The warmest opponents of intemperance we presume, will not deny that the present lie,enselaw has altogether faied to effect the object of its enactment. In our own city, for instance, it is disregarded to so great an ex tent, that there are probably four places where liquor is 501 , 3 without a license to one licensed house. The failure of the Oommon wealth authorities to enforce the law results in the disturbance of public justice and the increase of law breakers. The State Treas., urer, in s;eaking of this subject, says : "That large amounts of revenue are lost to the Treas ury by the refusal of persons to apply for their licenses, who prefer to sell without, rath- er than pay a tax which does not fully protect them from cornpgtitio'n from those who didregard the law.' Persons ti wh an li cences have been gr .nted by the Board re,, fuse to take them out, and prefer to run the risk of a violation of the law. So far as pro vention of breaches of the law, (he public au thorities seem to be ineffic4'nt. It is not a mere spirit of lawlessness on the part of those who disobey the present enactm nt, which so unsuccessfully prevents the enforce, meet of the law, and in view of the dangerous tendency of the example of systematic law breaking t. other clases of otlenders, it is emi , neatly appropriate that our Legislature should adopt a different and, if possible, a better system than the present one. As a revenue measure the present law is n-ither expedient -nor proppr. The Excise system, for that is - what it amounts to, is not consonant with the true principle of social science, upon which all just and equal laws are founded. Why should the legislature recognize any distinction he- tween those who sell liquor, and those engag ed -in the sale cf Lny other commodity ? As tong as liquors are classed Is legitimate obs jects of commerce, not distinguished from other merchandize by the wholesale dealer, the attempt to restrain their sale to tte consumer by a heavy . tax, will be cinsidered unjust anti oppressive, and it will be found intpo-sib'e to enforce the law, as laws which are wholesome -are and ought to tie egosy ,d. The restraint which the law impos.estdoes not restrain the vice of drunkenness in the_ least degree, and the example of those who break the law with impunity, leads to the perpetration of offenses innumerable against the good order of society and the public welfare. If it is a legitimate article of commerce, which it is by our laws, there can be no good reason why a retailer of liquors should pay a heavier tax than any other dealer, and it has always been our opin ion, that the roost effectual cure for the evils of intemperance would be to remove all re. straints from tif.tis class of merchandize, and to adopt stringent laws for all abuses arising out of it. The vices and dis . ortleis, arising from the use of intoxicating hunors,should be punished by an inflexible administration of the laws. Drunkenness should rot be suffered to excuse more flagrant offenses attributed to its eacts Experience has shown that sump tuary enactments upon this question are use less, and the revenue feature of the present law is but unequal taxation in another shape Let the Legislature place liquor sellers upon the same foot lig with the venders of other commodities, and then make such laws as will punish them for any breach of the laws. The present state of things is against the dig nity of the law, and we hope the present leg islature may devise and enact an efficient remedy. They have past experie-ee to guide them, and whatever they do, let it be of such a character, that the authorities of the Com monwealth can enforce their enactments, for the present almost universal disregard of the law is little better than petty treason to the State. ' The legislature of Minnesota has passed a bill loaning five million of State bonds to the several railr ad companies organized at the last session, and for whom is held in trust the munificent grant of lands from Congress for railroad purposes. The act, which has created a great deal of discussion and party spirit, both in the legislature and out, provides that whenever either of the said companies shall complete, ready for the superstructure thereon, ten miles of road, the government shall cause to be issued and deliver to said company bonda to the amount of ono hundred thousand dot lars, and so on till the loan is exhausted. is further provided in the act that, as it is in violation of the constitution, it shall be sub•. matted to a vote of the people, and that lour fifths of each road is to be completed before the year 1866, and, in case of failure, that all the rights, titles, and claim of the said company to the lands aforesaid shall be forefeited to the State. These bonds will form a basis for the banking business, and will doubtless soon b..) found in Wall street. On Friday last the army bill of Mr. Quit man, passed the House of Representatives, by the hinds me majority of 124 to 37. It au thorizes the President, to call for Ave regi ments of volunteers. It will now go to the Senate where it will probably be amended, a. as to make the regiments regular troops, and in this shape it should become a law. More troops are needed on the frontier ; the Utah army must be re•inforsed, and the route across the Plains kept open. Congress eau dispense with regulars as easily as with vol, nnteers, and volunteers are expensive. `ATe hope partizanship will not defeat this Lill. It is for the good of the whole people, On Friday, pending the discussion of the Ap propriation Bill, in the House of Represents. tives, a proposition was made to increas- the annual pay of members hereafter - to seven hundred dollars for the session. The last ses sion was an uncommonly protracted and la borious one, and the members voted thom telves two hundred dollars extra compeng Baden, waking seven hundred dollars for that session. As the present Legislature have the last one for a precedent, we suppose the dditional compensation will pass of course. MARCH 23, 1858.

While there is no man who would fill that highly responsible station with more credit to this old Common wealth, and advantage to the public, than the distinguished gentleman we have named, still we are cognizant of the fact that he is no ap plicant for the position, and that his name is used by not too partial frieFids,as a means of tes tifying the appreciation of those high legal abilities which have rightly placed Justice Lewis in the front rank of American jurists. 97orr• Vngixbanda It appears, by a correspondence published in the London papers, that the Porte is endeav oring to purge Turkey of a horde of Italian malefactors, who had become the scourge of solety. It appears that they were to be sent to America or Australia ; but whether because there is more room or more virtue in those countries, the imperial Turk does not explain. There are eight hundred of these malefactors to be disposed of, by throwing them uron the generosity of other nations. America is the " asylum• of the oppressed," but it does not fallow that she should become the workhouse for all the vagabonds of Europe. Our native growth of clime is quite sufficient, without any exotic aid. Ide.2lcan Affairs Mexican affairs do not improve any. The Zuloaga government seems to be absolutely powerless to establish order. Al desperate conflict was expected to take place about the 6th or 7th instant, at Ceyla, the government forces and the opposition being about equal as to forces, each having some 6,000 troops. The Extraordinary has no hope of peace for a long time. The Zuloaga government had made a forced levy to secure soldiers, and for this purpose was seizing upon servants as they issue from the houses of their employers. This has produced so much fear that servants refuse to go out on their employer's business. The Jaurez, or Federal government, was at Guadalajara, and its friends report that the States of the interior are combining to over. throw that of Zuloaga. The Church has come to Zuloaga's aid with a million and a half of dollars in paper, Which is at forty per cent. discount. What the upshot will be, no one can predict ; but if Zuloaga can raise money the chances are decidedly in his favor. Letter of General Calhoun The following is Mr. Calhoun's letter on the aansa3 election, to which reference has hereto fore been made : WASHINGTON CITY, March 19, 1858 As there has been great anxiety to learn the result of the late election for members of the State Legislature, under the Kansas constitution now before Congress, I think it proper to state that recent information, through Governor Den ver and others, leaves no doubt that the returned vote from the Delaware Crossing precinct, in Leaven wort h - county, should be rejected, and that certificates of election should be issued without reference to the vote of the precinct. A month ago I was put in possession of a news paper containing what purported to be the afil davits of the judges of election at that precinct, and, in a communication to the Union, 1 imme diately stated that, if the facts contained in said affidavits were presented to me in an authentic and reliable form, I shculd be governed by them in determining the result of the election in Lea venworth county- Although I have not received any reply to my letter to Gov. Denver, yet from various sources of information I am left in no doubt as to the statements of the judges of elec tion at that precinct; and I shall, therefore, is sue the certificates of election to the persons having the highest number of votes in Leaven worth county, irrespective of the Delaware Cros sing precinct. I regret to add that this decision will give the control of Kansas to the party which I view as the enemy of the peace and good order, the constitution and laws of the Union.

About 9 o'clock on Thursday morning the Peekskill train was coming down Eleventh avenue at tho rate of speed allowed by law with in the city limits, and when at' Forty-fifth street a shoemaker, named Thomas Finich, attempted either , to cross the track or get upon a car of the train and was run down and cut to pieces. A great excitement was the cons sequence. Upwards of two thousand labor ers, quarrymen and mechanics, gathered upon the track, and when the police had placed the body upon a ladder, and were about to remove it, the crowd assaulted them, and they were obliged to desist for a time, but subse , qnently managed to remove the body to the Station House. CM= Riot in New York The 10f t o'clock morning train, on arriving at the spot, was stopped by the mob and had to back up the road for several blocks. Women hurled stones from the house t , ps, as the train passed, upon the cars, as well as at the police, who were endeavoring' to preserve order. The most they could do was to prevent the rails from being torn up. By o'clock a large force of police had reached the scene and further violence was prevented Eight arrests were made The Concert on Thursday Evening. Mr. Grow, the tgeut of the company an nounced to give a concert in City Ball on Thursday evening, arrived in the city yester day, and was engaged during, the day in per fecting arrangements for the concert. •The sale of reserved seats will commence at nine o'clock this morning. at the music store of John U. Mellor, No. 81 Wood street. The price of these tickets has been fixed at $1,50. Other tickets will be sold at sl;commencing on Thursday morning. All that we have to regret is that these celebrated artistes can give but one concert here. Vieuxtemps or Thalberg alone could till the ball ; but when we have them combined, and in addition such artistes as Nlad'lle Cariolini, Miss Annie Kemp and the English tearr, Mr. ?erring, is it any wonder that anxiety is felt concerning the af fair ?

Tho following petitions wore presented : By Mr. Foster: From the Pittsburgh bar, praying for an additional Judge; from the Pittsburgh Board of Trade again -t railroad discriminations ; also a re monstrance of the Board of Trade against the repeal of the Tonnage Tax. The Insurane! and Liquor bills wore made.the spe oial order for Wednesday, the Merchants' and Manu facturers' Bank for Thursday, and the Militia bill fur he : , awe afternoon Mr. Foster reported as committee the Senate bill providing for the removal of the Allegheny Bank, and the Rouse proceeded to consider the bill, which was read a first time, when Mr. Biorer moved its in definite postponement, which gave rise to consider able debate ; Messrs. Bierer and Jenkins opposed the bill, and Messrs. Abrams, Foster, Geopp, Scott, Ramsdell, Irwin, Voegbtloy and Ebur urged the passage of the bill; the motion for its postpone ment was lost, and it passed to a second reading by a vote of 57 against 24, and by a vote of 38 to 28 the bill was finally passed, and needs but the Gov ernor's approval to become'a law. THIRTY•s'IFTH CONGRESS FIRST SESSION Yesterday's Proceedings Mr. Stuart said he would not discuss the question on the abstract principles of slavery, but on the ground that the action of the Lecompton Conventi.n was an intentional fraud upon the people. He then followed with considerable closeness the clauses cf . the President's message, contending that its ratifier,- ing in some cases was fallacious, and, in other cases, absurd. He was astonished that the President would in this special message say that Kansas was in a state of rebellion, and yet propose to admit this rebellious State into tae Union. He would not recapitulate the history of Kansas; that had been done. There are two factions in Kansas: Abolitionists who support the Topeka Constitution, and a squad of Southerners in favor of the extension of Southern institutions and the Lecompton contrivance. But the great body of them are against both these Constitutions. Ile cited various proofs in support of his position. Ile next turned to the actual state of Kansas when the President made that memorable statement as to ru- hellion. It was at the time of the October electiol when the mail and telegraph brought word that a was peace there. It was absurd to say that the pe pie, having the government in their own bands, ar.d exercising it under the tiovernor appointed I.y the President, was in a state of rebellion. The peop e peacefully prepared an issue by which they cf:u'd express their objections to the proceedings of the Convention. They did so by ten thousand majority. The President having established, as he then thinks, the Constitution, on principles of right, proceeds to defend it on the principle of expediency. For him self, Mr. Stuart, his view_ of a Territorial Con stitution is that It is an incipient movement fur the formation of aState. If presented to Con gress, and refused, it is no longer a Constitution. Mr. Stuart pleaded earnestly for .a conciliatory course on this question. Let the Kansas act, he said, be fairly executed; let the people make their Constitution in their own way, and there will be peace in Kansas and in the country. Let the people exercise a privilege which, with all within our bor ders, belongs to them, and in a few days we can her ald throughout the Union that Kansas has had her rights secured. The galleries were so crammed that a lady fainted. Mr. Douglas has just entered and is holding a long private conversation with Mr. Green; he looks sick; everybody is trying fo get a peep at him. The Turkish visitors have also just entered. Mr. Bayard proceeded to demonstrate by reference to numerous legal authorities that Lecompton was , framed with all duo formality ; that the majority in I Kansas wore bound by the vote of the minority in asmuch as they are held to ascent to what they could bave avoided if they chose. Be had heard that there were no frauds in the vote as to whether or not Kansas should be admitted. The frauds were at a subsequent legislative election. Congress, he con tended, had nothing to 4o with that. Arguing to the question of submission, he thought it would have been better to have submitted the constitution to the people, but that submission was not necessary to its validity. It does not establish but merely tolerates slavery, and that the Legislatuee can at any time emancipate slaves in Kansas with the owner's con sent, or by paying about $150,000 can set the whole population free without the owner's consent. Mr. Broderick reviewed at length the circumstances attending the repeal of the Missouri ConaproinLee, and the eoasequeneas folloting repeal, 'The South, he said, had by that fatal tnea'aute, destroyed its own interests, and Was now seeking a remedy by the dissolution of the Union; tut would dissolution, he asked, prevent the immigration of free labor into the South? No ! Wherever there is land for homes, there free labor will find its way. Had the Missouri line been permitted to stand, the free laborer would not have attempted to cross it. A E'enator bad said that Cotton is King, but had omitted to tell us about the fluctuations of that staple. Gold is King, said Mr. Broderick. He represented a State where labor is honorable; where the highest persons are not ashamed to own that they have delved in the earth. He was glad the Senator from South Carolina had spoken about white slaves. He hoped ;hat his lan guago would stir up the two hundred thousand white men in that State who are now kept in sub jection by the thirty thousand wealthy slaveholders. The Senator from South Carolina had called Northern laborers slaves. He did not tt . ink him personal, otherwise he should have noticed the remark at the time of its utterance. He, Mr. Broderick, is the youngest Senator, excepting one, on the floor. lie had served an apprenticeship of five yea '8 at a la borious occupation ; he was the son of a laborer, and had only to look around that bnilding to see evidence m his father's handiwork He, Mr. Broderick, tired of the struggles and jealousies of his class, went to California. His election in that State to this Senate was not the result of accident, for he had not only to fight against the opposition of his own party, but against presses subsidized with government money. Leaving this personal explanation, he turned to his course in the Ser ate ; he arrayed himself against Leeompton, he said, because all the allegations of fraud against that instrument had been fully proved. .These frauds are known to the President, and yet he keeps in office the men who committed these frauds. Ho hoped that the historian of these times would record this attempt to force this measure, to the petu lance of a failing intellect, the trembling dotage of an old man tottering on the verge of the grave. Recessa till seven o'clock. EIGHT O'CLocx, P. M.—The avenues to the Senate are so densely thronged by the multitudes anxiou.3 to hear Mr. Douglas, that the messengers find it im possible to effect an entrance, and the reporters in side have been unable to send their despatches to the telegraph office. SENATE HOUSE OF ILEPULSENTATIVES. Mr. Stephens offered a resolution to discharge Wol cott and turn him over to officers cf the law for trio in the Criminal Court on an indictment found againa him. Mr. Phillips offered a substitute proposing to sus pend tho further execution of the order of the Eloute until said indictment shall be disposed of. Mr. Stanton thought it improper to discharge him now. When the evidence- is closed, the Committee intend to propose 4. resolution similar to Mr. Ste- Mr. Stephens said he offered the resolution in con sequence of the extreme indisposition of Wo•lcott's wife. Mr. Stanton said that the messenger of the corn mittee, from Boston, reported that there was no ex. treme Fieknoss. He moved to lay the resolution en the table, which was disagreed to by a vote of 59 a g ainst 103. Mr. Hughes offered amendment for an uncoil ditional discharge, which was rejected by 22 agains 161. Mr. Phillip's substituto was finally rejected, anti Mr. Stephens' resolution adopted by 125 against 67. Mr. Seward made a majority roport in the case of Matteson, arguing against jurisdiction. Mr. Curtis made a minority roport on the same case. The subject was postponed till Saturday. The Deficiency 'ppropriation bill came up. Mr. Garrett made a speech in favor of Lecomrton, arguing that as long as the Constitution of Kansas will last, slavery must ram.,ie in that State. It can be altered only in the manner prescribed by th it in strument. He believed, in the language of that Constitution, that the right of property is higher than any constitutional sanction. Slav:: property is a 2 sacred as any other, and has Divine saneti.m. The issue now before Congress and the nation is, shall another slave State be admitted 7 Do gentle. men, he gskel, think that the South will calmly sur render her rights? Mr. Bishop explained the position of the Dein, grata of Connecticut on slavery, concluding by say. lig that the South hatoLthe right to move into Ter ritories whenever and wEerover they ohnoi.e, and tha v. here a State is to be admitted into the Union it may _ _ with or without slavery. We take, ho said, the 'Jon siitution as we find it, not as we wish it to be. The Democrats of Connecticut, and of the North, will stand by the South on all that is constitutional. He replied to the objections to Lecoinpton, and advocated the admission of Kansas under it Mr. Pottle said that the pre,ent• strakgle did nut Le;in with Kansas. It began with the government, and hes kept pace with it, and is tint likely to end until there is nothing left to struggle fur.

WASEIINGTOtN CITY, March 22.—The Republican minority of the Select Committee of fifteen, have stated through Mr. Morrill that they will not publish their report, as that of the majority has been spread before the public, and that of Mr. Harris is in type. They allude to the protracted struggle from which their appointment arose, and declare that the assump tion on the part of the majority that the record is complete, like the refusal to submit the Constitution of Kansas to a full and fairavote of the people, is a confession that a thorough investigation would prove fatal to the extraordinary document. The Presi dent's message, the report of the majority and the report of Joh Calhoun are treated at length. The pledges of s..bmission on. the part of Nebraska and Kansas advocates, the President, and so on down to the Union, ,tc.r,' also claim their a:tention. They say their wanton violation is denounced as punic faith. The whole series of alleged frauds is set forth in chronological order. The illegality and irregularity of the Lecomptou Constitution from the beginning are set forth by a long array of facts, step by step. Not doubting the sincerity of the President when he says that domes tic peace will be the happy consequence of the imme diate admission of Kansas into the Union under the s Lecompton Constitution, wo are yet constrained to say that in our deliberate judgments the President over estimates the docility of the nation, and par ticularly that of the people of Kansas. Domestic peace cannot be obtained by trampling down the rights of any portion of the people. The measure is not expedient even if it were just; but is clearly wrong. The idea that Kansas must be admitted in order to satisfy the States where slavery is recog nized.; that it is not the fixed purpose to admit no more slave States into the Union, is even less tol erabm. It will be timo enough to raise that question when a slave State offers' itself for admission. To force a free State into the Union as a slave State will test the question more keenly than may be de sirable, and the project should be dismissed as a dan gerous experiment.

Nomination for Mayor of St. Louis. Sr. Louis, March 22.-0. D. Filley was nominal d or Mayor by the Free Democracy to.day. Lk Free Spoken Frenchman. One of the Paris members of the French legislative body, Mr. (Maier, has had the boldness to denounce, in plain but eloquent language, the Emperor Napoleon's new policy of reform, which has been proposed to prevent conspiracies against the Emyeror's life. He condemned the law for uniting the judicial and and executive powers ' for not defining the of fence it meant to punish. No bill had ever been presented to a Frencloassembly which violated so many fundamental principles. It was said to be meant to apply only to Rod Republicans and crimes of social order, but the speaker asked when did any one dare to proclaim in public council that justice might be dispensed with towards enemies ? It was not to reach these miserable wretches that the law was proposed, bat to reach those who dd not conspire, and who are displeasing to the Government, who can be reproached with no offense, but may be considered criminals in expectancy. The boldness of the language in criticising the motives of the government is the most remark able instance of free speech which has been listened to in the assembly since Louis Napo, !eon's assumption of power.
