and that she main bo checked in her encroach

HAIRIKIIVRa s June 6th, 1854
Geer.Lasteir 1 have been honored by the re
ceipt of your communication of the 18th
propounding to me certain questions touching the
subject of a prohibitory Liquor Law.
o your first inquiry, f reply that the Sapreme
Court of the Sate have repeatedly held, end I con
cur in the doctrine, that the Legislature can exer
cise all lavv-making, power not expressly lot bidden
by the State or Federal Constitution. finder this
construction, I believe the Legislature have kuthor
ity to control the manufacture and sale of epiritous
liquors ; but in the use of that power, it must be ob
vious that aJaw might be pasted, which, in its de
tails, would be a manifest violation ot the Constitu
tion, end hence the impossibility of answering your
question distinctly, without seeing the exact terms
of the proposed law. ,
As to the second point in the infinity, it Must be
very clear that a law s constitutional in itself ; would
not be rendered otherwise by allowing ,the people
to eeeitte by fee whether the It should
repeal it or not, no matter what the vote might be.
To your second inquirt ,I answer that I sincetely
deplore the evils of intemperance, and am now
willing, as I have always, been to sanction any
proper measure to mitigate, and ii possible, entire
ly remove the vice, but I cannel pledge myself to
sanction a law, the- details of which I have not
seen. The termini the Constitution and oath of
effice would seem to forbid this course on this part
of an Executive. He should be free to lodge of
constitutionality and wisdom of a proposed Jaw
after having fully examined and constdeted
visione.
Yery respectfully, your ob't 'servant,
WM BIGLER.

Gatvt:Emell communication in refinance
to a prohibitory law has been received, and in re.
ply, I would say that the consitolionalny of a
prohibitory taw similar in its essential femme to
the one referred to in your interrogatories, having
received a judicial determination by the highest
Courts of several ol our Staler and the princi.
pie having been recognized by the Supreme Coon
of the United States, lam relieted from the res.
ponsibility of a first decision. These Courts bay•
tug affirmed the •.constituilottality of a prohibitory
law, and being of lbabighest authority, I believe
upon principle and authority. such a law to be con.
sultnional ; and its constitutionality, in my opinion,
would nor be affected by a submission of its tepeel
to a vote of the people.
Every measure of moral or pstitical reform,sant
tioned by the representatives of people, with
in the limits of the Constitution, should receive my
official sanction. The expediency and propriety of
such laws are for the people, through their repro&
etitativesi—and their will constitutionally declared
should be respected by the Executive. If the peo
pfe demand, and their representativerrensa such a
law, their uiR should not hb resisted by the exer
cise of the veto power.gai pnwei purely consetva•
tive and only to tr exercised in cases clearly un
comfit mional, or exhibiting indubitable evidence of
hasty, injurious and imperfect legislation. Such
being my views of official dot in the premises,
should the legislature, the constitutional exponents
of popular will, enact such a law, it would, in the
event ol my election, receive the executive
sanction.

The European Advice'.

They are not nf a decisive character touching the
European War. Much interest, however, at•aches
to the military movements before Siligtia and con-
Orderable importance is given by the Paris and:Lon

Ong of Prussia and the Emperors of Germany.
Thus far the Turks bare decidedly disadvantage
in the siege of Saimaa. Every demonstration by
the Russians had been repulsed, and with a heavy
loss of life, including a number of distinguished of
cars. One account places the killed at 10,000
men ; but an allowance must be made, of course,
for the vagueness, as well as the interested charac
ter of the channels of the report. There is little
question that the Russian commander has had
enough of the siege, until he can be reinforced
He bad retired and established his head-quarters at
Jassy. It is said that the Principalities are swarm•
Mg with Cossack soldiers, and the approach of the
decisive struggle is rendered stilt mote Interesting
by the alliance of the French and English land
forcsi, to join the main body of the Turkish army.
It is possible the Russian commander may give the
allies battle before they effect dila union, though
we see it stated that it will be their policy not to go
out of the way to provoke an attack. The slow
movement of the English army is much complain
..e4 of, and there is a well authenticated rumor that
Napoleon is restive under the delay of his Corn•
mender in the East. So much unnecessary time
appears to be consumed on the Danube, as welt at

as to haie led to the impression that the expects-

Wen that diplomacy or a change of purpose with

real struggle with Russia. The London Press, the
organ of the Derby party, asserts pos.iively that ne

nal of June 12, says: A foolish rumor got in cir•
culation on Saturday, that Senator Douglas wades
pected-here that evening. A eonsidetable feehng
was excited, and a very general disposition mani
fested not to welcome him very cordially. We re.
giet to have seen the popular wave running so
high, bordering as it woulJ, had Senator Douglas
made his appearanee, alrfrotn on personal insult.
While, hotel:mei, this stale of things is to be de
plored, Senator Douglas himself is answerable fur
producing it. Over-riding and stronger than all
party ties, the popular aentimen: is not expresseJ
by dissali.luction—it is deep-rooted displeasure,
shared in as well by his taco& as political oppo
nents, who look upon his course wink feeling akin
to sorrow. It may be proper to state in this con

to visit Illinois until September, when he will find
that we have not misstated the beating of popular

the country to free labor. A caucus Wes held by
the Senators on the subject, at which it was agreed
to take op the bill yesterday, or as soon as the vole
on the Indigent Insane Bill can be taken up, and
