PKIFIIiUI, I I.lf. 21, Ihsß -and rngn of the ruui sellers. It appears that pinions have been ad dressed to the Legislaturef New York now in session, begging die enactment ot la" 8 in teferenee to the traffic in ardent spirits, similar to those which have been rttint y, and with such salutary results,carried into effect In the State of Maine. In accordance with the prayer of Ihe petitioners, the legis lature began the consideration of the sub j, et of a bill embracing ‘he necessary prov is -I„,S having been reported In tlm house. I'hu liquor dealers of ~Vvv York city, learn-1 [no that the source of their gains was u. d.moer of being cut off,congregated in large (lumbersand took it upon themselves to m f„r,n the legislature that the passage of the bill would be the occasion of violence and bloodshed; that the men who should be .■.ctivi- in the matter would be marked men ; .•Hid that any attempt to execute sucli a law if p use I, would be attended with a commo li.ui li tie short of civil war. Ami has it come to this? Has this ac cursed traffic grown so powerful and im pudent that it, attempts with threats of vio- ■ lenee to repel legislation. Is tl.is America,! tin- Uui ed States, and are the representa tives of a free people to be iiiiiniidated ny -ucli lie-pel', does ? For ourselves, we have j no fear of any thing serious from the wrath of j the traffickers, should the bill b;couie a law. Their consciences would be against tlii'in, and men cannot iff. et much against | such opph-i'ion. It remains to be seen! whether the New York r- presentative.su ill j be deterred by sucli threats from the per lonnai.ee of what they believe to be their du'y. The truth is, that there are more States than New York iu which the law makers j are afraid of the rum-venders. This dread i prevents us from securing that reformation in the license system, which is so desirable. J Our politicians are afraid of the influence of j these people. Where parties arc pretty j equally divided, these men hold the balance j of power. I’y a system ol treating, bribing, I threatening, &e., they can command not a few votes. These arc invariably east against j the man who dares to do or to say any : thing against their unhallowed business. ! Il is not common, however, for these peo ple to cone! quite so boldly as the liquor dealers of New Aoi k. VVe rejoice that they have lakea such a stand and issued Mieli threats. It must open the eyes of people to the true state of things. WeJ shall now see whether lin n ean he permit ted to carry on a trade vvhieli incr-uises tax ation, multiplies p.iup.-ri-mi and crime; fills up or.r jails and penitentiaries, and then threaten w ith violence any who w ill dare to interfere “i h tin ir traffic. Jt is said that wben an ancient I’retiehcrd. ch imed against idolatry, those who thought their business imperilled hy Midi preaching, began In cry out, “Great i< Diana of llie Ephesians.”— They seized and would have destroyed the I. Mil'll! preacher. Such is the disposition of those w hose business would now be de stroyed, if men would generally become so- ber. But the ancient preacher was not in jured by the rabble. Nor do we apprehend that tile iiti.lit’ul friends of temperance will now sutler from the tumult of their ene mies. T uiporuiice ia Charleston.

We are glad to know that the acee -moiis are of such a nature us to promise great good.— Not a few individuals from the influential | ranks of society have espoused llie refur-j ilia, ion. Now why can there not he a similar re- ( viva! all over our land? Wo are persuaded, ihiit to accomplish this result, it is only in cessary lor nurfrh uds to make the reqiii site ilfort. It is searei ly possible for men lo have their attention fixed upon the appal ling evils with which intempe.aiice is lining Die land, without resolving that tin y will do something for the abatement of so direful a c.damny. Let a man examine the records of crime, ami remember that truthful stalis iics declare iliat a majority of crimes are per petrated under the inlbk iice of ardent spir its: let him investigate the reports ot pan- ( perism and bear tu recollec-ioit that tarecj fourths of the pod r.y vvhieli nffliets the land isdue directly or ivmoli ly to the cthc.s ot si l ong drink ; let him examine the fearful a"’. ’ regate ofnuman w rcleln dness in its mill lipled forms which every year is rolling up, ami consider how much the terrible mass is I swollen by this one eallse, and he must be wofully desliute of every generous, of ev ery humane feeling, il he dues not put lortli some exertion for the arrest and extinction of ills so terrible. self-control. A writer whose wisdom has been eele i br.ited for many cen mies, has decLred that j tlie man who governs himself, achieves a ; imbli r triumph than tile conqueror of cities. The importance of self-emiiro I is a ilientc .vliieh is in 1 lie mouth of every body. The sehoiil buy in Ids juvenile attempts at orato ry, the puli ieiaii upon the stump, ilie minis ter of the gospel io tile sanctuary, may all be heard declaim ig upon the value of self government. And even tlie miserable slave id'pissi tn or of appe ite will exhori his friend to cherish thi - principle. But, notwithstanding all this declamation, i how tv w men , ir e iff re, wl.o can be said to ! cxeicise a proper self-control? There are many things which m .ke such riding diffi cult U c shall mention two or three, that those who aspire to this excellence may know the points upon which it become* them to be especially guarde . j T | le very fact that self is the subject of this discipline makes it difficult. Every man is biassed in favor of his own opinions, his own habits, and his own preferences. His natural self-love disposes him to look with leniency upon his own delinquencies. In dulgences which would be deemed wholly inaduiissable in others, are readily tolerated in himself. Me may flatter himself that he is acting with the most rigid impartiality, that lie is even exercising over his own de portment i jealousy wiili which he would not scrutinize Ilie aerions of others, at the same time viewing his conduct through that distorted medium which self-love rarely fails to create, he forms an estimate singu larly unfair of his real character. 2. Self-control is difficult because it im plies self-denial. Mow hard is it tor the in ebriate to refuse an appetite which is crav ing the stimulus to which it lias been so long addicted! Mow difficult it is lor the avaricious man to deny his passion tor the acquisiiion and retention ot money to such an extent as to restrain within the boiquts 1 of justice, his efforts to gratify his temper! I How imrd for the man of vindictive feelings jlo repress the temper which leads hit* to I revenge himself for a real or supposed j injury which may have been inflicted upon I him ! To control desires which are periet mdlv clamoring fur indulgence, to impose a veto upon the most powerful propensities jof our nature, implies a victory which can j only be attained through earnest, ajid jierse vering effort. 3.

Orpliau Asylum iu Auguste’ We are gratified to learn that !ll^e^|r'Ul■s i, will be taki n to build an Asylum far children in the City of Augusta, undegfl I'roNi-nons of nn J,n • I ly granted by the Legislature.

Tliis will be equal to SHDU per svnjl num. In addition they have granted a Ijtt upon tlie Commons for the erection oflhe buildings. This is a nobltt ehatiiy. If there are any persons who liav™a claim upon our sympathies surely it is those who, in the providence of Gad, have been deprived of tlu-ir natural protectors and who are thrown upon the world at till age when they are en tirely too young and incxpi rienced to make provisions for their own wants. We hope to see the Augusta movement followed up until a home is made fur all the poor or phans in the State. < bailee in Postage.
