OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF SUPERIOR caMNoDITIEs
Among the many dishoncsties Of trade which
the moral sense Of the community is called upon
to suppress, we would particularly notice most
pernicious and infamous practice adopted bY I'M
scrupulous dealers of initiating and counterfeitirg
the exterior appearance and precautionary labels
of popular drugs, med-camenta, and other articles
of personal consumption and thus, by seeing np-
on the well acquired reputation of an enterprising
trader palming off most destructive and worthless
compounds, to the sore detrinent not only of the
consumer, but to the character Of the man who
has expended thousands of dollars in bringing the
genuine article into esteem and demand. These
petty larceny thieves are the best of MI honorable
dealers and traders and the trade as mnth bigh-
way robbery as the violent appropriation of their
neighbor's pnrse; in fact, they are beneath the,
burglar and Shighwayman in dignity-for these
latter felons exhibit bravery or recklessnessof
character in nowise distinguishing the rneroantife7
assassin who stabs in the dark. And ought they
not be rewarded with punishment commensurate
with the cowardice of their crime?f We were.Ied
to these remarks by accidentally observing dspu-
rious counterfeit of Udolpho WoIfe's Sohiedam
Schnapps. The labels were initiated perfectly,
with the slight addition of few letters TO plead
technical avoidance Of the law agsinst counterfeit
ting; the bottles were very similar, and every
~. of,,11,, =
purchaser. Now is not the man who perpstratd
this fraud, felon, robber? +Assurcdly he IS.
for, as Mr.. Wolfe has expended largesums to bring
his genuine imported schnnTps into popular de- !
mand, that demand may be justly considered o
part of his capital in trade and fellow stealing
part of his reputation is as much Of thief asifr
he hadstolen barrel Of bis schnapps in bulk
And to this crime he adds further one of ,defrau-
ding the, community by giving them ruinols ar
ticle for the money they intended to expend for 8
commodity in which they had confidence. And,
further, every man who participates indirectly in
the fraud by selling spurious articles is rs nuch
Of Fan offender ss the principal who planned the
imposition. The remedy OF Mr.. Wolfe should lie
in his holding all concerned up to the contempt Of
the community thus swindled BY their operations,
and unconsciously imposed upon by their norious
composition. We trust that Mr.. Wolfe will ob-
tain names, not only Of the concoctors >fythesa
counterfeits, but o. every man offering them Tor
sale, and then publish them to tho world for his
own reputation and the health Of the community
demand that all parties should be nailed To the
pillory ofpopular execration. = 3 -,

An INFAMOUS BUsINEss.-When an entefprsing
man strikes out new business, to the establish
ment Of which he gives his industry, time, talents
and pecuniary means, can anything be more CON.
temptible than to have another In and, under
specious pretexts, hold out tothe public an fmsfi-
or article and endeayor toobtain their patronage
Pray, what difference is there, so far as the hon@
esty Of the thing is concerned, between pnrioin-
ing the business by which acitizent hopes To make
his bread and stealing the bread itselfE a COM.
mon thief, if he takes without leave however hIn-
cry, loaf of bread from baker sshop; il appra,
lended and condemned to the penitentiary for dar-
ing in surreptitious manner to apease his appe.
tite; but put respectable looking coat ON his
back and few dollars in his pocket and he may,
with impunity, nay, even with the applause Of his
fellows, by knavery, forgery or otI er, infamous
means, take the business Of an honest man frem
him, and 60 unscathed of justice an this is wrong,
Some years since gentlemen of tbisse fUdof-
pho Wolfe) introduced to the United States medf
Gated article Of gin, which was highIy.apprsyed
by professional gentlemen as q superior tonic and
deobstruent, and the knowledge of which he,
by advertisement and OTHERWISE, disseminated
throughout the country. So soon as trieksfers,
who pass in the business community as honest
men, saw that Mr.. Wolfe was likely tohsye 6and-
some returns for the time. and money which he
had expended, they set about forging hislsbels
and palming off upon the people tdetestable and
poisonous compounds which they have the hsrdi-
hood to call t"Schiedam schnapps.Da In some m
stances they have gone SO far-as to. put Toifess

are growing bold in their rascalities, is time the
public in town and country were put upon their
guard Consumers should be sure that fhey pur-
chase the genuine article, else their henith may
be irreparably injured by using the horrible stuff
that unscrupulous men; because they can 3barf Il
cheap, will offer as the genuine article.e Pnrs

in this city, where it is gotten up exclusively We
think it duty which Mr.. Wolfe owes: to himself
and the community to publish, by name. the ras-
calls who are thus attempting to defroud both him
and thosewho would be his customers. He eshonld
not permit his modesty to hold him: back from
making so righteous an expose. =, :, s$ssss.s..lz
