IT IS attn., that every distillery in New York has been closed by the revenue offi cers. And it is also said that Philadelphia continues able to supply the markets of every eastern city with whisky for a• less price than the government tax.. This fact - is alluded to, with ant air of Modest pride, - by some of the journals pxinted between the Delaware and the Schuylkill. Is this flourishing business to continue - uninter rupted ? Tu REruntacmcs of the Cleveland, 0., district send Hon. R. P. Spaldhig and Hon. 'S. S.. Osborn as delegates to Chiettgo,"taunt ntiously instructing them for Grant and Wade. The' Leader protests that Colfax is stronger than Wade in the district, and that the, resolution "was not" understood by the Convention and'was adopted by default, because nobody wished to assume special prominence in opposition to it." Jr the Leader states the ease correctly, we must, admit that the Western Reserve Yankees have been more complaisant or obtuse than they wete ever known to be before. ALL THE world and his wife are familiar ly mindful of the cid - story about the law 'yer, whose client, quarrelled for an oyster, and who settled the litigation by swallow ing the subject of dispute, awarding to each party an emptytshell. Mr. Jourisos's coun sel are dealing by their client upon a simi lar principle. While that unhappy "Imre. Vidual" only finds his merited fate post poned just so many hours longer as his ad vocates can occupy with their rhetoric, and retires from his contest with the people a ruined man, Messrs. EvArrs and GROES BECK have risen upon his martYrilom into a wide and well-earned professional fame. Evidently, it is the lawyers again who have won all the profit, in fighting this battle for Executive usurpation. WE SURRENDER much space this MOM ihg to the eloquent and most convincing argument of Hon. Tuomes l'Prwa.tars, as a Manager for Impeachment, before the Senate. Compelled by the crowded state of our columns to be content with extracts only, we have attempted to select such paragraphs from the official report as shall give a just" idea of the general line of the argument. - The speech is, however, so compactly and symmetrically logical that our condensation arid omissions necessarily impair the effect as a whole. The passages reprinted will justly command the approv ing perusal of his constituents. The Philadelphia Prue rema r k s: Mr. Williams has long been recognized as one of the leading lawye rs of the House, and this reputation has been fully sus: tained. His argument is rigidly ana l y ti ca l , and seems 'to be a compend of crushing truths rather than an elaborate discourse.. His peroration-is beautiful, rising, as it does into a sublimity that rivals the masterly ef: forts of our greatest orators. • TITE Ohio Dethocracy,having disfranchised the students at the colleges and seminaries of the State, are delighted to imag,ine that Republicanlisn loses some two . Alibusanil votes therepy, A decision of the Supreme I 1 xivams continued his :speech in, the Itnpeachment trial yesterday. Mr. STAN EERY follod-s him with an argument which, if read as well as filed, will occupy the whole of this day and perhaps a part of to morrow. In that case Mr. BINGHAM may not commence the closing argument until Monday. This protracted speech-making wearies the Senate, 'without influencing a vote. The solitary benefit to result from it will be the abbreviation of the - discussions of Senators themselves. In the meantime the foolish man at the other end of the Avenue, whose confidence in the efficiency of orato ry, has often been persanally - exhibited to an admiring people, fancies now that his lawyers are ensuring his acquittal by their ambitious rhetoric. Already, it is reported, he has made his plans for a heavy official campaign against the Republicans. Ile means first to kick ST_ TONtilld will then proceed, under his vindicated fight of removal at pleasure, to fill every office in the country with his creatures. His delu sions are the amusement of. Washington. The eagerness for emigration to Liberia. is observed to be now greater, in the South ern States, than at any previous period since the establishment of that colony upon the African coast. The regular ship, Gol conda, belonging to the Colonization Soci ety, which sails this week from Charleston, takes 659 emigrants, her full capacity, and leaving behind nearly 7,000 applicants for passage. On the other hand, it was resolv ed at a meeting of colored men, numerously Attended in Philadelphia, a day or two since, that the whole scheme of Liberian Coloni zation from this country should be discour aged in all practicable Ways. The evident ly increasing desire of the snore intelligent of the Southern freedmen to transfer them selves to a new region, Where a larger and more fruitful liberty may be realized than I in the newly freed States 'of the South, seems to have inspired their Northern brethren with apprehensions, in which anxiety for the future of their race on this Continent is perhaps more palpable than any philanthropic solicitude for the welfare of the emigrants'.to another. But the fact that Liberian emigration ad dresses itself just now with extraordinary attractiveness to the Southern freedmen,. seems inexplicable when viewed in cones.. tion with the, recent and conspicuous ameli oration of their political condition; and the resultink, improvement in their social status in that quarter of the country. That slav ery no longer exists, that an entire political equality of races is recoguizecl, that the black citizen no more limited than is his white neighbor in accomplishing the high- r eat aspirations for personal and social ad- ' vancement, that, by the mere weight of numbers; his race finds itself entrusted with the control of political 'events in ten States of the Union, that offices and honors are openJo him, andlthat the colored vote, if properly orgaidied is it inightlze, May rea sonablyclaim to be decisive not only of State but National elections for at least the coming generation,---norie of thise consid: erations seem to satisfy the intelligent freed man. What to him more than to the man of a clearer skin, are political honors and influence, the right of personal freedom; an entire - equality with the white race in theory, without the rights of the soil which everywhere in the South are de nied to him ? The freedmen can only be attached to the citizenship which has just been conferred upon them, by en: abling them to become land-holders. It is the feeling expressed in the old cry of "lands for the landless," in which we find the explanation of the growing movement for Liberian Emigration. The Southern freedman has, theoretically, the legal right` to invest his earnings in land, but, in fact, the white race now owning the soil ex cludes him everywhere by a common and absolute refusal to sell to any colored pur chaser. The desire for the ownership 0f.., sonic small portion of the earth is cozninon to all races in civilized countries like ours. The freedman feels it, as well as the white planter who was lately his master.. No where have landed possessions been more an element of power to the holders than in. the lat6ly slave:holding South. _The freed man, coming into his personal liberty, ra tionally aspires to the same privilege. If he cannot'enjoy it in Alabama or the Caro linas, he - Will go elsewhere, even to the tropical birth-place of his race. He may consider that, with time, will surely come thqremoval of these restrictions which the jealousy and selfishness of his late masters are now .iMposing upon the ownership of the soil, but hat time is too long: he cannot be content to await its passage. Hence this in creased nieiement toward that foreign soil which' offers its broad expanse to his occu pation, and where, sitting under his own vine, he•ean claim for himself and his chil dren an inalienable home. • Looking nut from the shade of his palm trees upon the rich values, the luxuriant savannahs, or the blooming slopes of ihe plantation which calls Win - its unquestioned master, he feels the pride of his ownership of the earth under the African Equator, as a sub stantial gratification far outweighing the theoretical blessings which he found so hate fully illusive in the, - American State..

We re-produce from the Nashville Preis and Timea, an editorial article hi g hly c,om- Alimentary to our distinguished fellow-citi zen, Gen. JAS. S. NEGLEY. Coming, as this tribute does, from a wholly impartial source, and from a point at which Gen. `NEGLEv sustained a conspicuous part in the late war for the Union, it( will - e all the more gratifying to himself and o his nu merous friends and admirers here - - . GEE. JAS. S. NEGLEY. 1 .__, . W e see that this distinguished officer and loyal soldier and citizen is mentioned as a candidate for Congress in the Twenty-sec ond district of 'Pennsylvania, subject to the nomination ofthe Republic= District Coif; vention, in pliice Of Hon. J - .K. Moorhead, who declines; re-election. ' It ivould be graceful in the party to give the nomination to such a candidate by actlamation, and we trust this will be done. During a large portion of the war of the late rebellion General Nfgley served in this department, first as a brigadier and then as Major General. He had command of Nash ville after Buell fell back into Kentucky to head off Bragg, while the city was besieged by. Breckinridge, Forrest, Morgan and An derson; and how he held the scarcely forti fied place against such odds, is not yet for gotten by the loyal peolile•who had sought refuge within the post,, and can scarcely be forgotten by ;the present' incumbent orfhe White House. This part, of General Neg ley's military career, where he was unem barrassed by the orders of sometimes in competent superiors, but held command for h' short while -alone, is unmarked by the slightest error, and has endeared his name to the hearts of loyal men in Tennessee. Negley was hardly ever in post Command, except in time of danger. He had command of Columbia and of Nashville while danger continued, but when those places were in ( the rear of the "advancing Union hosts, Neg ley went to the front where fighting was to be done. He distinguished himself at Stone river, fighting through the whole battle no bly, but on the afternoon of the third ,day_ making one of the most successful attacks of the war. For his gallantry and the mili tary ability displayed in this battle he was made Major General. - In the advance from Murfreesboro to Chat tanooga, Gen. Negley occupied, generally, one of the positions of most importance. He fought frequently under great disadvan tages,. hut very successfully, and it may be safely said that no general of the army, ex cept Thomas, contributed more to save from destruction the defeated army' of Rosecrans at Chickamauga than Gen. Jas. S. Negley. Saying, of course, nothing to the dispar agement of whoever may be the opponent of Gen. Negley for the Republican nomina tion, we will, however, remark this : That the man must have ugh claims, indeed, upon the'country and the party who should be 0 - referred to Gen. Negley. Nor would we meddle with the district affairs of our Union friends in other States, but whenever one of the champions of our salvation from rebel rule finds advancement, or advance ment finds him, we must be permitted to throw up our hat. = THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION. The movement against Mr. PENDLETON. gains ground in the Democratic,. party, "and his assumed a very signifierint and *linen tial.phase. is evident that the prospects of thit gentleman for the nomination; which seemed so flattering a few weeks since, are now rapidly diminishing and every' day growing, less. New York letter to the Philadelphia .4:dger L ttOer date of the 18th, says:. The Manhattan (Filth avenue) Club, as you are , aware, is the leading Democratic organization in this city, the wealth and so cial position of most of its members impart ing to it an - intluencenridjur importance to which the: Tammany Hall had scarcely a claim. This club, within the few evenings past, it is worth while saying, has been at tentively canvassing the probable result of the Democratic National Convention, which is to be in some sense their guests, in. the course of a few weeks.' Though I am mot it libert . y to den! with details, no confidences are violatedinsayirke I that, after a survey of 'the whole field, Ka with a thorough acquaintance with the feel ings and iwishes of the •leading men of the party, at the best, the Club Ims come to the conclusion that it will be impossible for the Convention to agree either upon Mr. Pendle ton or Governor Seymour, though theta. will be a hot preliminary struggle by the adherents of each for the mastery. ilancock's name, it is believed, will then be brought forward; but as there are objec-, tions to him which the Club do not believe can be overcome, he will receive a compli mentary vote, and then be put asidebtorder, that the following may be agreed to as the compromise which is finally to prevail: For President, Senator Hendricks, of Indiana. For Vice President, Governor English; of Connecticut. With the settled conviction that this is to be the programme, the Manhattan Club is now going to work, though it is admitted that there may be a slip up on English in favor of John T. Hoffman, of New. York, if the friends of the latter can be induced to 'relinquish the Governorship, which they are keeping in reserve for him. The New York. Tirne,l of the same date says • The movement among the Democrats in favor of nominating Gen. Hancocirfor the Presidency is gaining in strength. The Poet mentions a meeting on Monday night o at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, of prominent gentle men, military and political, to talk over the Democratic nomination, and those tesent, (were unanimous in their preferencefo Han bock. We also hear.of vigorous movements in Washington in his favor. His chlefsup porters in the North are among the Anti- Copperhead or War Democracy, who dislike Penclleton's war record of other times, as _well as his repudiation policy of the present day. We notice that one °four citycotern pontries thinks Hancock would be opposed by the Southern Democracy becauie he was accounted one of the most brilliant soldiers in the Union army. But, if we may judge the Southern pryer, it looks as though Hancdck would receive the undivided sup port of the South. • A Washington letter, of the 28tb, says; A meeting of tritium Mal Democritic poli ticians was held here on Sunday evening last, and the subject of the next Preside nc y waslaiked of.

Press:3 The National Temperance Advocate, the official organ of the cause in the 'United States, comes up to the defence of 'the char acter of General Grant against the sweeping aspersions of partisan anger. The language is carefully weighed, and is in the nature of a judgment, being the result arrived at after a patient and conscientious investigation(of the whole question. Coming as it does from a high official source, we trust it will be read in every temperance lodge or circle in tlie State. These bodies owe to them selves and to the country to olefend the Character of those public men who do ad vocate, not by precept and arghtnent, but by example, the great prineiplesi of temper ance. Spartan sobriety characterizes the daily walk and life of General Grant--so solemnly affirms the chief executive of the national temperance organization. Is not' this evidence weighty enough to more thaw balance the intemperate aceusation of irre sponsible scribblers. Having thoroughly , investigated the mat ter, we give it our deliberate opinion that General Grant does not now drink--tbat is, anything alcoholic. The Hon. Wm. E. Dodge, - president of the National Temper ance Society, than whom no one can be more hostile to everything approaching in temperate habits in a public man, has been to Washington recently. While there, in 'company with General Howard, he had. a long interview with General Grant. The I conversation was candid straightforward, and ingenious; and though it would not be right to repeat all that was said, Mr. Dodge has reported enough to us to convince us that no friends of temperance need have any cause for anxiety as to the temperance prin ciples of General Grant.

Though framed by the opponents of prohibitor* leg islation, it recognizes the principle of pro hibition in a section enabling a majority of the voters in any town or city to prevent the granting of licenses to sell liquor to be drunk on the premises, tho only exception 'being in the case of innkeepers, who may, notwithstanding such vote, be licensed to sell to their guests. A license may be for feited by the sale of liquor to "an intoxi cated ;person," to a minor, or to any one who by excessive indulgence "injures his health, exposes Ids ,thmily to want or vio lence, or the towno..o.t•of his settlement to eipense:" Pro*WAi.,4re made for-en trance upon the prindoes_of the licensee at any time for the purpose of analyzing his liquorsolie license to be forfeited in case they prove "impure or of bad quality."
