Barnes, of Philadelphia, on the traf fic in ardent spirits. We hope that all into whose hands this paper may fall, will take time to read and ponder the state ments contained therein.— Ed.] 1. It is an employment which tends to counteract tins dcsiyit if the very oryftji i zation of society. ; Society is organized on a benevolent principle. The structure of that organization is one of the best adap ted instances of-design, and of benevo t lence, anywherp to be found. It is on this principle that; a lawful employment—an employment fitted to produce subsistence for a man and His family, will not inter fere with .the rights and happiness of oth ers. It may be pursued without violating any of their rights, or infringing their happiness in any way Nay, it may not only interfere with tkpir rights and hap piness, but it will tend to promote direct ly their welfare, by promoting the happi ness of the whole.; Or, for example, the employment of the farmer may be pur sued not only without interfering with the rights or privileges of the mechanic, the physician, or the jpexchant, but it will di rectly contribute tp their welfare, and is indispensable tp it. The employment of the physician not only contributes to -the support of hidself and family, but to the welfare of the! community. It not only does not interfere >ith the rights and hap piness of the farmer and the mechanic, but it tends directly, to their advantage.— The employment of the merchant in law ful traffic, hot pn y contributes to his sup port, but is direetjy beneficial to the whole agricultural copnh Unity; for, as has been Well said, “ the merchant is the friend of mankind.” He 'injures no man, at the same tipie thajt be' benefits himself; and he contributes to the welfare of the com* munity by promoting a healthful and de sirable exchange >f commodities in differ ■ent parts of thd, ] and, and of various na tures. The same is true of the mechanic, the mariner, the i choolmastef, the legisla tor, the book-maker, the day-laborer, the schoolmaster, the lawyer, the clergyman. Now we mainte ih that the traffic in ar dept spirits, asadrink, is a violation of this wise arrengeipeot. It tends to sap the foundation of the whole economy* It is solely ,to benefit|tlie trafficker, and it tends .to evil, evil only, jeVil continually. If eve ry man should act on this principle, socie ty could not exist. ? If every roan should choose an employment that should neces sarily and always lOterfere with the peace, arid happiness, anil morals of others, it would at once break up the organization. If every manufacturer should erect a ma nufactory, as numerous as our distilleries and dram-shops, that should necessarily blight every farm, and produce sterlHfy'jin ifis neighbprjtipod, cy.ery farmer woilid fie gardit as an unlawful employmentand [independent IN EVERYTHING.] iTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1860. xt Jotlrj. BY THE lATE FIGHT. J. G.—England, if pursued, the' business of agriculture would end. If a physician could live only by diffusing disease and death, who would regard his as a moral employment ? If a manner could pursue his business from this .port to Calcutta or Canton, only by importing the plague in every return voy age, who would deem it an honorable em ployment T If an apothecary could pur sue only by killing nine per sons out of ten of those with whom he had | dealing, who would deem it a lawful busi ness.? If a man can get a living in his employment only by fittingout a privateer and preying upon the peaceful commerce of the , world, who will deem it a lawful employment? If a man lives only to make a descent on the peaceful abodes of Africa, and to tear away parents from their weeping children, and husbands from their wives and homes, where is the man that will deem it a moral business ? ■ And why not ? Does he not act on the same; principle as the man who deals in ardent spirits.—a desire to make money, and that only ? The truth is, that in all these ca ses there would be a violation of the great fundamental law on which men must agree to live together in society—a violation of that great, noble, and benevolent law of our organization, an honest em ployment interferes with no other, but may tend to diffuse blessings in the whole circle of human engagements. And the trafficjn ardent spirits is just as much a violation of this law, as in any of the ca ses specified. 2. Every man is bound to pursue such a business as to render a valuable consi deration for that which he receives from others. A man'who receives, in trade the avails of the industry of others, is under obligation to restore that which will be of real value. He receives the fruit of toil ; he receives that which is of value to himself; and common equity requires that he return a valuable consideration. Thus the merchant renders to the farmer, in ex change for the growth of bis farm, the productions of other climes ; the manufac turer, that which is needful for the clo thing or comfort of the agriculturist; the physician, the' result of his professional skill. All these are valuable considera tions, which are fair and honorable sub jects of exchange. They are a'mutual ac commodation ; they advance the interest of both parties. But it js not so with the dealer in ardent spirits. He obtains the property of his fellow-men, and what does he return ? That which tend to promote their real welfare ? That which will make him a happier man? That which will benefit his.family? That which diffuses learning and domestic comfort around his family circle? None of-these things.— He gives him that which will produce poverty, and want, and cursing, and tears, and death. He asked an egg, and he re ceives a scorpion. Ho gives him that which is established and well known as the source of no good, but as tending to pro duce beggary and wretchedness. Now if this were practised in any "other business, it would be open fraud. If in any way you could palm upon a farmer that which is not only worthless,- but mischievous— that which would certainly tend to ruin him and his family, could there be' any doubt about the nature of this employ ment? It makes no difference here, that the man supposes that it is for his good; or that;he applies for it. You know that it is not for his benefit, and you know— what is the only material point under this head—that it will tend to his ruin. What ever he may think about it, or whatever he may desire, you are well advised that it is an article that will tend to sap the founda tion of his morals and happiness, and con duce to the ruin of his estate, and his body, and his soul; and you know, there fore, that'you are not rendering him any valuable consideration for his property.— The dealer may look on his gains in this matter—On his houses, or mortgages, or lands, obtained as the result of bis busi- ness—with -something like these reflec tions:— , “ This property has been gained from other men. It was theirs, honestly ac quired, and was necessary to promote their happiness and the happiness of their families. It has become mine by a traffic which hays not only taken it away from them, but which has ruined their peace, corrupted their morals, sent wo and dis cord into their families, and consigned them perhaps to an. early and most loath some grave. This property has oome from the Jiard earnings of other men; has pass ed into my hands without any valuable compensation rendered; but.has been ob tained , onlywhile I have been diffusing want and mo, and death through their abodes” "Pp.P',, PP-PPP : P ;< P ' Jjet the men engaged in this traffic look upon their property thus (mined; let them survey the wb which has attended it ; and then ask, as honest men, whether it: is a moral employment. ; •. ;'p Pp B®.
