3. Ii causes tho incarceration, in I ho
sowriil jaiN and pi'iiiti-ntiarii'spf our Stale,
of fifty thousand of our fellow-citizens an
nually. 4. From ils influence, proceeds four-
filths of nil the ci'inif's, from tho least that is
recognized by ihe law, to (lie mosl ll.yitioils
that cuinu under the cogiiiii.uic'' of our
Courts.
f). Since the lirsi of last Jaauaiy, il has!
occasioned no less than tilty lioinocides
within the limits our State, and almost in
numerable assaults nilh intent to kill, hap
jiily unsuccessful.
0. It is the fruitful cause of immor
ality, irrcligion, profanity, ubscei.hy, bins-
ldiomy, coiitenitit of law, contemiit of
nil tho proprieties, amenities anil tho de
cencies of life ; and of every evil wold nml
work.
7. It costs the State, eighty millions of
dollars annually.
8. Il destroys tho lives of not less than
fifteen thousand of otir citizens, every 12
months.
Consider these principles, universally en
ceded its true :
1. Tho interests of health are superior
to those of property. 'The health of tin
people is tho supreme law.'
2. Tho interests of morality oy-r-ri I.
those of property,
3. Tho personal security of tins ci'u.-n
from assault and outrage, is of inoiv conse
quence than the rights of property,
4. I be interests ot th" man; nnHtn.it
bo sactifieed to thoso of the jw.
5. The right of tho people .to protect
themselves, through tho institutions of go
em.'iiont, is inherent and indefeasible; and
government, in the very nature of the case,
is clothed nilh all the powers requisite to
the accomplishment of this end, tho pro
tection of the people.
From the fao's and principles thus sta
ted, the following inferences are unavoid
able : '
1. The liquor faffifi i9 prac'ically hos
lilo to all the interest, of soci' ty which the
civil power is ordniin d to protect.
2. The suppression of that traffic is
clearly demanded by the purpose for which
government was ordained, and is therefore
clearly within the limit of its constitutional
powers.
8. The traffic, and not its suppression,
5 unconstitutional, and the government that
neglects to prohibit it, is either ignorant of
its obligations, or faithless to its trust.
The constitutionality of prohibition, is
further proved
1. By the fact that for twenty years
past, it has been recoiiized in the legisla
lionof the General Government. See Laws
of the U. S. for 1834, Vol. IX, page 133.
2. The Supreme Court of the Luited
States, in full Bencti, has declared it so,
with no dissenting vo;e. Chief Jusiice Ta
ney says :
'If any State deems ihe retail and inter
nal traffic in ardent spirits, injurious to its
citizens, and calculated to produce idleness,
vice or debauchery, I see nothing in the
Constitution of the United States tt prevent
it from regulating or restraining the traffic,
or from prohibiting it altogether, if it thinks
proper. Prohibitionist. ,

Do we miss thee at home 1 yea I we m;s thee ,
Since the hour when wo bade line adieu ;
And prayers have encircled thy pathway,
From anxious hearts loving and true,
That the Saviour would guide and protect thee,
As far from the ksred ones you roam ;
And whispered whene'er thou art saddened,
They miss thee Uiey miss Ihee at home.
The shadows of evening are falling
Oh, where i the wanderer now 1
The bneze that Hunts lightly around us

Tbis is a question which is often asked; thought
lessly asked and easily decided by those who im
plicitly follow the guidance of a party and are led
bliudly by a man. The dupes of partizans and the
tools of demagogues, they generally await the
command of their leaders, or ask for advice only to
testify their loyalty to the taskmasters, and supKrt
the men of their party, regardless of qualifications.
To the wily, the scheming, and the ambitious, the
question is one which is worth consideration.

Hon is decided in favor of the must efficient tool for
advancing these selfish interests. T
But to the man who bos a proper sense of the du
ties and resionsibditicathat devolve upon him, us a
citizen, the question is one of gravo import, lie
feels that those who force power into the hands of
any one, are resjionsible for its use, and that there
is a retributive Power above thut will visit a people
far the injustice of thoso whom they have placed
innulhority. In agovcrnment,such as ours, where
each individual has a Voice in the election of its ru
lers, and an influence in the making nnd adminis
terlng of its laws, we are individually accountable
for its acts, and participants of its guilt. Though
but one of many, who are involved iu the guilt, we
aro none the less responsible. C! uilt cannot be di
vided among the perpetrators of a crime, but each
one is as culpable as if ho were the only one con
cerned. '
How important is it, then, that in the choosing of
men to enact and administer our laws, we should
select those in whom, from their moral integrity
nnd decision of character, we can have confidence;
men whom we know to be governed by the eternal
principle of justice who acknowledge themselves
to be not only obligated by the will of their constit
uents, but also by that "lrghcr law," with which
no human legislation can conflict, and be just. It
is our duty to sustain such men for office; but to
none o hers can we safely confide the destinies of
our country. When we make theso principles the
criterion by which we judge the fitness of a can
didate, wc need not long hesitate, in ordinary ca
ses, for whom we should vote. The puili of duly
is always plain, and easily distinguished. Kantai

At a (own meeting in Pennsylvania, the question
once cams up. whether any person should be
licensed to sell rum. The clergyman, the deacon,
nml physician, s'runi'e as il may now nppear, all
favored it. One man only spoke against it because
of the mischief it did. The question was ah iut to
be put, when, all at once, there arose from one
corner of the room, a miserable female. She was
thinly clad, ami her appearnxce indicated I lie
utmost wretchedness, snd that her mortal career
was almost closed. After a moment of silence,
snd sll eyes being fixed upon her, she stretched
her attenuated body to its-utmost height, and then
her long arms to their greatest length, and raising
her voice lo a shrill pitch, she called lo all to look
upon her.

The Hume Law.
The game law passed at Iho recent session of Ihe
Legislature, and which is now in force, provides,
"That il shall be unlawful for any person to kill,
ensnare or trap any deer, fuwn, wild turkey, prairie
hen or chicken, or quail, between the fifteenth day
of January, and the first day of August, of each
and every year."
The having in possession of any of the prohibited
game, is to be deemed prima facie evidence Ihal
the possessor has violuted the law, and he is subject
n the penally. Fines collected fur such violations
of this la, are to bo appropriated oue-hulf lo the
informer, and one-half to the school funds of th
Township in which the violation occurred.
The penally for killing a deer or fawn iu Ihe
lime specified, is $15, and for killing any of (he
birds named, is $5.
The law "lo provides that
"Any person who shall go Uon the premises
of any person or persons, or corporation whether
the same be enclosed or not, with intention to hunt,
be found hunting, entrapping, or ensnaring any
of the above mentioned animals or birds, ut or
within the lime uforesaid, he shall be deemed
guilty of trespass, und muy be prosecuted bofi.ro
any jusiice of the peace, of the county wherein
(he suid premises may lie, by the owner or person
iu possession oftlio same, in an action of trespass
aud fined in any sum not less (ban fivo nor more
than twenty dollars, to go to Ihe owner or occupant
of sa d premises."
By the provisions of this law, it will bo seen
that any one, having gume in hie potsettion at
the present lime, is liable to a fine of fifteen dollurs
for deer, and five dollars each for quails, chick
ens, &e.
We are glad thut the previsions of this law aro

In view of the great destruction of game by Ihe

Mr DeaeSir: Accept my thanks for your
very excellent speech in defence of the "American
parly and its mission." Though not a native, but
a naturalized citizen, I would most cheerfully
forego any advantages which I might derive from
my present relation to Ihe Republic, if Hie evils
which you so graphically depict, and which you so
forcibly deprecate, could be averted by my disfran
chisement. I believe that I share these feelings
in common with thousands of naturalized foreigners
in these United Slstes.

Secret Orders.
Of all iho clap-trap and baldcrd.vdi litliled
at kiniw-tiot1 in'isui by its foes, that in regard
to the srereev of the order is tho most tiiierilo
and nonsensical. 'Iluwaro, beware,' exclaim
these philaiithropical individuals "beware
of secret societies, midnight machinations,"
and all tho other "gorgoin, hvdras, and
chimeras dire," which their brilliant im
aginations can coiijui'o up and associate
with this dreaded organization-
Tho jargon is meant to play upon the
fears nnd opera' e upon tliu prejudices of that
class, in every community, which distrust
secret societies for whatsoever objects or
purposes lliey may bo found. There wo
