Youmans will speak ft:ir tErren OP UR. DBLAVAN. BALLSTON, Saturday, Sept-1508531 Mr Dams - Surt—The views of the prOhibitory question which you have recently communicated to me in a conversation we had upon the subject-I :Wink if widely circulated would be of important ervice to the temperance cause. They 'east the clear and certain light of science upen;'s graie 4uesticin of private and Publics duty. In this eouqtry whore the' people are the ultimate source of power, it is important that they be.)scil ac quainted with the principles which lie at the loan dation of government and law. Thesi, men may change, but the truths of nature and science are unchangeable. I believe there never.hes bcen,a time when the. broad diffusion of correct views was so much demanded as in - the present crisis of notion. Your mode of treating the subject scents to me to open a. new route of ecientiffetlemunetra tion to the prohibitory policy; it is just, what is required, and I should be' greatly obliged and-I have no doubt thousands of others would also be glad if you would write it out as early - ai possible far newspaper and tract publication. Giateful fur what you have heretofore done in developing the application of science to this important subject; I remain,. my dear sir, Very sincerely, yours, . • E. L. YOCSIANS. s EDWARD UDELAVAN. REPLY OF stn. YOUMANS. ': DEAR SIR:--I take the earliest Opportunity which multiplied and pressing engagements will, allow to comply with the request obtained in yitur letter, and prepare a statement of some'thoughts which scein to have an important bearing upon the present aspect of the Temperance movement, and which (I think) have not, been sufficiently preised upon public consideration. The question presented is : "Shall Alcoholic Liquors aO common -beverages be commercially outlawed?" , and 'we are required to determine what there is aboutthem in relation to the human constitution which de mands that their oak shall be prohibited. I pro pose to ohow*that there is a part of mans organi= ration upon which his mental nature depends, and which is therefore the Teal foundation of all soci ety, and government; that Alcoholic: Liquers, when drank, reek out this portion of Ate bodily system in preference to all others, and :so. disor ganize it as to disturb the mind, pervert; the con duct and invade the responsibility; that their prop erties in these respects are so peculiar:6d remark able as to separate them widely from allittheriub stances in nature and art, and confer niien govern ment a right of control 'over them which is notes .sary, fundamental and absolute. l; * • ' Of Alcohol itself, little need be said.i: Its sci entific history has been thoroughly cannssed,and no question is better settled than that of its origin ind nature. It, comes into existence througMthe chemical destruction of food„an4 is thit common and active principle of all fermented and distilled liquots, which gives them the power or 'producing ;intoxication. It is hence both customary ''and proper to employ the term Alcohol when its vari ous mixtures are referred to. Before considering the way man is affected by this agent, it will be necessary that wel, direet at tention to certain fundamental facts ;concerning the nature of his constitution. Before sve cap en , derstand how a machine is acted upon,hy any for , ign influence, we must first have a sontewhat dis inet idea of the mechanism itself.

The bony framework is designed n sup port it in firmness and strength, and 'the -elastic muscles to throw it into movement. As the pro duction of force* involves Waste of Metter, or the decomposition of the parts in actiona gratfal perishing of the living atoms—there is needed a circulatory system distribute , new matter all parts, and to take up and carry away the products of change which are constantly formed. This re quires. a digestive system fur the .preparation of nutriment. A heart is needed to impel-andlregu late the vital current, and ltings to• supply 'air to the body, its oxygen being the motive power of animal life. In addition to these orgies, there is still another part of the fabric, this Specifie pur pose of which is not at first so obvieue. The upper portion of the head is occupied by a mass of matter which differs in aspects and quail !les Irons all other parts of the spleen It is not hard and resisting like the bones, ner fain and contractile like the muscles, nor holliiw and to. eeptivo like the stomach, nor spongy; and,* pens like the lungs. - It is clearly different in 'nature and uses from all other parts, and yet , it is evident ly of the first importance.

It consists of a large sheet of nervous matter which is packed within the belly cavity so :is to crumple it, and pause folds and convolutions and consequently hollows and ferrates. :Anon mists my that, when taken out and naked, it may • be unfolded or dilated out, so that: the convolu tions disappear; and that then it has t e surface Of more than six hundred square incheO.. The weight of the bruin in the adult male ranges usually from forty to sixty, ounces. The heaviest healthy brain is sixty-four ounces, and the lighteoCiabout thirty ounces, although in idiots it sometimes falls as low no twenty ounces. The brain like all other parts of the systeM, contains 'innumerable cireulatory vessels, and is filled with blood; bet differs from these in this, that it receives a very Much larger share of blood than any other equal portion of the organism. Although its averages eight iii to that of the body, but as one to thirty-six; it receiver, according Indifferent authoritie&Troin one-fifth to tune-tenth of all the blood which is slut from the heart. An a:terial, torrent rushes into it, and a venous stream flows out of it continually;, These decompositions or changes in the bleed, therefore, which give rise to force, go forward.ln this organ with rapidity, so that, - whatever may; be its user, it is evidently au engine of power. •ij The brain is well known to be time centre of bodily sensations ; the seat of the Will; the rest-' Bence of the intellectual and moral:attributes of man; the point at which the spirittial and mate rial worlds blend and unite.

In fainting, there is a transient suspension of the circulation, and hence a temporary; pause in the flow of blood through the brain, and the mind disappears in unconsciousness. ' Sir, Astley Coop er checked the vital current in the arteries that led to the brain of a dog, when the animal fell scoreless; as the circulation was restored it re vived. • Itichat showed that the influence of the scarlet or arterial blood is necessary to' the. duo performance of the cerebral functions. :• If dark colored or veinous blood be substituted for it, and transmitted to the brain by the arteries,' the.ani malfalls jute' a state of total insensibility.

We regard, the mind's acts alone, abstracted from all their 'con ditions, separated from the corresponding material acts upon which they depend. We - have such a habit of contrasting mind and matter—of con sidering them as separate and even antagonist forms of being—that we, as}}tc were, detach our conceptions of mental existCnee and action from their vital connections. litlbittiateth to conee - e of mind in its final and higliest destiny as disen-1 cumbered of waiter, we neglect the i inexorable fact that such is not its condition he'reAnd now.--: As children ' when out at play, are utterly uneon scious of that lever-action of boner, the contrac tility and spring of muscles, and the lightning dispatches that are continually flying in all dime- I times over the nerve-wires from head-quarters to the hands, feet, tongue,.lips, eyes,and the whole : mobile and sensitive system, so we are all apt to forget that when IVO think, and hope, and reflect, and wish, and remember, and calculate, or exert the mind in anyway, we are really; spinning the wheel-w,ork of that most complicated and won: .derful of all machines, that masterpiece of divine invention, the lumen brain. Ido rtotiaffirm that intellectual 'opemtioni originate or conseit in ma terial changes of the ) braln, but only that, in the present state of existence, the mental principle cannot act except thrOugh its' organ, by which such changes necessarily occur. The fact is un deniable that, in this stage of being, the Creator has so woven 'the mental element into brain-tissue that the termer eannot e wurk except through the latter and in accordance with its laws. ; Let us consider the practical import of these facts: , ---A man, for example. moving free iu socie ty discharges his duties and regulates all his con duct properly. itie' at once refer this course of action to his will and say that he ehieattes it. This is true, but it is nut the whole treat. That right action of his Mind rests fur its basil upon a sound brain—that is, a brain in such a condition of har monious and rapid , ployiuliogjeal chlinge us makes t this course of thought and adieu: possible. ful l another instance he may take odiantage of' his • liberty to commit wrong and inflict injury upon others, and we then attribute Ida course to a de praved will. But here again we twist go further back to that state of the mind's organ which per- . witted the freedom of choice, for ;the liberty of; ; volition depends upon a proper condition of the 'lnstrument of thought. Or, in: still another in-1 attince, brain-derangement only annihilate the free action of the voluntary faculties, and drivel the insane' individual to destructive deeds;' for. which he is not to be, held respupsible. Id all these cases the final basis of individual , action is the condition of the organ of thought.' Govern ment by memo of law prescribes .; in . certain re spects a course of action fur the citizen', and ap peals to certain motives as inductee : lents to it.. It promises the protection of natutil rights es a consequence of obedience to law, ; and ,threnten's •punishment as the result of its violation. Gov-1 moment thus makes its appeal to Plied ; and we I hence say that it rests upon mind-that its feun dation is the responsible intelligence of its sub-; jem. This is quite true ; but we Must go' deeper. Government is built upon responsible mind,' and that in turn depends upon coerbral conditions. Hence states of the material brain become the real foundations of government. Its true basis is that which,holds and sustains the ; intelligent na ture of man in its harmony and integrity. I There is a class of persons who are destitute of! brains, or, rather, they have only a part of the organ, just sufficient to regulate and control the animal life. They have no intellectual brain - ; their minds aro therefore low and' fragmentary, and we call them idiot,. Now, Within the con stitution of an idiot there is nothing which gov ernment can reach eu as to make him its 'subject. There is a deficiency of that portion of the or ganistn up - on which government in based; and it therefore, in this' ease, has no heals. The idiot is simply an animal lacking that orglinic part which, when superadded, confers intelligence, responsi bility, and subjection to law. Or thoug h the brain of an individual may havetlteen formed perfect, if from any cause it becomes disordered, so that, the mind can no longer use it, the relation of such persoreto society is at once dissolved, all moral , obligations and legal demands, upon him cease, ' and he passes beyond the limit of isocial and civil , accountability. • • • Those facts disclose the relative rank of differ ent parts of the human body. Each has its im portance; but there is no infinite difference in their respective values. The organs are all IMmul l together by such ties of sympathyand mutual de= pender.ce as to constitute a harmonious unit; but , when any one becomes disordered, so as to inter:l rupt or defeat its peculiar action, we behold at , once the wide gradation of dale offices. If the bones be Froken..the body is no lOnger supported; if the muscles be paralyzed, motion is impossible; if the lungs are disordered, respiration becomes affected; or if the stomach, there is 'disturbed di- , gestion. Yet all this is but a perversion of the I subordinate machinery of the human constitution.! If diseaae fastens upon the organ of mind, there is dethronement of the intelleet,and a total wreck of manhood. God and man—religion, govern- Mont, and all the multiform relations which clus ter around the intelligent being -t-are blotted out of existence, for we know nothing of these except by rational and coherent ideas, which are impos eible if the temple of thought be thrown into to and disorder. The bodily; system of man may thus be contemplated elan indivisible whole' in its subjection to Physical laws; but is divisible into two widely different portions in respect of the purposes it serves. The first consists of the appa ratus of' animal life, and this is Made subservient to another and more sacred part, ;devoted to no bler objects, and to which appertairs whatever is, r glorious and godlike in man's nature—a part which controls the citizen in the whole circle of his pri vateand public reeponsibilities,th wbich,thettefore, society and government have an: especial and pee culler interest'—upon which, indeed, Way rest as a foundation.. LAW DT WHICH AGENTS ACT UPON DIFFERENT PARTS OF TEE CONSTITUTION. I call attention now to nu important physio logical law, according to which ;foreign substan ces affect the bodily constitution. The first ac tion of the system upon tbo various nutritive materials which are designed to nourish it is, by means of the digestive proves*, to prepare a uoi form homogeneous liquid, which is to circulate' through all its parts. This liquid, the blood, contains the elements necessary to form all the structures of the body. The nutrition of these I parts, therefore, consists in taking out of the cir culatory current and apprOpriating those special elements which each , tissue requires. _ There is no one part which demands all the constituents of the blood in its growth; it therefore only_ with draws such elements as it needs ; other parts of the body taking the rest. Nutrition, therefore in- ; volves a kind of vital analysis of the sanguinary fluid, and the local appropriation of its constitu ents. For,example:—wbere the bones aro re- • coked to grow, compounds allele are withdrawn from the blood; the muscular tissues select from I it compounds containing sulpher, and the-nervous tissue se containing phosphorus. - And 'tench individual secretion and part—tears, saliva, gas tric juice and bile, as well as ligaments, ttendons, hair, teeth and nails—eacli separates from the blood at some particular place• just those peculiar ingredients which are necessary to feint it. Lo cal attraction for chemical substances in the bodi ly spit= is thus the fundamental law by which the livin nice •m is perpetuated. Now, the ysiol ical ordinance is not con fined toMutritive an ces; it governs also the destination of medicines. Everybody understands that, to combat diseases in Various parts of the fabric different medicines are; resorted to which will take effect upon the different disa.sed parts. Medicines swallowed and absorbed into the risen- - lotion, or applied externally and imbibed by the tissue, enter the revolving stream and; aro theuee drawn out and lodged in parts which have for theta a special attraction. The higheitt authority In Materia Medico, Dr. Pereira, says: "The specific operatiOns of medicinesi s after their alisurb- Lion on particular organs is well known." Indeed, , eminent medical authorities, as Eberle, Duagllison 'and others, have made the tidier' of remedies upon different parts of the system the basis of their , classifications. Thus, ono gratin has xi spetific ae-I• tion on the intestinal canal; another Oen the re-! spiratory organs; and othersupon the'circulatoty,t muscular and nervous systems. Thee there are( subdivisions based upon the Mode of action of each part. One class of ramifies acts upon the blood; some upon its corpuscles and yothors upon its plasma; some to thicken and others to thin it, and others to affect it in etill different ways. To such an extent is this law of localization carried, that not. only do medicines seleet eartietular organs, but (as Dr. Carpenter observes) their action is ofteudimited to particular spots uponthe organ. Now, precieely the same law, of local attraction which governs nutriment and atedicines ;outsell. also the physiological action of poisoes. Polics ous agents are drawn by special affinities to partice Ular partsittporiwhich they ptoduce their morbid, disorganizing or fatal effects. i An English writer of high authority in toxicology, Dr. Christison, says: "Poisons are comnionly, but I conceive erroneously, said to affect riltaotely the general system, A few of them dei indeck appear to affect a great number of the ergans id the body;,' Ma tench the longer proportioa wet, ha the contra-I ry, to act on one or muse orris. odic, diffract On the wird system" 'Thus for example, arsenic, , in poisonous doses attacks and inflames the mu, cos membrane of the eliminatory passages; strych nine takes effect upon the spinal cord, and lead fastens upon the muscles of time wrisl,varalyizing them anti producing what is known among , pain ters, and white lead maunfacturers as wrist drop. The disturbantm oceasioned l by the' poisonous agent may not be confined to a single part; yet, under the action of this fundamental law, of the constitution, the tendency poisons is to leek! tout and fasten upon partienhir portions of the or pulite which first and most tlirectly suffers froml their. action;• With this hasty analysis of - the relativevolueef various parts of man's constitation,nna of the law' under which 'they, are acted upon by „foreign agents, I proceed toexatnine!the manner in "which ills 'Meted by Alcohol. • • 1 ' -; '1 All alcoholic liquorA, when drunk', pans into thtjt stomach a' n matter of ure4 . sity, this beint; the • NO . - 45 . .. • . , , •S' - • ,•4 • • ,• ~,., . route of introductionlor liquids and solids to the general, iystein. DIA they do not long remain in this organ, for their Pre.sonee there would speedily and utterly arrest the digestive process. "It is a remarkable fact," says Dr. Dundee Thompson, "that Alcohol; when added to the digestive fluid; produces n at ilt* precipitate, so that the fluid is uo longer capable of digesting animal or vegetable matter." This precipitation is the coagulation of the pepsin, an essential element of the gastric juice. Tioso 'distinguished: physidlogists, Todd and BoWiaan, in their latemork, say " The use of alcoholic stimulants also retards digestion by. coneulatitig the pepsin, and thereby interfering with its action. Were it not that wine and spirits arc rapidly absorbed, the introduction of these into the stomach ie day quantity would be a corn- plate bar to the digeition of the food, as thepep "tin would be precipitated from solutiomas quickly. IS it Was ;formed by the stomach." Aleebolle ti4ej are, therefore, promptly absorbed; they pen etrate the tissues of the stomach, and are quickly lautietadlinto the Circulation. A LCOULIA.TIRACTED TO IDE . NERVOUS SYSTEX—IT . ' I nIS • . EItAIIVDISORGANIE EU.

It is the nervous system, and esp cially , its jtreat controlling center, the, s A brain, thi tis singled out and becomes the chief focus of; its , ravages. This is a truth, acknowl edged amid beyond dispute.. For while it is a mat. ter of notorious observation that spirituous liquors, when drunk, have a tendency to "fly to the head," R. 9 is evinced by. the prompt mental disturbance arhich' they produce!, the dissector shows that the organ of mind is the rallying-point :of palpable disorganization and disease, and the ablest apolo gists of Alcohol aliet bear expliCit. testimony to the fact.: A 'late able writer -in 'The Westminster Ilerietc; who has attempted a scientific defense of Alcohol; recognise"' fully its special relationship to the nervous system, " by - its great affinity and the selective eagerness with which it acts on thut tissue." . In a controversy which ' yen bad some yearsainee. with Dr. Ilun. of Albany. upon the question of stomach diseases induced by Alcohol, your adversary affirmed that "ft is tea the nervous system that its most , terrible elects are produeed." That 'Alcohol has een extracted from the matter of the brain spec death by intoxication; is ..a well-establishedfact; and repeated instances are on record where it has been taken from the cavi ties (ventricles) of that organ in sufficientstrength to beset On fire and - burn with its characteristic blue - flame. Alcohol - has been obtained from the bruin' several; days after the victims death, and it has been forgot in the cerebral 'substance when it could not be'detected either in the ventri cles of the organ or in any other, part of the body. But casei in which the action of Alcohol upon the human brain can be directly or eatirfacturily stu died, are, from the; nature of things, rare and accidental For the thorough and accurate ex., 'iteration of itlidsubject, therefore, resort has been had,'as in the elucidation of many other impor tant physiolegicalproblems, to experiments upon the inferior *anti:Sale. We aro indebted to Dr. Perey_of Edinburgh, for a course of experimental inquiries of this kind which completely- settle the question and verity 'the conclusions. drawn from observations upon, the brain of man. Ile destroyed the animals by injecting strong Alcohol into the ; system, and then Subjected to analysis the brains and 'other parts W detect the presence and proper tion,of the poison.' The result of his iuvestiga tions was not only that Alcohol was drawn to the brain by sliecial -attraction, but that' it existed rather in the cerebral substance than in the yes vets of the organ, Ile says: "Although I have ruidected to analysis a much greater quantity of blood than' can possibly be present within the cranium, yet I here in general, been enabled - to procure a much urger proportion of Alcohol from the bmin than front all this quantity of blood. Ho hence infers the existence of an " affinity o betwees Alcohol and , the cerebral matter." l;lncv it can- hardly be necessary to state that Alcohol is an agent of such active and power ful qualities that cannot be diffused through the cerebral tissue without giving rise to profound disturbance. I have stated 'that the brain. is a laboratory of the most rapid vital changes, upon which its functional -exercise depends.- A sub. stance of the energetic affinities and fiery irritant nature of Alcohol cannot enter the theater of these transformations Without producing. active interfe.:l rence. - We know that the direct action of Alcohol upon the tissues is that of a disorganizing poison, - and when lodged within the brain, this must be its, kind of effect, whatever may be its degree.-- By , its eager attraction- for oxygen and its ex treme inflammability, ranging in this respect high above all normal ailinents, it produces an unna tural intensity of vital combustion, and conse quently excitement, exhilaration and increased action throughout the system. By ''robbing the arterial blood of its oxygen, it changes it prema tueely to the voinoin condition, and contributes, as was long 'since Shown by Dr. Prout, to the Dena- ' feral rete;tion'ef carbonic acid within the body. Thus, by he direct action of Alcohol dissemina ted through thdsubstance of the brain, and by the altered condition of the blood which 'it induces, disease of the organ becomes inevitable. Accord ingly, it is found that upon post mortem examina tion of the bodies of inebriates the brain exhibits' conspicuous traces of the deleterious agent in the shape of enlargement of - the vessels and thicken ing of their coots; watery and bloody effusions; enlargement or the membranes;- preternatural softening and pillpy disorganization of the core. brat texture, with various other morbid appear ances. In onelcase where death was suddenly produced by ad excessive quantity of rim, the brain presented bloody spots, and the cavities were loaded with blood, although the stomach was ' natpral. : TUB DISOINIANIEER OF FRE RIND'S ORGAN IS ALSO A DISORGANIEERiar THE MIND ITSELF. Phyeiologistg are agreed that different parts of the brain are devoted o different uses. The first effect of Alcohol is upnn its higher and frontal portion, which is the seat of the intellectual and moral faculties!. This part, of the brain is excited by a smell quantity of liquor; and when more is taken, ftbecomes 'more deeply Perverted,.and the hinder and levier portion of the organ, which con trols theinervie of motion, is attacked, and the individual losee the faculty of perfectly governing nr rognloting the bodily movements. When a still greater quantity is thank, the action of that part which is devoted to the higher sentiments seems utterly suspended; the power of voluntary motion is lost, stied the poison passes, downward to the ex treme lower p o rtion of the organ, which is .con 'Meted with the spinal cord and has charge of the respiratory primes*. The breathing is thus inter fered with and becomes heavy and labored, as we see in dead-drunkenness. When death "occurs in these cases, iris because this part , of the brain becOmes so deeply poieonedas to stop respiration. These effects show that Alcohol isnot diffused uni formly through the brain, but takes effect succes sively upon its several parts. • , Now if Aleeh ol acts thus unequally upon the mind's 'organ,' it must of course actin the same. Manner upois the mind itself. Its first effect through the :'-brain upon the mind is to stimulate or excite it tzi . ; increased action;. but this effect is far from being a general and equid• invigoration or uniform strongtenhing of all the mental powers; it is on the contrary a partial and unequal action , which is subversive of their harmony. Alcohol takes sides with ono portion of 'the mental consti; tutiou against another. , _ Perhaps the highest at tribute of mind is the power of voluntary control which it bag, over itself, by which disturbing forces are helil in chock, and its energies may be steadfastly directed to a continuous train of thought or a difficult subject of investigation.— Now, the effect of liquor is, by no means to give increased strength in this direction. - It neither imparts fixedness to the purposes, nor persistency to the will, nor the'power of rigid subjection over 'the paseionalhature, Its effects, on the contrary, are all in the opposite direction. The more vela - tile faculties,;the imagination and ideal powers, are quickened under its influouce to excessive -ex • ertion, and go off into spontaneous` buratg of wit, hutosir and fency. „There aro brilliant corrusea t tions of thought, and a blaze of imaginative pyre i 'techny. • But this artificial tumult of the mind is 1 ;pot favorable.to the calm and sober exercise of the graver faculties. As the spontaneous or ante retitle activity of the , mind, occasioned by brain stimulation, is increased, there is-trdecrease of its self-controliag, self-regulating power. The mind cannot serveltwo masters; just in'proportion as it is.enrrendered to the influence of an external force, which invades it through the brain, it ceases to bo in its own keeping. With the sparkle and efferves cence of Mei:belie excitement, there is a weaken ing of the regulating and restraining forces by whichthe Mind manages its own movements, a partial hiss :of that voluntary , control over the mental operations, which, as Dr. Carpenter re marks, "meet be regarded as an incipient stage of " inerrity." :, 'At the same time, the lower passions and propensities are *routed to inordinate acticity. Itshealthful mental's:on:Miens, these press power fully upon the higher controlling sentiment!, and 'from their reaction results moral, equilibrium of character. .:The influence of Alcohol is thrown entirely r into the acale of the animal impulses, againit the'reason, judgment and conscience ; and it is etrident that, where these are just able to hold the liaiser passion's inimbjection and maintain the mind's equipoise; the effectof the disturbing agent must be to ;destroy the mental balance and tell ,disgstionstit upon the conduct- That, when li quors'are ,haken in euthelent quantity to produce their characteristic and desired effect. the mind is in 'shine stay jostled and disturbed, no- obser ving ;•pertgin . can doubt; that this disturbance, however trifling it may be, consists in replacing the reasoning and voluntary powers by blind pas sional forces in the mind's government, is proved by the fact"thel, if Mons of, the stimident be taken, the revolution becomes complete; reason isentire ly prestrated, end brute impulse is ih the ascend ent. ; In igtoxicotion the action of.the braiu'is so deeply perterted as completely 'ttiE unhinge tho IllinA i thoilght is confuted and be illered ; self directing directing power is lots: - the passion are stimula ted to wisp:trained fury, and the , hole mental fabrir 'i: erctuinvi amid th , •:=ltr;pr.,of -Ivilriont..
