CHEAT AND GROW RICH.

THIS has been the the secret principle Of too ma
i ny OF the wholesale dealers in Teas up to this
time, and they have practised the most shameful inn
position on the Country Merchant without any fear
Of detection. But new era in the Tea 7 rade has
come and the Pekin Tea Company claims the honor
of its introduction They were the first to raise the
banner Of Reform on which it has inscribed the sim
pie Words
ssPURE TEAS AT HONEST PRICES"
A complete revolution has been the consequence.
Let consumers Of Tea everywhere look at what we
have done.
LIST. We were the first to send them Teas that
used 10 be called too good for them before.
3D. We have driven out the market vast amount
of trash and introduced better class Of Teas than
has ever yet been sold. Importers Of Tea often come
to US to get for their use and for their friends
fine qualities they can find nowhere else.
3D. We have reduced prices more than rs per
cent, both in Black and Green Teas. The whole
sale grocers say we are running the trade and call
US humbugs. This we have dome already, and now
see what we are ready to do.
LIST. We will sell Teas by the single chest, half
chest or ia pound box at the same prices that whole
sale grocers pay to the importers when they buy by
the hundred pachages
Cd. The wholesale groceis allow only Is or at
most ID pounds tafe to the half chest This is
Cuedt We uioW, III most iusthuCes, ~ dhu ~ ios
tare on the same.
Sd. We hereby undertake to sell every kind Of
Tea, from from sir to f,0eive cents per pound chea
per than the wholesale gocers do.
How can we d. this 4 asks the country merchant
This is our answer. We are content with seven
per cent profit instead Of 25 and so per cent, IN
wholesale grocer
We deserve the thanks OF the country merchants
for saving them hereafter from being cheated. Let
them come to the Warehouse of he Pekin Tea Com
pany, and compare samples Of Tea they get else
where; and if they buy bad Teas then at high prices
il is their own fault.
An Engi.h importer lately boosted to US that he
could make more money by nding bad Teas TO the
New York market, than on g,,od Teas. We are
resolved to overthrow this fraud and now call upon
agents in every town in the United States to come
forward and buy Teas imported by the Pekin Tea
Company and we pledge ourselves, that if in six
months ttey do not sell more Tea than the oldest
and agest dealers In the town, we will give them
our Tea without charge. This is plain English and
canno, be misunderstood. We appeal testimony to
The immense success Of our Agents in any part Of
the United States.
TFAgents wanted In every town IN the United
States for the sale Of these Teas by which they
make money, and confer benefit upon the Public
nv su pl, ing the pure article.

Hang on the bitter words-that stern reply

Our Brasilian Relations. The New York
Journal Of Commerce says that Mr.. Buchanan
has sent out TO Mr. Todd new instructions, by
which he will be enabled to pacify the Empe-
ror and restore the amicable relations between
the United States and Brazil SO unfortunately
broken BY that hotspur, Wise. Il appears, from,
the same paper. that some Of the members Of

there was war-party in the Presidents coun-
ellis on this question.

A WAY TO GET PEAcE.-The ST. Louis Re-

with an army by which peace could be esiab
shed in ten days. If that officer were with
Scott and he held the same opinion as here
expressed. his views would have the merit Of
sincerity about them-f nothing else! 0

HEApaUARTERs LIBERATiNa Army, .
Orizaba, April %, iS47. s
ITO His Ercsllency:
SENIOR DON JAMES X Polk,
President Of tie United States Of the North !:
Il is with feeling of unfeigned regret, that
the Commander in Chief Of the Lberating
Army, has TO inform your Excellency that the
unfortunate failure Of our expedition al Buena
Vista, has been productive Of much alarm and
great disquietude, which has been by no mea
sure removed by The late occurrence at Cerro
Gordo. The Commander in Chief cannot for
moment entertain the suspicion that these
unfortunate expeditions have failed through
any instrumentalty Of the President Of the
North. He has had loo much experience in
the insnbordination of .'subalterns," when not
in the immediate presence of their Commander
to indulge such sentiment. Having regard
for the faith of the President OF the North, he
most respectfully asks permission to suggest
thai some Misrepresentation has existed, as TO
the views and feelings of that portion Of the
citizens Of the North called Whigs, !" and thai
through the amoral treason" of these men in
making false professions OF friendship TO Mex
co, both the Commander in Chief and the
President of the North have been deceived
These men are not the friends Of Mexico, but
her enemies. The COMMANDMENT Chief, there.
fore, in order 10 preserve the faith Of the high
contracting parties, would most urgently i'm
press upon your excellency the improperly Of
sending Generals and 'voluntarios" from that
portion Of your people called Wings, and he
cannot too strongly direct the attention of your
Excellency 10 the imperious necessity Of the
immediate recall Of Major General Don Zach-
airy Taylor, he having in disobedience to your
Excellency's orders and in contravenlion Of
your Excellency's sincere desire, boldly pro
claimed that che will never surrender" His
longer continuance in active operations must
be considered as breach Of faith on the part
Of the President Of the North.
With high regard, and distinguished consid.
eralion. God and Liberty.
