 FRAUDULENT INVITATIONS OF SUPERIOR Cow. MoDITIEs.--Am the many dishonestips of trade which the moral sense of the comm, atty is called upon to suppress, we would particularly notice most perncious prao. tice adopted by interruptions dealers of i'm. itating and counterfeiting the exterior m. pearanco and precautionary labels of popujgr drugs, medicamcnta, and other articles of personal consumption, and thus, by seizino upon the well acquired reputation of an on. terprising trader, palming of most destruc. tive and worthless compounds, to the sore detriment not only of the consumer. hut ro the character of the man who has expend4d thousands of dollars in bringing the genp,ne article into esteem and demand. Tbesene+. ty larceny thieves are the pest of all honor- able dealers and traders, and the trade is as much high way robbery as the violent ap- propriation of their neighbours pur5et in fact. they are beneath the burglar and highway. man indignity-for these latter felons exhIfit a b,.o or rooy 1ocCr,ovo NE, . wise distinguishing the mercantile assassin who stabs in the dark. And ought they not be rewarded with punishment commensu. rate with the cowardice of their crime? We were led to these remarks by accidentally observing counterfeit of Upolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Schnappe. The labels were imi tated perfectly, with the slight addition of letter to plead technical avoidance of the law against counterfoiting; the bottles were very similar, and every thing carefully prepared to impose upon a careless purchaser Now is not the man who perpetrated this fraud. felon, robber? Assuredly he is; for, as NIr. Wolfe has expended large sums to bring his genuine imported Schnapps into popular demand that demand may be justly consid- cred a part of his capital in trade and fellow stealing a part of his reputa- tion is as much of thief as if he had stolen barrel of his Schnapps in bulk. And to this crime he adds further one of defraud- ing the community by giving them aruinous article for the money they intend for a com moditv in which they had confidence. And. further, every man who participates indi- rectly ii the fraud, by selling spurious ar- ticles is as much of an offender as the prin- cipal who planned the imposition. The re- nedy of Nr. Wolfe should lie in his holding all concerned up to the contempt of the communitythus swindled by their operations, and unconsiously imposed upon by their noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe will obtain names, not only of the concoctors of these counterfeits, but of every man offering them for sale, and then publish them to the world; for his own reputation and the health of the commuoity dcmanl that all parties should be mailed to the pil- lory of popular execration.
