN The country, the Ncp York
Herald is carefully filed, and read with avidity-a
compliment paid no other journal


We would, therefore, suggest TO our city mer-
chants the Importance OF advertising their occupa-
tons and we offer to transact their business in this
respect, on the most favorable terms.


The RIGHTS OF WoMAN.-There is an evident
disposition throughout the Union to abolish those
absurd and unjust restriction which the common
law imposes upon the equitable rights Of married
women in their property. To quote master spirit
Of legislation, it is not right to make the man
tyran and to reduce to a passive state OF slavery
the which, by Its feebeness and its tenderness,
most needs the protection of the laws. The interests
of women have been too often sacrificed The
rules of marriage are code Of violence the
man receives the lions share" For pears
the attention of the most enlightened Ameri-
can Legislators has been directed to this SUBJ
ject, but the age was too far behind the movement
proposed, to enable them to accomplish much
Light is, however, gradually penetrating the darkest
recesses Of the public mind and, during the course
Of this winter, several Of the Legislatures of the
Union have passed laws to protect the rights OF
women.


In Ohio, the subject has been warmly discussed,
and the Legislature have had under consideration
bill enlargng the powers Of married women.


In Kentucky, the privileges of married women
have been greatly increased. Slave property is to
be placed in the same category with real and Is moi
