CANTON TEA COMPANY.


THE OLDEST TEA ESTABLISHMENT IN
AMERICA!
PRINCIPAL ESTABLISHMENT In
NEW YORK.
HyHEt CANTON TEA COMPANY has been
u popularity known for many years. This is the
largest and Oldest Tea Establishment in America.-
The public have had full proof of their integrity and
responsibility. But such has been the great and
pressing demand for their TEAS Of late, that they
have been obliged to enlarge, to great extent tneir
two principal establishments in New York, viz:
l25 CHATHAM AND 1853 GREENWICH
STREETS.
They moreover possess facilities in relation to the
Tea Trade, in a very abundant degree, and doubt
less superior to any other Tea Concern in America.
Their scrupuous regard to all principles that tend
to elevate the character Of large house, is well
derslood, and has already secured them connec-
ton, probably, larger than all other Tea Establish
ments united, and they consequently are determined
TO sell Teas purer, more fragrant, and perfect tW
the prices, in the aggregate than any house in the
worti-Chna excepted.
They most zealuusy invite the attention Of the in
habitants of WASHINGTON, ID. O., To their
Agency where the following assortments are always
on hand; and they feel no hesitation in stating that
wherever single trial is made, very decided pre-
ference is given the celebrated Teas of the CAN
TON TEA COMPANY.

The Patriarchal Institution.

Northern men, when they once overcome
the principles in which they were educated,
as to undertake to defeat or Justify slavery,
are not generally mealy mouihed about it,
but Ego the whole figure at once" A cor
respondent Of the Boston Post, who is trav-
cling at the South, writes a letter from Char
lotte, N. c., containing the following rare
specimen Of democracy, which is published
in the Post, without a word of dissent.
81 do not think that blacks in any portion
of the United States should be entitled 10 tie
privileges Of citizenship; but | will contend
that Massachusetts, as a State, has just as
much right 10 make citizens Of them as South
Carolina has to keep them as slaves. They
both have a most undoubted right to do so,
and ] am not disposed to deny it to either.
l think there was a little lack Of courtesy
from South Carolina towards her northern
sister respecting her agent but hope all the
southern states will continue TO serve north
ern abolitionists as they did Fairbanks and
Torrey; when they find them in the same or
a like business.
II will be my highest pleasure when / go
north, TO defend southern Institutions, both pri-
vately and publicly /; and to speak with pride
Of the good feeling existing in the Sonth to-
wards the North and the northern citizens in
general.
The northern man who abuses and vilifes
sou:herners and southern institutions, and
particularly the institution Of SLapery, unless
he has lived in southern States, and conse-
quently has some knowledge of the subject
he is discussing, is a sLanderer and a villain,
and his opinion is worthy of no more atten-
tion than would be a Chinese treatise on the
manners and customs Of the Esquimaux In
Edisns."
If the Post and its correspondent intend to
characterize all who condemn "the institu.
ton of slavery" as "slanderers and villains
they will probably have their hands full Of
business. We do not see what difference it
makes, whether those who condemn it have
'lived in the Southern States" or not. If a
fundamental principle of right and justice is
violated, personal observation of the extent
of the evil created thereby, can never change
or modify the principle, and is therefore not
required to enable us to Judge of its violation.
And it appears to us that the assumption, that
those who have not resided at the South can
have no knowledge upon the subject is rath.
er a violent one. At the risk, therefore, OF
being denounced as a "slanderer and a vii
lain," we shall continue to condemn the sin
s%titution of slavery" in all its forms and in
every place, and shall do what little lies in
our power to prevent its further extension
If the Post is disposed to take opposite
ground, we trust it will find very few, ever
of its own party in the free States, to uphold
it in such a course.-Mdss. Spy.

think you must that be, reader, that can find
"many" representatives among such IA set Of

'lf Capt. Bragg gave little more grape
and turned the victory, why may not the
sons Of peace and righteousness follow up
that victory !"-continues this jealous propo-
gandist. Note with what GOODNESS he quotes
the fash language of the camp, and how
complacently he seems to regard the bloody
victories which he wishes his brethren TO
"follow up" Yet this is one Of the ''Sons
