CHEAP ADVERTISING. The Camden Journal, shows up in its proper colors, a certain patent medicine I House in New York, an agent from which, , came around spmo time ago, for the purpose of selling nicdii jm-s and making con* . ? I tracts lor advertising. The Journal states the ease as follows : 'A few weeks ago. the traveliinjr agent of a prominent llo.se In New York, called to ascertain upon what tonus we would advertise fdY said House; unstated our terms, making n liberal discount from established rates for transient advertisement*, as is our custom with yearly advertisers. These terms appeared to be satisfactory to the agent,who said tjiat lie would transmit a copy to tlic llouuy, lor its iieceptaiiec or rejection. A few days ago wo received a letter upon the subject from the 1'roprictors in New Yoik, w ho, after a courteous introduction, and an.* pic apology for not w riling sooner, proeec ded to make the following proposition: "We enclose you a sheet containing 12 j communications, which we wish to appear one tijac each per month i:i your paper as traded reading mailer in tin editorial page, j set up in the same kind <J type as your editu- ! rials, for which we will pay you the sum of 1 " naming an amount which would not pay the compositor for his labor.

Such a piece ol downright effrontery, we have, rcarcoly or never before w itncsscd.iind our liiends may imagine that our eply was decidedly prompt and to the point?being a little nuiruolni and wishing to impress up j on their minds that we vttanl what we saiii in our tit st piopositioti. We were served precisely In thi-* u.a ' and us we have reason to believe, by the j same man alluded to above Upon u rea- j unliable estimate, we would say that the offer made us. would amount to about one- , fourth of-wbut we proposed to doit for,, mid our terms Were not objected to by the 1 agent, who stated that it was v. liat l|?oy haJ been i:i the iinbit of one our w Id.-li w-m vo much per line. IK; lirst applied for I In? I editorial column's which we rtTuscd to set j a price upon:?lie then propot-td for that page, his uotiees to r.ppeur once each. He stated that he had sueec ded in arranging to advertise in the <(liloii.il columns of sev. oral papers, t hat lie pnmeil.Knst of this, hut i as \et he has tiot appeared in these papers, . and we are constrained to b. lie e that lie ; niatle a slight mistake in his statement to ; us. We have one idea in refi-repcc to this affair, and \vc rnmmtiniv'al.d it tu this House when we answered H eir insulting proposi* lion. It is this ; A part, at least, of the j agent's business was to sell medicines, and j iminccim nN ttt ru held out to the merchants here, lli.it they would be advertised through j the paper, ji^d til ibis way, doubtless, be t sold more than lie otherwise would have i done. This tuny have been the plan pursued at every place Ik at be went to?a made up alFair between the ngciit r.nd the proprie tors, and die t riding offer afterwards m.'.de by the latter, was a moans of get tiny out of the implied obligation to the no r 1 chants. Or, if we adopt the o'her and more charitable understanding of it?that , tiiey really ur^hod tu get tluir adveiUsing done upon such miserably low terms, then i we muat conclude tli.-.t the agent did not I understand his business and was but little ! acquainted with the low, grinding and par j Muiouious character of the House that be | was acting for. In our reply to them, they were informed that tliey had asked for and ' obtained our lowest terms, which Were then 1 lower, perhaps, than would justify us, and ! that we tore not quite reduced to the nc- | e^ssity of taking up any and every proposition, especially when made under such cir. cumstances a* the above. It in n species ot advertising (patent lycti- ! ieiiies in general) Hint we i re by no means partial to ;?some of them arc doubtless good medicines, but many are intolerable bumboes, and were the Southern people imbued with the same spirit of advcttiaing ?appreciated its importance, and did they practice it as do their more energetic neighbor* of the North, then, the Southern pre** would not, from necessity, be forced to barter its column* for h class of advertising, which in many cases they regard as hum- i buggery and which is objectionable to the eye ot the intelligent reader.
