POISONOUS WINES.

Wine as moeksr strong drink IS yaging--'oo
unto The man ,cho is deceired Mereby"-BlBLE.
The following paragraph, from the Philadelphia
North American, is worthy Of the attention OF wine
drinkers:
An officer in our Navy, writing from Madeira
June 5, 1885, says" There are about thirty thou
sand pipes of wine produced here annually, and Of
that not more than len thousand pipes are ever sent
to the United States and is no less than strange
that at least fifty thousand pipes are annually served
up at the United States hotels, under the name Of
Madeira" The extent to which wines are manu-
featured is astonishing The question whether ar
dent spirit is poison has been often discussed, (and
very unprohtably } but if sugar of lead arsenic, &C.
are posons, il will not be difficult to setle The ques.
ton respecting our wines. 1t is well asceriained
that the most deleterious drugs are often used in
making imitation wines. Indeed, an alarm should
be publicly sounded respecting this source Of danger
aside from the general alarm respecting the dangers
of alcohol. Imitation wines combine the two evils
poisonous drugs and alcohol.

Mr.. BELL AND JUDGE WHITE.

On his way to Washington, the Hon. john
BELL, the Wing member from Gen Jackson's
district, was handsomely entertained at Knox
vile, and Judge WHITE and other distinguish
ed gentlemen were also invited. Mr. Bells
speech is described by the Knoxville Times
as one Of unusual ability. ".Some Of his IL
lustraiions of Loco-focoism were novel and
remarkably felicitous, and so severely true as
10 goad to the quick a few Of "the party
who had strolled into the room from motives
Of curiosity"
Judge White was next toasted, and his re-
ply 1.-THE Times says) was one Of his happiest
efforts. He referred to his past public life,
aud eloquenily exclaimed, that snow, when
the violence Of party prescription threatened
to drive him from the official station which he
had SO long retained in the service of the
State, his proudest satisfaction was, that he
was able to return the high trust confded to
his care back to the people, without single
spat or STAIN upon IT,"

Of certificate. Mr.. Ingersoll has the cerlifi-
cate OF one half the return judges and the
proclamation Of Gov. Porter--Mr. Douglass,
Of Illinois, who contests the seat Of Mr. Stew
art has, we are informed, been proclaimed
elected by Gov. Carlin, and the Van Buren,
candidates in New Jersey have, it is said, OBJ
tanned certificates Of the county clerks. Thus
they have contriyed 10 get some color OF ex-
cuse for an " unblushing push" at the outset
to prevent their antagonists from taking the
seats to which their certificates give them
prima faeie title, and to which by the usage
Of parliament, they are entitled until, they
being put upon trial, their cases are settled.
But we do not apprehend any serious difiicnl-
/ ~. Even permitting five Wings from New
Jersey to be thrown out, and throw out one
from Illinois, and suppose that the MISSISSIPPI
! pi members will not arrive in time, there will
still be an Anii-Sub-neasury majority Of TWO,
surprising Wing to be sent from the Frank
| lin District of Massachusetts in time, and the
rest TO be present.
IL the rule which the loco-focos intend to
set up, be allowed to work both ways, Mr..
Lucas, (V. b. ofthe Winchester District, Va.
Of course will not take the seat contested by
Mr.. Barton, who will enter upon the contest
with fairer prospects Of success than Mr.. In
gersol. Indeed, to meet the loco-focos with
their own weapons, Mr.. Barton should have
! certificate as well as Mr.. Lucas, and Gov.
Campbell should back him, after the manner
Of Governors Porter and Carlin, with his
proclamation.
Considering oil these circumstances, and
the fact that the organization Of the House
may be lost by the absence Of one opposition
vote, the Wings and the Wing press should
see the necessity Of pressing every man to
be punctually at his post
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1839-11-20

The election in Mississippi closed on the
9Th instant, but no returns had been received
at New Orleans on the 9th. The mails in the
South are painfully sluggish.
The n. 0. Bulletin says ;-"The Wings
are very sanguine of favorable result The
people Of Mississippi have suffered enough
from the tampering Of the Administration with
the currency to enkindle among them an aver
sion to the party that upholds its measures.
The popularity and eloquence Of Prcnliss,
too, will not be without its weight. He has
traversed the whole of the State, and enlight-
ened the mass Of the people with respect to
the impositions aud vile abuses long and TOO
successfully practised upon them by crafty
and profigate political faction

The work of de Tocqueville is full Of sensible
and important remarks. Describing the effects OF
an approaching Presidential election, he says
The President is then absorbed by the OF self
the state, but that Of his reelection He does ho-
mage TO the majority, and instead of checking It's
passions as his duty commands him to do, he fire..
quently courts its worst caprces." General jack
son perceived this effect serious and injurious in
its nature, and made an effort TO procure amend
ment of the constitution, by which nc President
should be elected Tor more than one term. This
would have been change greatly conducive to the
public good, but the tederasis or wings, who are
always opposed to any thing that is for the public
good, combined against it, and prevented its being
| carried int effect-Boaon Post.
The Post then agrees that it would have
been "greatly conducive to the public good"
that, " no President should be elected for
more than one term" And yet this Post
with that js,cehfsrous consistency which so
eminently characterizes the Loco-foco fede-
ralists has been and is still conspiring with its
confederates against the "public good" by
striving to re.elect Martin Van Buren, for
second term, before he has even done thing
in his first, except to cause two general bank
suspensions and numberless grievances, pa
MICS, dstrcsses, frauds, and sundry other evil
results of mal-administration. Indeed, from
the very moment that Van Buren's election
was ascertained, he and his men set about
shaping all and every Of his and their move
ments to secure second election directly and
conlessedly initiating thereby against the
''public good"
o tempora! o mores "The President is
absorbed by the cares OF self defence. He no
longer governs for the interest Of the State,
but that Of his recollection. He does homage
to the majority, and instead Of checking its
passions as his duty commands him to do,
he courts its 'corst caprices" Verify, de
Tocqueville thou didst hit the nail on the head
to a certainty.

ty of the City of New York: Harper & Brothers.
This volume is one Of the series OF useful works
which the Harpers have been issuing under the style
of the School District Library" II is unpretend-
ing, but nevertheless, comprehensive, and well ar
ranged and adapted for the purposes Of elementary
instruction In the interesting and useful subjects of
which it treats. Small as it is, no one work,
we presume, has been published comprising so
much information respecting American Geology
In the preparation Of it, Dr. Lee has shown much
ingenuity, and a conmendable spirit OF industrious
research; for he has dgested and adapted for popu-
laruse much of,he cream Of some sixty works on Ge-
ology. The mater is stripped Of much ,echnicay,
and illustrated BY wood cuts.

Speaking OF the approaching session Of

The first subject Of embarrassment and hea, will
be the choice of Senator. From the present atti-
tude OF parties, nothing can be done without a sur

VIRGINIA.

We are satisfied that it is a harmless COM
plimenl for the Loco-focos to nominate Mr..
Retreating Conservative Richie for the Gu
bernatorial chair Of Virginia, or any other
notorious Loco.foco federalist. There is no
danger that any such unworthy sort of politi-
clan can be elected to any Office by the Le-
gislature, provided the Wings and Conserva-
tives are true to the Opposition. We take it
therefore to be The modestest thing in Mr..
Richie to decline picking grapes far beyond
his reach.
1t will be an anomalous thing indeed, if,
with clear and handsome majority of Wings
and Conservatives any candidate of the mi.
nority should treacherously be permitted to be
elected.
According to the Richmond Wing the fol-
lowing will be the strength Of parties on joint
vote.
