George R. Riddle as Senatorial, and Samuel Jones,
Thomas Donnelly, Alex. Black, and Thomas Hamil
ton, as Representative delegates. -
The following' Resolutions, submitted by. Dr.
Power, were adopted unanimously.
Resolved, That we recognise in James K. Polk,
the fearless and able Statesman, in the unwaver
ing and devoted Ratriot—and that we have every
cOnfidenCe in his ability, that, whether in war or
in peace, the rights of our common country. and
our patriotic honor will be protected and main
tained.
Resolved, That the Convention, representing the
Democracy of Allegheny County, have undimin
ished Confidence in the rapacity, integrity and pat
riotism of Francis R. Shank—that in all his acts,
siiiihe Chief Magistrate of this Commonwealth,
we recogniae the faithful, honest and incorruptible
man. That during his administration, nothing has
been committed or done by him which has proved
derogatory to himself or inconsistent with the
principles of the Democratic party—and that he is
eminently,' entitled to the continued support of the
Democracy of the State for a second time.
ResolvCd, That we have confidence in the Dele
gates chosen by this convention, and that they are
hereby instructed to vote for, and use all honora
ble means to procure the nomination of Francis R.
Shunk as a candidate for Governor.
The following Resolutions were offered by R
LI. Kerr, Esq., and adopted, after considerable dis
Fiesoived, That We are decidedly opposed • to a.
further increase of the County Taxes, for the pur
pose of 'giving additional compensation to the
County Commissioners„who slow receive-each SO
per week—and is sufficient for the duties they per
form. They came into office with the promise of
retrenchment and reform. The people can now
- judge of Whig sincerity.
• Resolved, That we most respectfully request the
-Legislature to appropriate a sum of money, which,
in 'their wisdom they may deem proper, to "aid
and comfort" the families that are now made des.
titute by their protectors volunteering to serve
their country with the War with Mexico.
Dr. Jonas R. M'Clintock then introduced the

.Resolvcd, , Thot the recent success of our towns
man, Lieut. Jas. L. Parker, and his gallant corn:
rades,in burning the schooner Creole, under the
guns of the Castle of Sin de Ilium, is worthy .
- the admiration of the country, and demands an
expression of file exalted estimate we place on
the chivalry and daring that directed and closed
this perilous exploit. -
• Resolved, :That the conduct of the officers and
ereiveof tifb Somers on the occasion of the loss of
that vessel, amongst whom our own Parker and '
his commander Semms were eminently distin

courage, and self-sacrificing spirit that
promotes our gallant little Navy.
Retolvtd; That a copy of the foregoing resolu

Ma. tilaint:—The following extracts com
-pose the'abitract of a Lecture upon the subject of
vrau,the rights it involves and the duties it im
poSes, Delivered by me before the- Washington
Literary Institute, at Washington, Pa. I regret to
learn that the Lecture, was supposed -by some to
have a political bearing. To my own mind there
is nothing in it of party.. I believe every senti
ment in'it to beessentially American, and my own,
objectioh- to it was that I had expressed myself
too tamely upon the subjects involved. If after ex
amination the ideas I havethrowil out axe ascertain
ed to,bdthose of a putty in America, and not those
of -the -American people, I must confess that I'
feel it ati honor to belong to that party that pro
fesses the feelings faintly attempted to be portray
ed in the Lecture. I trust that a perusal of the
ILecturdin print will disabuse the minds of those
who have deemed its sentiments objectionable on
party giounds.
Fours, respectfully, ,

VAR-ITS EMITS AND DUTIES.
XTRACTS.
The . rights of men and their relative duties do
not bechmedestroyed when they enter into a state
ofSociety and forma Nation. They exist some
where and although merged as relates to each oth
er as members of the nation, in the social relation
itself; yet so far us regards other nations the rights
and duties of man in his natural state and the prin
ciples of natural justice 3 emain in their full force,
and in:relation to these, nations exist as natural
persons living in a.state of nature, and are govern.
ed by the same laws as individuals living in a state
of nature. -
As between individuals in a state of nature, so
hetweeb nations there is no umpire to appeal to in
the case of a violation of right, and the refusal of'
redress; so that under these circumstances the na-1
tion whose rights have been violated is its own urn-1
pine and must seek redress or revenge if necessary 1
in such way as will Vindicate its rights and enable
it to preserve them from more violation. There 1
is however this very material distinction between 1
nations 'and individuate in a state of nature; that
with the latter any violation of right must meet
1 with immediate redress or be passed over in silence; I
but in relation to the former, time may be allowed I
after.the violation of natural laws for the discus-
I sing the merits of the question, and prudence and
wisdom, amongst nations may heal up many sub- 1
'Acts of-controversy that in a state of nature would
lead to; actual strife. It is utterly inconsistent
with nations possessing character and confident in
their own strength and resources to involve them-'
selves - In hostile measures so long as there is any
reasonable mode of obtaining redress without such
resort, and the'calamities attending war carried on ! I
in its most 'humane form are so terrible that na- I
none having any pretensions to humanity will re I
sort to every means not inconsistent with their
dignity. and glory, in order to avoid them. But
every nation is bound to take care not to permit
its rights to be violated with impunity, and not to
permit other nations even to suspect that it is
wanting in courage, in a due sense of its own
rights; or does not esteem true glory as essential
to its welfare. A nation no more than a natural
r esson moss bus .s. sluggard, nor exhibit any
bluntness in its perceptions as to those matters in
which its honor and renown consists. A nation
has duties to perform towards itself, and it is a
matter of the highest obligation that it should not
permit injuries to be offered to it -with impunity,
I or insult to go unavenged.
No nation can without forfeiting the respect of
other nations, permit the integrity of its territory
to be Violated, and if another nation with a pre
tence of a claim, will pass its boundaries and at
tempt to exercise jurisdiction within its borders,
nothing but a prompt satisfaction can excuse the
nation towards whom so great an injury is offered,
from making it a cause of hostility. Again, a na-'
tion is composed -of all the individuals Ivho are
embraced within its jurisdiction; it is the duty of
the nation to defend the rights of every one of its
citizens, and if the rights of any one be violated,
the nation, which is bound to protect every indi
vidual belonging Wit, is bound to demand redress
of the nation violating the laws of natural justice.
towards such members of the community, and ift
redress is not afforded it constitutes a "cants Belli,"
a cause of war against the offending nation.
It is equally a cause of war, when the property
I of the-citizen of one country is seized by the gov
ernment of another, in violation of national law;
and unless redress is offered, and the citizen whose I
rights are so violated is restored to the same con
, ditionln which he was before the violation, the
nation to which he belongs is guilty of the highest
injustice, if it does not compel the offending na
tion, by force, to , do justice.
Letus examine this subject a little in detail
with reference to facts alleged to exist, sod with
out involving ourselves as to the correctness of
the assertions made. Let us see how the princi
ples already referred to would apply in case the
alleged facts-arc true. .
It is alleged that the State of Texas lately ad
mitted into the Union, extends to the Rio Grande. ,
If so, it will be admitted that the United States, as
a nation, has juiisdiction to the shores of that river.l
It is admitted that the Mexican nation crossed'
that boundary, hoisted its flag—the emblem of na
'tional,authority—within the jurisdiction, caused
an armed force to cross the river and commence
hostilities uportsthe authorized agents of the Gov
ernment of the Union. Herethere was a trespass
upon what we claim as our frontier; here an actual
invasion of American soil; a setting up a jurisdic
tion. Within our territory. Suppose this to be a
true state of the facts, it is an act for which, ac.
cordiqg to all writers on national law, we had a
right to claim redress, and failing in that, it be
came ?Ls regards us a cause of war, and this entire
ly independent of the fact that the curse pursued
by the Mexican Government was actual war,
'whicli; upon the supposition before referred to, we
had alright to resist.
It has been alleged that on many occasions the
persons of our citizens, pursuing their lawful call
ings within the jurisdiction of Mexico, and not
violating any laws or customs of the country,
have, in violation of the law of nations, and of the
municipal laws of Mexico, been forcibly seized by
the authorities of that Republic, have been impris
oned, cruelly treated, in some instances deprived of
their lives,: and in others treated with the grossest
indignities, and ruined in their fortunes and estates,
by the, most tyrannical and unheard of acts of
fraud'and wickedness; and that the Mexican gov.
emtnetit, althoUgh admitting the facts, refuse to
redress, the grieimnces or to remunerate the suffer.
era. supposing this to be the true state of
tire. tale, can any doubt exist upon the mind of
thosel,iho have leisure to, reflect on the subject,
that all this liffords a awn of war against that
Republic.

It is asserted to that in numerous' instances our
merchants, trusting to the ecmametcialyegulations
of Mexico, have sent ships and eiiviis of 'great
value to that country, and thatin violation of gond

faith that Ought to exist amongnations such ships'
have.been seized , their cargoes confiscated, and the,
officers-and seamen cast into l,oatbsome dungeons,
*here some of them have perished, and others only
escaped to be inflicted with painful diseases (lu
ring the residue of their lives, and that all appeals
to the humanity and sense of justice of Mexico
has proved unavailing. Now does it not at once
occur to every mind well balanced. and governed
by moral feelings and a sense of right, that we are
bound, should' a' case of this description be made
out, to avenge such violations of national law and
compel redress by the only means that remains to
a nation which feels a due regard to the lives and
forums of its citizens, and its own sacred honor.
I wish, to be fully-understood as not intending to
intimate any thing as to the correctness of the •
facts here adverted to, or as giving the slightest
political bearing to my subject. lam merely gala
lag upon topics of common and popular discussion
for the purpose of illustrating and enforcing my
subject; as these are apt to make a stronger im
pression than any hypothetical state of facts, how
ever forcible. Supposing that such a condition of
things exists as to authorize a State to make war
upon another, we next come to inqui re, what is war?
Now as in municipal governments and under
municipal laws an action or suit is the assertion of
one's rights in a court of justice; so in controversies
between nations, war is the assertion of the rights
of a nation by force, and the rights acquired by a
state of war are, first, a right to the redress of the
grievances complained of; second, a restoration of
the nation whose rights have been violated, to the
condition in which it was before the violation, em
bracing a compensation for all the damages inci
dent to the forcible prosecution of its rights; and,l
lastly, the deprivation of the offending nation oil
its power of doing future mischief by entirely suls-1
doing it, or taking from it such pledges as may be'
necessary to insure its future fidelity to the law of
nations.

The right to redress those injuries which gave
rise to war, is so obvious as scarcely to need re
mark, and the other rights mentioned are corolla
ries of the first. The great object of war is to
compel the nation against which hostilities are en
forced, to do justice- This can only be , done by
possessing ourselves of its territory, capturing its
ships on the high seas, taking the towns and cities,
investing and conquering the fortresses of the of
fending natio', and where it offers armed resistance,
subduing the armies sent out to oppose the progress
of the nation making these demonstrations. 'Now
as ail -these matters are necessary .in order to
procure the - objects for uhich War is instituted,
these are among the lawful rights of war. What
ever, then, is essential to carrying these objects
into effect, is lawful, and is indeed our duty. The
right of compelling an enemy to do us justice and
to satisfy our claims upon him, involves the right
of overrunning his country, and, if resisted, that of
taking the lines of those who offer tesistance.—
This is one of the most essential and obvious,
rights involved in war. If the enemy who opposes
us in war does so with force and armaments, the!
Wiling of the opposing forces, taking them captive,'
taking from them all the material of war, is ne
cessarily involved in our right to subdue them.—
Whenever resistance is made, then so much force
as is necessary to put down such resistance, and,
if necessary for the prevention of future resistance,
the slaughter of the whole resisting force is a mat-I
ter of right, and in many instances the voice of
humanity cannot be listened to, where obvious ne
cessity requires a terrible example should be made
and prompt punishment inflicted. What are fro
-1 quently called the horrors and calamities of war, ,
!are but the necessary incidents , inflicted upon an,
1 obstinate enemy, and those that are accustomed
as we are, to nothing but peaceful relations with
I other nations, cannot, without same reflection upon
I its necessity, look with proper complacency upon
'the carnage and destruction which necessarily
accompanies every war prosecuted with the ener
gy and activity with which it ought to be carried'
on. Whilst war is repelled from our 'borders, we
feel its effects only in the waste of life it occasions
amongst ourselves. Our own losses fill us with
` grief and horror, and it requires time and a full
1 knowledge of the necessities of the case, even fur
the most patriotic to place in the balance, against
so much loss of life; so much of the acquisition of
war, so ninth of victory, and to allot so much to the
destruction of our enemies, anti so much to the
I fact that those who have fallen have done it in the
assertion of those rights, the restoration of which
are involved in war. It is a long time before we
reconcile ourselves to the idea, that of necessity in
' war, the best blood of the natioh must be tfoured
forth in torrents, and the soldiers who are pressing
on to necessary conquest, are in truth but victims
sacrificed to that grim moloch who is invoked only
in cases of the highest necessity, and whose wor
shippers must offer the sacrifice of the blood of
their own children upon his altar. A nation is
composed of all and every member of the society
of which it consists. Every Man, woman and
child of the nation is an integral part of RI and
hence it follows, that every individual in one na
tion at war with another, is at war with every in.
dividual in the nation against whom it is carried
on. It would be an absurdity in terms to suppose,
that a nation can be at war with another nation,
and yet that the subjects, citizens or individuals
composing each nation, can be' at peace. s A na-
tion consists of the individuals in that nation; and
therefore, if the individuals that composer the na
tion are not at war. the nation itself is not at war.
It arises from this circumstance, that all the peo
ple of Mexico, with whom we are now at war,
are our enemies, and that by right of war, we may I
subdue their persons and acquire their property,
and to the extent that may be necessary for the
enforcement of our rights, and compelling them
in the aggregate to do justice' to our claims.—
We may subdue and slaughter the'people, and take
possession of all the property which is deemed essen
tial to the purposes which have given rise to the
war. I speak here of the general rights which exist
in a state of hostilities,what may be termed the laws
of war stricti juris, and not of those rights as they
have been modified in modern times, and amongst
the most civilized nations. The right of plunder,
the sacking of cities, the destruction of property
public and private, and the masacre that even in
modern wars so frequently follow after long pro
tracted and wasteful sieges, and especially where
fortresses are captured byault, are all necessary
rights growing out of a state of war, and depend
ing upon the discretion of those to whom it is in
trusted and whose duty it is to gain the objects of
the war by the readiest aid speediest means, and
no means will more probably lead to a speedy ter
mination of hostilities, than those calculated to
awake terror by the severity of their infliction.
Besides, we have the right to inflict summary pun
ishment, first upon the principles of revenge, and
next upon those of prevention in the same way
and for the same purposes that punishment is in
flicteitin societies. My object is to bring before
you the harsh, but true principles upon which the
laws of war are founded, in order that you may see
its full nature and bearings, and be able to appre
ciate the condition in which a state of war natural.
ly places a nation. There is a modern school of
diplomatists, who are averse to carrying on War
upon the otily principle upon which it can be pros
ecuted, and are disposed to introduce into it prin
ciples of humanity, entirely alien to its successful
prosecution. But it must be recollected, that these
ideas had their origin in Great Britain, and were
intended to be levelled against the French, at the
period of the wars ;rowing out of the French Rev
olution. These wars were carried on by France
at the expense of the nations against whom they
were waged, and they supported their armies by
contributions and levies, destroyed and sacked
cities and plundered the inhabitants of the invaded
countries with little remorse. But when the Brit
ish became engaged in the continental wars they
came in as allies and auxiliaries, they were driv
ing the French out of the country of their own
friends, and were compelled to subsist their armies
on their own resources. They could not plunder
the Spanish and Portuguese whom they came to
protect, nor sack their cities, nor support them-.
selves upon the labor of their peasantry: Hence
they strove to introduce new maxims in war, and
to insist upon principles of humanity that from
' their relation with continental Europe they were
bound to. preserve at the hazard -of being otherwise
considered enemies and not allies. But the French
adhered to old maxims, such as are obvious to

common sense, and although they carried on

under them are concerned, they form' Midi

,
That nation which lies beMathe oicasion . of

assailants have the right te•sustainthemselvesei k .
the property of those that have compelled the use
of force by their violation of duties, is an idea no
more to: be reprobated than that, in civil society,

the property of) another renders an action at law
necessary, slyiuld be compelled to discharge the.
Costs and expenses to which the .proseeutor is put
in the assertion.of his• claim; and' those who ex
claim as loudly as some do against the inhumanity
of subsisting an army at the expense of the inhabi
tants of an enemy's country, are governed by a
false standard of humanity, and neither , compre
hend the principles of natural justice nor of nation
al law.. Besides the support to which armieware
entitled; and the claims of a nation to be maven
sated for the expenses of a war, 'undertaken upen
justifiable grounds, the right or acquisiticm of' ter,
ritory, entire conquest of a nation.a subversicht of
its government, and the incorporation of its people
into the nation of the conquerors, is a right clearly
defined and fully supported, both upon principles
of justice and the authority of the writers upon
national law. And this right may be exercised or
not, by the invading nation, as circumstances may
render it incumbent upon it, for its present advan
tage or its future protection; it follows, thee, that
the laws, jurisdictions and customs of the conquer
ed nation may be abrogated, and the laws and in-,
stitutions of the conquerors interposed In their
stead.
Having perhaps more largely than.thetime al
lotted to me warranted, entered bath the rights of
conquest, I now proceed brieflytrieonsider the du
ties of the citizens of a country inVOlied in war;
and their duties are obvious from what we al
ready advanced. For if a nation consists of the
individuals that compose it, and if in a state of
war every Individual of the one nation is at war
with every individual of the hostile nation, it fol
lows that every citizen is bound by a moral as well
as political tie, to do all in his power to subdue the
individuals of the-hostile country; for the indi
vidual citizen of a nation at war can give aid and
comfort and assistance to each other, it would fol
low that the ebjects of hostility would never be at
tained. A violation of this principle is absolutely
suicidal of all the purposes for which war exists,
and if the nation cannot control its citizens, os if
the individual citizens have so little idea-of the ob.{
ligations they owe to society, as to give to the in
imical nation their counsel and assistance, they not
only sacrifice their own rights which have been
violated, but abet their enemies in thevery acts of
injustice; which, as a nation, they seek to punish.
This courte of couduet deserves the severest _ani
madversion, and will he reprobated by all those in•
dividuals who have not lost sight of their country,
and will rarely be practised by any who are not
too tenacious of their own opinions t 6 see in its
true light the enormity of such a course. The best
way to obviate the horrors of war is to bring it
to a speedy conclusion, and this cannot be obtain
ed without a union of all the citizens of a nation in
the hcistile operations rendered necessary by a statel
of war. The refusal to participate in such al
union argues a fatuity if nothing worse, and the
question as to whether a nation is right or wrong
in embarking in a war, is not to be argued amidst'.
the din of arms or the sound of cannon, and those
who, under such circumstance; seek to embarass
the action of a nation or its government, incur a',
responsibility of the most dangerous description.
I But upon this point, with both an audience, it is
unnecessary to reason. There is that in our con. i
stitutip more active than reason, .and above it,,
there is something in the human heart. that is far
quicker in its perceptions, than any thing in the]
human bead—something that anticipates the slow
. operations of the brain, and lightens, as with elec.
trier rapidity. every faculty of our being. Thatl
something, indefinable and undefined, is the pore
principles of patiriotism, the love'of our country's
glory, her honor and renown. I
What then is patriotism? it is no local affection,,
no transient impression: It is the promethian fire' 1
which, kindled in the heart of childhood by the 1
stress{ magic of a satatistraa voicc .burus

extinguishable fervency, so lon as lifeenduies
It is that, which in youth throws its briglit charms
lover the page of history when we real of our coun
try. her soldiers, her sages and her statesmen. It
is that which inspires us as we, advance in life and.
look forward to the destinies of our beloved Amer-,
ica with visions of gtory too dazzling for the men-1
tal eye to gaze upon. It is that spark, that', when
the sky is shrouded with the blood tinged. canopy
of war, electrifies the nation, rouses the youth to
arms, and pours upon the arena, thousands of no-,
hie spirits panting for the contest and rushing an
irresistuble torrent to the field of glory. It is that l,
celestial phantasy, which. reflecting upon the illus.
trious dead, whose names live in their country's fame
and can only expire when that country is extinct,
' sees, 'or seems to see them, as in some glorious
viaiori, looking from their high mansions above,
with smiling aspect, and cheering their descen
. dant . * onwanl in the path of honur'and immor
tal fume. It is that all pervading Deity which,
when nature becomes exhausted and we turn our
eyes, with a last lingering look to the land of our
love inspires us with the ford hope that weave about
to join the noble band of the great and illustrious
who have gone before us to the land of spirits, and
over whose sacred ashes the most precious tears
of our Republic Live been shed. It is in fine the
feeling that warms every heart, that brightens
every eye, that flushes on every cheek and speaks,
in every voice of this assembly. It has been the
foundation of all our greatness, it is the precursor
of a magnificence for which DO pencil can find a
coloring and which no language is sufficiently
glowing to describe.
But how are We to designate our country?
Where was the country of the ancient Romans?
Whereverthe Eagles flew, whatever ground her
gallant legions occupied. Where is the country
or the new Romans, the great Republic of modern
days, it is there where her standard flouts the sky,
over, the heads of her. brave and nnsubdued sol
diery; her boundaries are deSignated by her stripes
and stars, and wherever her standard floats ; wher
ever her legions advance under the orders of her
constituted authorities, MSc attest it, thou sa
cred genius of our common country—witness it
ye immortal spirits, that having fought her battles
and achieved her independence, now look down
upon us with your benignant smiles! There, Old
there is the country of the patriin—there the boun
daries which he is bound to defend, with his heart's
blood against the iricurtions of a hostile foe. Yes,
wherever that banner floats, wherever those heroes
advance, there, I repeat it,
.is the country of the
patriot. Whether out the Bay of St. Francisco, the
batteries of Tampico, the fortress of San Juan de
Ulloa, or the heights of Monterey, the mountains
or the plain, it is all one, the Patriot follows the
Standard of his Country—the Lest demarcation of
her boundaries is the impreSs of her soldiery.
Who Is there with an American heart, that would
not turn hack with fire and sword the enemy who
dared pass the barrier where the bones of the Amer
icau Soldier lay bleaching amidst the dews of
heaven, or where his grave had been dug in the
chapperall. Never should the ground over which
he had adtianced, which was consecrated by his
blood, or wherein his ashes reposed be desecrated
by a foreign footstep or disgraced by a foreigu flag.
Honor, enduring honor to the noble spirits who
are bearing their country's banner to the remotest
regions of the south; and disgrace, deep, damnable
and indellible, upon the craven who would yield
one inch of that territory that has been gained by
a patriot soldier's b100d.%

TEMPERANCE MEETING
A meeting of our citizens in favor or enforcing
aovisions of the late License Lek-, %vas held
Mr. Te*ale'i Church, on-TUesday evening.—
Widr..tax 'PcrrErt tank - 'the , Chair; Yice
Presidents P:CoOleyynnd Win. Jack; Secretariei,
...-
Dr. S. Dilworth and S..lltecaskey.
The objet of the meeting appeared to be to take
into- consideration the matter of. a Petition sent to
tbe Legislature by about 'one hundred btisiness
,firms and 'others," praying a change . in the Li
cense LaW, so as to allow wholesale dealers, and
the principal (large) Hotels to deal in liquors.
The Petition referred to, sets forth, in substance;
that by enforcing the provissions of the Law,:an
immense injury will be done to the business and
commerce of the city of Pittsburgh and also the
_county. We qnote.as follows from it: '
"Permit us to tall . your attention to the fact
'that in the counties of Armstrong, Westmoreland,
Greene and Somerset; none of which are included
in this law, (and Fayette; which is,) there are a
great many Whiskey Distilleries, all of which
have hitheito found a market in Pittsburgh for
their production. This law continuing -in exist
ence, will Of ueeessity compel them to seek anoth
er, poorer and more distant market for its sale—
will have the effect to drive to another State, many
of our most estimable citizens to conduct mbusi
ness which embraces near one fourth of the Whole
corn - me:Cc of our city. Thus we see that its oper
ation is Wide-spread, touching the farmer,,produ
cer, factor, and consumer. , We wish you, there
fare most respectfully- to pause and modify this
law, ere a!greet injury is committed against the
commerce; of our city ". ,
.11esolatiOns were adopted at the meeting on
Tuesday night protesting against the arguments
of the petitioners; Which we copy below. We
find them in the Dispatch :
1. Therefore, Be it Resolved, That it cannot be
possible that the great mass of the voters of Pitts
burgh, Allegheny City and the borough of 'Man
chester, who gave an aggregate majority of over
two thousand' VgrS "AGAINST TUC SALE OF Ll
axons " NLere ignorant of the provisiohs of the
law under which that vote was taken, and design
ed to allow the wholesale traffic to continue;while
they put down only the low ruaishops" of our
County.
2. &soled That the demand for intoxicating
liquors, alleged to exist by the petitioners, is• alike
destructive to the temporal and spiritual interests
of the human family; and, that we believe that
such demand has been greatly augmented by the
facilities heretofore aflorded fOr, vrocuring it, and
the great temptations to the community to use it.
3. !trailed, That although, by the constitution.
the Federal Government has the exclusive power
of laying:duties upon imports, the several stales
have ever retained the right to pass such laws as
may, be necessary for the effectual suppression of
vice and immorality—and that, although intokica
tins liquors are made the subject of duty by our
existing and former tariff laws, it furnislies,no ar
' gument, for their indiscriminate use. which does
, not apply with equal force to arsenic and other
poisons.
4. Res*ed, That if, as is aliened by the petition
ers, "nearly one fourth of the whole community of
our city" is embraced in this business, it is high
time thati we should rid ourselves of so unprofit
able a traffic,
and that the energies and capital of
those engaged in it were turned into the channels
of productive industry.
5. fleseilml, That it is our firm conviction that
more injUry has arisen from wholesale traffic and
so-called respectable placet of retailing intoxicat
ing liquors, than from the "low rum shops,' i spok
en of in the petition,—the wholesale houses Consti
tuting the fountains from whence the "low thra
shers' draw their supplies; with which to deluge
the community with pauperism and crime,whilst
the respectable retailers are those who enable men
to take the first step, by which they are degraded
to patronize the lower sinks of vice.
0. Ruoired, That, instead of desiring the exemp l i
-
tion nf "wholesale dealers and our principle ho
tels," .frooJho provisions of
,a law approved by so
large a Majority of fellow citizensove would
respectfully ask. the Legislature to so alter the last
as to pruritic such a penalty for a contempt of its
i provisions, evinced in the commission of'a Second
' offence, as will effectually deter the -wealthy as well
as the poorer classes, from repeated Violations of
its enactments.

A. A. Meson. Market street, discovered a little
fellow named John .111' Williams, in the act of steal
ing the Pert, that had just been left by the carrier.
He seized him, tied him with a handkerchief and
sent, for an officer. He was taken before the Mayor,
who, after examination, sent him to the bill for :14

It is herd to use such small boys so seCeielyi

KIDNAPPERS ABBOUT•
The Mystery states that an attempt was made
last week to kidnap a colored man d in Allegheny
city, named Briscoe, by two or three men from
Western : Virginia. It is said they were assisted by
some of
: the police of that city. Briscoe escaped.
Constable Scott has- made an affidavit settin
forth that he w•as not concerned in the affair.
Dealers in this article are now busily engaged
in filling their houses.- The prospects are fa
vorable to an abundance, Ice was running.in both
livers yesterday
ajlt, has been suggested that aid should be
given to Green, the Reformed Gambler, by onr
citizens,in consequence of the loss he sustained
by the recent fire in Harrisburgh. He is now
engaged in a matter that interests us all, and our
citizens should do something for him. We believe
he received a pledge that his expenses should be
paid while employed in boring for the passage of
-art Anti-Gambling Law; but he has received but
little.
That Ticket we received for the Niagara
Ball is a very beautiful specimen of 'typography.
We shall hand it to the door-keeper on the evening
