NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF ERIoRcoMsfoDiTfEs
Among the many dishonesties 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 mn
scrupuous dealers Of initiating and counterfeiting
the exterior appearance and precautionary labels
of popular drugs, med camenta and other articles
Of personal consumption, and thus, BY selling up
on the well acquired reputation of an enterprsinp
trader palming off most destructive and worthless
compounds, to the sore detriment 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 the hest of all honorable
dealers and traders, and the trade is as much hch
way robbery as the violent appropriation OF their
neighoor's purse lin fact, they arc beneath The
burglar and highwayman in dignity-for. these
latter feons exhibit bravery or ,recklessness of
character in nowise distinguishing the mercantile
assassin who stabs in the dark. And ought they
not be rewarded with punishment commensurate
with the cowardice Of their crime? We,werele
to these remarks by accidentally Observing q spu-
rious counterfeit of Udolpho Wolfs's Schiedaua
Schnapps. The labels were Initiated perfectly,
with the slight addition of few letters to plead
technical avoidance Of the law against counterfei-
ting; the bottles were very similar, and every
thing carefully prepared to impose upon careless
purchaser. Now is not the man who, perpetrated
this fraud, felon, robber? Assuredly he is;
for, as Mr.. Wolfe has expended large sumsto bring
his genuine imported schnapps into popular de-
mand, that demand may be justly considered q
part of his capital in trade, and fellow stealing
part Of his reputation is as much Of thief as II
he had stolen barrel Of his schnapps in bulk
And to this crime he adds further one of defrau-
ding the community. by giving them ruinous ar
ticle for the money they intended to expendfor
commodity in which they had confidence. And,
further, every man who participates Indirectly In
the fraud, by selling spurious articles is as much
of an offender as 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 noxious
composition. We trust that Mr.. Wolfe Wiii,ob-
tain names, not only of the concoctors: 6f these
counterfets, but o. every man offering them for
sale, and then publish them to the world ; for His
own reputation and the health of the Community
demand that all parties should be nailed to,the
pillory Of popular execration. t.e-&. -

Az INFAMOUS Bus1yRss.-When an enterpffsfpe
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 steal IN, and under
specious pretexts hold ont to the public an infsri-
or article and endtayo to obtain their. itronages
Pray, what difference is there so far as the hon.
esty Of the thing is concerned, between puriojr-
ing the business by wlicha citizent hopes to make
his bread and stealing the bread itself? a COM
mon thief, if he takes without leave, however hun
cry, n loaf of bread froma bakers shop, IS appre-
hended and condemned tothe penitentiary fof dor
ing in surreptitious manner to apease his npbe-
tite; but put d respectable looking coat on his
back and o few dollars in his pocket, and he may,
with mpunity nay, even with the applause Of his
fellows, by knayery, forgery or other Infamous
means, take the business of an honest man from
him. and 60 unscathed of justice All tfs Is wrong.
Some years sincca gentleman Of this eity (UdoI-
pho Wolfe) introduced TO the United States anedi.
Gated article Of gin, which was highly approved
by professional gentlemen as o superiorstonic and
deobstruent, and the knowledge OF Which he,
by advertisement and otherwise, disseminated
throughout the country. So. soon astricksters,
who pass in the business community as honest
men, saw that Mr.. Wolfe was likely to have hand
some returns for the time and money which he
had expended. they set about forging his labels
and palming off upon the people detestnble and
poisonous compounds which they have the hariii-
hood to-cail 'Schietlam ,schnapps." In some in
| stances they have gone so far as to put Woffe's
uanle to their villainous liquids. As this horde
are growing bold in their rascaties, il Is time the
public in town and country were put upon their
guard Consumers should be sure that they pur-
chase the genuine article, or else their health may
be irreparably injured by using the horrible stnf
that INSCRIPTIONS men, because they can bnyit
cheap, will offer as the genuine article. Pure
Schiedam Schnapps- can only be obtained at the
stores Of respectable merchants and druggists, in
town and country, and at the establishment of
Udolpbo Wolfe, Nos. 18, 90 and22 Beaver Street,
in this city, where tits gotten up exclusively I've
think it duty which Mr.. Wolfe owes to,himself
and the community to publish, by name, the ras.
calls who are thus attempting to dcfroud both him
and those wlo would be his customers. SIIe Should
not permit his modesty to hold him back from
making so righteous on expose.
