Under the drat. bead, It would bo found that
fortddess.for .intoxicating drinks was one of the
greatest obstacles in the way of temperance re
foini.: Mon felt 'themselves insulted, or affected
'to, at least, when'ealled upon to sign a pledge.
And 'yet- be would, say, what experience amply
testified, that the man who was in the habit of
rising liquor as` it beverage at: all was in danger of
being ultimatelY ruined by it. No man, he con
tended, knew to what disastrous consequences the
habit et-using intoxicating drinks would load,
until step by step they were fastened upon him. ,

-
we direct our future was the letup of tape
rienee. _ltwas incontrovertible that ono in every
twenty whei were in the habit of drinking liquor
at all Ultimately became drunkards, and ho
ed:ri r tnuoh larger proportion would come nearer the
truth. He would ask, what was a man's safe
guard? Could it be claimed for tho clement of
self respect No. The wretch who is now wal
lowing in the gutter was once as respectable, a
`ineMber of society as any of us. Could intellect be
claimed as a safeguard against this terrible vice?
Ah ! there had already too many tall cedars of in
tellect 'gone down beneath the mireeping ban of
this frightful scourge, to claim that as a protec
tion.
:Nor could any more efficacy of this character be,
claimed for the Wei mutat affertions The your:nen
Whir commit the foulest deeds of Infntny upon their
hwn flesh and blood, while under the influence of
drink, If called upon when the fell demon had
departed, would ho found to possess souls as other
-Men.
In this respect intemperance exceeded in point
of dark depravity all other known evils, in that it
obliterated the affections of the heart so utterly
that those feelings wore deadened to the appeals
and affections of even their nearest kindred. The
idiot grasped his mother's garment, and looked up
with. a Emile ; the pirate could abed a tear at the
affectionate reproofial his long-deserted mother;
but it was alone for the drunkard to seize the in
fant of his loins and dash it to the earth.
" There were soma men too mean to become drunk
ards, and he supposed they ought to be thankful
for it.' [Applanee.] Those of the warmest and
most ardent temperament were in most danger of
falling victims to this , vice. Snob, from their
warm and generous impulses, were liable to be
"drawn into this maelstrom of ruin before they
were aware of whither their course was tending.
Nor could the respeelability of society in which
we move be taken as a defense against the insidi
ous influence of intemperance. The weakest of all
pleas urged against this'reform, was that it re-
Oiresimen to give up their liberty,

that establiehmont.
- rMr, lirtrar,, of Now Hampshire, resumed Ids
remarks, commencing on two of the positions held
by tho Supreme Court in the belebrated Dred Scott
ease Po...ay; The court ACM that the right of
property in slaves is of the barna nature as the
right of all other property; and, Secondly, That
the right to bold this docoription of property, and
GAMd in slaves, ttt the time of the American Revce
lotion, and the adoption of the Federal Constitu
tion, was so universally recognised and acknow
ledged, both by England and this country, that no
man thought of disputing it. Re took issue with
the court on both these points. The legal principle
was unsound, and unsupported - by authority ; what
'purported to be the statement of a
,foot was
equally. unsupported by the truth of history. The
first proposition was more distinctly and fully ex-
Pressed in the Lohomnton Constitution, where itTs
declared that the right of property is before and
higher than any constitutional sanction, and the
right of the owner of a slave to such slave and
its increase, is the /311140 as any personal right.
. Ho had a higher respect' for the Lecompton Con
ventiiin than for the Supreme Court, because tho.
Convention had' been snore explicit than the court
in eta ting just what they meant. Ile did not deny '
that in the States tolerating slavery there warta
legal property in, States. In some of the free
States there was qualified property in human
beings.- In Now Hampshire, criminals were sent
to thopanitontiary, for the public good,and anybody
might contract with the warden haying the eus,o
dy of these prisoners for then' labor. The Mira
recognise his right to the labor of the convicts, and
he eat take them where be pleases, within the ju
risdiction of that State ; but If he shall cross the
Connecticut river, and undertake to make them
quarry marble in the Green Mountains of Vorment,
his right to their labor would cease. Preoisely
similar was the right of the slaveholder to the
labor of his slaves. It is legally right where
slavery exists by law, but nowhere else
The moment the slave goes beyond the jurisdic
tion Which impotent servitude. that moment he was
free. There was an essential difference between
the labor of human beings and the right of property
in inanimate things, and in the brute creation. -
A. man may go all oVer the world with a horse,
and everywhere, both among eivilized and savage
nations, his right to ownership will be respected.
This right does not depend upon the existence of
a statute law, but because, by the universal con
sent of msnkiad, a horse is the subject of pro
perty. When the home was created he was made
to be the property of man, and man was made to
own him. The right dates back to the earliest
period of recorded time. When God created the
earth and gave it to man to cultivate, and filled
the land with cattle, and the Ben with fish, and the
air with fowls, God gave mon dominion over the
cattle, and the fish, and the fowls, but nevealgave
him dominion over his follow-man. He re. rved
his last and greatest work for his own peculiar
ownership. This distinction had been recognised
by every writer who ever wrote on the subject,
and by no States more clearly and decisively then
by Virginia Maryland, and Louisiana, and other
slaveholding States.
It has also been recognised by the unanimous
concurrence of every member of the Supremo
.Court of the United States; and in support of his
argument he road extracts from various authori
ties. During his remarks bo declared that if the
attempt was persisted in, to force the Lecompton
Conititution on the people of Kansas, he hoped
they would fight and resist even unto blood and
death.

Mr. Fr.onnsen, of Pennsylvania, advocated send

Mr. hiILLSON, of Virginia, confessed to ouch

Mr. Suwon'', of Georgia, thought the subject

COUNCILS AND SCHOOL DIRECTORS
[For The Prom)
Mn. Emma : In the report of the proceedings
of Select Council, at their adjourned stated meet
ing yesterday, published in your paper of this
morning, I perceive that "Mr. Cuyler moved to
strike out $3O in each section of the appropriations
fur clerk hire." The same gentleman contended,
in support of the motion, that the " labor and du
ties of the secretary of any ono of the sectional
boards wore not equal to those of a director trho
faithfully di Trhargel hit duties."
Now, Mr Cuyler has been a school director,
and, as far 119 I know, a good and faithful one.
How, therefore. he could have made such e
wont, I ant at a lots to conceive ; as ho must know
that the semetery is always a school director, and
is in nowise relieved of a director's duty, but has
that of secretary suporadded.
If, then, he perform both duties well and faith
fully, (us I know the secretary of the board of
uhieh I have the }tenor ta he a member doe,),
how eon he pe , sibly do less than if be performed
but into duty
The ftlemrdity of the proposition is manifest :
and Mr. Cuyler must ho aware that a secreter} of
one of our sectional hoards enjoys no sinecure ;
that his position makes largo demands upon his
time and patience; that considerable alit sty end
great oare are essential in the proper discharge of
the mtinifold duties over and always ("moiling
upon him. In short. I hold, end every director iu
the county still agree with me, that it would have
been far mom just to have added fifty dollars to
the very illiberal allowance heretofore ghee, than
to strike it off altogether.
1 do most earnestly hope the gentlemen of Com
mon Councils will not concur in en net en discre
ditable to the judgment, and generosity of their
confreres of the Select Chamber.

as follows :
.111dtes and Gentlemen s You have convened
hole today to witness this institution bestow its
honors and authority upon these who are justly
entitled to receive them. Every nation has had its
peculiarities, and every ago its observance of
customs and manners Custom often has the full
force of acknowledged law and authority—some
tires oppressive and arbitrary, at other times
courted and followed with ploneuro. All of us
are bound, either in the iron or silken chains of

public to witness our medical ceremonies ; and.
with pleasure, we greet your attention and pre

in this lesson many refuse to follow If it were

It may seem a little strange to you that I should

Yet, this fact will he readily admitted, when I as

wards and necessities of the sick. This conclusion
will carry n 4 back to the early dawn of creation.
Hence, we claim that medicine is the most ancient,
if not the honorable of all profee4ions.
To ho sure, we have to take the broad and not
generally acknowledged ground, that whoever pre

It le the reasoning power exhibited In the mind
of man, that has flattered him with the idea of
setting up an independent action of his own; and
in the reckless adventure to govern himself he
daily pays the penalty of breaking a law superior
to his own.
With admiration we may view the almost un

watery elements, shaken with fury to alarm, or
allayed Into calmness to admire—whether in the
concentrated lice of electricity which purifies the
air to enervate our souls, or in the dark-mantled
cloud that pours down a deluge, passing away with
the rainbow of peace—whether in the glittering
gold and priceless diamond, or in the earth that
yields our daily bread, and fills our cups with pure
cold water;, whether here or there—in this or

the above-named place, went to the topitost story
of the house. and deliberately loading a revolver, I

The Typos in the Ball Roont.—That the print

Faust, was never snore perfectly demonstrated
than in their Monday evening's devotion to Terp

Typographical Association which then come off,
was one of the most brilliant occasionsitt which the
31uses were ever wooed, or in which the Graces
reeeivtil the homage which is their due. The
company at this splendid affair was all that even
a social enthusiast might have desired. A throng
of beautiful ladies, attired in tasteful costumes
that rendered their beauty still more bewildering
—exquisite music from one of our most celebrates

The Stook Board adjourned this morning without
transacting any businus, in consequence of the
decease of Thomas Wickersham, Esq. Mr. Wick
ersham was, perhaps, the oldest member of the
board, a man of stern integrity, unflagging in
dustry, and rare business. capacity. _lle ray en
deared by many virtues to the other member: of
the hoard, and his lost will occasion as much re
gret u is possible lobe felt in the circles where his
business called him.
In no other calling does the absorbing idea of
business to prevail over considerations of sympathy
or sorrow. as In the trade in stocks; no where else
is i well-known member so little missed by his fel
low/ 13 at that board. However a man may be a
pattern tlo - society. a model of exudates, prtnekt
silty, and politeness, fall of benevolence and ge
nie' good humor, if he be a stock broker mut dies.
the waves of busy life at the board close at onee
over his vacant place, and in the whirl and excite
ment attending the every-day tau' Kolbe is scarce
ly lost to eight ere he is remembered no longer.
Entertaining these views, we may be pardoned
for pausing a moment to pay a tribute to one so
eminently deserting as Thomas Wickersham.
Quite a considerable amount of business was
transacted after the adjournment of the boari,
though prices had rather a drooping tendency.

The increase of enterprises requiring capital.

that during some years, the supply of raw mate

monetary one. A general liquidation became ne

Brea these effects prodneed on a grand scale in the

England. There have been equal inflations in
France. bat they have not been of a nature to at
feet the country at large. We are but little sub
jected to the faults committed by oar neighbors_
The re.trietiee measures that the Bank of 741.1X4
has bees obliged to take loonier to sustain itself,
have not led to the general bankruptcy which has
adected our neighbors. The real:erica of her
leans has led to no catastrophe. This proven that
our coinnlerce and manufactures have not exceeded
the limits of rode :tee and reason. They have
been strong enough to resist a crisis which was not
of their making. and. after having fee a nee
meet clewed up their sails, they are ready to un

arrives.
The excellent situatlon of the Banker Francs
should be a just subject of pride and eate7tarage

the first signal of decrease of intereft upon dis
