Prohibitory Liquor Laws--The Right
of Searcy and Seizure.
Thecnemies of prohibition have been
Mighty elated (or a few days past, by the
reports of the decision o( the Suprenie
Court of Massachusetts, adverse to the
icamstitutionality of the •prOhibitory law
of that State. In Boston, the friedas•ol
the rum truffle burnt an enormous quan
tity of powder, and fired. three hundred
and sixty-five guns in honor of the'de
cision. As the telegraph wires carried
imperfect intelligence of the event to - all
parts of the country, bar-rooms rang
w i t h th e shout s or toper nod trafficker.
Not a huge b-er saloon, or by -WV,
underground grog shopi . in this slat - , has
remained ignorant m . te ref o:t that the
Maine Law was lakilten down in Masta
ohusetts„ and the decision has been
" affirmed" with all due gravity, by the
lti,ghts of the toddy-stick and i':e trem
bling veterans of King Alcohol's bench.
Men who have gravely contended for•
the constitutional rights" to sell poison
aid get drunk, exclaim with ecstacy,
told you it would he so."
But these rejoicings, firing of guns;
treating of topers, and resolving to have
free trade," have all been premature.
The powder and the extra << treats" are
all tvasted-Lgone for naught. The con
stitutional scruples of men who oppose
the right of search and seizure, have
rec,ived no omfirmation from the Su
preme Court of the, old Bty State. The
decision is not against the law—it is not
against the -right of search, not against
the right of seizure, confiscation, and
destruction. 'fiteso parts of the law arc
strengthened by the decision: They ore
virtually pronaimced valid, and such as
any community may pass for its protec
tion. Justice Shaw says :

The gist of the whole decision is, that
the proceedings before the search and I
seizure, are net in accordance with the
bill of rights respecting the exemption
from unreasonable searches. The oaths,
rind the descripticrts of articles to be
searched'for, are not suffl:iently guarded
and limited—not minute enough in their
designation of articles to he seized. The
whole decision t. bath this extent, no
more." As•we have before intimated,
the - principle of the prohibitory law is
affirmed, settled, made secure in 'Massa
chosetts. It may have rendered it more
difficult to get an exact form of warrant
and correct- mode of search ; but it can
be done, and will be tone. The Htm.

DEVOTED. TO THE PRINCIPLES •OF:DEMOCRACY, AND TUE DISOSEMINATION .
OF, mciRA.LITr. LITERJOTOTIE• AND NEWS:
many or the best lawyer 4 of New Eng
land. We think the Judges were quite
as nice as .Liquor kept in grog
shops. in all sorts of_ve.sels, is. not easily
described. The poison takes every shape,
"monstrous and vasW l and lurks in ves
sels of all kinds; colors, and 'Sizes, from
a tierce to a pint jug'or lather dup.' But
Yankee ingenuity is as " cute", in law
as in whittling, and will 'frame • act
that will do the work, even more ellect
ually than it has ever been done.
It would hmie been singular indeed if
Judges of the Supreme Court of Massa
chusetts had decided against the seizure
and confiscation of rum, thereby making
alcohohc poison the only article in the
World sdcred from such a process. Not
a - State -in the 'Onion exists without
similar laws,, confiscating articles 'under
certain. circumstances. Rhode Island
confiscates-4 fiAertuatt's bnat,seine, and
all apparatus, if he be a citizen of Mas
s-tchusetts found _fishing in, the- Seckouk
river, that divides the two Sites for
some d:siance. !Phcise confiscated arti
cles can be sold or . destroyed, at the
option of the authoriMas. In the same
St to the article salteratus, mixed with
chalk, for the purpose of cheat, is con
fiscated and destroyed. In Mastachu
setts, and, we think, all New -England, a
pecflar must have a license in order' to
st-li certain kinds of goods, nod if he
violates the law, his goods, horse, W agora,
and-all, are confiscated.
In'New-York, if liquor be Sold to any
of the - Seneca Indians, and a' gun or
other article pawned, the article is for
feited and the pawnee has it to pay' fur,
with a fine besides. And, above all, the
laws of the United States lung since
sanctioned the seizure and destruction of
liquor when,it was kept for the purpose
of sellin g to certain Indian tribes; and
that law has" repeatedly been executed.
The general oovernment rrAignizes the
same principle in numerous instances,
and always has, from the foundation of ,
the government. The right to search
for :and seize counterfeiters' tools and
machinery, and gambling instrumenis,
has never been disputed in auy Stee,
unless where gamblers and counterfeiters
are the majority of society. With what
consistency, then, %conld a court pro-\
nounce this liquor confiscation, or search
and seizure, unconstitutional ?
Much has been said -about the expe
dieucv of passing n ptohibitury law in
this S we, without Ch,! right of search.
In oar opinion it would be as efFecival as '
the play of !Fleet with the character of
Hamlet left out. It would not amount
to a - prohibitory law, unless provisions
"even More obnoxious (to the rum seller
and ruin drinker, especially.) were pot
ut is place. A grog shop might stand
on every corner and men come reeling
ont, the walking, disgusting proof of the
vile trade within, and . unless search
could be made for the hideous monster,
it could not .he stopped. The drunken
Witness would forget, if brought on,the
stand, that he ever drank any liquor
there ; over and over again have we
witneised this kind of perj•try in such
cats s. The " best proof" is the liquor
itself, and the best use of it to b,. turned
into the streets and swallowed by old
mother earth, for she would purify• it
•and not het drunk'on it. The vitality of
any prohibitory law is the right of gbing,
to the' fountain of the evil--:-the rum bar
rel and to e.vrenie it.
Men talk of law as if it s was a dicta
tion what they _should keep in - their
houses, or what they should eat and
drink. No law that has ever been
paszed on the subject has ever attempted
to do any such thing. It leaves private
houses unmolested, and does not. pretend
to dictate what a person shall eat or
drink, any more than a law to prey' - ni
the sale of unwholesome meat or vegeta
b;es declares that no vegetables or meat
shall be, eaten. A man has afl the
t. rights " to eat putrid flesh that he has
to drink whislv. The law will not in
terfere with him in either case, so long
as he offers it to no one else. If . be, is
complained of for constantly offering un
wholesome food for sale, the law will
take means to bring him to an account
for it. When it does this, the criminal
Would only be laughed tit for asserting
that the law interfered With the right of
men to cat what
.they pleased. There
is no argument against the Maine Law,
but what 'strikes _ a blow at other laws
involving the same principles, including
the right'of search, seizure, confiscation,
and destruction of the pois On.
Home for Actual Settlers.
One of the measures which the Free
Democratic party desires to-ellect, is, the
granting- of 80 or 160 acres of Govern
ment land to every landless pan, willing
to settle upon and cultivate such land.
With the growth of our party, _this
measure is growing in strength. ,It is
manifeit that if, the. Government freely
gives-bland, in small .quantities, to the
landleis, the,small farmers will be
,en-
couraged . to,goort the national domain,
and pre-occupy he lands,lo the preju 7

scores of unpaid laborers. -This,-is. the

MR. EETIOR:::-I Send you herewith a
manuscript this day received from the
author, with a reqtfest that I -sliduld
have it inserted :in such newspapers
as have an extensive circulation iu our
interior couuiies.
'The writer exiiress.e's himielf as un
used to new paper composition, but de
sires. earnestly that this small tribute
from him, in oppo:itioci 'to the accom
plislnem of Ali:. iutatnous Nebras.- - .1,:a out 7
rare, may - be extensively read by our
citizens.
The name of the writer is with me,
*and though he is personally unknown
to me, yet I am assured, not only by his
name, (a name of winch the old Domin
kit has some reason . to be proud,) but
also by the high standing of the gentle
man who introduces him.to - me, that his
opinions ete worthS..of great regard. •
But, ho'ing been for more than twen
ty-five years thoroughly conversant.with
the movements of the mimics. of Slave
ry in the North, I, of course, cannot as
sent to his charges against them ; neither
du 'I find in that series of outrages, called
the compromises of 1830, any cause of
rejoicing on the part of the friends of
universal Freedom.
'Vile gentleman should know, and he
would know, 'if he lived here, that the
old stories that the people of the North
who, note or in past . iinies, have been
opposed to Slavery, have sent emissaries
to the South, to stir up the Lo•to
sum:Clio/1, are completely exploded, and
no one who pretends to any intelligence
will attempt to reiterate them.
'The writer it seems is no abolitionist ;
he is, however, wide awake to the
great evil of the extension of Slavery,
and I trust his faithful warning may not
be lost upun our citizens, but that we
may, indeed, be aroused ere it is too
late, to utter our indignant protest against
this most high-handed outrage.upon our
rights as freemen, and upon that solemn
agreement, entered into by, our prede
cessms, not to seller this institution, at
war alike with the justice of Heaven
and the laws of Nature, to extend itself
farther North•than it therrexisted.

Tours Truly, J. CI.
To the Citizens of Pennsylt,ania:
The following- lutes are penned by a
man of Southern birth, whose interests
whether of property or family are en
tirely Southern. lie is conscious that
he differs from the general sentiment
here which inclines , to accept a fancied
boon now offered. by Northern Politi
cians; but he is deeply impressed with
the-danger. to all sections, and particu
larly to the South which will follow the
disturbing of questions formerly settled,
and desires to give utterance to his sen
timents, however feebly, in opposition
to the extension- of Slivery beyond its
present,limits.
When, after the Mexican treaty was
ratified by the President and Senate of
the United States, a vast territory was
acquired in the - West, the momentous
question was forced - uporr the Country .
for adjustment, whether it should be al
lowed to carry slaves and hold then),
there. The difficulty of a .settlement
was increased by the course Which bad

wizens in the North and West, for a
number of years, under the influence of
a mistaken zeal. They flooded the ta
bles of Congress with memorials calling
upon them to pasi,measures . which they

which the Southern people deemed of
fensive and even dangerous to them.

It was and is'noW-eiti4isively believed
that slavery having been prohibited in
that country by Mexico, it would sn
pass into. the possession of the. United
States, and continue subject to the same,
-unless' the said cop.ditions . were changed
by Congress; and' accordingly, several .
attempts were made- to induce Congress
to interfere. Some proposed to extend
the line of the Missouri Compromise act
of 1820, viz: 09 deg. :30 min.. of north
latitude, westward to the. Pacific ; others,
to declare that thd land was acquired -by
ear - 1)(mM eflorts and treasure, and all cit

of :13 deg.. :30 min.—and by the an
