Barnes on the Sale of Intoxicating
Liquors.
[Below we publish, by request, a couple
of extracts from an argument put forth by
Rev. 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.

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 '

upon their property thus (mined; let them
