zenS that there Is one place in city where the
physician, apothecary, and country merchant
can go and purchase pure Wines and Iiauors as
pure as imported, and of the best quality We
do not intend TO give elaborate description OF
this merchants extensive business although 1t
will repay any stranger citizen to visit idol
pho Wolfe's extensive warehouse Nos. IS, 20
and -, Beaver street, and Nos. Il. I9 and 2l,
Markettieid street. His stock of Schnapps on
hand ready Cor shipment could not have been less
than thirty thousand cases; the Brandy. some ten
thousand cases-Nintages of 1886 to 1856; and
ten thousand cases of Madeira, Sherry and Port
Wine, Scotch and Irish Whisky, Jamaica and
St. Croix Rum, some very old and equal to anv
in this country. He also had three large cellars,
filed with Brandy, Wine, &c, ia casks, under
Custom-H House key. ready for bottling Mr..
Woiie's sales of Schnapps last year amounted to
one hundred and eighty Thousand dozen, and we
hope in less than two years he may be equally
successful with his Brandies and Wines.
His business merits the patronage of every
lover of his species Private families who wish
pure Wines and Liquors for medical use should
send their orders direct to Mr.. Wolfe until every
Apothecary in the land make up their minds to
discard the poisonous stuff from their shelves
aud replace it with Wolfe's pure Wines and
Liquors.
We under tand Mr.. Wolfe, for the acccmmo-
datiou of small dealers in the country puts up
assorted cases of Wines and Liquors Such
man. and such merchant, should be sustained
against his tens of thousands Of opponents in the
United States, who sell nothing but limitations

EDlroR JousNAL The following article
appeared In the editorial columns of your
paper of yesterday morning, to wit:
BP There is-a-movement-e foot, we
learn, to petition the City Council to provide
for an election in order that the Crittenden
Compromise Resolutions may be submitted
to the people of Evansviiie. The oficious
politicians who are doing this would like,
we presume, to have the vote taken without
time for thorough, DISCUSSION. If they will
just g hold their horses little while, Con-
gress may order such an election But we
forget-Copgress is small potatoes COM
pared to the peculiar class of ofice-brokers
who make their headquarters around the
Vanderburgh County Court House. Con-
gress will have TO take back seat.
In regard to your reflections on the Of
fciousness of the class of politicians you re-
fer to, you are mistaken. I alone am re-
sponsible for the movement and the circula-
ton of the petition referred to. / wrote the
petition without previously consulting any
one. I did it because believe the time has
come when every man should do his utmost
to allay the storm and restore peace and
tranquility once more to our distracted
country. .a.5 g. w. MCBRIDE

-BGH An idea seems to prevail that the
Crittenden Compromise propositions are
substantially the same as the Missouri Com
promise. The first meagre Geographic re-
port that came made them appear 80, but a
careful reading of the official document will
show1at once that the two series of PROPOSE
tions are radically different in principle and
text. The rec enactment of the Missouri Com
promise would, we apprehend, be satisfacto-
~ to the North; but the Crittenden meas
ure is very far from being as favorable as
the Missouri Compromise.
