ceptlon which II has elevated 10 virtue, al
which compels every man 10 regard ms
neighbor with suspicion and dislrust ;-with
its sectarAnsm, which for the hrst time IN
the history Of the country It associates with
politics with It's sins Of omission IN rels-
ton to Slavery, and It's sins of commission
in relation to the citizens Of foreign birth
the Know Nothing party Is disgrace to the
American people. In every light IN which
1t can be viewed, il is fraught with mischief.
History teaches that It will help rather than
hurt the Catholics. Common knowledge OF
human nature teaches that II will make the
foreign born citizen worse instead OF better
Common sense teaches that it will iniure the
Anti Slavery movement.
See what kind of fruit the people are al
ready gathering from this Know Nothing
Thorn: behold the elections mlstiied, that
would otherwise have been clearly Ant
Slavery. Behold the Administration party
invigorated by giving il the right side of 4
question. Behold the Germans of the West
Just learning TO appreciate the sham Demo
cracy, now driven IN self defence back to il,
ranks. Think of the Massachusetts legisla
ture, the first born of Know NoIhiDgism, with
its smelling committees, an object for the scorI
aud contempt of every right minded man.
The question now comes up,-What course
is to be persued TO preserve to Vermont thu
unmistakcbe uncompromlsing attitude sh'

MANUFACTURES OF PORT WINE..-A
London paper gives the following account
of the manner IN which port wine is man
ufactured:
When port is required to be manulac.
tured, two separate processes are deliber-
ately and Systematically gone through:
first the wine itself is made, and then
the bottles are prepared into which the
liquor is to be transferred. When the
mixture itself is deficient in the fragran
cy peculiar to the grape, a bouquet j.
contributed by means of sweet scented
herbs, by orris-root, elder flowers OF
laurel water. ( vinous order is some
times impaired by small quantities of tn,
liquid known as the oil of wine. TIL
pleasant juice of the slOe imparts a port
like roughnesS to the compound, and saw
dust or oak bark effect the same purpose
A fruity taste is given by tincture @
rsisins. and Q rich, ruby color has prob
ably once flowed in the vessel of the sad
die wood tree.
But the bottles have to be crusted
This is done by tincture of catechu anC
sulphate Of lime. The corks are steepe,
in decoction of Brazil wood, and the We
~ casks are prepared with layer o
cream of tartar, which is formed at tn
bottom in glittering crystals. Thus
pipe of port which was young in tn
morning, is made to fall into extreme oil,
age in the course of the afternoon. TheS
are no exaggerations, and the follOwin:
has been given IS the chemical analyst
of bottle of cheap port wine. though
for obvious reasons wesuppress the guam
tities:-Spirits Divine, cider, sugar, al
um, t2rtaric acid, and decoction of log
wood. In most instances, when the win
IS not manufactured in this country, tn
consumer is victimized by three-fol,
adulteration. The exporter adulterates
the importer adulterates, and finally tn
retail dealer adulterates.
