E 4 14.:0W CM/MK—The prohibition of the 1 liqutietratlic as a heverage, is now the ab sorbing question of the ptople of this ,and other States. Such au interest has never before clustered around any question 'of this kind. li is now it questiou of political econ omy, ia 'addition to ; rnoral and religious aspects. ' Each voter Must take patt.in this content hutrian rights. 'You Cannot evade re4pousibiltty, but are accountable to your country audio your Gud, fur the faith- MI and inteiltgent performance of your duty. You should, therefore, make yourself hilly acquainted with the question at issue. Per- mit we to present it with the sincere desire that you may be prepared to act your part faithfully in a matter which so deeply inter ests yoursell and your telluw men. In do lug Phis, I shall ridupt,ilie must simple tom, that while the hl hest intellect may haie food tor thought, the Most• uncultivated, word may deafly understaud the subject. THE QUESTION AT ISSUE This is simply, a change in our laws rela-" ling to the traffic in intoxicating -liquor as a beverage. Prohibition reitiares, first: That the.legal protection of the liquor traffic be abolished.- 7 It as in vain for rneu-to talk of destruyiug the evils of iutemperance by moral micoion, while' he traffic which produces theseevilsasprotec ied . web were 'only licensed to sell, and Leh, like other' citizens, responsible ,fur the legitimate results of their business, the case would be thtferent. Under our present system, they are not only licensed, but they are protected from legal responsibility. They make paupers, but cannot be compelled to support them. They produce crimiutils, , but carioca be tried as accessartes. • They cause rriure distress and sufferiug for meu, women and children, than all other men cotubined,— inure disturbances ut the peace—inure disor der to society ; and yet they cannot be de clared t o it!iisaric'e, because they du it accord ing to law. Nu Other class of men are thus protected. The storekeeper, the butcher, the baker, are all held liable fur the character and results of th,e articles which they sell.-- The doctor fur mal-practice, the mechanic tut his work, and even the religious teacher fur any pernicious doctrines he may advance. Su with most other men. The Liquor seller has no such responsibility. While he dues hot keep a disorderly house, sell to, men of ' ready drulik, ur•to servants and minors, lie may go ou in his work ut ruin and death. The property, character, health, :tut lives of has customers :may 5e degtruyed by the wholesale,• while he tills tits pockets trum the ruin lie has made. . The heart or the Wife way be broken, her children be lett orphans, and society may groan under the burden of pauperism, crime and taxation, while die liquor seller defter respousibility, being' protected by law. Prohibition reqiiires the passage of a law, making it CRLMINAL tti SELL:smart- . rating liquor as 'a beverage. The great duty of leLislatiun is to make built criminal and penal , that which destroys the peace oh society and the rights and happiness of- the, peop.e. Murder, theft, gambliug, and a bust of other things, are putiisliabre at law ; shubld it not make that criminal also, which produ ces all these, more than any thing else 3 Pub lic opinion has decided that the liquor :raffle is immoral, pernicious, and destructive., Law should accord, with public opinion. The raffle should therefore be prohibited—the ,üblic good requires it. ENEMIES TO PROHIBITION. A majority ,uf LIQUOR SV.LLF,RS op pose it. Many of the class have already signed pe titions for the law, and. triany wore refused to sign a remonstrance agatust It. lu this State there areftventY 'thousand engaged in the traffic. The whole, number of rernln•, strants has never exceeded yinity 'thousand.— Two customers at each dealertvould make_the whole number.. Therefore, nui opte•half 'ol dealers, and tint very few of. their :customers would sign the remonstrance. , OWNERS OF PROPERTY, rented for, the sale of ligitor, are opposed; they 'have only- a majority of these.. .Many are in favor. About two•thirds of DRINKERS are opito .sed. This is a large calculation. Petitions for prohibition . were signed by Thousands of. drinkers and drunkards. The latter assign!. ed as a reason; "that their only; hope of re formation was in having the temptation renni- Moved out of their tray." / Corrupt and designing POLITICIANS are opposed. Weiitte ;he tumor party this claes, without an exteptiou.. . ADVOCETES OF PROFTIBMON MINISTERS of the Gospel, of every name and creed, with scarcely - and exception. Most of the JUDGES of. our Coigns signed petitions. . . Our most prominent LAWYERS also. RELIGIOUS MEN are in favor ; no-mat ter how mien they may differ is other res pects, on this point there is almost entire unanimity. . MEDICAL MEN are'm favor. `MOTHERS, WIVES and DAU,GHTERS are in favor. ;. , .. . . Women have no votes, but they have RIGHTS; , and the rights of petition, too. As ihey have no vote in making the laws which govern them, they have the STRONGER claim on men fur protection. Women suffer most from the evilitof this traffic. We protect our horses from brutal treatment by law , : Shall we do less fur our wives and,daughteral! We are in duty. bound to pass a law Which will remove the CAUSE ot their suffering; . OM MORAL:CHARACTER OF PATTIES. The moral character of a party has touch to do with the influence which that party should exert. There is a vast difference iu the intelligence and morality of the friends and foes, pf • Prohibition. general thing, the liquor party embraces the igno rant and unprincipled. - The intelligent, mo ral, and religioui are found' on the :other side; there niay be 'a few exceptions. but this is the general rule. • MOTIVES OF EACH PARtY. We can only judge of the motives!•of oth ers by their actions and arguments. Men oppose Prohibition for se/fisiness and loge of gain. The liquor traffic is . not advocated be cause the public good requires it. No one contends that morality or happiness would be promoted. The dealer aims at hi moms. The drinker is governediby, his appstile. 'The owner of property looks to his avers,and, the politician is to the votes which hecan secure by the use( of rum. The advocates of Prohibition'are governed by higher motives. They work for the pub lic goad. Money cannot. govern them, as they are not engaged in the sale of liquor, are do they rent houses fir that purpose.-- Appetite does not inflrence them, as they inci not drink. Votes have nothing to do with their course, as they are not candidates for office, nor party politicians. • Tbey make great sacrifices for the sake of the cause dies -- advocate. The only class who are governed by interest among them,-are the drinkers and drunkardi, who, to escape _destruction, are anxious to remove temptation out of their way. You Live now the motives of each party before you. Yon see the love of mon ev and self on the one hanll—the love of God sod man on the other. Which side do you .take in this question ?. ARGUMENTS OF EACII PARTY. The liquor party rely on two arguments - mainly : First, INDIVIDVAL RIGNYS WOULD ILE INVADED. If this were true, it is no argument against Prohibition, provided the public good requires it. It is a well established principle of goy eromeut, that. individual rights must yield to the Public good, but, public good must never bestictificed to private rights. The position is false. -No private right would be invaded. • The rights of men. un der governMent have their origin in one or more of three kinds of laws, viz: natural, common, or statute law. ' "Natural law," says Blackstone. "re quires that We should live honestly, nurt no body, and render to every one his due.". Can any man sell liquor and not hurt his , Cl/SlO meta ? Can he take their mone4 and rea der them an equivalent? He ntioi;..end Ihmekle has no natural right to sell. . - . 1" Common law," says the . same author, "'declares that no man his a right to use bhp propeny to' the MUNE OF axoTirati, and than. the commit of the party,injured is, NO MITI.

The property would be 16,St; . ONLY LOST, and the injury wOuld be, repaired... The city of Philadel phia has nearly, it toot quite, recovered front the effects of the hie which'consumed Whole • squares a few years since. The Money Spent fur liquor' is nut only wasted, but it wastes -almost everything else. It is Ito much capital_ invested to DESTROYsocieI y. It sends thousands to the poor-house. It de. .stroys. the-lives of ' thotosands whose minds are of the highest order; It takes -: mci• nay out Of, the pocket of every tax-paper ip the land. ; The money of the liquor seller is stained with bloOd, 'and pclluted with grin:le of every grade. It wrings tears from the eyes of the wife, and groans arum the hearts of the orphans. It Murders our citizens, aud sends their souls to the perdition of ungodly: men. And yet we are told we Must not prohibit the traffic,' because it destroys capital and injures trade. 0, thou Poii of Nations, has it: come to this ! blast a Chrisiiao people encourage the destruction of uniod and the damnation ul ' souls fur dollars and cents I Start not, -ren der :: this isWhat you are doing, if you suP . - part this,traffic.

No ruin folluwetl tlie abolition of the .slave trade, and' . notie I Would follow the destruction of the liquor ' traffic. 'Prohibition would destroy only, one half of the distilling of Pennsylvania,- be- I cause only one 7 half is used for drinking,' while Abe. Other is Used 'for' burning-fluid, and me chanical or medicinal.purposes. Su sa id; a digtiller in his reply to a further edition ,ot 'this appeal. The depreciation in property and inconvenience in business would not be greater, therefore, thait is produced by the variations or improirements in business which are constantlOoentig made. Useful citizens do not ask the government to protect! . them trOm these resultS,land whyshould we pro tect the liquOr-sellery whose business is de structive- . E • ' ,• • Take another view of this subject. In this State, there are at least thirty thousand fain- 1 dies who are impOverished by the "use of rum. Remove the liquor, and these , faini- Hui. would be sober and thrifty. They would , puichase 'taually, of hats, bonnets,',shnes, coats and d resses , , about twenty thousand more of et than they now do : besides tor niture and hood in abundance. , We see;there fore, that-this traffic,not only fearfully iocrea les taxation and crime, but tht it is equally destructive wine interest 'of' the mechanic who makei these articles, the merchant who sells them, and the farmer who feeds the whole. ,Farmers. above .all others, :should advocate Prohibition. Some of theSe 'are fearful :hat Prohibition would reduce the price of grain, by destroying the market and decreasing. the demand. „It would greatly increase the demand for the grain. Allowing the thirty thousand drunkardit'of tin's; state one pint of,whiskey per day, they wduld consume mis year 1,368,750 gallons; If a bushel of con mede but - three gallons, of whiskey, it would take but 956,260 hushels. This at .filty cents, would" amount ).o' but '5228,125. ' This is the whole amount the far mer gets for his Coro. Take the Whiskey from' these men, and they ( would consume' and cause to he consumed, at least tun barrels of flotor more per!. year.

If five thousand of these kept each ape horse more than now, 1 and.led but twenty dollars' worth of hay and grain, it would amount to 'sloo,ooo.

Benton's "Thirty Years in the United States;" shortly to be, published, has found its way Into the news papers, giving a circumstantial mourn at the duel between Clay and Randolph in 1611 M Col. Beotua was prrseot at the meeting and knew every step that was taken by the par t.r their fritods, from the day of the challenge to the day of reconciliation—all of which he relates with great patueulatny„ and, no doubt, with equal aecurney. The cause of the challenge was-apokeo in debate —the vetbal reporr of which, as commuai• cated to Mr. Clay, represented Randolph' to have said : • That a letter from denetal Salazar; the Me'xicati:Mintster ntiNastungton.aubmitted 'by the g'x ec urive to the Seuni:e, bore the ear• mark of hayjng been mantaketmed or forged by the tsecretary of State, aid denounced the Adiumbitration a, a corrupt coalition between the Puritan and blackleg ; and added, afthe 'tome time, that he (Mr. Riudniph) held him. bell pettedly rerpouible fur all that be had 3aite. Randolph, however. authorized h , is friend, Col. 'laalai, Lo it•ay to Mr. Clisy's triad. Geo.

As the licit pest thing, the seconds agreed to so at range the' terms of firing that 11 . . either party got hit it would be as near an accident as possible. meetiug took place on the 13th of April, .o the right bank of the Poto mac, within the State of Virginia. Col. Ben• ou proceeds: • The pike was a thick forest. arid the im• medidte • spot a little depression or basin In "which• the parties stood. The principals as luted each oilier courteuusly as they took their stands. Col , Tetuan ~had won, the choice 01 Positions, which gi've to Gen. Jes..- sup the . :ttelivqy of the word . They stood uo a line east and west—a small stump just tiehiud Mr. Clay,; a low grave* bankjust behind Mr Randolph. The lattetasked Ge. Jessup to rrpe.tt the word:as he would give . It ; told white to the act of cluing au , sod Mr. Randolph adjusttng the-but his pistol to his hand, the muzzle pointing downwards. and almost to the ground, it fired. Instantly Mr. Randolph turned to Mri Titusll and said : •• I protested against that hair trig. ger." Cul. Tetuan took blame to himself for havii.g sprtiug the hair. Mt. Clay had out received his pistol. Mr. Johnson, ( Jot- • ab,) one of his ~..seconds, was carrying it 10 bon, and 61111 s everal steps from him. This. ynticaely lire, though clearly an accident necessarily gave rise to some remarks, and a species 01 inquiry, which was conducted with the , utmost delicacy, but which, in it self, "was of a nature to be inexpressibly pain. tul to a gentleman's feelings. Mr. Clay stopped it with the generous remark that the lire was clearly an acculeut, and it was so unanimously declared. - • Another pistol was immediately turnished ; an.exchauge of shots took place, and, happi• . ly, without effect upon the persons. - Mr. Randolph's bullet struck the stump behind Mr. Cie), and Mr. Clivia knocked up the earth nod gravel behind 'Mr. Randolph. la's line with the level of his hips, DOW bullets having gone so, true and close, that it was a marvel how they missed. The moment had come fur me to interpose. I went among the parties anclL offered. my mediation, but nothing could bei done. Mr. Clay utd, with 'hat wave ut the hand .with whictshe was accustomed to put away Wed, " This 0 chrlce's ploy !" and required another tire.— .Mr. Randolph also dewauded another rim-. The snoods wetdirected to re-load. At ibe second rOuodoßindolph"rscepted the fire it Mr: C S, which knocked up the gravel in the se :place as the first—then raising his pistol, nd firing it in the air; ha said, "I do not tire at you, Mr. Clay." At he said this, he advanced and offered .his hand. He was met icr the same sgra.— They came together, lialt.way, and shook hands. Mr: Randulph,.ay lug, jocosely, "Tots owe me a coat, Mr. Clay, " (the bullet Car: tug passed through theekirt of 'beam, very near the hip; to whlait 31 . Clay promptly and happily replied, ".1 am glad the debt is no larger." ' It was Randolph's urigioal intention not to fire at Ctay at all ; sod this intention, ear :y la the preliminaries , was tiouhdent aly communicated to Colonel Be ntuu about.— But on the day of the duel, wider the ilifftk. - ea." of a int.qtppreheusiem, Randolph meth fied his first purpose so lair es to .bout at Clay, not with the desigu ul killing him, ~l it it pa-sib eto lame ,hitn.
