‘ It is said here that Fierce bos not appointed
any Abolitionist* or Freesoilcrs If he has, it
would lie well for Editors to place the facta before
the people by pnbliahing their names.”
Tua above is an extract from a letter f rom a
gentleman in Meriwether connty, Geo., to the
Editors It ia difficult to reconcile bow any man of
intelligence, who hod the least regard forhis repu
tation for veracity, could give utterance to such a
denial in the face of oil the facts before tho conn
fry. It can only bo aocounted for by suppoaing
him stupidly ignorant, or a wilful falaifier ol trutha
known to every well informed mind. Indeed, the
fact is so notorious that many of the most impor
tant offices have been given to Abolitioniata and
Freesoilcrs, as not only to have been admitted by
Democrats from one extreme of the Union to the
other, but to Ixavo been openly condemned end
denounced by all those who had the patriotism to
prefer their country to the harmonizing, by the
distribution of the spoils, of the Democratic psrty,
and the .independence mid manliness to express
their»eotimeats. Never appointed Abolitionists
or F reesoilers to office, indeed ! Let us to the re
cord, end rc-pnblish a few of the names of the
Abolition and Frcesoil cohort who have already
re o.vcd office from President Pmtci; and then
wait to bear who of tho Secession wing, those
exclusive frier,ds of the South and her institutions,
have or will condemn such pandering to Abo
litionism. We have only time to name a few:
John A. Dix, Bab-fre»-urer at New York;
Pkaslee, Collector at Boston; Thomas Hatkz, Dis
trict Attorney, Illinois.
“ The duties of United States Attorney are of a
peculiar and aeiious moment. The laws of Con
gress are to be enforced through his instrumental
ity. Has a fugitive slave been arrested and hi*
owner a*.ailed by a mob ? it is the duty of the At
torney to prosecute the rioters to conviction. How
distressing indeed to witness the awkward at
tempts of a Frceaoiler to vindicate the right of
property against the ‘ higher law' and the ‘rights of
mankind.” 1
Among other like appointment* are those of
Thompson Campbell, of Illinois, Land Commis
misaioncr of California, with a salary of SBOOO a
year, and Mr. Malonet, Register of the Land Of
fico at (Chicago, also a profitable office. Those men
were candidate* for Congress in Illinois, and were
elected after having answered the following in
terrogative* in the affirmative:
1. Will you, if elected, vote for and cordially
support a bill nrohibing slavery in the territories
of the United States?
2. “ Will you vote for and support a bill abol
isoing slavery in the District of olumbia ?
8. “ Will you vote for and advocate the repeal of
the Fugitive Slave law passed ut the recent session
of Congress?
4. “ Will you advocate and vote for the election
of a Speaker of the House of Representatives who
shall be willing to organize the committees of the
House so as to give the freo States their juat in
flnonce in Iho business of legislation?”
To these questions Mr. Thompson Campbell re
turn* the following unequivocal answers:
“To the first and second interrogatories I an
swer nnequivocally in the affirmative.”
“ To the third and fourth interrogatories 1 an
swer unhesitatingly in the affirmative.”

Mb. Editor :—My article upon the above subject
which you published last week, I notice, hasel.i i
1 ted some little attention flrom the public. Tbs:,
on the one hand, in some pisce-, the riends of
temperance reformation, by legis stion, are eo
shaping their course a* to obviate the constitution
al difficulty therein expreseed-aud, on the other,
yoar correspondent, “ A Member of the Atlanta
Convention,” joins issue witli me in what lie con*
eiders an important fact connected with the action
of that Convention.
Bat before I proceed to reply to the communica
tion of “ A Member, &c.,” which 1 propose to do
in as brief a space as possible, permit me to say
that I hail with pleasure the course adopted by the
people of the Connty of Newton, on the 7th inst.
as communicated to you by a correspondent ol the
same assumed name. For although I view with
distrust any movement which looks to legislaiuen
as the great agent of reformation in the temper
ance canse, yet I profess to be a friend to such re
formation, and wish that, if there is a resort to
legal enactments npon this subject, the advocates
of such measure may be untrammeled by consti
tutional barriers ; since past experience and i res
ont observation teach ns, that the unpopularity of
such a law with a great number of our people, and
consequently, ite probable impolicy, will present
obstacles enough to oppose its faithful execution
without any other impediments.
But I will now proceed to notice the article of
“ A Member of the Atlanta Convention.” In it is
displayed considerable tact in repelling an argu
ment, and much ingenuity in collecting authori
ties. But ob examination it will be discover
ed that-hi* positions are more specious than Bound;
his arguments more plausible than true. First,
we differ npon what he deems an important fact.
He says, “ we propose that the Legislature pass a
law prohibiting the retail of ardent spirits, except
upon tha condition that a majority of all the legal
voters of the County or district give their assent
to it.” On the other, band I suppose that the At
lanta Convention proposed to petition the Legis
lature simply to abolish the existing license lawa„
and permit by a law the people in the respective
counties to decide by vote whether or not they
were willing for ardent spirit* to be retailed, and
to fix a penalty in that law for the violation of n
will of the majority, if they were opposed to retail
ing. Now the only difference is, in the former
case they cannot retail unless a majority grant them
permission—in the latter case they can retail, un
leas a majority prohibit them. Now it seems to
me that the distinction is rather too nice and meta
physical lor any practical purposes. But as “ A
Member, <fcc.” seems to attach some importance to
tho distinction, and thinks that I have mistaken
the main fact upon which my syllogism, as he
'erma it, rests, and thereby rather yields a tacit
assent to tho correctness of my conclusion, were
tho state of facts os 1 assume them to be, let us
seo who is right in point of tact. Below I give
all of tho Atlanta resolutions that will tend to <tl^.
cidote this point. They propose “to petition th<Jj
next General Assembly of the State—First, to pass
a law embracing all necessary regulations for au
thoiizingtho legal voters of each county to decide
by vote whether retail traffic in spirituous liquors
may be allowed, or shall beprohibited, within their
respective counties.
Secondly.—To make effective the popular voice
thus expressed, and to extirpate the retail traffic,
however it may be disguised, by ordaining that no
traffic in spirituous liqnors shall be allowed, except
with license, and that no lisenso shall be issued until
tho licensing power is satisfied that a majority of
tho legal voters within the Militia District where
the traffic is allowed, consent to each traffic.” Now
iho first clause of this resolution seems to me in
compatible with any other idea than that tho peo
ple themselves have to decide tho question by
vote against tho privilege before any ono can bo
restrained from retailing spirituous liquors. On
the other hand, candor constrains mo to admit,
that the second, clauso of tho resolution seems to
favor the other idea, that the law of tho legislature
is to impose the restraint, Bubject, howovor, to re
moval by the people. Hence, when I first road the
proceedings of the Convention, I was at a loss to
know precisely what they meant. But oontempo
raucous and subsequent construction led me to
adopt tho meaning dcducible from tho first olause of
thoir first main resolution. And I will hero assort
that in all tho conversation I have heard from
those wtio wore delegates to that Convention, in
all the spooehes to which 1 have lißtoned explain
ing the objeets of that Convention, and in all the
nowspapor articles I have read advocating tho pro
poßod measures, my construction oftho resolutions
lias been advocated, and for the first time within
tny knowledge, “ A Member of the Atlanta Con
vention" broaches this now idea.
But I will take him upon his own construction,
and see if his position is tenable. He proposes
for tlie Legislature to pass a law prohibiting tho
retail of ardent spirits, subject, however to tho
oxooption, that if tho peoplo in any county, by a
majority properly expressed, wish it, the prohibi
tion may bo removed. His idea, thon, is that it is
a law independent of any action of the peoplo. Well
lot us see. If the peoplo lie still, do not move in
tho mattor, or, if you please, remain passive, it is a
living taw upon the statute book, with all tlie force
and offloaoy of any other law. But if a majority of
tho peoplo, in any county, move and decide by
vote, that thoy wish their natural rights to retail
to he restored, thon this independent, absolute law
bcomes very dependent and altogether conditional.
Does it not do tnoro ? Does it not become a dead
letter upon tho statute book, so fur as that particular
county is concerned ? Most ussuredly. Then the
forco, the efficiency, the very soul of the law depend
upon the baro fact whether the people will vote
“license” on the one hand, or on -the other, “no
license,” or not voto at all. In other words, this
ncw-fanglod idea of a low proposed by “a Member
Ao” is to boa sickly bantling of tho Legislature,
oapable of living in soclusion from popular contact,
but liable to bo killed by the first breath of popu
lnr enmity. Its life is in tho handß of the people,
ituiependent of Legislature;—its death can be pro
cured at any moment. Does this answer the defi
nition of a law! Lot us test itby authority. “Law
is a rule of action.” J udgo Blackatono says” it is a
rule ; not a transient, sudden order from a superior
to or concerning a particular person; but some
thing permanent, uniform, and universal Ac.”
Now what permanency, uniformity, or universality
can bo asoribed to this so called law, until tho peo
plo confirm it, or in other words, render it perma
nent, by their tacit assent in refraining from voting
it down, or by a majority sustaining it by voto ?
None in tho world. It is just precisely unstable,
and as far from being permanent as tho whims of
the populace, until, by their breath, they put it
boyond their roach. The conclusion, then, seorns
to me irresistible, that tho great, fundamental
element which is required to constitute this a law,'!
is incorporated into it at tho noxt annual olection,
ut tlie polls, after it has rocoivcd its first incipiont,
and unfinished touohCß from the hands of the
Legislature. In other words it does not become a
law, technically so called, upon its passage in the
Legislature, but it does, upon its confirmation at
the ballot brn. Now if it is a law of binding forco,
before the annual election, “A Member &o” must
admit that at that election, of the peoplo
•an, at least in effect, repeal it. Now 1 presume, he
will not liko that term. I will then express it thus
—a majority can decide that it shall have no binding
force upon them. But this would be mere quib
bling upon the part of my opponent, os it would
amount to thesamc thing hi effect. Iroturn, then,
with confidonoe, to the argumont a* stated in my
former communication, in a very short compass,
varied a very little to suit the objections of “A
Member &c.” '‘Legislative power is the power to
pass laws. Laio is a rule of action, as contradis
tinguished from an ordinance or regulation which
is unstable, and dependent for its existence upon
popular favor. Mau has the natural right to retail
liquor, nooue denies. Auy rule, therefore, which
restrains that right is a law, and is necessarily
created by legislative power. Therefore, if any
regulation, restraining this natural right, depends
upon the will of a majority of the people for its
permanence and efficiency, it becomes a rule, and
consequently a law, when that will is manifested
either by tacit assent or public demonstration and
not before, and they exercise legislative potcer in
thus manifesting their will.”
But 1 am referred by “ A Momber, &c.” to the
law regulating the licensing Physicians in this
State, as being analsgouß to the one under discus
sion. He says that :aw has been before our Su
preme Court, and its constitutionality was not
called in queatiou. He says, also, that Jam a law
\er. Well, 1 havo no advantage over him in that
respect. But I am somewhat surprised that he
did not discover wherein tho law which he cites,
and the one nnder review, differ in principle. The
difference is this: In the law cited, the Legisla
ture declared, in effect, that no one should prac
tice medicine, unless licensed to do so by a Board
of Physicians established by law, which Board can
grant or refuse license us they deem the applicant
mentally and morally qualified or not. The Board
of Examiners is a corporate body, established by the
saints legislative power which fixes the restraint,
aud imposes the penalty. In addition to that fea
ture in the law, this Board are not at liberty to act
from caprice, without any rule, and refuse lioeuse
to an applioant merely because a majority might
entertain some prejudice or personal hostility
against him, or, which is more in point, because a
majority might be unfriendly to the practice of
medicine in general. They are to be governed
solely in their decision by the rule prescribed by
the Legislature, namely: the qualification of the
applicant. Were they to act otherwise, and it
could be ascertained, they would forfeit their fran
chise. No one will suppose for a moment, that if
two applicants present their petitions for license,
are examined, and found equally competent, the
Board would be at liberty to refuse one and grant
the other license. Why not, though, if the law is
analogous to the proposed liquor-law ? In the lat
ter law, as proposed to be enacted, two persons in
adjoining counties, of equal qualifications in eve
rv respect, may ask for license, and one may ob
tain hie request and the other be denied. The
truth is, there is a wide difference in the two cases,
and a manifest want of analogy in many respects.
The one depends for its force upon the will of a
majority of the people unrestrained by law, the
other is a living statute in force upon the strata
book put into full and .unsafe! op^ ttllon b the
Lcgtsl. ureswktoh h#s
corporate Body of jammer. to the
qualifications of appheant, for license, under rules
established by the law-making power
But in reference to the decision by the Supreme
Court of New York, which I quoted in my former
artiole, perhaps “A Member of the Atlanta Oon
vention” is not so consoled by this time with the
reflection that he has “ E Pluribua Unum’a battery
playing iftmet himeelf.” I Mill tjqote it with oon
ifid.noe as containing the very principle for which
lam contending. In that case the law depended
i for its iorce upon the will of a majority of the peo
ple. So in this. But I will give him a little nurc
authority, which I happened to discover after I
i sent my first article off to the press. I quote from
Hon. Joseph Henry Lumpkin’s letter of the 26th
i May to the Temperance Banner. “ A statute was
; passed by the Legislature ot Delaware, 12th Fe-
I bruary, 1847, providing that the citizens of tl.e se
veral counties in the State should decide by their
votes whether or not the retailing of intoxicating
liquors should be permitted in said counties. And
thin, I understand, ia the mode of redress con
templated in this State. This act was declared to
be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of De
laware, on the ground that the Legislature could
not delegate the power of making laws to any
power or body. This was tho case of Eice vs.
Foster, reported in 4th Harrington, 479.”
“To the set of 1846, passed in Pennsylvania,
giving the citizens of certain counties the power to
decide, by a vote, whether the Bale of spirituous
and vinous liquors should be continued witliiu
certain counties, and imposing a penalty for the
sale of such liquors where a majority ol the voters
had been against such sale, was declared to*be un
constitutional and void, tor the reason that legisla
tive power could not be delegated, but must beexer
cised by the body created by the Constitution for
that purpose. See Barker vs. Commonwealth, 6
Barr’s St jte Reports, 507. 1n a late case in Ver
mont, these decisions were reviewed and overrul •
ed, and a contrary doctrine established.” And I
will simply add, that .he reason the decision was
different in Vermont from those in tho < ther States
alluded «o, I presume, (I have not seen the deci
sion,) is owing to the fact that the Constitution of
Vermont is a little different in the clause which de
clares the proper repository for the legislative
power, from the corresponding clause in all the
other State Constitutions which I have examined.
All the latter declare “The legislative power shall
be vested, &c.” The former declares, “The su
preme legislative power shall be vested, &c."
However this may be, my opponent most admit
that the weight of authority is ou my side of the
question. With these hastily penned thoughts, I
turn him over to other bands, bid him an affec
tionate farewell, and recommend him to ponder
coolly and dispassionately the suggestions thrown
out by Judge Lumpkin, in the latter part of the
letter from which I have just quoted two para
graphs. In so doing, perhaps he may be both pro
fited and instructed. E Pluribus Unum.
I’. S. As the above was written very rapidly, an
important thought was omitted in connection with
the Physicians’ law. I hope that the want of ana
logy between that law and the proposed liquor law
has been shown, even to the satisfaction of “ A
Member of the Atlanta Convention.” There is a
Jaw, however, with which, and the Physicians’
law, there is a close and striking analogy. And
that is our present law constituting the Inferior
Courts the legal agents to grant retail license. The
Board of Physicians in the one, and the Inferior
(Jourta in the other, occupy similar positions in re
ference to tho two laws. And tho difference be
tween our present and the contemplated law upon
retailing, in a constitutional point of view, was
shown in our former article. E. P. U.

Me. Editor:—ln your paper of 22d inst. is the
following paragraph: “‘E Pluribus UnumV re
ply to ‘A Member of the Convention’ has been re
ceived, but is unavoidably deferred. Perhaps he
may desire to withhold it, and reply to ‘Washing
ton’ at the same time.”
This is to inform you that he has no such desire.
When on anonymous writer, or -one under a ficti
tious name, so far forgets the rules of propriety,
or is so blinded by prejudice, as to charge
the want of since)ity upon all who differ with him
in opinion, and has the vanity to ridicule an able
letter written by as distinguished a person as
Judge Lumpkin—a man of purer morality, brighter
intellect, or a more zealous advocate of tempe
ranee, than whom, lives not in Georgia—l cannot
reply to his article in a Bpirit which would interest
the reading public. Bat I will say to you, Mr.
Editor, since yon considor his argumont unan
swerable, that tho same reasoning which he adopts
to prove his second proposition would establish
tho general proposition, that tho Legislature have
the constitutional right, at its next session, to re
peal every law npon our statute book, (when suoh
repeal would not impair the obligation of a con
tract,) and pass nn act authorizing the people in
each county to adopt such laws upon every subject
as they may think proper. If such bo tho Consti
tution of Georgia, then sure enough is she the
“ Empire State” not only of tho “ South ,” but of
the World. “ Washington” may be able to estab
lish such a proposition to his own satisfaction, but
he cannot find a presiding Judge, in my opinion,
in Georgia, who is deeply enough versed in legal
loro, to comprehend the force of his argument.
E Pluribus Unum.
For the Chronicle dk Sentinel.
To the Voters of Elbert County.
At a meeting held by a portion of the citizens of
your county, ou tho 7th inst., and published in the
Chronicle db Sentinel , the candidates before you for
the Legislature, are requostod to answer, through
tho press, certain questions, having reference to a
proposed measure of public policy, which is ex
citing souio interest in the country. Standing in
that relation to you, I most cheerfully respond to
tho call, and trust that I shall be so fortunate as to
put you in full possession of my views. That man
is unworthy of your support, who seeks to obtain
it by fraud or concealment.
The questions aro as follows: “First—Do you be
livo tho people of this Stato have the right to con
trol tho retail traffic iu spiritous liquors within
their respective malitia districts, us they may think
proper ?
“Second—Are you in favor of their enjoying that
right?”
If tho word right, in the first interrogatory, bo
taken in tho sonsoof power. I answor yes, so that
they keep within Constitutional limits.
If my opinion is sought, is to whether it would
bo good policy for the Legislature to pass a law,
conferring upon the people of the various militia
districts power to control or abolish the retail
traffic within thoir respective limits. I answer
no ; and shall proceed to give you my reasons.
That there are evils incident te the sate and use
of ardent spirits, I will not pretend to dony, and
if I could bring my mind to the belief, that by
abolishing tho half pint system you would remove
theso evils, or in any sensible degree diminish
them, I would doom it advisable for the citizen
to yield up this much of his rights, in exchange
for a result so desirable. But the quart and gallon
system would, in my opinion, fake the plaoo of
the other, and people would continue to drink
and get drunk, and commit crimes; and your
slaves would still have access to it, and procure
and use it to your detriment, just as they do now j
i and your law would bo set at naught, and spirits
privately dispensed by the drink and tho half pint.
1 therefore considor the proposed measure as an
instance in which the people would be required
to yield up a portion of their rights, without the
probability ol promoting tho public good, and con
sequently I cannot give it my support.
lam persuaded, that no Legislation restricting
tho sale and use of this article can prove effectual,
unless it extend to a total prohibition of the traffic,
a suppression ot distilleries and a refusal to permit
the importation. And it is even doubtful whether
this will. Suffice it to say, however, that such a law
cannot obtain tho approval of my judgment, I look
upon it us an invasion of this groat principle—that
Government should permit every man to pursue
his own happiness in his own way—so that he does
not infringo the saijie right in others. It punishes
the innocent to reneh the guilty, by withholding
from the moderato drinker the privilege of indul
ging to any, oven the smallest extent. It inlicts
an injury upon good men, because there are bad
men and weak men.
I would not have yon to imagine that, because I
am opposed to this kind ot..Legislation, I am there
fore an advocate of intemperance. This deduction
would bo quite as irrational as to conclude that I
am opposed to true Christianity, because I deem it
inexpedient to fetter the conscience, in order to
reach Mormonism and Milierism and all the other
isms and herisies, which infest the land and lead
thousands astray.
Moral suasion and family government, together
with an effecient system for the education of the
poor, will do more to arrest the evils of intemper
ance, than the most stringent laws that can be
adopted. Indeed much has already been accom
plished by these means and the Various orders of
our temperance friends are entitled to the grati
tude ot their country, for the zeal and self-denial,
which tney have so nobly manifested in this cause.
The error into which, I think they have now fallen,
is in my opinion owing to the fact, that they put
too high an estimate upon legal coercion, and
at the same time underrate the efficiency of moral
meaus.
1 do not say, however, that I am satisfied with
our existing aws upon this subject. lam in favor
of repealing the license law and placing the traffic
in spirituous liquors upon such a basis as to en
able any man who considers himself aggrieved and
annoyed by it, to reach the evil through the law of
nuisances. I am, moreover, in favor of increasing
the penalty for selling spirits to slaves. With
these alterations, our system ot laws, in relation to
this matter, will, in my opinion, do well enough,
if properly executed. L. H. 0. MARTIN.

From the Temperance Banner.
Letter from Judge Lumpsin.
Athens, June 9, 1353.
Mr. Brantly l ask the privilege of saying a
word or two in reply to yout criticism on my let
ter in the last number of the banner.
You addressed a note to me in reference to the
approaching Convention. 1 might, it is true,
have declined answering, respect for yon, for
bade this course, X therefore responded. The
lone and temper of ray letter will speak for them
selves. lam no volunteer. Then in this matter 1
did not seek to give publicity to my opinions.—
My eommooication was addressed to you and not
to tne public. I bad no wish to conceal my
views—still les> solicitude to make them public.
Under these circumstances my letter, which you
“exceedingly regret ever was w ritten,” is spread
out in the columns of your paper. If you really
thought that it was calculated u> do harui, why
was it not withheld, until you could have con
sulted with me as to the propriety of its publica
tion. Have you a doubt that 1 would most cheer
fully have consented to its suppression ?
In view of these facts and of the spirit "which
evidei tly actuated your attack, the question lue
oecurrea to me, which has been a-ked by some ot
the mos prominent and devoted temperance men
here : Has Mr. Brantly any old grudge against
you toavenge i! My reply is, that I knew ot none.
I'iial it istrue that we had the misfortune to differ
as to the propriety of tendering to Father Mathew
the honor of a public reception iu this State, after
it was discovered that be had subscribed the high
ly offensive abolition document, got np by Daniel
O’Connell, to be circulated in this country ; and
that the course 1 pursued, was unanimously sus
tained by a vote of tho Convention. And that,
without this, I knew of no cause of offence that I
had given.
Yet to the criticism. After expressing the pro
fonndestsadness for having to leave the “loiterer”
—the “laggard” behind you proceeded —ex cathre
dra not merely to deelure my place in the reforming
host vacant, but to assign me a station in the op
position rauks; where you are pleased to say,
yon are henceforth to encounter me as on
enemy.
As to the ltss of place, that gives me no pain.—
Tiie office 1 hold has been repeatedly cast upon
mo unsought. And lam, and always have been,
more than willing to resign it into more worthy
and efficient hands. Increasing years, bodily in
firmity, and the discharge of official duties which
admit of no respite, have admonished me long
since to this step. lam anxious to take my posi
tion, as a private in the line; beyond this 1 cannot
be driven. As the editor of the organ, you may,
as you have done, drag me in front of tho cold
water army, and acting the part of common execu
tioner, inflict a most cruel and unmerited flagella
tion upon an old soldier who has borne the heat
and burden of the day, for a quarter of a century
—one who has given his time and money, and the
best portion of his life freely to the cause, fcith
no other compensation but the approbation of his
owu conscience, and that of his tellow-men. But
neither Mr. B. nor any other power, shall turn me
over to the enemies of Reform. If! am unworthy
to associate with the burning and shining lights in
company with whom he is doing battle so bravely,
and in his opinion at least it seems that I am, I ahull
be permitted, I hope, to fight upon my own hifck,
and while there is a Borrowing female—a suffering
family, a helpless orphan in the land, demanding
sympathy, and imploring relief; while the fiery
delugo continues to roll over the earth—blasting
the best hopes of tho world, I shall continue with
my latost breath and to the utmost of my ability,
to promoto an enterprise which is approved of
reason—of religion—humanity and of God.
You say, the “name—the station—the argu
meats of Judge Lumpkin are all in the enemies
hands.” What argument pray, have I used to
thwart the effort now making ? Is it because I
have said we must not expect “too mack legiela
tion t" Had I repudiated all legislation, now and
in.allcomingtime, as did “the burning and shining
lights,” to whom you refer a short time since, my
orthodoxy might well have been questioned and
combated. But such is not now and m ver lias been
my position. I only Baid, we must not expect
too muchof legislation ; that for permanent suc
cess in this and every good cause, it is indisputa
bly necessary to train up our children aud tho
rising generation by precept and example, as well
as by wholesome checks in the paths of soberness.
Aud I will not abate ono jot of this opinion. Eli’s
sons were vile and he restrained them not; and
for this neglect he suffered the awful retribution
of an offended God. I believe a want of family
government to be the besetting sin of this nation.
Ministers of the gospel and pious people all over
the land, have ceased toconttol their household as
did faithful Abrahami They sow to the wind and
reap the whirlwind—in thedriinkeness and prefii
gaey of their sons ; and when it is too late, invoke
legislation to do that which it is impotent to ac
complish, and which they ought to have done
themselves.
How many of the unfortunnte followers of the
ill-fated Lopez, wero tho almost if not altogether,
beaidless hoys of the first and bed men in the
Union? The want of family government is the
gem of that party now called Young America,
which is raising its goigon head with portentous
mien, above every other political organization,
and which threatens to cut loose our noble ship
of State, from its ancient moorings. Family go
vernment must precede final amt decisive legisla
tion for the expulsion of this traffic, aud lay broad
and deep the foundation for it.
Exception is tuken to the rather playful remark
which I made, thut old States, like old men, re
quire more time to change their habits, &e. If
this is not so, why is it that lowa, Wisconsin, nnd
Michigan have barred out the traffic, while New
York, Pennsylvania and Virginia continue to li
cense it ? Why is it that England is behind this
country in law as well as almost every other re
form? W r hy do the Missionaries of the Cross find
it so difficult to make an impression Upon the an
cient system of Paganism i To cease to do coil,
aud learn to do well is much harder than to do
well in the first instance, where no counteracting
habits oxist.
But lam ueke tl, and the question is evidently es
teemed a poser from bsing italicised, “Have those
new States dine l ight t” Jho unbecoming sarcasm
which accompanies this interrogatory might well
excuse an answer. But waiving all benefit of ox
ceptionlsay unhesitatingly, Yes! Could anybody
after a candid perusal of my letter have doubted me
upon this point i A majority of the people of these
States believed that the public required protective
legislation; and there being, as wo have seen noth
iug in the Constitution of the United States to pre
vent it, they noted upon the subject, and who shall
undertake to say that they did wrong- The acquies
cence of the people is proof, that the measures re
spectively adopted wore demanded by the sove
reign will of those States.
If the objection to my letter is, that I insist in all
of onr attempts at reformation, upon preserving
tho law of lovo in our hearts, even toward those
who traffic in liquor, I have nothing to retract in
this respect. It was this principle that imparted
such telling pathos and tenderness to the eloquence
ofthe Rev. Dabnoy P. Jones, tho boanergos ofthe
temperance cause. Let others, if such be their
pleasure, brand the vender as a “private,” “mid
night burglar,” “com terfeiter” and assassin,” I
have uo taste for such epithets; besides, I have no
doubt, that there are many engaged in this busi
ness, who have consciences, hearts aDd flesh as
wel Ins others. Let us approach them as wo should
do all men that wo wish to benefit; iu the same
spirit in which we are wooed and won by tho of
fended majesty of heaven in the glorious gospel of
his blessed son.
I put arguments in the hands of tho enemy! On
the contrary, in famishing tho extracts from the
opinions of the Judges in a case which is justly
considered, ono of tho most signal triumphs ever
gained on a moral question, in this or any other
country; and citing as I did the persuasive example
of the new States, 1 flattered myselfthat I was ron
doring no small servico in diffusing light, and pre
paring the way for a correct public opinion upon
this question. And 1 have the consolation to be
assured from a quarter entitled to the highest res
pect, that I deserve commendation rather than
punishment for this act.
Was it wroDg in me to intimate as I did to the
friends of the proposed movement, that legislation
if not precisely identical, yot certainly strikingly
analogous, had been pronounced unconstitutional
iu several of tho States. I expressed no such
opinion my self. You might therefore have reserv
ed your argument upon this point for a more lit
and suitable occasion. But you seem to think it
exceedingly strange that men competent to hold
the office of Judge, should not be prepared at all
times, in advance of a case made even to form and
express at. opinion upon any legal or constitutional
question. Mansfield and Marshall were in the habit,
while in life and presiding in the courts of their
respective counties, of requiring both argument
and authority, before they would venture an
opinion upon any important doctrine. And so
far from claiming to bo superior to them, I confess
myself by comparison, a mere pigmy. I have
neither the time nor tho inclination to enter now
upon the investigation: “Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof.” I have performed my duty in
throwing out the hint, leaving it to others to im
prove it or not, as they may adjudge best.
But it is supposed that I am inconsistent in de
claring that the Legislature of a State has the pow
er to pass these prohibitory statutes, and yet de
cline to express my opinion as to the proposed
mode of redress. The former proposition has been
finally and conclusively settled by the proper court,
under the constitution, for adjudicating such cases.
Not as a Judge, therefore, but in common with
every other other citizen in the country, I have
the right to assume the affirmative of this long,
disputed point to be law. Not so with the other.
It is an open question. One, npon which as yet,
each State court has the right to decide for itself.
And in view ofthe contingency, which may arise,
delicacy and propriety require that I shonlci stand
uncommitted.
The head and front of my offending then is, that
I have ventured in the most modest and diffident
terms, to acknowledge that “I am not folly per
snadedin my own mind, as to the expediency of the
movement now making.” For this doubt lam
damued. Well the faith ot Thomas was not strong
as that of the rest of the disciples. Instead of
being rebuked and castigated as I have been, the
Saviour condescended in kindness to the weakness
of bis follower, to afford him more tangible evi
dence of his resurrection. It may be that the first
Mouday in October next, may satisfy me, that I
was too timid- We shall see. The Waterloo de
feat oflBS9 might well create distrust in the heart
of one of the old generals, who participated in the
fight. Solon gave to Greece the best system of
laws which she was prepared to receive. Hence
the permanence, as well as the efficiency of his
celebrated code. It lasted for 4iK) years. Every
wise Legislator will imitate his example. I dreao
the re-actionary effect of premature agitation. A
greater than Solon taught that there "might be a
zeal even in a righteous cause, that was not duly
tempered withdi cretion. I have nolo firmed that
such was the case in the present instance. I inti
mated a doubt only.
In conclusion, I have only to add, that your con
duct in this affair, has stereotyped on my mind,
the truth of the remark which I made before, name
ly. That the friends of Temperance m y retard
the fulfilment of their hopes—it# enemiet cannot.
With due respect, yours.

of Teuedos o-“ p.oeeed" beyond the roads

.. me outbreak of hostilities, the ambassadors
would find themselves in a position to command
the services of the admirals. But, UDtil peace be
actually broken, the Straits are closed by the Con
vention of 1341 against the naval forces of all the
powers, and it is of vital importance to the main
tenance of peace that no sigDal of hostilities should
be given by a departure from the terms of that
agreement. Supposing the Russian government
adheres to the course which it has indicated in its
latest communication to the other powers, it would
seem that some time must still elapse before any
decisive events can oocnr. It wonld not be before
the 20th that orders to commenc. hoetilitiescould
be given, bnt in the meantime, the Rnssian go
vernment will have received from all the principal
States of Europe the strongest remonstrances a
gainst the conduct it has thought fit to pursue.—
ADd the Times is wholly at a loss to conceive what
reply the Russian Cabiuet ia prepared to give to
representations so unanimons, so forcible, and so
true. Ae regards the principalities, should the
Russians ever enter them, it is greatly to be desir
ed that the Turks should remain on UM defensive,

Oirretpondence of the Commercial Advertiser.
19 Ifows by the bls|trt.
le , London, June 10,1858.
There is but little to communicate by this packet,
>- inasmuch as the Turkish question remains in
statu quo, and no other subject is cspsble of at
>r trading the smallest attention.
The union a i opinion on the part of France,
“ England, Austria and Prussia with respect to the
n course to be pursued in case Russia should con
, sumate her threatened outrage, is said to be com
plete, and probably is. The real difficulty of action
11 among their heterogenoc- elements would only
arise when the changes and complications ol actual
g war had presented some temptation to individual
treachery.
Up to the present time Russia has not given the
slightest sign of an intention to draw beck. The
brigand like character of the offence she meditates
still prevents people from believing that she will
persist in it in the face of the world. At the same
time it is pointed oat that the determination she
has thus tar shown to commence the attack with
out any ground of complaint to serve even as a
a pretended justification for it, is the most alaiming
feature of the affair. If there was anything upon
which a concession could be made to her, much of
» the difficulty would be removed; but the demand
, is simply for the surrender of a nation’s inde
pendence and lor an answer yes or no. #
9 The position of England in the matter is painfu
to those who desire that she should Keep herself
I aloof from all the wretched contests into which the
- European continent is evidently dest ned, in one
t form or another, to be for a long period plunged.
t Otherwise the character of the aggression is so
wanton, the reckless disturbance of the peace
i of the world so mendacious, and his perfidy in re
-1 ceutly instructing his ambassadors to give assur
, slices that he had no designs against Turkey so
g>eat, that a very strong sentiment of indignation
is lelt.
It is remarked, however, that England is now
pursuing a directly opposite policy to that which
she maintained in the case of Hungary. She suffer
'd i.assia to attack that country, whoso indepen
dunce was much more definite than thatof Turkey,
1 .lid refused to move a hand, although the Hunga
i rians hal an army in the field capable actually of
t contending with Austria and Russia together. She
bad also the knowledge that the Magyars were fel
r low Protestants. Yetafter having looked on upon
r this inquiry she enters, —or possibly may enter —
r into war to support the independence of Turkey
against that very power whose first aggression she
I had thns tolerated, although this independence
l can at best be but a fiction, and the people of the
. country are altogether powerless to help them
, selves, and instep of being co-religionists are Ma
hometans.
To persons of strict Christian views of thecourso
the propriety ot our having abstained from war
even in the case of Hangary is unquestionable;
but these views do not operate absolutely with
. statesmen. Looking at the question os one simply
of common policy ur international morality, it is to
be remembered that entangling treaties exist in
the present case which no not operate in the other.
During the last few days the effect of all tho
prevailing uncertainties upon the funds has been
considerable, as well as in some descriptions of
Russian produce. It is curious, however, that the
quarter whence the communications are least a
larming is St. Petersburg. From Constinoplo,
Vienna, and Odessa ac-ounts daily arrive of the
reported movements ofthe Russian army toward
the frontier, and of tho menacing tone of all the
representations regarding tho determination of the
Czar. But at St. Petersburgh trade appears as yet
to have been scarcely disturbed, and the orde rs
sent to English houses for the purchase ot cotton,
<fcc., seem to indicate an absence of any greatanx
iety. Little stress, bowever, can be laid upon this,
since political information, even as to what is
passing at their own doors, would of course only
reach the inhabitants of that city when it had be
come known to the whole world.
In Parliament there has been nothing new. Tho
India bill is under disonssion, but continues to be
viewed with great coldness, and even if it should
pass the feebleness exhibited in it will have tend
ed greatly to damage the repute of the Ministry.
The anticipations expressed that the recent rise
in the rate or disoonnt tothree-and-a-helf per cent,
by tho Bank of England would have no adverse
effect on tho discount market have been fully real
ized. Money is abundant, the best paper having
in some instances been negotiated at three per cent,
and but for the Turkish question, a feeling of gen
eral confidence and animation might be expected
to manifest itself.
Consols at the last date were at 98%, and they
have since experienced a heavy fall, the quotation
having dropped this evening to 97%. On the Pa
ris Bourse the decline in all descriptions of secu
rities has bjen far more severe than here, a com
pletc panic having prevailed during the last two
day s. The possibility that the Russian ports iu the
Baltic may soon be in a state of blockade has a fa
vorablo effect upon the grain market, and the rise
in wheat reported by the last packet is fully main
tained. Spectator.
The uncertainty in regard to the Turkish ques
tion kept up some degree of excitement in the
stock market, and the English funds bad been
Belling during tho preceding week at a depression
of from 2 to 8 per cent, below the current rates of
many weeks preceding, aDd on the 10th a fraction
lower than on any preceding day. On the Paris
Bourse the depression was somewhat greater.—
Consols for the account wero quoted on the last
day at 97% to 98. Four and a half per cents, not
reimbursable for 10 years, at Paris, June 9, lOlf.
50c. to 102 f. Three per oents. 76t. 80c. to 76f.

says nnder date of 3 o’clock, P. M., that parties
on the Stock Exchange, who work tho telegraph
from Pur.s daily, are selling stock in largo amounts
from which it was inferred that tho news received
at Paris from St. Petersburg, was unfavorable.—
To this was attributed the depression on that day.
The money market, however, presented an easy
appearance, in consequence of the large repay
ments by tho Chancellor oftheExechequer ot al
vanccs made in Jane last. There was an active
demand, and the decline in the prico of money
which hud appeared on the preceding day, was
checked by the current rumors, particularly the
announcement that the French and English fleets
had been ordered to act in concert. The following
are tho latest advices from the Continent:
By Submarine Telegraph.
Paris, Friday, 9 A. M.—The Monitenr announ
ces that the French and English governments have
decided that their united squadrons should ap
proach the Dardanelles without further delay, and
that orders were forwarded on the 4th of this month
for Admirals do la Susse and Dunlas. It adds,
that this measure of precaution does not exclude
the hope of a pacific settlement of the actual diffi
culties.
Buron Bruck, the Austrian Ambassador, must
have left Trieste on the sth instant for Constanti
nople. Ho was to be conveyed on board the frigate
Gnstozza.
Prince Gortsohakoff has been appointed to the
chief command of the Russian army in Bessarabia.
The postcriptto a letter, dated Paris, Thursday
evening, says: “Since writing tho above I havo
heard that dispatches from St. Petersburg, dated
the Ist, confirm the fact of a new delay iiaving
been granted to the Porte by the Emperor of Rus
sia, who, it appears, is'determined to reject all of
fers of intervention. Another letter ot tho same
date, received by a friend, speaks of the intention
on the part of a distinguished Russian of setting
out lor Paris, and passing the winter there. This
last fhet, if correct, would rather show that no ap
prehensions of war -wero entertained at St. Peters
burg.”
France.—Paris, Thcrbdat Evening.—The Ca
binet Councils at St. Cloud are frequent and long.
Yesterday ministers met at 11 o’clock, and remain
ed sitting till past 4. What tho principal subject
of their deliberations is, it is not difficult, under
present circumstances, to guess. It is said that
while the same difference of opinion as of old ex
ists between M. de Persigny and M. Fouid, the
majority are of opinion to do all that is possible
“consistently with honor,” for the maintenance of
peace and to support the Turks if tho Russians
should occupy the Ottoman territory. Intentions
aro attributed to the government to form two
camps, one near the Belgian frontier, tho other on
the Rhine, in the environs of Strasburg; the ru
mor of calling out a largo foroo, should the situa
tion become more complicated, is again circulated.
Another Cabinet Council was held this day at St.
Cloud, and was sitting at 4 o’clock. About 800
seamen passed to-day through Paris for Brest, and
en route for Toulon. It is inferred from thiß cir
cumstance that a reinforcement will be sent to
the fleet commanded by Admiral la Shsse. Let
ters from Toulon state that a vessel there is taking
in provisions and stores for the use of the squad
ron. The utmost expedition is employed, ana she
is expected to sail immediately.
Burners were in simulation to day that dispatch
es from Vienna announce that the Austrain go
vernment had refused to mediate between Russia
and Constantinople; that tho Emperor of Russia
had approved the conduct of Prince Menschikoff,
and had declared he would receive no ambassador
from Cons autinople, and the preparations for hos
tilities were going on. It iB impossible to say how
far these rumors are correct, as they cannot be
traced to a good source.
A telegraphic dispatch, dated Vienna, yesterday,
says: “M. ■ ajerudorf, the Rnssian Ambassador,
has just arrived here from St. Petersburg with in
telligence from the imperial court. have
been received to-day from Constantinople viaSem
lin, to the Ist June. The state of aflairs at Pera
remained unchanged. A firm assurance was still
felt of a pacific solution ; armaments were never
theless continuing on both sides. The Russians
had not passed the Pruth on the 4th.”'
There is along article from the pen'of M. Gre
nier de Cassagnac in the Conatitntionnel of this
day, on the Eastern question. The writer pro
fesses a conviction that there will bo no interrup
tion of peace, ne shows the interest which the
other powers of Europe have iu resisting any at
temp at aggression in the East on the part of Rus
sia; expresses a belief that they will perceive that
interest, and remember the obligations imposed
upon them by considerations of honor, and con
cludes that Russia, in the presence of the accord
of the other powers, will withdraw herpretensions.
The London Times of the 9th contains an ex
planation of announcement made on a preceding
d.av, that Count Nesselrode, the son of the Rus
sian Chancellor, had arrived in London, audthat
a messenger had been despatched from {it. Petera
burgh to Constantinople to address another sum
mons to the Porte, which probably exhibits a cor
rect explanation of the actual state of the ques
tion between the Russian Emperor and the Sultan.
“ The courier sent to Constantinople is a mero
messenger or feldjager, who is the bearer of a
peremptory demand to the Tnrkish Government
to .-ign within a week the last-draught note pro
posed by Prince Menschikoff ; and, in the event
ot a further refusal on tlijj part of the Turkish
Ministers, the Russian Govern meat does not dis
semble its intention forthwithto enter and occupy
the DanuhiaD Principalities. At the same time,
this measure is represented as one of coercion
rather than of conquest, and, iu the very act of
utterin; this sort of menace, Russia distinctly
repudiates the imputation of territorial aggran
dizement, and denies thaLshe is an&pated by any
desire for the overthrow of the Turkish Empire.
1: this be ail the feldjtger now an his way to
Constantinople, has to say—or rather If this be the
purport ot the despatches which he carries—it
,ear *® little room for negotiation there, and, unless
a. sudden change has come over the Divan, he will
carry back the same answer, which was given the
-Ist of May, to a more dignified personage.
It is farther remarked that the Count was at

Weekly Report Tuesday, P. M.
COTTON.—We have had another very quiet week in the
Cotton market, the consequence of the probabilities of a
war in Europe. The Baltic’s accounts, which came to
hand yesterday by telegraph, have, however, restored the
confidence of holders to a greit extent, and they are now
sanguine of a steady and improving market in Liverpool.
Shippers, however, hold off, and the market continues
quiet, though there have been some unimportant transac
tions at about 10# cents for a good style of Good Mid
dling. The transactions are too limited to; authorise quo
tations.
The receipts are very light, and the stock is diminish
ing, which, with the very general complaints of the
drouth and the backwardness of the growing ersp, in
crease the confidence of holders.

TRADE AND BUSINESS continues dull, though fair for
the season.
GROCERIES.—There is little doing in the Grocery
trade. The operations continue to be confined to the fill
ing of small country orders. The stocks are ample for
the season, and prices have undergone no change. We,
therefore, refer to our quotations as a fair index of the
current rates.
PROVISIONS.—The Bacon market is very dull, and pri
ces have declined, in consequence of the very limited de
mand and large stock on sale. Our quotations have been
made to correspond to the current rates. In Flour we
note no change. The supply is abundant and demand
limited.
GRAIN.—Corn is becoming scarce, which, with the
very disastrous drouth have had the effect of advancing
prices. It commands readily 66 cents, sacks included.
The demand for Wheat continues good at our quotations.
EXCHANGE—The rates for Checks on the North are %
sct. prem.
FREIGHTS—The rates have undergone no change.
The River is barely navigable for light draft Steamers
with moderate freights.

Extract of letter* received per Niagara .
LIVERPOOL, June 10. —We beg reference to our advices
of the 8d inst., Asia, which reports our Gotton market
as closing that day somewhat irregular in rates, with sales
of 70JO bales, and offerings free. On Saturday, the desire
to realize wan more strongly manifested and to make salea
concessions bad to be submitted to, which, however, failed
to influence extended transaction!, and the business did
not exceed 40UO bales. The Cambria’s advices were to
hand on Monday morning, but although favorable to
holders’s views, the market continued to be amply sup
plied with choice, and buyers acted with reserve, which
limited operation* to 6000 bales. Tuesday’s business was
rrstricted to 5010 bales, the market still wearing a heavy
aspect. The Baltic arrived that evening; her advices
caused more inquiry on Wednesday, and some large
speculative operations swelled the sales that day to 10,000
ba!e*, without, however, advancing the rates previously
urrent, holders still meeting the demand freely, which
course was also the railing feature yesterday, but with less
disposition on the part of buyers to operate, resulting in
s lies of 6000 bales, the market closing tamely and without
animation. We continue our last quotations, remarking,
however, that where sales are desired it would be difficult
to move any quantity at the figures.
The total sales of the week amount to 48,078 bales, of
which 11,190 are to speculators and 2970 to exporters,and
include 82,760 bales of American, of which 10,900 are to
speculator and 2110 are to exporters, leaving 29,860 bales
of all kinds to the trade.
The imports for the same time 48,078 bales, of which
42,654 arc American.

There is no mitigation in the spirit of the warlike news
from the Continent to-day, wh ch acts prejudicially on
trade, and affects public securities of all descriptions.
Cotton is not an exception to the general rule, and our
market closes depressed with an abundant offering at Ir
regular rates. Sales estimated at 60U0 bales, of which 1000
are to speculators and exporters.
The Board of Trade returns, showing an increase in the
value of our exports of nearly 45 $ cent for the month, as
compared with that of April, will convey some idea of the
prosperous state of trade in this country. Had not this
been interrupted by the warlike preparations on the Conti
nent, there is no doubt the recent advices from the States
would have had an important influence on our Cotton mar
ket this we» k, but being entirely overruled by these con
siderations, created a mingled feeling of uneasiness and
alarm not very easy to define. .Europe has enjoyed peace
so long tjiat it is difficult to bring our minds to contemplate
war in any form, and hence many repudiate the possibility
of its taking place. The firm attitude of contending par
ties assumed by each, and the activity displayed by both,
far an early contest,'warrant the expression of serious fears
for the result, notwithstanding the language employed by
the leading journal of this country, (not concurred in by
other and influential of the press) to dispel such appre
hensions, and which naturally excite caution and engender
a want of confidence; until these fears are allayed or re
moved we cannot expect a different complexion to exist
ing state of affairs. Money matters are reported to be
ea y in London, but we hear it is in contemplation again
to advance the Bank rate, should political differences last
much longer. The rates of insurance for Black Sea and
Baltic risks have been raised two or three hundred $ cent
on former premiums.
In Manchester the same causes have a similar efiect with
less dispostion on the part of buyers to extend orders,
whilst spinners, Ac., endeavoring to secure them on slightly
easier terms for yarns, are suitable for export, but the
.•mount of fresh engagements are understood to be trifling.
The home demand is steady, and rather an extensive busi
ness has transpired, without much variation in price. The
disputes with the operatives continue to be a source of
complaint, and it is extending itself to other manufacturing
districts. The Cotton porters of Liverpool have also struck
for an advance of 12 $ ce it on their wages, since Monday
last, work, in many instances being at a stand in conse
quence.
The Corn market has raled firm since our last, although
the speculative feeling has subJded for the present, no
doubt checked by the high pretensions of holders. Wheat
has been in good consumptive demand, and fresh P a *[ceLi
(to wh ch the inquiry is confined) must be quoted 2d@Sd
#7O IDs. higher during the week. Flour fully supports
I revious currency, although the transactions are less ex
tensive Indian Corn is not much inquired for, but value
is unchanged. The late rains have much improved the
srrowing crops, although backward, progress favorably,
*nd a settlement of the Turkish question might cause a
reaction in present prices of Breadstuff* generally. To
day’s market was only moderately attended, and the con
sumptive demand for both Wheat and Flour limited. Se
veral large parcels of the latter changed hands on specu
lation, and extreme prices for both were obtained. Indian
Corn was a little more in demand.
N. Y. Monky Mahkct, Saturday, June 25.—Letters by
the Li . erpool steamer do not indicate any serious alarm
among the best informed capitalists on the other side in re
gard to the European troubles, and oar market has assum
ed more steadiness.
In our notice of a commun : cation addressed to us by
one of the resident Stockholders of the American Exchange
Bank in regard to a supposed disregard of the interests of
the fitockho ders on the subject of the privilege offered of
taking new stock, we stated that the directors should have
issued a circular containing the necessary information.
We now Itarn that such circular was sent to every stock
holder out of the city, whose address could be ascertained.
It wa* supposed that resident stockholders would be suf
ficiently informed through the public advertisements.
We are glad to learn that the United States Mail Steam
ship Company have declared a dividend payable on the
