MINERAL WATER by the circulation Of spu-
rious article purpoing 70 be his he is therefore I'M
der the necessity Of publishing the following certif
Gates and respectfully calls the attention Of the Fa
cu'ty and Public to the subject.

Eisvsnth. That independent of this right to pro-
lection Of commerce among the States" the right
of common defence" guaranteed by the Consti-
tution entities those citizens nhabiting the
try bordering upon the interior lakes and rivers,
to such safe and convenient harbors as may afford
| shelter to navy, whenever il shall DO rendered
necessary by hostilities with our neighbors, and
that the construction Of such harbors cannot safe
ly be delayed to the time which will demand its
immediate use. 4.
ToeBh That the argument most commonly
urged against appropriations to protect " com
merce among the States" and to defend the inha-
btants Of the frontiers, that they invite sectional
combinations, to insure success to many unworthy
objects, is founded on practical distrust of the
Republican principles Of our Government, and Of
the capacity Of the people to select competent and
honest representatives. That il may be urged with
equal force against legislation upon any other SUBJ
ject, involving various and extensive interests
That just appreciation Of the rights and interests
of all our felowcitizens, in every quarter Of the
Union, disclaiming selfish and local purposes, will
lead intelligent representatives to such distrbu-
ton of the means in the Treasury, upon system
Of moderation and ultimate equality, as will in
time meet the most urgent wants Of all, and pre-
vent those jealousies and suspicious which threat
en- the most serious danger to our confederacy.
Ihirteenth. That we are utterly incapable Of
percciving the difference between harbor for
shelter and harbor for commerce, and suppose
that a mole or pier which will afford safe anchor
age and protection to vessel against storm,
must necessarily improve such harbor, and adapt
it to commercial purposes.
Fourteenth. That the imposts on foreign goods
and the public lands being the common heritage
Of all our citizens, so long these resources con
tinue, the imposition Of any special burden on any
portion Of the people, to obtain The means Of ac-
complishng objects equally within the duty and the
competency Of the General Government, would be
unjust and oppressive. sts 8FE4
Fifteenth That we disavow all and every at
tempt to connect the cause of internal trade and
commerce among the States" with the fortunes
Of any political party; but that we mean to place
that cause upon such immutable principles Of truth
justice and constitutional duty, as shall command
the respect Of all parties and the Difference Of all
candidates for public favor.

have examined the several specimens submitted,
and find follows: The water in the ,Ohite glass
bottles is free from all impurities; that in the green
bottles contains sensible quantity Of sulphurc acid,
which is evident to the smell and taste well as 70
the proper chemical tests. From recent inspcc-
ton of your process was led to the conviction that
the only impurities which could possibly gain access
to the water were lead and suIphuric acid. Of lead
find no traces whatever in any Of the bottles the
amount Of suphurc acid present in the green bottles
though small is objectionable, and must I've regarded
as an mpurity, the Mineral Water processes to be
free from all such admixtures. therefore certify
that the Mineral Water contained in the white bot.
