The Test Oath-ErcHemem IN Spartan
brgh-IVe have received Intelligence, of the
most authentic character, that the excitement
in Spartanburgh against the Test Oath, III the
Military Bill is unprecedented; that, in fact
the people of that District are absolutely = fran
tc'' on the subject, and seem determined to re-
sist by an appeal to arms, If necessary. Some
moderate men, who have stood high with the
Union Party in that quarter: have endeavored
in vain to stems the torrent; and any attempt TO
enforce the Military Bill there, WILL we are as
sured prove the signal Of a civil war. Spar
|tanburgh stands ready to follow the example
of Greenve, and the mountain region Of our
state NAV soon be crimsoned with the blood OF
brethren shed in mortal strife, unless those who
WELD the political power and indeed the destl-
nv of the State, determine to suspend the rash,
unnecessary, and pr0scrlptve edlct, which now
threatens to re-kindle, even more iercey and
dsastrously than ever, the almost eXtinguished
fires of civil contention. There are those who
make light Of these indications of popular dis
content; but we know that they portend dire
CONFUSION, which, let it terminate as it may,
will leave the victorious to mourn, not tri-
umph, over a scene Of domestic desolaton.-
That people must be in earnest, who, we have
been assured, are too much eXasperated to
make idle threats" and who "will pledge life,
honor and fortune in the cause, with full de-
termination to redeem their pledges, at any and
every hazard" An awful responsibility rests
with those who have brought this crisis upon us;
it is with them either to hasten OF avert the threat
ened mischief, and we earnestly hope, that they
will Weld up the impulses of party to the nobler
ones of patriotism and in spirit OF wisdom,
moderation and magnanimity, restore the har-
mony and preserve the peace of the State, by an
early repeal of the obnoxious measure.

AduterGted Viaes.-A writer in the Troy
Press says" Our wines, for the most, are vile
concoctions of sour cider unsaleable molaSSes,
logwood, acetate of lead, alchohol, &c. Such
stuff as this is far more deeterious to the system
than brandy or Santa Cruz rum. | offer to the
public the following test of wine:-Take about a
gill of.any wine you wish to test, and pour in it
a small quantity of sulphnric or nitric acid. II
the wine is, pure it will remain, in most cases,
unchanged in appearance; if adulterated or spu-
rious, a slight effervescence will ensue, and a
sediment.ofa muddy color will be deposited"
The writer adds that Large quantities OF
imitation Port and Malaga wines are made in
the city of New York, and palmed off upon the
public as genuine"--a matter now so generally
understood as to require no additional EXPOSE
ton. Our readers will recollect an address to
the public on this point, lately put forth at Aba
nv by Messrs. Van Rensselaer,, Spencer Su-
therland, Hawley, King and others OF the high
est standing in that State, the object OF which Is
to induce legislative action. These gentlemen
rightly remark, that were the same enormous
and dangerous impostions practised on the pub
lie, by the potash or flour makers as by the
wine makers, the community would rise as one
man, to defend themselves, and to punish the
aggreSsors.
Indeed, we doubt if the abuses at home, on
this score yield at all to those abroad, and these
are beyond belief The learned Professor Beck
man says in his History of Inventions, that " no
ad9lteration Of any article has eper been invent
ed, so pelaiciouS to the health, and at the same
time so mach practiced, that Of aoine Nth pre-
pdrations Of lead" The Wurtemburgh dealers
went so far, at one time, with their litharge sui
phur and bismuth, that the government actually
made such adulteration capital ofence-as it
ought to be made anywhere-and one man, at
least, was beheaded under this defensive regu-
ation, before the evil could be cured. Why
should government protect life from one ag-
erosion and not from another?-why from poi
soning with unmixed drugs and not from dis
guised? Does antiquity justify this species OF
assassination? If so, tits, indeed, likely flourish
in immortal youth. 1t will be preserved in
spirits" at least.-Boston Journal.

THE FRENCH TRE.qT,Y

Nothing can illustrate more strkngIy the illibe-
raj, uncandd, and vindctive spirit which nnimatcs
The opposition 10 the present Administration, than
the course pursued by it on the subject of the
French Treaty. When this Treaty was concluded
vi 1884, 1t was received by the country with unyer-
sal satisfaction and applause. The Claimants with
full knowledge of their rights and the injuries they
had sustained were not merely content, but elated
at the measure of indemnify which, the spirited and
perseyerng exertIons of the Administration and its
Minister had secured for them. Most of them in
deed, had abandoned in despair the idea Of any in
identification the salencss Of their claims over
which five revolutions in Frnnce had already pass
ed, and the fnlure of four successive missions to
achieve the smallest advance toward their settle
ment, gave them but too much for such de-
spar. Under these circumstances, mn arrangements
securing for them solid indemnify could not but
be hailed, as II WIS, with Joy aud appropriations Such
was the feeling II inspired, that even the rancour Of
party spirit was, for time, dsarnied and accorded
reluctant applause. The Treaty was submittcd
as the Constitution requires, 10 the Senate for rati-
ficaiion and, after thorough examination, was
unanimously approved by that body q time when
n bold aud bitter opposition had already manifested
itself there to tho Administration and It's acts.
But noo since special motives have arisen for de-
crying not only the Administration, hat the indyi-
dual employed by it the agent in this transaction
the Treaty which hailed with applause by the
voice OF the country, aud sanctioned 10y the unani-
nous approval Of its constitutional and responsible
Judges IS pronounced to be, not merely without me-
nation Nor is this all. The Administration is not
only condemned for its own net in negotiating the
Treaty, but, by singular inversion of JUSTICE is vi
sted with the blame which properly attaches to the
conduct of foreign power for failing tn comply
with its engagements .SucIl is tic evil character
of the times which fallen, and such the
injustice and Inconsistency into which grave states
men can he betrayed by the VIOLENCE aud reckless
ness of party spirit.
These reflections are suggested by tire remarks
of the Hon Mr. Sprague, of Maine, in the Senate o.
the U. >. on the 7tb Instant II will be seen that
that gentleman, though he was member of the bo-
ny which two years ngo unanimously approved this
Treaty, now finds il convenient and suiaile 10 de-
