NJ pagne.-The subscribers having been ap-
pointed by Messrs Heidseck & Co. to succeed
Mr.. Charles Engler, heretofore sole agent in the
in the United States for the sale Of their Wines,
who this day retires from business. respectfully
call the attention of the public to the subjoined
card.
The Messrs. Heidsieck & Co., as set forth there
in Justly claim to be alone enabled to send TO this
country the genuine Heidsieck & Co. Champagne,
under the same name and style as originally intro
duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
ago. they being sole proprietors of all the identical
vineyards, cellars, &C., which the founders and
originators of this celebrated brand had owned
Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the
superior quality of their Wines, the reputation OF
the same among the American public being already
identified with unsurpassed excellence
We beg particularly to notice that their brand
still bears the same name OF Heidsieck q Co., in
full, by which il first became so favorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished froa other SINH
lar marks which have since appeared.

tinued the business retaining exclusive possession
of the vineyards, vaults, Sc, which the origina
partnership had enjoyed.
Our new firm are his immediate successors and

gC7-Cassius II. Clay delivered lecture
before the Library Association on Friday
evening. HIS subject was the Nebraska
bill. His arguments in opposition 10 the
bin and in favor of the Missouri Compromi e
were ably and highly interesting. = Cincin-
natl Com.
We nre warmly opposed to the Nebraska
bill, for the reason, among others, that it
proposes to reaeal the Missouri Comprom-
Use, bnt such Aho,iiioBisis es Cassius u
Clay, John p. Hale, Joshua Gidjings, &c ,
exhibit themselves in very absurd attitude,
when they fight against the bill on the
ground oiits involving apropososal to repeal
the Missouri Compromise. Such Abolition
lists as Cassius II. Clay, &c, never till now
lrea ed the Missouri Compromise with the
least respect. They never acknowledged il
as OBJ igaiory. According to that Comprom-
Use, the whule OF certain territory South Of
thirty six thirty, may come into the Union
with the institution of slavery, bat the war
cry ofthe AboltiuniSts has been for years
that slavery should never be extended over
single foot of territory within the domin-
ions of the U. s. Government. They have
always avowed their determination to set at
naught and demnlih h the Missouri Comprom-
ise regarding it as an obstacle to the carry
ing out Of their designs South of the desig-
mated parallel of latitude, but now, all of a
sudden, they rise up and denounce an at"
tempt at its repeal as the most nefarious
perfi.iy ever heard of in American history
To be sure it is pertidy, just such perfidy a:
they represent II. bnt at the same time it II
exactly such peridy as his marked tht

IMPORTANT REsoLUTIoEs OF THE CHERo-
KEE NATtoN.-The National Council Of the
Cherokee Nation lately adopted resolutions
directing the principal Chief to request the
Cherokee A gent to rid their territory Of all
emigrants who purposed wintsring there,
with their cattle, and also to promptly re-
move all white and black persons found
within the borders of the Nation, including
the military reservation at Fort Gibson. 1t
is stated that nearly, ifnot ali, the emigra-
tion Of the present year contemplate taking
the Evans route to Cal forna. This can
not be done wiihcrt passing through the
Cherokee territory. If no Compromise is
effected, the cattle route to California for
the coming season must be Eby way of the
Northern or Southern thoroughfarc. The
entrance to the Evans route for the pres
ent is closed.

The DARIEN SHIP CANAL PRoJEcT,it ap-
pears by the news brought by the Steamship
Empire City, has died in the process Of par
turiton. The exploring parties all pro
nOuncc the route entirely impracticable, and
an Aspinwall paper says:
"From review Of the survery which we
have just noticed, and from other circum-
stances, which are not ripe For publication,
we are convinced that the project Of the
route is perfect faiiure.'
Thus perishes one of the most magnif-
cent enterprises of the age-oue which
was to wed the waters of the Atlantic and
Pacific, a. abolish the perils of doubling
Cape Horn. The Aspinwal Courier, we
perceive, expresses apprehensions for the
safety of some of the parties sent out on the
surveys, who had not returned to Caledo'
MIA Bay on the 39th of January, the latest
date. Previous to the surveying parties
Captain Hollins, of the U. S. sloop of wal
Cyane, held council at Caledonia Bay
with number cf Indian chiefs, and %
taind their consent to the landing Of the ex-
ploring party. A detachment undsr Lieu
tenant Stran had explored distance of 30
miles, and on the Saith of January five of hi:
men, who left him ls miles distant, return
ed to Caledonia Bay for provisions andre
forcemcnis, with which they Immediately
returned.

The PERRY COUNTY CAsE.-We are
glad to announce that the Legislature has
done its duty fearlessly and faithfully in the
end, in the Perry co. case. By reference
to our sketch Of legislative proceedings it
will be seen that by handsome majority
they have declared against the monstrous
and unparalleled fraud perpetratcd in that
county, by sending Mr.. O'Neil home, and
admitting Mr.. Nunnemaker to his seat
The vote as returned gave O'Neil, about
1000 minority. The investigation satisfied
every body that ftom 2700 to 1000 Illegal
vsteswere cast in four townships. such
utter disregard to oaths and duty, overeap-
ediieelf. O'Niel, we regret to say, was
quite TOO much mixsd up with the affair to
escape with clean hands, He is sent home
by his political friends, aad we think it will
take some considerable time ter him to es-
cape from the odium this transaction has
fixed upon him We venture the assertion
that such giganiic fraud has never been
attemptedin the United States. Mr Case
very truly said in his argument that it threw
the Plaquemine frauds, and hose Of Rhila'
delphia totally into the shade. We hops
the rebuke will have its effect upon the
reckless men OF that region. Ifa score oil
more OF them should be indicted for theil
participation iu this business 1t would be
nothing more than they dcserve.--Joar.

0TThs post mortem examination Of the
body of the late Dr. Gardiner, leaves no
doubt of his death having been occasioned
by s,richnine, which is described as one oil
the deadliest of the Java poisons. The
Washington Star says:
On the Gardiner award $42s.750 was
fraudulently distracted from the Treasury !;
S2lS,000 OF which had been enjoined-to be
probably returned into the Treasury. The
deceased DR.. Geo. A. Gardiner, also drew
from the Treasury $l53 900 on the claim of
DR.. H. Mears; $4,000 ofwhich went direct
ly to his own endowment. Mears, who is
in Mexico, having been indicted, boldly ad-
mits that his claim was shameless fraud,
and unblushingiy defes the Government OF
the United States, there being no extradi-
Z ton convention or treaty between the two
governments, under which he can be de-
mandsd Of Mexico for trial under indictme nj
on this country.
