To AuvERTISERS.- The Advocate of Peace which has hitherto declined advertisciment8, is now issued in a form to admit a limited number, and circulating in most of our States, will be found a desirable medium. In this number our own advertise- ments fill nearly our spare space ; but we shall hereafter leave room fr others. SPECIAL NOTICES. To every one who procures three new subscribers with pay, the Advocate will be sent for such service, and gratis to every minister who preaches on the subject once or more every year, and stcures a contribution for the Society, one half to be re- turned, if desired, in its publications. 0 Will not every one flow receiving the Advoccte forward at least one new subscri- her or donor? We wish at once to employ canvassers for the Advocate; and pll pastors, and such persons as they may recommend, are au- horised to procure subscribers. To persons desirous to do gnod by circulating it, we will furnish it on terms that cannot toil to be satisfactory. AG ENTS WANTED To obtain subscribers for the Advocate, and also to circulate pur other publications in every part of the country, on terms extremely liberal. The Advocate is designed for our whole pountry, and we wish to give it circulation in every city, town pod village. To EDITORs OF NEWSPAPERS AND OTHER PERIODICALS : - GENTLEMEN, - We think it only fair to presume, that you are dl friendly to our sole object of doing away the custom of War he- ween nations by the introduction of such peaceful substitutes as hall more effectually secure all its legitimate ends. It is in the irosecution of this great work we publish the ADVOCATE OF EACE, with no expectation or desire of making any money by r, but for the purpose of diffusing as widely as possible among the people the information it contains, in the full belief that lie formation of a right public opinion on the subject will Iradually diminish the frequency and evils of war, and lead .ations at length to supersede it entirely by peaceful expedients pr the settlement of all their disputes. Now, we need not remind you how much you can do, with Ittle or no labor, and quite to the satisfaction of your readers, CIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. 1OWARD MALCOM, D.D., LL.D., PRESIDENT, Philadelphia.
