The subject of your impudence in thus

agree with lheir peers, they disagree in that

well lor vou lo cultivate

in «oma degree well-limed. Ol' hue a pomon j
of the newspaper press in the Free Stales |

to propose lhal Mr. Orr of Smuh Carolina

Friday night of hist week, together with the form,

No Turning Buck.
The liquor interest has been fouling itself on the
prospect uf the larger liberty lhat should ensue up.
on the expected repeal of the “Jug Law,” so-called,
which repeal has been confidently looked for by the
fr.iternily, from the present Lcgi-d iluro. Prone In
indulge a somewhat disordered fancy lo its full bent,
and content lo accept the prodigal visions of Hope
Us the fulfilment of unfailing Promise, it foolishly
presumed dial that liw was to be unconditionally
repealed, and the way to universal grog dealing op
ened up by the removal of restraint.
It is not necessary to point out the absurd credu
lity of the tnfficking brotherhood, manifested in
their eager acceptance of a sheer improbability. It
is evident to ail reasoning mortals that Gov. Pollock
could neither consistently nor conscientiously suffer
the unconditional repeal of even so defective a law
as the present; since such a repeal would bo hope
lessly retrogressive and a serious dsmagd lo the
cause which all good men have at heart. Having
entered upon the domain of Temperance reform un
equipped with the full armor of Prohibition. Tem
perance men, though once mistaken in policy, can
not afford to loose their hold upon legal redress at
once and retrace their stops. Gov. Pollock will not
permit so dangerous a stride backward lo be taken
should a mistaken majority of the present Legisla
lure endeavor to force it upon him.
Our devotion to the cau«c of Prohibition, we think,
cannot, be questioned. Wegcgurd it as the only ad
equate remedial agent in the casting down of the
idols set up in the land by Excess. There seems lo
be no intermediate ajpp between unrestrained traffic
and entire Prohibition. The license system incur
view, was grounded in error und productive of in
calculable evils in its operation. It extended a pro
tecting legal arm around a trade which was ever un
outlaw under a healthy beat of the great moral and
religious heart of society. Ilidlh.it system never
been adopted it is possible that the way up lo Prohi
bition had not presented the difficulties we now en
counter- He who sold poison to his neighbor with,
out reference lo ihe working of law, wag responsi
ble to God and his own conscience ; but when ho
drove his trade under the seal of the Commonwealth,
and reposed dndcr the protecting wing of the law,
he forgot his accountability lo God and drowned the
pleadings of conscience with the ever repealed ar
gument—“l am an authorized agent of the Com
mnnweahh."
Who are the warmest advocate* of a return to
the license system ? Cast carefully and discrimin.
alingly about you. Who of your friend* and neigh.
bora advocates a return to the license system 7 You
will, in ninety-nine of every hundred cases, find
them to be men interested in the traffic, cither di
rectly or Indirectly. The distiller, the importer, and
the wholesale dealer in your I urge cities; the brew,
er, the tavernkeeper and the denizen of the rot got*
doggery—all those men advocate a return to the 11.
cense system. Looking further, you will find a
class of advocates with rheumy eyes and trembling
limbs; and they dwell in houses from which Rum
has driven every vestige of love and peace, leaving
instead as horrible mockeries of departed household
gods, i weeping woman and a circle of half-elad lit.
lie ones. The fierce and pitiless north.wind rushes
in at the broken |W ne and sweeps the ashes on the
comfortless hearth in eddying heaps- The-little

for bread. Dread 7 There is not a crust on the
shelf. The creature who deals out rum in secret tu

city, commercially and politically, and to
note with what a healthy appetite they par
took.of whm was spread before them.
It, was best National assemblage. we
ever witnessed. It was the general remit k
of ul) jlist no liner-looking body of men was
ever s£en together in this country. , ,The va
rious delegations presented array of intel
ligent earnest, honest.men that, was.-pleossm
to behold—many of theip venerable with
years, and others well known fur distinguished
political service in the highest councils of ihe
Nation. Nut turbulent men, given to much
speaking.; but calm, self-possessed, cautious,
prudent and firm. The best, ability wag
brought to the consideration of the platform
and the plan of organization ; and when the
ground' which, the party is to take before jhe
country was carefully reviewed, the conven
tion planted itself there with a decision which
did it infinite honor. AU ihe, business of.the
convention was transacted decently and in
order; men of all shades of opinion were
patiently heard; and when ihe hour of,ad
journment arrived, there was not un unpleas
ant event or ap unkind word to look buck
upon or regret.
Twenty-four stales and Ijwo Ifirriio.rirg were
represented in the oouvenirop—ull of Ihefieo
s\ales and night ,p[ the slave states. To
speak of such n’convention ns “ sectional,”
or us lacking ilia spirit of nationality, is an
abuse of terms 100 flagrant to be tolerated.-
Abundant evidence was given that there is in
iljje slave slnles a growipg sentiment of sym

the oppressed non-sluvebolding whiles of ihe

The result of the Copvenlion, it will be
seen, was the appointment ol an able Nation

National Nominating Convention at Philadel

ihe balilu of Bunker’s Hill) an urgent rec

lo organize in townships, counties and Slates ;

ganizing the greq) Republican National parly

mains for the fre t musses of the country lo
carry it forward.
The Address adopted cannot he published
for a few days. The aullior desires to re

ment will attempt to do so foolish a thing.—
But so long us Pierce is President all will be
prepared ;|o hear of his doing many foolish,
things. If the report of his having given
Col. Sumner orders to stop invasions be true,
we feftr that he has only, done.il lo prevent
an army of freemen from lowa, coming l«
'he .assistance of their, friends in lime of war.
If the Missourians, however, aie prevented
Horn coming over at Ihe same lime, we shall
have no more trouble and be satisfied. But
we fear that the President’s orders lo Sumner
‘requires him n> be governed by the Governor
of the Terrilory in ordering out his men,and
if Woodson is appointed suqcessor to Wilson
Shannon, the Missourians will have us where
ihey want to gel us, arrayed against the
United Slates troops, Government, &c., end
if any difficulty occurs, the Governor has
only 10 call upon Col. Sumner and the militia
of Missouri to put us down.
However, we hope that Congress will lake
good care of Kansas, and proiect the young
State from all invasion from all quarters. ,

ling for Chaplain was going on in ihe House
of Representatives ihe other day, Gen Amos
P. Granger, who had brought forward the
name of Daniel VVal.do, the Revolutionary,
Solder nnd Preacher, who.wns subsequently
elected, briefly alluded lo his interesting his
lory, and earnestly commended him in ihe
favorable consideration of his fellow members.
A member who was present, and who de
scribed the scene to ihe Tribune, says, that
when the roll wns called, 'he General re
sponded : “Daniel Waldo, of Ihe Revolution;’’
Questions pomed in upon from all quarters
during the voting, nnd were answered at the
instant about ns follows : “Which side was
he on?” “In quire ni 'he Pension Office,''
said the General. “ Wh.ißs his politics V'
“Revolutionary,” wns ihe reply, “ What's
his Religion ?" “Congregational,” “!s be
n Fdlihuster! ’ “ Yes,” said the General,
“he Filhbuslred against George the Third.”
The result was that the old Revolutionary
Patriot distanced his dozen competitors on
the second ballot, receiving more votes than
all of them combined,
lowa. The Hon, A. J, STBVE.vsof Fori
Des Jjloines has been uppninied one of ihe

"We had an enthusiastic Republican mass
mewing m this place on Saturday—took
high Republican grounds, and set.ihe ball in
moijqn for Central lowa. Our State Conven

Those who are sensible'uf the true enjoy

in iheir own breasts, will know the value of
being cheaply pleised.
