Should It Be Made a Na
tional Question'/
Efforts are being made, most es
pecially in the North, to agitate the a
bove question, and make it an issue m
National politics. A? yet no move
has been made questioning.such a step
as being legitimate and light. It ap
pears that our people have fallen into
a lethargy, and take no notice of the
infringement upon the rights of States
or the people in that capacity. The
Press is perfectly silent.
The proceedings and addresses de
livered before the Prohibition Conven
tion at Pittsburg, Pa., the 23d inst.
certainly throws new light on the sub
ject, and facts before the world that
were never heaid of before—that spir
ituous liquors were the first cause of
slavery’s being introduced into this
country, that slavery was a cmre to
our nation while it existed, hut now
we are blessed by its being abolished,
that the spirit of Christianity abolish
ed it, and now the same move must be
to prohibit the liquor traffic.
The very tone of its proceedings ami
acts of its members indicate that it
must be abolished, irespective of means
—Another fact is that the same par
ties (what arc not dead)and influences
meat work agitating the question in
that direction, that were at the helm
and engineered the slavery question
and party —have no respoct for others
rights so that they execute the purpo
ses of their own hearts, and will dare
to do it under til'd sanctity of religion
and demands of Christianity.
These arc facts and do not exist in
the imagination. And the question
of Prohibition is not the only one of
iuterest, the importance of which we
will not attempt to limit, hut a very
vital part is to see it condnctcd upon
principles strictly constitutional and
within the spirit of our government.
National prohibition is not consistent
with Democracy. We do not care to
►have Northern pretensions —religious
fanatics auu the ultra-abolitionist cle
ment, that ought to have been hung
with Guiteau, and woman suffragists
to trouble themselves any more about
our own interest (of the Smith in gen
oval.) It appears to us that when the
people of Georgia and other Southern
States get ready to prohibit the traffic
in spirituous liquors or anything elso,
it coufd and ought to be done without
any of their assistance.

"When musing sorrow weeps the ps?t

sleepless hours of night find us gazing

how fleeting, how trifling seem tho

how little we care for the scoffs and

friends. The soul is filled with that
other higher life that drives away ev
ery particle of doubt wo may have of

light in tho “gospel.” Although the
mistakes of my life have becu many,
and the sins of my life have been more
I often find the deep feelings of giati

is nothing hi l from Thee. My ene

Oh! Lord knowest me altogether.”
What a consoling thought. I did not
think when I began, of saying so much
about myselt—and now this thought
arises—what arc your thoughts and
feelings to a single reader of the Times.
Oh! egotism, thou bane of the human

wanted to thank you for that political
letter you wrote. You have the un
bounded gratitude of many that I could

The Bible questions I was going to
ask were for information,. la’’?eading
we sometimes come across tho word
Ante-Adamite. Now I want to know
if thero is sufficient evidence in the
Bible for the belief that there was a
race of pooplo living before Adam?

We lwul a nice rain last night, and
is still mining slowly this morning,
and prospect lor He continuing through
tlie day. Wo were needing rain to
some exlcnt. The present one coming
just in time makes the prospects for
corn very liattering. We had a little
wind Sunday evening, and has blown
over out coru some, hut we think noth
ing serious.
We notice that yon have no school
yet at Trenton. Oitr school ia progres
sing finely, and wo are almost tempted
to suggest that you move Trenton to
this placo. Trenton and Its vicinity
has a larger population than ours, but
our people I believe are bettor disposed
towards sending their children to
school, and more interested about their
education from the number attending
our school compared with the general
success of yours. We are well pleas
ed with our teacher. Prof. Miller is
a live energetic man, and his scholars,
with few if an exceptions, like him cx
ceptionably well.
We bad a splendid little communi
cation from this place in your paper
last week; but still there was something
that did not sti ike us very favorable.
Yes we are glad the subject is dropped
for 1 know it is not pleasant for the
editor to publish anything that would
have the least tendency throw any le
flection upon a citizen or person in
this County. We wonder how those
little disturbances impress foreigners
or those who live out of the County
It ought to be enough to make any o!
us blush to know that we are not as
much in harmony with each other as
we ought to be. We need not always
take exception to every thing that goes
in a direction that we think wrong;
most especially be very careful when
w'c become censorious. Excuse us
“Bill” but we think you was too gen
eral ia your expression of “saints”.
Is it right to apply the torn! that be
longs to the people of God in the way
you did—to apply the term to those
who yon say, or intimate are not true
to their profession. We think it near
to taking the nnmo of God in vain
Then, “Bill” you gave us some infor
mation of a fact of which we weie not
aware, that whiskey or something in
toxicating was kept on ibc ground the
day of our pic-nic. Of corn sc you did
not say what kind ol ‘•drinks” but in
the general way you used it the public
accepts it as the kind above referred to.
As to any other wrong, that lies with
in the province of every individual to
say to what extent, if any he has sin.
ned, God will judge His people, and
bewaro that you do not transcend your
“prerogatives”. Write again “Bill”
we beliovo you are one of the school
hoys, or liave'bcen, and wo hope your
good teacher will impress you, that
there are certain things or subjects
that should not be made an object of
wit.
Wc will let tho curtains fall here
and if anything happens again which
is liable to cieate a discoid in our com
munity, let every one try and keep the
public frota knowing it.
With best wishes for the continued
success of our paper, and wo now on -
teitaiu no doubts of it. we will close.
