v misery ? Upon the fiend s'who deal out This soul destroying poison to mankind, and the unrighteous lawgivers who 1 upport them in the practice, and “quote scripture for the deed?” Despair not, lone and suffering one; thy hoar of retribution will ar rive. “Vengeance is nunc, saith the Lord,” and the judge of all the earth will do right. “You Can’t Force Men to be Moral !” ‘Morally and physically, man is a free agent, and any law seeking to control his volition is an insult offered to his dignity and understanding.” This idea is extremely rich, grand, gloomy, and peculiar—the individual who first got it off should be immortalized with a full sized statue done in pew ter. Our opponents here, as on every other point, knowingly and wilfully mistake the issue entire— simply because they are unable to “face the music.” Forcing men to be moral i ’ out of our line of busi ness ; we know as well as you, that men are like hogs; you may tole them, but you cannot drive them. Yes, you may tole a sore-eyed drunken gentile with bottle of mean whisky, even into a slaughter-pen, but as to driving him you might as well attempt to avert the coming storm by r ailing the ten command ments to the mast-head of a ship. No; we can’t spree you to be moral, but we can force you to ob , scree morality. YY e have numberless enactments upon our Statute-Books to that effect, which none dare repudiate. Such are the laws against Sabbath breaking, bigamy, &c. The power of the govern ment is called into requisition to enforce the great cardinal principles of every religion, no matter what may be the nature of it. Primarily, laws are not intended to reform, but to restrain. The law takes no cognizance of motives and affections, but of acts. It denounces no penal ty against hate as an abstract emotion, but when it ultimates itself in the violation of another’s rights, in murders, assaults, and maimings, the law then recognizes and punishes it, —it steps in with its co -4 creive power and restrains , not reforms, the wrong doer, —it may, in a measure reform by restraining him, but that is a secondary result. Every law upon our Statute-Book is coercive, but honest and law abiding citizens see no hardships in this. They are not prevented from arson, burglary, and homo cide, by fear of penalties; for in all these things they are a law unto themselves. But the wicked, the revengeful, and the malignant, are restrained, and it was for these that the penalties of the law were designed; and if a man who persues an unholy traf fic, the legitimate tendency of which is to impover ish the country, produce idleness, crime, and de bauchery, and to impose heavy pecuniary burdens upon the people, may not be coerced, then is civil government a failure, and the right of the citizen to protection a delusion, and all the inmates of our State prisons are entitled to exemplary damages for loss of time, defamation of character, and restraint of liberty. If our opponents will show us that this position is untenable, then we agree to abandon all coercive legislation as unphilosophical,—but until - you do it, we beg of you, for heaven’s sake, not to whine so much about “legislative morality,” “fine and imprisonment,” “coercion and persecution.” s— - - Gov. Wise on Bachelors. Since it seems to be generally understood that Mr. Buchanan is the first choice of Governor Wise for the succession, some of our YVhig friends ate having .a bit of fun at his expense. They charge him with inconsistency, and adduce in proof the extract below, from a speech of his in Congress: “But Mr. Speaker, there is a certain class of men, who, put them where you will, in any situation in life, will piddle —l mean old bachelors. I will never henceforth, support any man for the Presidency who will appoint a bachelor to any office of honor or profit, and especially of responsibility. An old bach elor, sir, is an old withered fig tree —he is a vis iner ti.ae! Old bachelors are too near akin to old maids!” It was rumored through the country last winter that Gov. Wise had become insane, and after seeing the above, we do not think any one could entertain the least doubt of it. The man who could openly perpetrate such a libellous sentiment respecting two of the most respectable classes of society, must not only have a very weak head, but also a very bad heart. We know not the cause of the Governor’s unhappy alienation of mind, but we suppose it or iginated where a great many such cases do. We suspect him to be a hen-pecked husband. Poor fel low ! we pity him. * Old Bachelors, Look on This. Single Blessedness. —Sheet-iron quilts—blue noses —frosty rooms—ice in the pitcher—unregenerated linen —heel-less socks —butjonless shirts coffee sweetened with icicles —gutta-percha biscuits—flab by steaks—corns, coughs and cholics—aloes, misery, (fee., &c. Bah! And then on This. Matrimony. —Hot buckwheat cakes —warm bods —comfortable slippers—smoking coffee—round arms —red lips—ahem!—etc, etc. —shirts exulting in but tons —redeemed stockings —boot-jacks—happiness, ifec., &c. Are not the two pictures enough to pursuade all Bachelerdom to strike out on a sparking expedition apd hunt up a companion? If not, then let them alone for they are jined to their idols. The convin cing argument in the picture is ‘ darned ’ socks. Show u§ a man, without a wife, now a-days, who has a pair of socks with no holes in them, and wc will show you a pair that's got neither toes nor heels. Our “chum” at our elbow, who exults in his free < dom, hunches us in the side and indignantly ob serves —“stick your finger in whose eye ?” We received the following letter from the far-off regions of Arkansas, which we hope our friend will excuse us for publishing. It always affords us pleas ure to know that our humble labors are appreciated, and this pleasure is heightened wheir it comes fro n a source which we know is uninfluenced by preju dice. If each of our friends would make an effort t(> extend our circulation, they would enable us to give them a paper which would be indeed worthy of their support. Dear Sir: —Your valuable paper is a welcome guest at our fireside. It diffuses joy and mirth through the whole family circle; each one is eager to read its contents. Its precepts have taught my children to look upon drunkenness as the greatest of all evils and I thank God that it has had such a happy effect. I wish it could find a place in every household throughout our ’and, I feel bound to give my en couragement to a journal which has for its object the accomplishmentot so noble an end. Your paper has shown itself to be a firm supporter of the cause It has espoused, and its new appearance and renew -Ug energies, promises much towards accomplishing the end aimed at lam well pleased with the alter ations you hnye mad?. Every man should give it his support and influence. Enclosed you. will find one dollar in gold, to pay for my subscription for 1856. G. W. L barkers Bqrgh, Yell eo.. Ark., May 20th, 185 p. ’ : i—---■ f■” . ,niUc celebrated Addison s:qid many years ago, tWine heightens iiidinefence into love, love intojeal £ o|rsy, and jealousy into madness. It often turns the good-natured man into an idiot, and the choleric in to an assassin. It gives bitterness to resentment, it makes vanity insupportable, and displays every lit tle spot of the soul in its almost deformity.’ ” And he might have added, it rouses ail the fiend ish p&§s}on§ of njan’,B nature, imd arrays theta in deadly hostility against his fellow man. It builds ’ poor-houses, jails, asyltfms* and penitentiaries, and fills them with their wretched and degraded inmates. It generates every species of iniquity, which broods, over our land, paralysing the progression of Chris tianity and civilization. It coils like a serpant about the soul of man, and drags it, howling and'hissing,’ into the lake of damnation. Morning—Sunrise Something - New-Glo r ‘ rious. Sv\.eot.is the breath of morn, her rising sweet, V* ith cliarm of earliest birds.” Mira bite dictu, ’ wehavebeen an eye witness up on ‘sunrise;” a radiant and transcend ant spectacle in the diorama of nature seldom enjoyed bv ourself, and so far as we are able to testify, a scene seldom occurring. We arose with fevered brow from our sleepless pallet after suffering-the -excruciating tor tures of having spectred visitants to watch over our dreams, and sallied out into the open air, and O, what feelings of mingled astonishment, joy and grat itude did we experience! We were in a different sphere from our accustomed one. Gleams of morn ing had laked the eastern verge of heaven with sil very tincture—nature seemed clothed in a greener, fresher, and more cheering robe—liquid jewelry hung in glistening tapestry from every bough and leaflet—the little feathered choristers hymning the unwritten music of nature, caroled sweeter matins —the breezes stealing through lovely jasmin bowers and rosy chaplets hung out by flora, bore to our nos trils sweeter aroma—under an ebullience of internal joy we unconsciously joined in the diapason of praise ascending to God. Old Phoebus at length arose from the lap of Thetis and “Came dancing forth shaking his dewy hair And hurl’d his glist’ring beams through gloomy air.” Ashe arosein boundless majesty and looked aslant the dew-bright earth, flecked darkness retired from the face of nature —the owl hunted its tower—beasts of prey that roam at night, sought their lairs—and wandering ghosts trooped home to church-yards.— While looking upon it we could but exclaim, after the manner of “Byron’s Manfred,” Most glorious orb! Thou earliest minister of the Almighty, which glad dened on their mountain tops, the hearts of the Chal dean Shepherds till they poured themselves in ori sons ! Thou Material God! and representative of the unknown who chose thee for his shadow! Sire of the seasons! Monarch of the climes, and those who dwell in them! With senses ravished with these new. scenes in creation, we wandered along until we seated ourself beside a clear and inviting spring with waters as blessed as that with which the bvely Clare cooled the fevered brow of the dying Marmion. At a little dis tance pearled a gurgling rivulet winding its way to its ocean home—beyond was spread out a lovely landscape, carpetted with rich green sward, and sur rounded with little hillocks damasked with roses, lillies, honeysuckles and woodbines—a, landscape as beautiful as ever Tempe spread for lo’s dreams—the little songsters all sang eloquently in the deep for ests —the goldfinch filled the hollows with its calls— the little wren chirruped its mellow plaint—the thrush musically mimicked the whistling plonghboy —the bluebird sweetly chattered upon a distant de cayed limb—the fretting jay flew by squealing as if mad at something—the woodpecker roared upon a dead tree —the cock robbin, sitting beside her last year’s dilapidated nest, sang a sweet, simple song of sorrow —the breeze wafted to our ears the sympa thetic moaning of a heavenly dove—memory wan dered back through the chequered pathway of the past and dwelt upon myriads of happy’ scenes; it re surrected from the grave the familiar forms of many loved relations, and near and dear friends, and em braced them as in the days of “Lang Syne.” We saw the familiar form and grey heirs of a beloved old father, as he would call us from our playful gam bols to embrace us in his arms —a sweet sister with countenance lit up with the radiance of heaven, who would always imprint an affectionate kiss upon our brow when bidding her farewell—a tender babe, un acquainted with sorrow, gently sinking, without a murmur, from the bosom of an affectionate mother into the arms of its God. With senses thoroughly intoxicated, and a soul “lapped in an Elysium” we fell a lileless corpse against a tree, in which posture we remained until aroused by the ringing of the breakfast bell and an empty stomach. Eccentricity of manner is so often allied to great genius that some very great fools have been thought 1 to possess talent, because they were unlike the rest of the world in their actions, a Eccentricity was always very disgusting to us from the very fact that in nine cases out of ten, it is the result of affectation. There is however no form of it so disagreeable as that which some persons exhibit in order to gain the reputation of being talented. It is a strange, and certainly a very lazy ambition which would prompt a person to desire such a repu tation, without ever doing anything to deserve it, though what it can avail any one, we have never been able to discover. We have known persons who were overrated, and they were always .objects of our commiseration. To possess a reputation for genius, which none of his actions over have or ever can jus tify, must to a sensible person, be a very embarras sing position. Some people, either from want of good taste or good sense strive to impress upon oth ers an idea of Jheir originality by looking, speaking, and acting in a manner different from-every one else. Strange to say, they frequently succeed. They may possess talents ; but like the ghost of Hamlet, they “come in such a questionable shape,” that we always doubted their existence. * Our Book Table.

THE roiling year again brings round the season when we have been accustomed to welcome our many friends and patrons to our delightful wa tering place. Grateful for past favors, wc will strive to merit the continued approbation of those to whom we have hitherto been indebted, as well as the favorable con- Gderation of those who have yet been strangers to the * AHATOGA OF THE SOUTH.” We have never commenced a season under more flattering auspices ; our Orchard promises to yield an abundance of fruit, and our supply of Ice, already housed, secures us against any possible deprivation of that very necessary luxury. We have engaged the services of superior MUSI CIANS, and those who delight in the “concord of sweet sounds” will be abundantly gratified. We allow, and are always glad to encourage, all kinds of innocent and healthful amusements, desir ing to make the time pass happily for all. The medicinal virtues of our many and varied MINERAL WATERS are now too well known tore quire an extended description. In addition to the Red, YY hite, and Black Sulphur Springs, many of them combined with Iron and Magnesia, we have an inexhaustible well of the purest Freestone. >v o must be permitted to a word to those to whom Cotoosa ever offers her gladdest welcome; we trust that the bright eyes and merry faces that have so often honored us with their presence, will again visit us : especially for these shall we use our best endeavors to make “the pleasant summer time” pass joyously. Our accommodations are very extensive—we have many pleasant cottages separate from the main Ho tel, where families can be as quiet and retired as in their own homes. H. H.
