[communicated.] I went Inst night, Mr. Editor, to tho meeting of the Temperance Society to hoar the subject debated, whether it was constitutional for tliv Legi-laturc to pass an act t-> stop the retail of anient spirits. I there heard two voiy good tenqieranco addresses, but nothing to convince any ouu cither of lliu con stitutionality or noucoustiluiioualiiy.of such no ucl. For tny part, I think it would require but n very short argument to prove licit the Legislature hu* tlie power to pass such an net. No ono will doubt hut shu has tho power to impose a tux of thirty dollar* ou every retailer of spirit*. If shu then has the right of imposing a tax of thirty dollar# on tho re tailer, why nut tho right of making tbnl tax throe thousand dollars 7 Whnt, impose n lux of tbreo thousand dollar* on an honest citizen who makes Ills honest living, nut ouly bv inducing too many of our citizens (who would be useful members of soci ety if it were not for tlioso honest men) to become vagabonds; but induce our slaves to pilfer every tiling they can luy their bunds ou, and even stmt themselves of their weekly ulluwuuco to barter it witlt these behest num for spirits—nud, would you believe it Sir, these very linurst men who are mak ing vagabonds of some of our useful citizens, nnd de moralizing our slaves, have the rule nt this time of our city. To prove this, I only lmvo to refer to tlie veto on tlie resolution offered at the last meeting of Council—I mean the oatli prescribed by luw for every retailer to tuko. Do you think. Sir, if it were not for such calculations us those (that the proprie tor of such a grog shop is good for fifty vote*, and of such in ono for thirty, and so on; und if wo vote for that outli to be administered to retuilers wc shall luso their influence, and consequently lose our elec tion,) that we would huvu such an act passed by our Legislature, nullified by our City Council, und n motion made by ono who voted fur the nullification of the net, for thu voio to he recorded nud publish ed with ucts of Council. They not only liuvo the rule of our city, hut Sir, I can bring up n case to show you that they are more favored lliuii our me* cliunic* or nny other cln*s of people. Tla*ro is a certain industrious mechunic in tills place who put up u shop to work in, for which Im wus reported to Council and fined one hundred dollars, or he must pull down tlio simp; but suppose, snys tin: mecha nic, I do nut pull dmvu tho simp, but turn it into u Negro dram simp, will Ithcii la? fined? Ob! no, •ays llio-o in authority. Now tell mu which is the most likely to set ilia town un fire, u un-clmuic’s shop—which wo ull know is only used from sunriso to sunset—or a Negro dram shop, whir It is kept open until9 o'clock ut night, with drunken negroes about it smoking their segars 7 Rut we ure told wo lmvo laws now to prevent these liutiosl retailers from trading with our tiegruus: no wu h ive, but can wc hnvc them inform! n* long ns men in office are dependent upon tlie reiuiler for hi* re-election to any office—u case in point.

I think this is enough to wake up our slaveholders, und let tln-in put such men in olfiru as will lmvo our luws executed, and uur mechanics, thut they may put such men in office as will put them on a footing at least, with the iff-gro drum shop keeper.

Sir. it is not trim, as tliis writer " lias learned," that any " attack” Wns made up-ut " tlm motives” of tho Conned, nnd tlmi they were " held up to public indignation.” The vo'e of Council on thn mdinnnro -llu led to, was most freely canvassed—and will this writer contend that they uciod out of tlie sphere nf duty!

For the sake of conveni ence I will adopt the plan whii-h he hnt pursued- •' The first question is, wu* there any obligation on tho City iiuthmiiie* to enact such a law 7” A quib ble lias been resorted to fur the purpose of showing that this olilign'ion did not exist. Rut I would a«k, who her the fact, thnl tin* sole rrgiilstinn and puwc of grunting license*, under such i tiles nnd regulation* n« linnt time to lime may seem advisable, ure given to tin: Corp irnti in of the City, dissolves tho ohliga. •ion resting on Cooocil, to iururporate, into its or dinances this " additional cuord” which lias boon thrown around tho out of 1833.

You will peiceivo thut thu Lcgi-lnture h*s passed net, requiring an outli to be taken iu certain cusos. Thu object of iliu Legislature wus tlm sup. pressimi of crime, and w liiclqtts nn lie ho Stuto I conceive tho Council had nn authority or powur to rej< et it; they were most solemnly bound to I hi n * it, hi!i'iiu*» tlio evil among os, lliu suppression of which was contamplaicd by the l.eg.shituio, is iinincnto, and is coiuimmlly grow ing morealurming. Thu greut object of the Suite act has In-eu defeated, by ihi* unexpected conduct on the purl of Council. The whnln nthur.iy of tlm Legislature has beon-sut hshIo by this unprecedented prun-dura. Tlm obli gation on Council to incorporate this act into its or d'ounces, cunnot Im tlius slighted nnd thrown oil’. Tlm virtuous und moral portion of tlm community will fix it upon them, whether it lie acknowledged or not. But it is also said, that the law would only be tlm means of increasing crime—tlmt honest retail- it* of spirits would refuse to take the oath, retire from tlm business, and leave it iu the hand* of un principled* men, who would take tlie oath only to violulo it. On such « grave subject us this, to at tempt to bolslrr up u tottering cause, by such a flimscy argument n* tlii*. is well calculated to de feat tho very end of tho writer. Docs Im not see, that tliis objection lies against nil law ) 'I'll it thn Legislature or tlm Council could not stir a step in enacting any law, and tlmt the pri -ciplo of this olr- jcction curried out in nil it* length and breadth, would forbid tlm pii**iigo of any luw for tlto puiti*h. mint of any offender 7 Here lor example is thu murderer. Tho argument would lead us to ex punge Itom tho statute book, every word on tliis subjuct, and vvhy7 because if a luw is passed, it may be broken. The person who commits murder, may hire witnesses, who will perjure thsmselvcs, and swear that it was in sfllf.iluli-n- e, when it was premeditated, witlt malice aforethought. Tbits lulls to the ground this formidable objection amid " the ashes of” crushed " hopes und affections." Mark the consistency of this writer. He says thattlioro is n staint" of tho Stuto, which prohibit* retailers from selling liquor to slave*, nnd that ho who violates it, " con und ought to bo punished.” Why. "honest shopkeepers” then can liml no dilfi- cu.ty iu tuking tlm outli. If they are honest now, acting in obodiancu to existing laws on this subject • why should they retire from ih« busiim**, when they nro simply called on to confirm by an oath, wli »t a» honest men they already do. Tho fuel thut they yield up then business rather titan tuko this outli, it full proof—the # v«-ry highest and host proof—lint they nro now acting iu the very fare ot tlm statute. And no ono who lots a mind to think, can for n mo ment doubt, thut by tlm lute voteol Council, tlicit hand* liuvo been strungtlmned, and t"«if heart* oil rour.igi-d, to porsevero in thoir unholy and demo ralising traffic. There is ono advantage, which this writer never sooius to liuvo thought •>!. .Ifthe ordinance which wu* negatived Ity tho railing vote of tlie Mayor, hs 1 been |m*ss*l. tlm individual or individuals violating it, would have liren indictable under the atutulo for pmjuqs and a lew example* thus made, would soon d«-tet ollR'rs flout following in their track. Fir, this is ■ question which deeply concerns uvery unit. Il« who docs anything, (and ••specially a public servant,) to retard tlm reforms* lion of society on tb* subject of dram drinking, and dram selling, must esp«<t tlm weight nf public re probation to rest upon Idm.

I add now, upon tlm authority or two of tlie momlmr# of the Legislature from lid* county, tlmt at the tint.: ol'ilic passage of the law, nnd whilst it wns under discus sion, it wn« expressly declined by its friends nnd advocates, that it hail no nhiiion to Cities, and was not intended la nffrcl th- m; lint it w ns int n- ded to operate- alone iqion thn country giog shop*, which bring alar off from the pnhlin eye, were more iliiiiiioroits nn«l more In he dreaded limit lliine under the vigilant in-pect mu of city olfii-ert, and of iiuim-r- on* pn«-crsby.
