QLxmts mtti Scnlim'L COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. SATURDAY KVKMNti, JUNE 4, 1853. Amazonia—The Memphis Convention. A letter of Lieut. Maury to the committee of the ‘ convention about assembling in Memphis, upon the sub- i jeet of our future relation with the South American Re- j publics has excited very general comment throughout the country. The object of the convention is pretty , generally known and very naturally arouses jealousy in those sections whose interests will probably be effected if its object be attained. The communication breathes throughout a spirit of patriotic fire. There are no “ifs” and ‘‘anon” and •‘provideds,” but a straight forward enthusiastic detail of results that can he realized by opening a trade with the Amazon country. He tells the convention plainly what enterprise has don** and ought still to do. and which if not exercised in one direction most certainly will be in another. lie shows how the enterprise of the North has almost turned the Mississippi river up side down—and how by the multiplication of railroads and canals, northern capitalists have emptied the resources of al most the whole northwestern country, and of the Up per Mississippi into the lap of New York city—and urges upon the convention the project of a trade with the South American States which he deinonstatcs, may be made to prove as lucrative to us as the East Indies have to Great Britain. The countries which the Amazon waters yield in tiie richest luxuriance all the products of tropical climes The governments of these countries are most friends towards us, and nothing impedes the immediate and direct communication with them, but that Brazil claims the exclusive control over the mouth of the river. Our government is urged to enter into negotiation with Brazil for the free navigation of this river towards the country which it drains. This free navigation for these States should be granted even by natural right, and when once secured we have but to gather the fruit which is ready to fall into our hands. Lieut. Maury draws the following picture of the results of this reci procal communication, a picture gorgeous in the ex treme, but not fanciful, for its truthfulness i.s as demon strative as the laws of meum and tuurn. “VVe may imagine one of our children standing ,a the last of the Chickasaw Bluffs, counting the Amazonian boats as they pass and repass, and telling their cargoes. “There goes one,” we may suppose him to say, “deeply laden, from the Rocky Mountains. She is to discharge her cargo at the foot of the great falls, where the Amazon take its last leap from the Andes. She ex changes salutation with one just coming up the riyer from Eastern Peru. Her cargo is an assorted one of great value ; flue wool, precious metals, spices, cocoa. Peruvian bark, and a great variety of tropical fruits* both rich and rare, m ike up the assortment. “There is one from Bolivia ; she has a cargo of to bacco and coffee as superior to that of Mocha and Ha vana as the coffee of Brazil is to Jack Tar’s best ‘Scotch.’ ” “That one coming down the river there is from Pitts burg, with a shipment ol glass, hardware and fancy arti cles. She is bound for the markets of Quito, and is go ing on <i tiading voyage with the eastern orovinces of Ecuador, 1> goid dust, cochineal, indigo, and other dyes more brilliant by tar even than the Syrian. “That oi.e that i.s now passing her is from the diamond region of Brazil, where the rivers aiso roll down their jewelled sanos, bright with gold and precious stones. “There is one just turning into the landing at Mem phis. She is in tiie drag and dye-stuff trade. She has tne most brilliant of crimsons, scarlet and purple, with the richest assortment of spices and gums that ever cross ed the seas.” New Orleans, and Para, Tabinga and Wheeling, St. Louis and Nauta, would each and all be in connection oy reguair lines ot steamboats. Tiie upper countries of Jie Amazon, and the people of the head waters of the Mississippi, the Missouri, and their tributaries, would be in closer and mole easy communication than the people the Tennessee and the Ohio were with New Orleans when we were bov-. * ** * * * * * When that day conies, the mouths of the Mississippi and the Amazon, New Orleans and Para, without tiie aid of the lamp or t he* wand of any sorcerer, will be with in two weeks of each other. Amazonia will supply this country with all the inter tropical productions of the world—for it is a country whether we consider the wealth of its mineral or vegeta ble kingdom, ot unsurpassed riches and resources. W hile we are receiving these things from this mao-ic “India.” the United States would support the workshops and afibrd the granary for that country. ihe boat yards of the Amazon would be of the Ohio and Upper Mississippi ; the flouring mills if the Amazon ! would be on the James river ; her packing houses in our grazing States ; and her looms among our manufacturing I people. = j Such results are enough 10 startle one even in this progressive age, but they are a fact which can be realized and mill be. This in conjunction with the Pacific ! ailroad——the building of which ere long by some route or other, may now be considered a fixed fact—opens to us a future so magnificent and resplendant that one can hardly allow himself to contemplate it. St. Louis or some place in about the same longitude, will become the terminus ot the Pacific road, thus becoming an en trepot for our whole China and Asiatic trade, and New Orleans the mart for our South American. We need not tether uraw conclusions. The results suggest themselves, which are of such a character as to call for the earn* st and energetic action of the whole Southern and W estern people, and indeed of tne whole country. We observe that ridicule has been attempted to be cast upon such supposed possibilities, and Lieut. Maury represented as a visionary enthusiast. This has of course come from the Northern press in which the New York Tribune leads oft’. The country and its resources are contemptuously alluded to as producing nothing but iever, malaria and reptiles. Suehfalsehoods iu the face oi tacts could only have been uttered by this hot house ot isms and rottenness. Any opposition to a project, liouevei, that bias ta;r to benefit the South, even though it benefit the whole country at the sametime will be re sorted to. Admit, however, such to be the state of the country, what then ? No one can doubt its fertility *nd the nature ot ns productions. Did the climate of the East Indies have to be metamorphosed before the rich fabnes and species, and gems could enrich England? e have not space at present for farther comment upon this subject, but earnestly hope that tiie members es the convention for whose consideration the letter was more especially pound, will take up the subject with azral commensurate with its importance. Ia ISI9 the leading subject of discussion in a convention held iu the same city was the Pacific Railroad, and a resolution I as passed endorsing a certain route. We hope no I sectional views will influence the members in the choice of a route so greatly as to retard the project, Z v ew ß of CR mauifeßted by Lieut. Maury in “and hem p, °* PeC,iVe S.

We want in such a convention business m< n —men of capital and enterprise, who have something at slake besides a re-election to Congress and the re plenishing of a hungry carcass. Our capitalists and established merchants must take hold of these matters, if ever they are to succ- ed. We hope the members of the Memphis convention are composed principally of such men. Wo shall watch their proceedings with great interest. A Nuisance. The numbers of dogs that range our city in troops are an insufferable nuisance. The Lord knows we have enough to annoy us between suns in the way of musqui toes, dust and heat without being aroused every hour by the yelpings and hovvlings of packs of curs which are allowed to range the streets ad libitum. An ordinance was passed by our Council making it the Marshal’s duty to kill all dogs that should be found in the streets, minus a collar, but like almost ail such provisions, it is a dead letter. What is the use of offi cers if the duties assigned them be not performed ? What is the use of laws if they are not enforced ? What is the use of u Mayor and board of Aldermen if they are to meet but to enact laws and go to sieep over the fact whether they are executed or not? Shooting may be a questionable mode of exterminating the brutes— but as the city fathers have determined upon this plan it ought to be carried out, let the consequences be what they may. Besides the annoyance to which those are subject who would enjoy quiet, it is absolutely dangerous at times to walk the streets at night. The hungry, prowl ing canines after sleeping and lounging about in alleys and bye-ways during the day, sally out at night to gratify their appetite, and propensity for mischief. Not unfrequently we have been forced to cross the street to avoid an encounter, and have known more than one instance where it was dangerous for a man to enter his own yard—some stray dog having taken possession for the time being to gather what he could in the way of food. If owners will not keep their dogs at home and en closed they should suffer tho penalty of having them shot or poisoned. But four fifths of these prowling, snapping brutes have no owners—unless the common Council have adopted them—and should be exterminat ed instanter. We hope dog killing wiil become the or der of the day—let the black flag bo unfurled by the execution ex-officio, and try if he can not raise a heca tomb to the principle of law and duty and quiet repose. I What will the Whig Party do for a Living! ; We were not a little amused at the call for a meeting to be held next sherifl”s sale day, by our neighbor of J the Enquirer “inviting and expect ng Union Demo i crats as-iyell as Whigs to join in the deliberations.” You're hard yp, neighbor. The Democrats are united too strongly already fur your good. That “Union Dem ocrat” what got up tho hand-bill some days since will doubtless do your biddiiig and splutter extensively. But as our neighbor seems to £e smelling around for a scent to some trail, we commend to'%' m tho following advice by Greelet, which is thus pithily j?tl? by that pungent patriotic Democratic journal, the New Haven Register. I <( ‘tiie use of a whig party.” vVe took up the New York Tribune a day or two since, as a sort ot recreation, for there is nothing more amusing than its philosophical and labored disquisitions on “the Democracy”—and its bitterness is 30 ridiculous that we read them with the same relish that we do the effusions oi the renowned Mrs. Partington. They are the most harmless ot philipics, the most ludicrous of denunciations. On this occasion, we were hugely de lighted with an essay, a column in length, as to what was “the use oi a whig party?” and as every one knows that it is ot no use at all, that it lias been but of “a few days and full of trouble”—we were curious enough to see what were Mr. Greeley’s conclusion on the sub.* jeet. Well—he goes on to admit that “there will al- j ways be a great party” assuming to be the Democratic j party, which will generally be in the ascendant ; that the too commonly received impression, however, that it is “too radical,” and that the whig party is simply a “brake,” to keep it3 wheels from going too fast, is a great m’stake and that if the whig party can find no better business than “trying to rein the Democracy, it had better adjourn without delay. We were surprised to fin ! Greeley admitting these self-evident propositions —and came at once to the conclusion that he was about to submit some“indus rial” theory which would indicate a more practical line of usefulness for “a whig party ,” than in trying to throw the Democratic Engine off’ the track. We read on eagerly and soon found ourselves in possession of “tne great idea”—and we are free to confess that it is the best advice we have ever known j the T. ibune to give the whig party. It is not to quar- j re! with the administration of M.i. Pierce—to abuse his | C ibinet, or to misrepresent its measures—not to knock | its bra 1 ns out asrainst the sub-treasury, or to £jet up a j panic on the tariff—but to go to work and build “the Pacific Railroad /” Eureka I This, says Greeley, is ; the legitimate “use of a whig party.” Wastward ho ! We see, in our mind’s eve, the for- 1 lm-n hope of wh'ggery, casting away the choice and cx~ j pressive banners with which it marched to the last Pres identia! battle, and “taking up the shovel and the hoe,” : start for the fulfilment of its legitimate destiny, with high ! hopes, and a calling which promises sooner to realize! their old anticipations of “two dollars a day and roast ; beef,” than any other scheme which has ever before agi- j tated their councils. There neighbor, is a chance for you. Take your ‘‘Uni on Democrat” along with you—he’ll do to tote the The odolite. Railroad from Eufaula. The people of Eufaula and o Barbour county, are arousing from their lethargy. We give to-day an arti cle from the Spirit of the South , setting forth conclu sively to us the necessity and practicability of building a Railroad from Eufaula to intersect the Girard and Mobile road. Our neighbois may lest assured of the hearty sympathy of the people of Columbus, and it will be manifested in a substantial way if they will outgo to work resolved to accomplish the enterprise. Progress is becoming the ruling spirit of tho South. Let the good work go on. Santa Anna in Trouble, . seems that the new Protector of Mexico is in trouble already. The latest advices state : ‘'ln consequence of an order of the Supreme Government to incorporate the National Guards ot ine State ot Vera Cruz into the regular army the National Guards attempted to drive the 7th regiment of the line out of Vera Cruz. “Alter fighting for the space of three days without making any impression upon the troops, who had received a reinforcement from Jalapa, the Government,assisted bv the leading mer chants and inhabitants, prevailed, and tranquility j was restored. “About fifty of tho National Guards are re ported to have been killed and fifty to have been taken prisoners. “On the receipt of the news of the disturb ances at Vera Cruz, the government immediate ly ordered the march of 2,000 veterans, with 14 A, pieces of artillery, who had arrived at Puebla at , the last dates, hut it is to be hoped tnat they would counter march as soon as it was ascer- ; tained that their services were no longer need- j ed. [From the Spirit of the South.] The Eufaula Railroad. Messrs. Editors We have all read the pro- j ceedings of the late Railroad festival atColum* ; bus, and what citizen of our county did not heart- j ily wish that he miglffwitness such a celebration j here ? There is not a man in the county who would not rejoice at such an event. Much has : already been said a ndprinted m iavor ot build- ; mg a Railroad from Eufaula to intersect the ; Girard road. Our people, we are tally persua ded, understand the advantages of such a work, 1 and properly appreciate them. I hen why is not something done—some plan ot operation adopted to insure the success of the scheme ? One thing is certain, the railroad carnot build itself. If we get it, we shall be compelled to pay for it and that liberally too, in money or la bor. One man cannot build l t; a dozen cannot do it—the work requires the united efforts of all. In consideration of the great benefit to be con ferred upon the county by such a road, it has been proposed that the county should subscribe for SIOO,OOO of the stock. Tins she can easily do, and so manage the payment of her Bonds as not to embarrass her Treasury or impose a burden upon us. lam a warm friend to that measure, and was the first to propose it. The State tax in our county for last year was $27,- 000. Suppose we take SIOO,OOO in the Rail road stock : that it should require three years to complete the road; thatthe investment paid only \Q per cent. —even then a special tax of 50 per | cent, on the State tax would redeem the Bonds in | seven years t as the interest on the stock would j pay off the balance due at the end of that year ! 1 The tax could be reduced to a lower figure if de sired, and let the Bonds have a longer time to matute. After the s f ock is paid for, the income from it will be sufficient to defray the county expenses, and our people would ever afterwards he free from all taxes for county purposes. But the county cannot subscribe without a vote of her citizens, anci that cannot be had until the next Legislature authorizes the election. But why should we wait until then ? The SIOO,OOO from, the county vnll not build the road. How jis tho balance to be raised ? By individual subscriptions. The business season is now over, and it is a favorable time to commence the good work. Let arrangements be made at once to open Books for subscription. I think it would behest to have the notes fall due in one. two and three years from first J anuary next. The sub scriptions might aiso be on condition that a specified amount be raised. I have strong hopes ofassistance from Columbus, as she is deeply interested in the completion of our road. She could very easily subscribe $50,000 in the stock |of the Muscogee Road. If Glennville will do jaftEJ3Urt f I prefer to have the Road pass through j or near that village. Htiff citizens are intelligent, wealthy and liberal, will_^7ve*al? | the material aid in their pevver. The Mobile i and Girard road will certainly be built. A great 1 prize is within our reach. By a Railroad of 011- i ly thirty miles , we can bring to our doors Mo i bile, Columbus, Montgomery, Savannah, Char ! lesion, and all the Northern cities. Our peo ple have slumbered long enough. The time for action has arrived. If we ever intend to do j anything but talk, now is tho time to begin.— The time is corning when it will be too late to i act. We have held meetings and massed reso iutions until we have made ourselves ridiculous at homo and abroad. I propose that the Town Council meet privately and appoint a committee to open books for subscription. T hat com mittee should be composed of men residing in different parts of the county. They should be urged to go to work at once—there i3 danger in delay; but prompt and efficient action will crown our efforts with success. E. S. S. Eufaula, May 30, 1853. Tiie Koockogky Pitchers.— We bad a view yesterday, at Mr. S. Wiilmot’s jewelry store, of the t~ro beautiful silver pitchers which are to be presented to Mr, Koockogey by the Savannah delegation to the recent railroad festival at Co lumbus. T'iie p tchers, which were manufac tured by Mr. Wilmot, are elaborately and taste- i fully ornamented, and bear the following in-! scription,engraved by Mr. R. H. Howell PRESENTED TO -SAMUEL KOOCKOGEY, By the Savannah Delegation , In token of their appreciation of hia hospitalities on their trip to Columbus. May 19th, 1853. „ We m ay remark that the compliment to Mr. Koockogey was prompted by a spontaneous ! impulse oi grateful acknowledgment of the very agreeable suprise given to the Savannah dele tion by his impromptu treat, at a time when the fatigue of a long journey conspired to make it au the more acceptable. The entire transac- j lion rests on its own merits. Mr. Koockogey ! is not indebted to the enthusiasm excited by the i Columbus reception and entertainment—which j on the return of the delegation would have i prompted a subscription to build a Town Hall for the Chattahoochee City—but to his own in dividual generous and well-timed hospitality, j for the gratitude and esteem of his Savannah j friends.— Sac. Rep. A list of some ol the rascals. Hickumstick, before his departure for the Penitentiary, gave a prisoner in Jail, a iist of names, their places of residence and description of those he said composed his gang. He said he would have turned State’s evidence against them, were it not for the belief that they would have broke him out of Jail. During Court one or two of his reported gang were seen here ; if their object was that of rescuing him from pri son, they u'ere, for once, disappointed. , The following are the places of residence of those suspicious characters: Two reside in] Tallapoosa co., Ala., one in Montgomery, Ala., j one in Columbus, Ga., and one in West” Point, j Ga. The one that lived in West Point, we un- ; derstand, has gone to other parts. Several of our citizens Know 6ome of the mjh named, and say they have never known any good of them. The list is now in the possession of the Sheriff of this county. The officers or some good citi zen of the places mentioned, might do the com munity at large some benefit by getting the names of these gents and keep a vigilant eye upon them.— Lagrange Reporter. [From the New York Herald.] Southern Commercial Convention. On the 18th of December, 185*2, a Southern Trade Convention assembled at Baltimore, > which was very slimly attended. Wm. C. Daw son, who represents in part the State ot Geor gia in the United States Senate, was chosen ; president, and a number of vice presidents were also appointed. After a session oi one day, j during which no particular business was trans acted, the convention adjourned to meet at Memphis, in the State of Tennessee, on the first Monday in June. After the adjournment, the delegates, who were mostly members of Con gress, participated in the festivities and enjoy ments of a grand banquet given by the citizens and Board of Trade of Baltimore in honor of the occasion, and at which was a congregation of some five hundred persons. The banquet gave eclat to the whole affair, and directed the attention of the supporters of Southern interests to the body which wiil assemble at Memphis on the 6th proximo. Avery large number of dele gates have been appointed by the respective , Governors of the slaveholding States, and if but one half of the members deputed shall attend, it will yet be the largest convention ever assembled in this country. If we take the aggregate nurn ber appointed by the Governor of Maryland, which is two hundred and seventy-one, as the proportion from each State, it will make four thousand and sixty-five delegates on the part of the States ; and to insure a full attendance, each one is empowered, in case of inability to attend, to appoint a substitute. In addition to these, the piincipal Southern cities and villages, and in some localities, even counties and towns, have appointed additional delegates for in stance, the city of Richmond will send one hundred ; Charleston, S. C., fifty; Anne Arundel county, Md., six; dec. Previous to the meeting of the convention, it will be impossible to arrive at the exact number, but we think we can safely put down the aggregate number ap i pointed at eight thousand—five thousand of whom will no doubt appear, and take part in ; the proceedings. Among the objects contem i plated by the convention, and which wiil be ■ called up for action during its sitting, are the fol* j lowing : The establishment of a continental depot of | cotton, in opposition to Liverpool. The direct exportation of cotton by the plan : ter, thus doing away with middle men, middle ! warehouses, middle commissions, middle insu ; ranees, and all that interminable medium which i eats up our substance and concentrates ourex | ports at Liverpool. ; To build up a Southern importing market, • in opposition to New York. ) To establish, through railroad alliance, more Wmipathy with the great .West and .Northwest, socm'iVy, ‘cbmm'cVCYaiVy, and nationally. ‘ \ To have one or more lines of steamers to Eu- . rope. To induce emigration through Southern ports, to pass to the West by a communication al ways open, expeditious, and cheap, or to settle on our fertile lands. To stimulate manufactures and general indus* try. To educate our children at home—io spend our wealth at home. To aim at commercial and industrial inde pendence. By the above it will bo seen that the move ment is an important one, and the practical wis dom of all the Southern States will be brought in requisition to further the objects and estab lish the principles thus set forth. The proceed ings of the convention will be watched with eagerness bv the North and East, as on its de cision may rest a continuance of the rapid growth and prosperity of those States whose interests are at stake. Escape of Another of the Irish Patriots.— The Catholic Mirror has received information that “ -hitrick O Donohue, another of the Irish exiles, has escaped from Van Diemian’s Land, and lro:.i the clutches of Governor Denison and the English Government. It is thought he left in one of the American ships trading to Australia, and will arrive at ono of the American ports on the Atlantic side in the course of a short time.” The Mirror, which says the news is from a good source, adds that it is in possession of very important information on this subject, but refrains from publishing it at present, or giving the name of the place from whence it derived the news. One Happy Heart. —Have you made one hap py heart to-day ? Envied privilege. How calmly you can seek your pillow : how sweetlj’ sleep! in all this world there is nothing so sweet as giving comfort to the distressed, as getting a sun ray into a gloomy heart. Children of to-morrow meet us wherever we turn; there is no moment that tears are not shed, and sighs uttered. Yet how many of those tears, those sighs, are caused by our own thoughtlessness How many a daughter wrings the very soul of a fond mother by acts of unkindness and ingra- ; titude ! How many husbands, by one little word, make a whole day of sad hours and un kind thoughts ! How many wives, by angry recriminations, estrange and embitter loving j hearts ? How many brothers and sisters meet ; but to vex and injure each other, making j v ounds that no art can heal ? Ah iif each one worked upon this maxim day by day—“strive to make some heart happy’ s —jealousv,revenue, madness, hate, with their kindred evil associates’ would forever leave the earth. Our minds I | would be so occupied in the contemplation of adding to the pleasure of others, that there would .be no room for the ugly fiends of discord. Try it, ye discontented, forever grumbling devotee's of sorrow, self-caused ; it will make that little part of the world in which you move fair a Eden. 1 “What is that dog barking at?” asked a fop i whose boots were more polished than his ideas. “Why,” replied a bystander, “because he sees I another puppy in your boots'’* HEAVEN. Oh ? Heaven is nearer than mortals think, VVhen thev look with a trembling dread At the mUty future that stretches on From the silent homo oi the dead. *Tis no lone isle in a boundless main, No brilliant, but distant shore, Where the lovely ones who are called away Must go to return no more. No—Heaven is near us: the mighty veil Os mortality blinds the eye, That we see ru t the angel bands On the shores of eternity. Yet oft in the hours of 1 oly thought, To the thirsting soul is given That power to pie ce through the midst of sense. To the beauteous scenes of Heaven. Then very near seems its pearly gates. And sweetly its harptugs fall ; Till the soul is re-'tless to soar away, And longs lor the angel call. I I know, when the sih'er cord is loosed, When the veil is tent away, Not long and dark shall the passage be To the realms of endless day. The eye that shut- in a dying hour, Will open the next in bliss, The welcome will sound in a heavenly world. Ere the farewell is hushed in this. We pass Irom the claSj of mourning friends, To the arms of the loved and lost ; And those smiling faces will greet us then, Which on eaith we have valued most. Sketches of Character. No. XL. THE VERY MORAL MAN. A black suit of clothes, a white cravat, and a pair of highly-polished creaking shoes, are the ex ternal symbols of vour “o’er gude man.” He looks upon the world as a large undertaker’s shop, to which people should he continually rushing to be measured for a coffin. ’The heav ens he would have hung in black, if he coulJF The gay singing of the birds he would have changed to psalmody—the green sward, which invites to gamboling and frolic, he would con vert into a pall—and the flowers, with ther variegated colors and delicious odors, he would have nipped in the bud, lest they incite to vani ty. Little does he seem to think that his atra bilious and sombre thoughts are continually at war with the Beneficence of the Creator, who arrayed the flowers in rich garments, carpeted the meadows with green, and made the air vo cal with feathered songsters, for the delight and pleasure of us all; and that we right, in gratitude or reason, to.#ppear or to feel, in different to the bounties and beauties thus lavish ly spread before us. We have no right to go > sneaking and whining through the world as l though we had no business with it. It was | made for us, and despite the lachrymose nonsense | of fanatical canters, it was made for us to en | joy. We always feel disposed to doubt the j genuineness of that man’s morals, who insis^ | severely on the strict observance of mere c on- I volitional forms. That man’s morality is pu rest, best, and most Christian, which is ac companied grateful’ appreciation and Warm hearted acknowledgment of the rational enjoyments of life. He who shuts himself out from society, to avoid temptation, proclaims his own weakness. We have no objection, if he feel his own inability to keep straight, that he should not attempt to walk, but we do most positively deny, because he is weak in the foot and morally dyspeptic, that he has a right to say to us, “Walk not, lest ye stumble —partake not of social enjoyment, for fear of disordering thy morai stomach.” The morality of such men, in great part, consists in the fact of not being discovered in tricks of roguery and deceit. In thus teaching and preaching, they always overstep the mark. ‘They do not con tent themselves with warring against the abuse of the good things of life, but go dead against their use. This makes their pupils antagonis tical at once, because they know there is no sin in their proper use, and shocked, at the un just demand made upon their forbearance, they are often impelled to taste the flavor ot abuse.
