Hut here art the extracts ; The prohibitory law of New Y’ork took effect on Wednesday !a.st Ir. ■he larger cities it was not g-n a rally regarded on that day. 7h Triie;rr states that rumeelline Comished in New York and Brook lyn, but the number of drunken person* wa* less ilcbotfi) to (Trni|jfrancf, feature, intelligence, anb tljc fittest Jlttos. , than at previous anniversaries Ytayor WoaiV con ‘ siruction of the law virtually nullifies its actior in Now Aor' lie !*> • -ueemnlied to ihc mm Interest at la-r. i I The Syracuse Journal -ay.-: Last year, on the morning of the sth c-t ,’ ,lv, thir - 1■ ’ ji.air, forlorn-looking customers, who hud celebra ted tin- “glorious fourth with too much were , released from our city watch-house ; yesterday, fir only of tin ,-ainc sort were found ther. I From the .Seneca Courier: j Y esteiday was the day for the prohibitory liquor law’ to tali.- full effect, and so far rs we are informed t.he retail liquor dealers in this village submitted to it by banishing entirely from their bars and shops all intoxicating beverages. The good effects of this were observed in the quiet and order that prevailed ‘ during the entire • liy. and the absence of the dis gusting scene- with which we have been familiar on each former recurrence of our national anniversary. Let the law be sustained, and. such w ill alvvavs la the case. * We did not see an intoxicated person du ring the day,a fact which speaks well for the “Maine Law.” The Canandaigua I'imwt, alti.i noticing the two j addresses given in that place, adds: All appeared to he highly gratified, and the coca-1 sion passed off with little disorder. Oeßsionallv j some poor wretch was taken to jail, sometime* on : foot, and sometimes drawn in a cart, too much intox- j inn ted to be capable of locomotion; but we are in-! formed by older residents that the change in this re- j sped from former years was greatly tor the better. 1 We arc sorry to say, however, that, all otir hotels did not show that regard to law and order that was to be expected, but that some of them violated ht’ th by selling intoxicating drinks during the greater part of the day, and only eosed when the evil became so apparent that they and ire riot do otherwise. from the Chronicle we learn that there was no i drunkenness at Jordan, on the fourth; that at Me-; ri'lian in this county, “the day passed without any ! open sale, and w it hout a single case of drunkenness;’’ j that in Oswego, “there was no drunkenness or other; disorders, ns has been too often the case at those cel ebrations.” From the Lyons Whig: There was no formal celebration in this viilag. on j the Ith ; but almost every body took some sort of recreation on his private account, and considerable : numbers from the rural districts visited us. But, a ! new thing under the sun, there was no brawling, nor 1 disturbance of any kind, and not a drunken man was | seen during the day, so far as we could learn. Those I disposed, had their s-pi oe on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday morning all whs quiet. Every bar in | the village wa*- closed; and we understand those! who have been in the Traffic have quit it finally.— i This is creditable, and we sincerely trust that noth-1 ing may cause (hern to change their goad intentions. • AY e are sure if our village can remain frt- ■ from • /drunkenness for three months, none w ill w ish to re-. turn to the reign of dram-selling, ix.ept .some moral I outlaws, who long since ought to have become ac. I quaiuted with the geological formate ns of Auburn. From the Poughkeepsie Examiner: So far hs we can learn, (here was not a drop of li- ; quor sold in this city on thi 4th. A little was, no j doubt, drank, but it had been previously procured ; 1 and gieut caution was cxerciecd in keeping the ef fects of such drinking from view in the streets and ;in other public places. ,So that we must here do ; that which w c arc not much j tl the habit of doing, ;vu: compliment our liquor dealers for their obser vancc of the law. And we hop- they Ln*e thus been ! taught a lesson which they will not soon forget— ’that their husines- is a-, unnecessary one—that li- j quor do-- not make people patriotic, and that the! . fourth of July can he celebrated without its a>d. From the Randolph Whig: The Prohibitory was generally observed, wet brlievc. \\ e neither-vm nor heard of a drunken I i person during the day. All was quiet .-.d peacea- j , ble, and amid the crowd, there were few r fumes of ‘; liquored breaths, than om would notice on an ordi- ; ; nary busire-vs day. It is true there were limit-find- ! j ing , and scoffing-- that Ir.d<*pendence dnv should be celebrated, v. h*-n the right to s’ 11, buy, or drink li ! quor, was dertii and them, but it all ended, like the fir-! ing >f the booming car.non in nooks. No doubt, j } .it was a long, dreary day, to a few “old soakers,” hut; Jwe are mistaken if the greater amount of hapjiiness i I nt the hoeie-circh; that night, was not ample coni-: pen-atio!; for the ohwtuo r.ee from liquor-drinkingdu -1 ring the day | We have gathered from our exchanges, all the. ‘farts p i'-ible in relation to the tir*.f day’s o(<eration ;of the law It: our ..wn city, liquor wa.- sold openly ! at the American, and at I tartlet tV underground grog igery, [•■■ ond-r if the xner of Stanford Block expects [to rent'-u oodergr und /roggeries after the ,-s-cond ‘ advent'-i but •:* >l*l f sident Uifornm Us, that intweu ty year-. *herc i a i. *t been g little disturbance on the 4th; and more people were in town that day, than have ever -.n at any one time during our -••vf-n y ears’ri.-sidclw- here.

Not many days since, h young mmi mis cutiiiiud in our county jail tor a misdemeanor of .some sort, - j committed while his brain wa.* maddened with, the j ninise.ller’s poi. on He had friends w ho, on learning how he was situated, offered to pay (he sum which . the law required tor hi liberation. “1 cannot go j with you now, 1 said he, “I hall yield to temptation, j and then 1 may be sent back for a worse deed than I ! have yet committed. Let rm remain here until the | fourth of July. 1 hen they cannot sell me any more 1 rum, and 1 shall noi again disgrace my manhood, and lose the confidence and respect of friends."— Then- is no fiction in this. It is only on- of th*- uiany equally startling results of the accursed traffic, | made more impressive hy a nearer view. Incarceration in a jail preferred fn freedom amid i : the devilish influences of the liquor traffic! YVhatj a compliment to rumsellers! The society of felons less to he dreaded than their own! Timt young man is right. YVt honoi him in his present position, and with a heart throbbing with kindliest emotions, would we welcome him hack to the path of rectitude ! and happine-s from w hich he has boon so cruelly j driven. For him we have words of love and hope; i ■ but for those who would still live and fatten upon j j the price of his ruin, ue can only s#Vi “Lord, have I • mercy upon wretches so utterly depraved!’’ The above incident claims the attention of every j candid reader. Here i- a case where a prohibitory law brings blissful expectations to one crushed heart. Here w e listen to the glad cry of one slave, who feels 1 i the grinding fetter- already loosening upon bis limbs. lls there anything in all the bogus objection urged i against the men-tire which thus comes like an angel! of hope to the desponding inebriate, which this sin gle argument, so powerful in it truthfulness, does i not entirely annihilate? Demagogues may talk of] personal right- trampled upon ; politicians may prate I of the overthrow ot party by fanaticism; editors may scribble columns ot nonsense about u monstrous en actment (an imaginary phantom of their own crea tion) which interferes with a man’s right of eating and drinking whatever he chooses; n few lawyers (whose “opinions ‘ may be justly termed golden ones) may attempt to weaken truth by legs! doses of their own preparing; but can they make honest and in telligent men believe what they themselves know, j ■ and what experience everywhere proves, to be false: i The people considered the claims now offered by I tlies- disinterested gen tinmen, when they rume If. -h t from th- lip: of the drunkard and drunkard maker ; at.d at the ;.allot box, last tall, a verdict of condem ; nation was pronounced upon them by a majority I vote of the State. The decision wa- like the fir. A | sunbeam that smiles away the gloorn of a long, dark I night. Suffering ones forgot the poverty and blight j which rum had brought to their homes and hearts. | The fountain of their misery was soon to b- dried j up, and then love and happiness would again return ;to the hesrthsidr. They .taw that such would bn the j legitimate result of the finale of liquor-telling, and ; none but the most thoughtless or unprincipled op- i ! ponents of prohibition w ill long.-r contradict a con- ’ | elusion so natural and plain. The advocates of the | traffic may present all the sophistry and falsehood ! | that avarice and the worst passions of the human ‘ mind can dictate, but the tide of popular sentiment | will set more fiercely against them as these glorious ’ anticipations arc realized, ami a shout of thanksgiv j ing ascends from the full heart of a people delivered | from the unmitigated curse of inti-mperat.c . j “ I hen they cannot sell me any more rim.!” Thank <lod ’ w hen to-day's sun disappears behind the west ern hills, night will tall like a death pull upon the bloated, blackened corse of the doomed traffic. To morrow, he who makes his neighbor drunk, is a criminal, in tin- eye of the law, as well as in the sight !of Jehovah. How many desolate homes will be changed to Edens of b!i“, where no serpent lurks to ! destroy! seraph-voices will whisper cheering words I in the ears of thousands, returning from their shame to honorable manhood.

IT IS RIGHT 1 j YVi contend that it i- eminently right and proper that thf-liquor traffic should be brought to the test jof public opinion through tie- ballot box, from the : fart that it can only be removed by the Legislature ‘elected through the same medium.

Always! In the child, the maiden, with the w ife, mother, religion shines a holy benignant beauty of its own which nothing on eart h can mar. Never vet was the fi male character complete without the steady faith of piety. Beauty, wealth, and in tel loot! they arc all pit falls, dark in the brightest day, unless re ligion throws her divine beams around them to pu rify and exalt, making twice glorious that which seemed all loveliness before. Religion is very beautiful—in health or sickness, wealth or poverty. YVo never enter tin, sick cham ber of the good, but soft music, seems to lie afloat on the air, and tin burthen of their song i.-, “),u! peace is here.” Could wo look into thousands of families to-day, when discontent sits fighting sullenly with life, wo should find the chief cause of unhappiness, want of religion in women. And in felons’ cells—-in places of crime, misery, j de-titut.ion, ignorance- we should behold in all its most horrible deformity, tie- fruit of im-ligion in women. Oh, religion! benignant majesty, high on thy throne thou sit test, glorious undexidtod.

It exhibits the sluggard’s garden in our soul, hearing disgraceful testimony huth against its owner and itself It is like the barren tig tree incur profession, which after years of watching and of cultivation, brings forth no fruit. The dark mini yield . ore, and the hard rock givi ; gold; from tin worthless shall wo gain a pearl, and from a poo. worm wc are supplied with silk; but from ingrati tude wc get no return. It is darker than the mine, and harder than the rock; it is more worthfr-ss than the shell, more menu and ungenerous than th:. worm. Homo sins have a specious appearance in thoeves of the world, whereby men’s minds are oft beguiled to call them virtues; hut ingratitude p>..*- sesses not a fffnglc redeeming quality. It has no specious appearance, no fair color, no bright, side whatsoever. It is unmi.xod evil—essential evet - “only evil, and that continually.” Historians have not recorded it in any single instance with approbn tion. Moralists have made no exceptional case in its favor to admit it among the virtues. Poets have not been heard to sing; its praises in any nation oi language under heaven. Philosophers may have pandered to almost every vice, but none have pun j dared to ingratitude. Merchants have made gains of innumerable sins, but no man has lui ucd ingrati tuile to account. It is an unstamped coin of the kingdom of darkness. None acknowledge it in j earth or hell. It is a vice so base, that even tin vilest ol men will turn with indignation when de nominated Migrates. Ingratitude is robbery, for it deprives the benefactor of the acknowledgment that is his due. Ingratitude is rebellion, for the King of heaven has commanded ns in every thing to giye | thanks. Ingratitude is cruel, how many a heart ha., |it not broken? Ingratitude in a monster which, whenever it. appears, obtains universal execration, standing unrivaled in its own peculiar turpitude, alike unexcn -i and and (inexcusable. IFivv revolting, therefore, how ‘-‘exceeding sinful” is ingratitude towards Ood. It deepens the guilt of all our other sins against him, and impart* to oach of them its own hateful-character. fOI’HTTYG ON THE SQUARE Is a gri-al thing, figuratively or literally -literally in particular. Last .Sunday’ night wc had occasion to cross Congo Square, between nine and ten o’clock We felt like -it,tin; down and resting awhile, but, to our surprise, j were unable to find a seat—every bench in the ; whole -quare bavin; on it a gentleman and lady n gnged in earnest and engrossing tete-a-tete -each couple being crowded up at one.cnd of tiro :>eat as if intending to leave room for others, but really be cause the gentleman, in hi. magnetic ardor, had kepi squeezing up to his duhanoa until the aim of rh sent was imperceptibly reached. Although wc ha<l a perfect right to take the vacant end of any seat, there was a inoral atmosphere about each pair of occupants something in the affectionato collision of tulle and duck and in the warm proximity of li; and ear, that kept us at bay a.- effectually as a brae, of unmuzzled bull-dogs would have done. Our po liteness in pa-sing on without stopping was rather shabbily repaid with intons-.- staring and a cessation of speech by each couph we par ed, except one. i Wc -rill got -ini of that, and though wc had only j been exercising our right, felt, to a certain extent, that no wntebriian’-rattle or cry of .top thief had proclaimed oui 1*: - intrusion. The couple who did not Ur. at us, caused u- to stare at them as long a wi were able; it was impolite we know, but wi ! couldn’t help it. The gcntlemau reclined on the ! seat with bis head resting on the back. Whether i the bead rested on the sluiqi iron back,.or was pil lowed by muslin with an arm in it, wo oould not make out, hut should suspect lit’ latter, for this lady leaned to the gentleman “lik ■ a kitten to a warm jamb,” and, with her white neck gleaming in the I gas-light, herd her face over his, which wooed it as j the pool might woo the over-hanging peach. A I we pss-ed we noticed the peach descending slowly ! (met a moat distracting sound announced its injunc -1 tion with the pool. It was no upstart, hoyden, hut j a full, genuine, excruciating “buss,” compared with I which we should judge strawberries and cream to jbe entirely nauseous. “It had a dying fall"—and might have caused a wcaker-nerved individual titan t ourselves to “fall dying” on the s|iot. (>ur predomi j nant sensation was that the Sabbath had been shock- J ingly profaned, and as wc hurried on we heard the j profanity repeated more shockingly than before. - The lovers, it was plain, had forgotten they were on a scat in a public square, being high in that rosy colored heaven concerning which the “poicks” scrib ble so much.—aVcto Orlains f.-rateeul.
