Owing TO the large amount of ounterfeit Pain Killer
put up and sold as genuine by unprncipled men, we
have been obliged to resort to very expensive
to protect ourselves pecunary aud the public from
great injury, by buying and using their worthless coun-
tefeits. The compa rative plain and simple style in
which our Pin Killer has been put up, has made it
very easy for those disposed, to initiate it very
fully as far its external appearance in style of bot

that the mpound is miserable, filthy proc uction, and
calculated to do great injury to those who might it

The Recent Election.

W see nothing in the recent elections which
should dishearten the American party of the
United States, while there is much that should
stimulate and strenthen the members thereof
to renewed exertion. In the first place, they
are essentially right They are contending for
the supremacy of a principle which has never
been questioned in any country under Gods
heaven, saving and excepting the United States.
The consciousness of right is tower of
strength, and when properly preserved in and
carried out, must lead to victory, just as sure
as truth is omnipotent and public justice
certain'-saying of HENRY CLAY, the truth
of which he did not fully realize until the
shadows Of the grave were gathering around
his earthly form. But the principle he cnun-
cated in his own sublime diction is eternal.
and does not apply to men. Men die, but
principles never. The ruler departs this life
and goes to final judgment, but the nation
lives on--the principles of its government still
exist-the "nation never dies, So with the
principles Of the American party. Its glor-
ious principles will never die, although its lea
ders and originators may. A defeat here and
check there, on an insulated battlefield
amount to nothing As yet, the American
party has never had fair chance-an open
feld-in which to display its real strength
Dead weights, side issues, local interest and
disaHections, with some Objectionable features
in the plan Of its organization, have all con-
tributcd to whatever disasters it has cncoun-
tered.
Eut its losses have been more than counter
balanced by its gains. So far as the late fall
elections are concerned, the American party is
ahead. We have lost Louisiana and Mississippi
pl--thirteen electional votes-and have gain
ed Maryland, New York and Massachusetts,,
as per last ac:ounts-giving about sixty elec-
toral votes We see no cause for despondency
in such state of attairs-nothing indicative
Of aught save Of complete triumph at the
grand pitched battle next November, when the
forces of the nation will be arrayed on one side
or the other-when there can be no mistakins
the doctrines cmblazoned on either banner
when the field will be broad and fair, and when
che people, having the welfare of the country
at heart, can not be deceived and led away by
the arts of the designing demagogue.-B. r.

The American patriot., 1855-11-24

Now multiply the number by twelve and we
have upwards of sixteen thousand arrests +!
made annually in the city of New Orleans
which can probably be traced directly or indi-
rectly to the use Of ardent spirits.
Let US turn our attention nearer home.--Snce
the suppression of licenses for the retailing of
ardent spirits, how great has been the change
for the better order and peace of our village?
No person of any observation, cannot but be
satisfied Of this fact-and it can be confirmed
by reference to the dockets of our Justices Of
the Peace--I heard the late Mr.. Carman re.
mark, only few days previous to his death,
that the staten ent can be proved, by a refer
ence to his docket And those disturbances
OF the peace and violators of law which have
transferred since the licenses were done away
with, can nearly all be traced to intoxication.
Then why should we again open wide the lid
of this "Pandora's Boz" from which has flow
ed so many calamitous evils upon socictey. II
we have succeeded in closing it only in part,
VIC should try to persevcrc in shutting it up
entirely, and adopt the maxim" Touch not /.
Taste not Handle not !'-and thereby save
thousands Of the most useful, talented and best
citizens of our country, that are mow " on Meiy

The Past, the Present, the Fature.

How to begin, and how to end. are always
important enquiries The past has fed forev'
or; but the present Is always with w. and the
future is foil Of hope. Ifin present action,
we happen to mistake. the fault is our own,
and We must suffer the consequences. But
when we take deliberate retrospect Of the
past a view Of our course in the late political
conflict Of al that we have said or written, we
are no less Of the opinion now, than then, that
We were right, and are now, fright side up,
having care"
The course we have marked out for our
selves shall be that Of a bee line to the end, for
truth is great and will prevail"
The personal antmosities which too often at
tend high political excitement, has no room
in our breasts. They have had no room there;
and we desire to remain as sealed book to
them While there may be those around us
bewailing in bitterness Of expression their past
defeat, and that of local and personal identities
let it be our province to pour on the oil of con-
ISOLATION, in the belief, that still the country is
safe. The success of this or that party, or of
this or that man does not necessarily carry
with it despondency from which there is no
prospect Of recovery. Nor does it carry with
it a desponding belief that the defeated parties
have such inherent malades as not to be able
under more favorable auspices to "cut and
come again"
And while We are Of the opinion that we
have been damaged much by misapprehcn-
sion Of our purposes and objects by one or more
classes, we are nevertheless constrained to ad-
NIT that, on the face of things" as they have
existed, the showing has been against us. But
little deeper penetration below the surface,
cannot but in the end show that we have been
damaged overmuch. and that repentance will
sooner or later restore us to position where
our party ought now to stand. There will be
repairing of damages" We believe the
first sober thought Of the American people is
American-and that the second will give the
first right direction in the end. And we be-
lieve further, that large number of those
the classes above alluded to are in sentiment
with us, and will ultimately be found fighting
side by side with US for the great principles of
the American Party.
