The Philadelphia Bulletin laments the increase OF
OF brandy annually consumed there since ls4S treble
the quantity consumed before that year. From table
OF the quantity and cost OF distilled spirits imported into
the district of Philadelphia during the years 1874 1e45
1896 lsi7 ls4S S49 and the first quarters Of 1885,
it appears that the aggregate quantity of the first and
second quarters of 1850 exceeds the quantity
of the entire years 1914, ls45, and 1916. Of brandy
hall of 1885, no less than 43s 1874 galons while the i'm
portaton Of the article for the entire year of l84
was but l64 ,5l4 gallons. These statistics have been
in affected by other causes, but the great
reason for their augmen ation doubtless the increased
demand tor sprtuous liquors. 1t is melancholy fact
and calls for renewed from all the friends OF

THE SMITHS DETHRoNEp.--From paragraph
in the Household Words, we learn that the books
of the Register Office in England disclose the fall
lacy of that time honored beliefwh has so long
given to the family of Smiths the honor of numer-
ical superiority over all other families. The
Smiths must hide their diminished heads The
Jones's will hereafter occupy the throne. The
registry of births, marriages and deaths in England
and Wales, for the year ending June 30th, 1888,
637 Smiths. The next name of most frequent
occurrence is Williams, TAB; then comes Taylor,
GAO; Davies, $3.50; Brown, $685., Thomas,
5278, &c &c. 1t may be that the Smiths have
initiated the house of Braganza, and transferred
their sceptre to the new world,

after his departure Miss Thomas made the horrible dis

with his lucid exposition ofthe law, served to mollify
Miss Ann, and she returned in better humour than
when she left home. Upon entering her parour how
she discovered Miburn again sitting on the Sofa
reinforced by two stiff drinks and boon com

Now, there is point beyond which human forbear-

NfoRr OF THE FUGITIVE SLAVE CAsB-Hen-
~ Long and The 45olntonistS.-The New York
correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, in re-
ferriug to the decision by which Henry Long,
the fugitive slave, was sent back to Virginia,
says:
The abolitionists are anxious to start sub
scription to purchase him, but MIR. Parker is not
authorised to entertain the proposition. Besides,
he says that the moral effect of bringing the slave
back to Virginia will be very great-that it will
prevent other slaves from attempting 10 escape
Whereas if Longs freedom were purchased hero,
it would encourage them TO run OFT i'll squads.
under the impression that when they were re-
manded back under the Fugitive Slave Bill, that
the people of New York would make them free.
Now that the case is disposed of, | feel at iber-
ty to say what heard concerning it, from Henry
Long himself On the very day OF his arrest he
told me that he was a fugitive slave. and that he
belonged to the gentleman who claimed him.
This conflicts with afidavits which were drawn
up for him to swear to. After the decision OF the
Judge, to-day, he made the same admission; and in
answer to my inquiry, ifhe was sorry that 1t was
not in his favor he said he did not care much one
way or the other; that he would as go as not;
that the decision was perfectly correct; that he
never intended to controverthis owners claim to
him. and that all the proceedings were instituted
by the abolitionists without his advice. l am
responsible for the veraciy of this conversation.

We trust that the friends of the Union in the
States of New England, who are ofcourse, be-
ing such, in favor above all human agencies, of
the Supremacy of the Laws, will not weary in
well doing, but use every effort within their power
TO diffuse and make efficient a constitutional and
law abiding spirit within their respective States
They must do so, indeed, unless they would incur
for their several States the odium ever attaching
to notification, quite as hdeous when it puts forth
its mpostor pretensIons in the North as when it
has done the same in the South. The Laws of
the United States, madein conformity to the Con-
stituton, and the decisions of the Courts appoin-
ted to execute them, must be sustained, or this
great paterna Government which no force, inter-
nal or external, can overcome, will fall 10 pieces
from mereimbecihty. We are glad to find in the
Vermont papers such tokens as the following, that
a sound moral sense continues to actuate many
of the most respectable presses of that State -
Nat. Int
From the Vermont Union Wing.
The Bennington State Banner uses the sub
joined expressions respecting the Vermont Fugi-
tive Law: 1t is to be regretted that our newspa-
pers cannot unanimously join in thus making such
amends to the country as are now in the power
Of the State, and much more, that any are found
so infatuated as to attempt to sustain the late Le-
gslature in a position manifesty untenabe for a
moment, and (which, whatever they may now
think, they will presently be compelled to feel
ashamed of:
at is very pleasant dose for man. or set of
men 10 eat their own words, yet think were the
Legislature OF this State convened at Montpelier
upon reflection, the act in relation to he writ OF ha
beas corpus persons claimed fugitive slaves would
be stricken from our statute book. As understand
the hastily prepared and acted upon by the Leg
slature on eve of the session, and became law,
it might be said, upon the impulse OF the moment"
The Woodstock (Vt) Mercury, in place of
"going it blind" as we are mortified to see that
some do for any blunder, however fatal, into which
our incautions or timorous Legislators may have
been betrayed, holds the following language in re-
ference to the Vermont Fugitive Act:
"We are however quite well assured that the enact
men OF our Legislature s grief to our delegation in
Congress We know that others think it fair offset
the late law OF Congress the subject of fugitive
slaves But, as neither lawyer jurst, we
leave the discussion ohe subject to those who are versed

ton provocation, to increase the growing sectional
difficulties of our country. With all the threats of dis
union at the South there in that section neverthe
less, great many valuable and able men--we have no
doubt INDEPENDENTLY attached to the Union
Our aim should be to heal anlmosities rather than
kindle them. We regard the brayado and buster OF
Southern and Northern fanatics equally mschievous,
and desire both trowned down by the sober and
rational part OF the community
