TOWNSEND'S SARSPARILLA.

THE ORIGINAL DIscoyERER OF THE GENUINE
TOWNSEND'S SARSPARIILA.
THERE ARE A CLASS OF SPECTATORS
/ who being both ignorant and unprinciplcd,
seize upon anything by which they can delude
the public and fill their own pockets. The
great Sarsaparilla root as cure for all forms
of diseases, has induced many of these men to
TO attempt to palm off some compound which
then label as an extract of the pure Honduras
Sarsaparilla The country has been flooded
with these compounds, and many have been in
duced to purchase them, but the only result has
been cruel disappointment. A thin, washv
mess of stuff, cooked up without any regard to
the effect upon the patient, can but bring down
upon the manufacturers the condemnation of a
deceived public.
One Of these Humbugs,
Which has had more extensive sale than most.
has just Exploded. We refer to that notorious
sour fermenting compound of s. p. Townsend's,
He has been compelled 10 quit the business, and his
article is now thrown into the market at apv
price to get rid of it.
If any desires proof Of this we only ask them
to step into any wholesale drug store and en-
quire for 5. p Townsend's Sarsaparilla. The
day for creating a reputation for medicine by
newspaper putting and forged certificates Is
passed, and it is only those of real ,rorta which
can stand the test of time.

Gen. Scott and Fana q Ism.

The Philadelphia Sun, now doing good service
to the Fillmore interest, says:
"We do not doubt Gen. SCOTS fidelity, but we
want the influence of his name and position to
put down fanaticism and crush the vipers that
have knotted in the dens of disunion and aboli-
ton, poisoning the air and threatening the peace
Of the country"
As the Sun exists, and has lived from it's birth,
some eight years ago, upon an ism, and that by
no means of practical application to the politics
of the times, we think its suggestion of fanati-
cism is little queer. Third-party men are not
they from whom lectures this subject are usu-
ally expected to proceed. The Sun is a clever,
good tempered Journal but somehow unusually
jealous just now in the Wing cause. We should
like its editor to inform whether it is his in
tention TO stand By the nominee cfthe Wing National
Convention? We will reply to the same question.

r- The New York Morning Star is very i,

re- The New York Morning Star is very in
genious, philosophic, and eloquent in its review
of the military career Of General Scott, and makes
US greatly regret that the editor had not been
placed in command of the American army of inya-
sion in Mexico, or that General Scott ever entered
upon that command without the advice and gui-
dance of so enlightened parsonage. He sees
nothing in the conduct Of the General on that oc-
cason but the evidences Of his "folly, Of his
being bamboozled," and all that We marvel
that the Star editor will talk so, while Gen.
eral Pillow is in the East, for il must be remem-
bered that that distinguished gentleman planned
and executed those enterprises for which the skill
Of General Scott was found inadequate. The
criticism Of the Star, therefore, does not merely
affect General Scott, but involves General Pillow
in its scope; and this, we are sure, is q more
serious matter than was intended by the editor
Of the military department of that erudite and
candid paper.

The sailor legislator, Commodore STOCKTON,
addressed the Senate to-day on the resolution OF
Senator Gwin, relative to the construction Of
floating steam battery, for the defence OF the
harbor of New York.
He commenced by saying that he felt a deep
interest in whatever teuded to the defence of
New York, and the prosperity Of that great COM
mercial metropolis. Before he launched into the
merits of the question, he would call for the
reading of report from the Naval Committee,
which he said would show that citizen of New
Jersey had been unjustly treated, by not the pres
ent head of the Navy Department, but by his re-
markable predecessor The report was read. The
gentleman alluded to is Mr. Stevens, of New
Jersey, whom the Commodore lauded as patriot,
an accomplished engineer and naval architect.
proposition made by Mr.. Stevens to build a
ship for the defence of the harbor of New York
was rejected by Secretary Preston.
Com S. then dwelt upon the condition of our
inefficient navy. He declared that the navy of
the United States was less formidable now, con-
sdering the increase of vessels and guns in other
| countries, than it was forty years ago. After
giving the number of steam ships in the English
and French navies, he stated that the steam ves-
sells of our navy, all told were five worthless ships
and two screw propellers, and then said with
emphasis, "We had better prepare for war be-
fore we bully"
The Commodore eloquently descanted upon the
necessity of building up navy to be propelled
by steam, and the iron and coal of his beloved
State, and her sister, Pennsylvania must be cher
ished and protected. He trusted his Democracy
would not be questioned when he united with the
immortal Jackson in urging that the national leg
'islature should discriminate in favor of American
industry.
The resolutions of 98 and '99 he declared to
be the most valuable legacy bequeathed by the
fathers Of Democracy to their descendants. Mr.
Richie was present and seemed delightful when
this was said. The Senator said that he hoisted
his banner some time since; upon one side was
inscribed: "Slavery is no sin" and on the other
side 'tThe Wilmot Provso-it' is unconstitu-
tionalt1
The galleries of the Senate presented an array
of beauty and fashion, and the honorable Senator
was listened to by both Senators and auditors
with marked interest.

Communicated
The Municipal Election

MEssRs. EDIToRs: The extract from a letter
of correspondent of the Philadelphia Penn
sylvanian," copied into your paper of yesterday,
| ask the favor to reply to briefly.
Speaking of the Democracy of this city, and
Of the municipal election in June next, the COR
respondent says:
"They have already made a nomination for
Mayor, Mr. John w. Maury, being the Demo-
cratic candidate. In the Fifth Ward, John Null
10y, ESQ.,, and in the Third Ward, COL Barrett,
are the Democratic candidates for the Board of
Common Council John McNeal Latham, nephew
of the distinguished banker of the firm of Messrs.
Selden Co., is the Democratic candidate for the
Board of Aldermen in the third. Nominations
will be made in all the wards for both branches
of the Council We expect that majority of
the members of the next Council will be Demo-
Gratis"
Now, sirs, claiming to know something about
the action of the Democratic party here, hest
tate not to pronounce the statement quoted false
in gross and false in detail. The author, whoever
he is, knew when he penned the lines that he was
penning a falsehood; he kneW that the Democracy
Of this city had made NO NOMINATION for Mayor,
or for any other Office; he knew that they had
not nominated Mr.. Maury as the Democratic can
didate; and he knew that Mr. Maury was as
much Wing as a Democratic candidate. He
knew that Mr.. Maury, in reply to the letter nom
mating him for that Office, Ia letter signed by
upwards of seventy Of our most respectable citi-
zens, withom distinction Of party-indeed, sixty Of
whom were among our most jealous and distin-
guished Whigs) expressly speaks of the inexpe-
diency of bringing national politics into our city
elections and yet he deliberately charges the
Democracy of this city with having nominated
Mr.. Maury for Mayor, and other gentlemen named
for other positions, as regular Democratic candi
dates!
| have said thus much in vindcation Of the
Democratic party of this city Mr.. Maury is
candidate for Mayor upon his ocn merits-his
merits as gentleman fully acquainted with the
interests of this city, as good citizen, and an
honest man. Such | understand to be the posi-
ton of nearly all the other candidates named
