THE AMERICAN SMOKER,

/
THE AMERICAN SMOKER,
Consisting of a great variety of unique and
beautiful patterns of Cigar Tubes; also, sew
eral varieties of Pipe Tubes, The peculiarly
about these articles is that each one is amang-
ed so as to receive n damp sponge, through
which the smoke of the burning cigar has to
pass on its way to the mouth. This damp
sponge not onycools the smoke, but extracts
from it the nicotine oil, the poisonous proper-
tv of the Tobacco, which renders the breath
less offensive. Smokers will find the use Of
these Tubes ~ lnxury nefer before attained
except by using the Turkish water jar. Their
ase will also greatly promote tue health ofthe
habitual smoker and preserve the sweetness
Of the breath. tf .1E5-, .sst,s-ttst.zs

From New York.

NV York, Dec. 80.
Speaker Orr received his friends to-day at
the Alderman's room, where many distinguish
ed politicians called upon him. He was well
coined in a brief address by the Mayor, to
which heresponded in appropriate terms.
The Washington Correspondent of the Post
says the statement that nothing will be done
with the tariff this session is erroneous. A
bill is already maturing, and Mr.. Phillips,
Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee,
thinks measure can be presented which will be
satisfactory to the manufacturing interests of
the North, the Iron interests of Philadelphia,
and yet meet the appreciation of the Southern
~Free-Traders.
The same Correspondent says there is a pros
pcct that the House Military Committee will
report in favor of a protectorate over a portion
of Mexico, the precise limits not fixed. a
large number of Southern members, however,
including almost the whole Of the S. Carolina
delegation will oppose a protectorate, preferring
to stand Upon the provisions of the existing
treaty which establishes a Gordon of military
posts along the dividing lines of the two
countries.

Shutting the Republican Party Out of Sight.

to get up a new alias for their decayed cause.

istration. THIS as one ray Of shotpsng the
Republican party out Of sight. There is a

is arrayed against the Administration, which

Why was it Done ?

The Washington Union returns to the cues
ton of the slave traders and the landing of a
cargo of Africans in Georgia and asks why Gan
act of piracy has been committed as sordid and
wanton as ever disgraced the times of the buc-
aneers?" Why have these negroes been stolen
from their homes and thrust upon our soil :?
And, this is its answer -
Simply for their money Udlue. 1t is not pre-
tended that any value can enure to this CONT
nent, its people or it's institutions, except the
mere pecuniary advantage that may result from
a larger supply of labor. Only moral injury to
society can come of these importations. The
laws of the country have been broken, the pub
lie sentiment of the whole country offended, pi-
racy committed, and guilt deliberately incurred,
pocket the sanctity of the law has been inva-
ded. Entrenched securely behind the law, the
South has successfully defended her c%onstitu-
tional rights against the assaults of her enemies
for a quarter of a century; but now some of
her own people are willing to turn upon and
batter down that hitherto sacred and impreg-
nable rampant. Heretofore the pride of thG
South has been that her cause was the cause of
tbs constitution and The laws but now some
of her own people endeavor wantonly to abro-
gate and set aside those Instruments. At last,

~counscls between. the utze and the honestu,n ;
there are those willing to seek only what is ex-
pedient and profitable at the expense of what
is lawful and what is honest. Has the South
turned Jew Is gain, is the almighty dollar,
to be henceforth the god of the cavalier?
It seems to us that one of the most impor-
tant questions ever presented for the decision
of the Southern people is now before them, in
the case of p%iratical persons who have just
succeeded in landing a cargo of Africans on
her coast, and sold them for money in violation
of the law. 1t is a question whether the pub
lie sentiment of the South will permit the laws
and consti tuition of the country to be violated
with IMMUNITY. 1t is a question whether a
local prejudice or fanaticism will be allowed to
override the law and the courts of justice. 1t
is a question wheth9r, for sordid gain or any
sort of pecuniary advantage, the South will
consent to permit the constitution, her palladi-
um, to be trampled under foot. What are a
few frightened, frail Africans, to the value of
law upheld in its integrity, and reverenced, re-
spected, and obeyed by a patriotic people?
