Adulteration Of Liquors.

The Ohioians have passed in their Legsla-
ture very good law to prevent the adultera-
ton of liquors. We want in this state, where
it is notorious great deal Of bad liquor finds
a market, something passed containing the
same provisions. The following is synopsis
of the Ohio law =
1st. The act provides that the Probate Judge
shall appoint competent chemist for the coun-
ty, whose duty it shall be to inspect and ana
lyze all liquors offered for sale, at wholesale
or retail, and pronounce upon their purity or
adulteration.
I'd. That no liquor shall be sold unless it
has been inspected and pronounced unadulter-
ated, by the County Chemist, whose seal is
the evidence of inspection or the ingredients
and properties used to make adulterated liq-
uors must be exposed by the inspector, so as
to prevent fraud and imposition on the consul
mer.
Sd. Any liquors offered for sale which are
not inspected, the owner is to be rendered liza
bic to a fine and Imprisonment.
4th. If adulterated liquor is placed in YES
sci which bears the inspectors seal, having
once contained pure article, the owner or
person committing the fraud is liable to fine
and Imprisonment, and the second offence is
made punishable in the State Prison.

Col. Benton on the Clergy.

The abolition editors who are to much
pleased with Col. Benton's speech on the
Nebraska bill, had better publish the following
extract from speech he made in Congress in
1880. He had his eye undoubtedly upon the
political clergymen of those days.
Christ and the Apostles appeared in prov
lnce OF the Roman empire, when that empire
was called the Roman world, and the world
was filled with slaves. Forty millions was
theestmated number, being one-fourth Of the
whole population. Single individuals held
twenty thousand slaves. A freed man, one
who had himself been slave, died the posses
sor OF four thousand-such were the numbers
The right of the owners over this multitude Of
human beings was that of life and death, with
out protection from law, or mitigation from
public sentiment.
Christ saw all this-the number of the slaves,
their helpless condition, and their white color,
which was the same with his own; yet he said
nothing against slavery; he preached no doc
trine which led TO insurrecti0n and massacre /:
none which in It's application to the state of
things IN our country would authorize an in
ferlor race Of blacks TO extermlnate that supe-
rior race of whites in whose ranks he himself
appeared upon earth. He preached no such
doctrines, but those of contrary tenor, which
ncucated the duty of fidelity and obedience on
the part OF the slave-humanity and kindness
on the part of the master. His Apostles did
the same. 81. Paul sent back runaway slave,
Onesimus, to his owner, with letter of apollo
gy and supplication. He was not the man to
barber runaway, much less TO entce him
from his master; and least Of all TO excite an
instruction.

In Common Council, May 18th, 1854.
The committee on schools, &C., reported
that the Wyer lot $50 called) can be bought
of E. X. Harding at the same price he paid
for it, interest ana cost Of deeds added, the
whole not exceeding 1910, and recommend
ing that the lot be purchased. The report
was accepted, and the committee ordered to
make the purchase. The same committee al
SO reported that after making careful enquiries,
they had determined that the lot at the corner
of Middle and Weeks streets was more suta-
BILE for school house lot than the one pur-
chased on Marshall street, and recommending

Burning in Emgy.

The practice of burning in effigy is of feder-
al origin. Who ever heard of the democrats
burning political opponent in ef1igy! Their
principles inculcate no such mean and pagan
ceremony. The custom grows out Of the close
alliance between federalism and its offspring,
whiggery, and arbitrary or irresponsible
power. Whiggery would put democrats to
the rack and torture if it possessed the power.
Federalism begun the work in the old alien
and sedition laws, but the people put sudden
stop to it. The Newark Eagle remarks as
follows upon this subject:
What ridiculous thing this burning in
effigy is! The purest Of our public men have
been so treated, and after all, what does it
amount to Does it detract from the dignity
Of the man! Is he less thought of than before
Was not the great and good Washington burnt
in effigy! Was not jefferson! and, in latter
times, was not Old Hickory served In the same
way! A few rowdy boys, instigated by one
or two, or perhaps more, cowardly black
guards, collect together some old rags, and tie
them up in a bundle. This they label with
the name of the person they wish to stigma
tie, and then they get cord and attach it to
some tree or post, and the thing is accomplish
ed Mr.. So-and-so has been burnt in eligy
We have said that Gen. Jackson was hung
in effigy. Iron-nerved, but noble-hearted MAN,
well do we remember the welcome he once
received in New Orleans, at which city we
CHANGED to be, on the 9Th of January 1t was
his last visit to the field of his greatest militia
ry renown, and New Orleans, poured out her
citizens by thousands to meet the old hero
The wing leaders, as usual, endeavored to
dampen the ardor of the people, by saying
that his visit was for political effect, but they
had a. usual, their labor for their pains. The
Levee at which he landed was one dense mass
of eager expectants. Every eye was strained
to catch the first glance Of the gallant patriot,
and when, at last, he made his appearance on
the deck of the steamer, which had been most
beautifully arrayed for the occasion, with flags
and colors and streamers of every description,
a shout went up, that indeed rent the air.
High above the roar Of the loud-nouthed can
non rose that tremendous outburst Of popular
enthusiasm. 1t seemed to US as if it would
never end. Again and again it was renewed,
ana not until the Mayor began his welcome
speech did it entirely cease. And yet this
glorious old man was frequently during his
lie time hung in efigy! An act of folly at
all times, but most contemplate when intended
to lessen the worlds respect for the name and
fame of Andrew Jackson
