The DRUG INSPECTION LAw.-The n. York
.kurnal of Commerce; in speaking of the late
law passed by Congress in relation TO the i'm
portation of sophisticated drugs, tells the fol-
lowing story:
ga New York wholesale druggist sold re-
taller up town, some powdered cantharides
under the assurance of their being prime and
pure. few evenings afterwards, the drug
gist called at the store of the apothecary for a
blister plaster. care you certain of the good
ness of the cantharides?" asked the druggist
"Uuqnestionaby." replied the apothecary
''for you assured me so yourself" ''But," re-
turned the druggist, with some evident trepi
dalton, 'this is for my sick daughter, at the
point of DEATH"
The same paper says that only a short time
ago, scamp of chemist in Philadelphia, pu
up preparation of plaster of Paris, handsome
ly colored and small phials, which he called
acetate of Morphine. We think that Con
gress should now go step further, and pro
vide for the punishment of these domestic
frauds.

0TTbe Princeton Clarion, speaking of
Daniel Webster says:
''His personal influence may not be half so
tremendous as his Federal doctrines"
After that we must certainly set the Clarion
downas one of the bright ones. He is pref

trines, while supporting rank federalist for
the Presidency-one of the black-cockade sort
one who gloried in wearing the badge OF
that party and in abusing Mr.. Jefferson, until
he found it convenient for the sake of office to

of casting his former opinions and practices in

The HERO OF SAN JAcraro?-Th Pennsy

1HE ZERO OF OANJAcINTOi-ln PennSyl-
yanian says;
GEN. SAMUEL HoUsToN.-This gallant sol
der, the hero of the brilliant victory of San ia
clnto, and now one of the Sena tors in Congress
from the New State of Texas. has lately been
doing yeoman's service in the cause of Democ-
racy in this State.
The locofoco press throughout the country
are greatly outraged whenever they hear Of a
WING member of Congress making political
speech,and never fail to raisea great cry against
such; but here is locofoco U. s. Senator who
has been travelling for she last three or four
months, making political speeches, and ''doiag
nothing else, yet never word is said against
it BY the locofoco papers. No; on the contra
ry they pat such champions on the back, tell
them to go it, and announce that they are do
ing good service in the cause of their party
It is perfectly right for Benton, Allen, Foote,
Bagby, Houston, Douglass, and other locofo-
co members of Congress travelto all over the
country making political harrangues; but it is
morally and outrageously wrong for a Wing
member 10 accept an invitation to be present
at and address meeting of the people in favor
of their principles and their Candidate
Out on such snivelling, humbugging can't
The Louisville Courier is of opinion that
the Uaited States had better pay Houston eight
dollars day to stay out of the Senate than for
any services he can render in it, and upon
second thought we agree. He can do no harm
and in his place in the Senate he might do
great wrong TO the country. Upon the whole
we are content that he shall travel.

A GEM PAssAGE.-Ina letterwritten in 1883,
Lamartine thus beautifully and reiigiously
explains his motives for entering political
life:
.'When the Divine Judge shall summon us
to appear before our conscience at the end of
our brief journey here below, our modesty, our
weakness will not be an excuse for our mac
tion 1t will be of no avail TO reply, We were
nothing, we could do nothing. we were but as
e gram Of sand. He will say to US, placed
before you, in your day, the two scales Of a
beam, by which the destiny ola human race
was weighed: in the one was good, and in the
other was evil. You were but agran Of sand,
no doubt bat who told that that grain Of sand
would not have caused the balance to incline
on my side? You have intelligence to see, a
conscience to decide, and you should have
placedthis grainof sand in one of the 9TH

away; it has not been of any use to you or
your brethren"

TAYoR AND THE VoLUNTEERs.-Every re-

and the Locos cannot help it. Their enthusi-

Tor went to the counting house of his factors,
on Gravier street, and some volunteers who
were passing, having got an inkling he was
there, kept keeping about the building until
their numbers increased to upwards of one hun

an old Democrat Of Barry township, Schuyl-

vile celebration Of the 4th July:
"My first President was Thomas jefferson,
and my last James X. Polk. was in favor OF
the tariff of 1872. when Polk recommended the
tariff of 1916, and Dallas gave his casting vote
in favor oft. then recommended Scott or
Taylor for the next Presidency, and as soon as
old Rough and Ready gave the first blow to
the Mexicans, | told my neighbors that Scott
must give way to Taylor this time, and l feel
confident, if we live, to see Gen. Taylor in the
Presidential chair on the 4th of March next
have supported Jefferson and all the Demo-
cratic Presidents from his time down and
consider Gen. Taylor democrat of the old
