Our Scotch Covenanters and Seceders, Eng
lish and Irish Puritans and Presbyterian's,
French litigeilets and Swiss Calvinists, Data
Stformed and German Lutheran, Independents
and Baptists, and if there be any other among
us, brought their religion here with them, - ot•
rather, it brought them.
The communities they formed were esSenti-
oily moral and religious, and their religion and
morals they have a right to maintain, maugre
the universe: and it has been decided by our
highest State tribunals, that Christianity is
part of the common law of the laud; so we
trill not suffer it to be guinsayed for a moment
that ou both the grounds 'of general good, and
original compact, the public moraltil must be
gtmrded and defended by every just and avai
lable means.
Ouce more the exordium. While my at
tention will be directed .to the protectio'n of the
social virtue of Temperanci , , and what can be
done by legal enactment therefor, it will be
- underatood that I do tiot-vegard:this as the
only item calling for a revixion of the criminal
code; nor am I disposed tcrfriime new Princi
' pies, or apply old priciples of loci', for the
suppression of intoxication and drunkennes:,
which I would not forilt, and apply to other vi
ces aid immoralities alike enormous and inju- .
rious. Laws, to be effective, must proceed on
e9ultablit, welt established priveiples4 and
would be unwarrantable and hazardous foribe:
,purpose of experimenting on- the case before
us, to unsettle thefuudainental principles of
the legal science.
A new law, on this subject, would receive
„my cordial . approbation ; the of of which
m 11
would be ore effectually to suppress drunk-,
anneal' and intoxication, by exemplary punish
meet of the inebriate, and the one who fur ,
niches the MAUS' of intwtimition—:by keeping
from the rend' of. Bildt men the, instrument of
dissipation find injury to theineelyesaml others
—and by keeping WI far us might he out of the
sight and reach of thosqvilmee taste and mor-:
ale have not become,vitioted, what might bring
them to n skinner's', unhappy and useless life,
and Wee them to a deplorable end. "..
For this purpose in the first place„ . all license
to vend inttaioutint drinks' as a -bevernge
should he withheld. No plea, at least as far
tie any inebriate is concerned, that if be j chooses
to drink and another is willing to l eell. Ohl) ,
being froo and of full ogO,) no one else has a
right to interdict, can have any force. For
were this pica allowed in onerinstanco of vice
and immorality, it would subvert the criminal
code• We could no longer punish duellists or
adulterers, usurers or gamblers. On the prin
ciples laid down, the public has a claim on the
services and supervision of the morals of its
members of which they cannot exonerate them
selves, to say nothing of the claims of families
and relatives• Nor is the plea of necessity or
utilityany stronger. I will only say here, that
from n careful and pretty extensive observation
of fifty years, other things being equal, the
man who drank no intoxicating liquors, or
none to do either good or harm, always per
formed More labor and underwent longer fa
tigue, endured the -extremes of heat andcold,
wet and dry, better than did theitaan who at
tempted•to support his strength by the use of
ardent spirit , , and -we need not fear that the
complaints of persons who have no fondness
for intoxicating drinks themselves, and rejoice
in the good morals and happineis of others,

an end has been put to licensed drinking hou-

sea. Again, . .
Seboinlly. Intoxication might be declared
a felony, of Which both the principal who be
comes drunk, and his necessary who provides
the wherewith, could be copsictted by jury
trial, made add provided in the case.
Existing penalties I think inadequate ; for
which reason, perhaps, the law is seldom en.
form-d. Were fine and imprisonment the en
acted penalty of this offence, and the law only
enforced, it would put an end to the scandal
ous practices at the bars of licensed retailers
• and tippling houses, in a great measure. Be
sides, the felony of the vender, nni felonious
use made of. his " Wel; in trade" would be
legal grounds of forfeiture—that his premises
might-be- searched, and- aldliqUors - found - for ,
:lilted and disposed of [according to law.
I nm not aware of any legal principle, or
.npplieation of legal principle, (when I soy this
I rememberd am not "learned in the law,'
and wish you so to remember also,) I know no
principle by which , property can become forfeit,
unless by the treason. or e ony 'of its owner,
or felonious use made of, except the Maine
liquor law, which I rega as anomalous
Public nuisances shut ' e abated ; but tis'far
as I know form no grounds for search end
work no forfeiture thereof. Srougpled goods
are searched for, seized, :and forfeited. Prop
erty to the way to an CDCM) . 8 Camp or coun •
try, is 'liable in the same way. So are horses,
that within a given time have beg,: run on a
wager. But to forfeit the liquor that •lins
already been run down the " red lane" would
le useless, and, without a felony, to forfeit all
intoxicating drinks in-a man's iio-session, re
quires, by analogy, the rot feiture of all his
horses, because a 'man has allowed one to be
jun on a wager. Obscene boots are and ought
to%e forfeit without being offered for sale: but
these are essentially bad; incapable of any
good use; which is not the case with various
clas-es of spirituous liquors.
Thirdly. Keeping a tippling house should
be declared a felony and subject to the same
penalties and punishment as in the above sec
tion.
Fourthly. The 'amount of fine shoeld be
increased, and term of imprisonment extended
when intoxicating drinks are sold to minors or
on the first day of the week, the Lord's day.
Fifthly. A suitable_ number of State agents

to whom only, within the State, manufacturers
shall sell; and vid o are to.sell for mechanical
and medicinal purposes, having reasonable as
surance frorathe cliaram.r and declaration of
purchasers that the entire quantity is intended
for such purposes, and no -part thereof to bo
drank as n beverage,; and sales to be made to
Moors only on the order of parents, guardians
or employers, with the assurances above, un
der such penalties as enacted in Sec. 3d, and
a suitable penalty for obtaining such liquors
from said agents under false pretences, and
for converting-them to nn unlawful purpose.
If such measures were sanctioned by the'
sound moral sense and action of the commu
nity, their. operation. I think, would keep out
of the sight and reach, to a considerable ex
tent, of the victim of morbid appetite the en-'
snaring cup; and by the very impression the
existence orsuch films would make—'lust the
frequent use of intoxicating drinks is disrepu
table and injerious—and by the making the
handling of it much less frequent than former
ly, would act as a pretty secure preventive
those whose 'tastes and ,habits are yet free
from "contamination.
Some, perhaps, will think I expect too much
from-the enactment and operation of such a
law as I have described. Others will be os
opinion that I have stopped fur short of the
salutary enactment celled for; and others, no
doubt, will assert I have,gone far beyond 'wha t
the rights of' individuals, the i'.tereats of-the
public, and even the morals of the class of
persons chiefly contemplated, requiCe or allow.
These Instill:me their answer already in the
principles and arguments foregoing; at least
to the extent that my time and present purpose
permit. I will only hint as I pass, that while

no arguments could convince, as they must be

when lie onion] into eociety for the protection

you admit a single.qualificationWhich was im
plied in the outset, whenlntayledOndhia very
ground, viz: that we can only do: that, which
can be rightly done. Nor will we find acasu
ist out of the. s'chool of Peter Dens, who will
affirm thiit we mhydo even*" a little wronete
do a great right. ' Ido not mean by this that
no mon can be hindered in a lawful or useful
occupation, be the time, place, or eirdutnstan
cos under which ho wishes to pursue it what
they may.
A slaughter-house,. in borough or city, can
be Abated as a nuisance, or the manufacture
of arms and ammtininition, likely to fall into
the enemy's hands, can be suppressed, Etc.—L.
But the eases are so far from parallel, that I
shell feel some surprise if accurate and dis
passionate thinkers shall attempt to corrobor
ate one - by the other.
,_ - Bating the nuisance,
ns aforesaid, hinders not the dontinuance of.
the useful occupation.; and those.who follow it
charge their inconvenience to their customers,
and the manufacture of arms being but, "aid
and comfort to the enemy" is for the time sup
pressed. Hero, however, we have to do with
a cabs wholly different. 'The manufacture and
sale of some of these liquors is almost if not
altogether a Necessity to the commonwealth;
while the manufacture of arms for the enemy
is eminently hazardous to the State, and thence
suppressed; and the arms carry danger with
them despite the'ivill and efforts of 'every good
citizen, while intoxicating drinks are only in
jurious through the wilful nbuso of them.
In the utility, if not the necessity of spiritu
ous liquors, for medicinal and mechanical pur
poses then; lies the argument of injury done to
individuals and the community, by the entire
prohibition of manufacture and sale. And if
even n. little wrong might be donei for the sake
great -rrght;--ir-would-bm-n-questiorr-who-
titer this wrong were not too great. Without
unsaying in the least degree what I. uttered
against the necessity of such drinits in ordi
nary cases, I can affirm their utility, and even
their necessity In oases sometimes occurring.
It is a reliable tradition of my paternal an'ces
ors, that, on a long voyago'to this country, the
lives of all were saved by a store of five gal
lons of spirits, whicir s dlit r iibuted in very small
quantities served for a time the purposes of
bread and water. But as the medicinal end
mechanical uses are not denied, 1 need not add
on this point.
instances, open to conyiction. If the princi :
pies I assume, are wrong, or the argument on
them illegal, tot it be mode aPpear e Let it be
shown, that without •,ha introduction of any
anomalous principle of law,, and only With
such application as will Le admitted and plea
ded for in respect to other vices and immorali
ties, the dm ired pnhil2iiioa can he maintained
and also that no wrong is done in this matter,
but such as is done area must be submitted to
in other cases, and I agree to become your wil
ling convert.
The first class of objectors aro last to be
answered, viz: who say I expect more from
the proposed arrangement than will be realized,
Some of these, perhaps, will allege that the
very severity of the penalties will defeat the
intent. Of that, society must judge, end ex
' periumat alone can fully determine the matter.
Iluethe,severity I propose,, be it remembered,
'is directed against the criminal parties alone;
bii [lie seierrly Of IGO suppression of tite
manufacture and sale falls on the innocent as
well as the guilty, and is in its nature much
more oppressive.
I am, however, here, as I wish to bo in a
I hope I have not been so muoh misnp
handed, that Coy should think I look for Ith
beneficial results of the proposed en ctmen
froM making sober men out of drunkards and
preventing others from becoming inebriates
against their own inclinations. Against men's
edterminntion it is not easy to effect much in
such matters in this country ;_ yet it might be
hoped, that many who Would be jeopardized by
the constant presence of, or easy access to in-'
toxicating drinks, would not be averse to a
measure which would put them out of sight
and reach. It seems to me important to have
the deliberate conviction, and to carry the
moral sense of the community along with us
in such a movement. And I.ant.freO to state
hero, that I hope for ne much good' to result
from corrbction of •the false views which pre
vail in this matter, as 'from any one thing that
may bo done. The deleterious influences pro
duce(' on the masses by the intemperate acts
and habits of men who are regarded with re
spect and deffcrence, is immense. While men
in the chamber of our national Senate and
balls of State Legislature, on the Bench
and at the Bar, filling the highest posts of
trust, honor,, and eniolument,,adetired for tal
ent and patriotism, are known to be habitual
drinleers,,if not inehriakes, it will not be easy
'to convince some'people that there is, atter all,
any thing so disreputable or hurtful that other
good qualities may not counterbalance; in
other words, without possessing these men's
good properties, they will imitate their vlces.
Now such a law as I propose, would, I think,
Operate strongly on this class of persons. They
would be laid under restraint by n Popular law
explicitly condemning snob indulgence ; and
might feel that their popularity and bold of
office might fall into the wane. Let lir be un•
derstood ilnit intoxication, is, norjn"tiamo but
in reality, a orimerrand it may be 'conjectured
e• hat candidates for popular favor will find out
iloine other way to prove their cleverness than
in shouts and drinking carousals. •
Then, if the evil influence of example—the
example of representatives on constituents,
.of persons extensively and favorably known on
persons who know them but aro unknown by
them, of 'Parents and superiors on childreo•and

In order to carry the conviction; good sensed

this reform and.thus secure the permanent ad
vantages, it must appear we ern not about to
lent down a single vice, for which few of us
havo any inclihation, with the understanding
that dther•vides and immoralities, as hurtful
to individuals and endangering to an equal ex
tent the yermanency of our institutions, shall
have our indulgence. Doing one thing at a
time, is an expeditions method in labor, and
let us do this first 08 we aro now at it. But I
should 'like to have the understanding, that
these principles are to have an application to
all similar practiers, and while this is An . -
portant feature of the above sketch, for which
I „would recommond.it to the consideration of
the wise and good, I. shall be disposed to look
for the same recommendation in any other de

unconquerable desire .1 have for private.happi•

And now, good people till, lawfully assembled
and for a laudable purpose. Though our State
of Pennsylvania be not the .. ,hindutost of the
States and Nations in legislating fur 'the pre

appearance on this occasion is an eiPiession of
your belief that something yet remains to be
done in this matter. One hundred and forty
eight years since, the province made a law for
the general purpose we have in view. Re
peated steps, 101 - progressive, none of -them
retrograde, have since been taken by the pro
vines and state. It is a fair subject of legis
lative action we have before us. The license
poweeds absolute—to limiter to abolish. The
right and duty of the community to punish
public crime, and protect public morals, is
past all question, end lie would be a shameless
wigbt that would for a moment demur.' The
good of our country, the interests-of humanity
and in some degree the success of our panic
religion, demand that all fair and legal appli
ances ho brought to bear on the purpose we

MR. O'CONNEL And ➢IRS. MORIARTY
It was at an Irish court of justice that Mr.
O'Connell could he seen to greatesCadvaninge.
Every gonlriy of BM lawyer antithe advocate
he displayed. Be showed research and perfect
mastery of his profession';-rtrra he exhibited his .
o• n great and innate qualities. Who that ever
beheld him on the Munster circuit, when he ;
was in the height of his fame, but must have*
admired his prodigious versatility of formida•
Life power,. pathos was often admirable;
his hit or flowed without effort or art. What
jokes he uttered!—what sarcasms How
well he worked his case through, never throw
ing away a chance, never relaxing his untiring
energies!
One of the drollest scenes of vituperation
that O'Connell ever figured in, took place in
the early part of his life. Notlong aft or he
was tolled to the lA', his character and pecu
liar talents received rapid recognition from all
who were even casually acquainted with him.
His talent for vituperative
,language was per
ceived, and.by some he was even in those days
considered matchless as a scold. There was,
however, at-that time in Dublin, a certain wo-
Mtan, Biddy Moriarty, who had a Luckster's
stall on one of the ()nays nearly opposite the
Fetir Courts. She was n virago of the first
0rt144 : very able with her fist, and still more
formidable with her tongue. From ono end of
Dublin to the other, she was notorious for her
powers of itbuse, and even in the Provinces,
Mrs. Moriarty's language had passed into cur
rency. The dictionary of Dublin slang had
been:considerably enlarged by her, and her
voluble impudence had almost become prover.
biol. Some of O'COnnell's friends, however;
thought that he could bent her in the Use of
her own weapons. Of this, however, he had
sonde doubts himself, when he had listened
once or twice to seine minor specimens ef her
Billingsgate. It was mooted once whether the
young Kerry barrister could encounter her,
and some One of the company (in O'Connell's
Presence) rather too freely ridiciffed the idea
of his being able to meet the famous Madam
Morrarty. O'Connell never liked the idea of
being put down, and he professed his readiness
to encounter her, and even backed himself for
Lho . match. Belt; wore Offered nod taken—it
.was 'decided that tlici - inaCch should come off at
MI!
' The party adjourned to the huckster's stall,
and there was the owner hitbself, superintend

ers and ragged idlers were, hanging round her
stall—for Biddy was a "character," Munn her
way, was ono of the sights of Dublin, .
, O'Connell was very confident of success.—
Hehiid laid on ingenious plan for overcoming
her:, and, with elt:tho-aculety of an ardent ex:.
perimentalist, waited to put it into prnotice . .7
He resolved to opetithe attack.. At, this : time,
O'Connell's own party, and thileungers about
the place, formed an audiunao quite sufficient

Overwhelmed with this torrent of language,

when he very prudently,made a timely retreat.
"You have woe the wager, O'Connell, here's

the contest.

• A MAN RESTORED TO LIFE AFTER „BURIAL
FOR TEN MONTHS —TIIO subjoined extract is

English officer, on his return from the Court
of liutji etsing, in Iddia. We must also add,
that Gen. 'Ventura, who wee ono of the wit
nesses in this extraordinary transaction, testi
fied to toe correctnesss of the statement when
he subsequently visited Paris: Osborne says:
On the Gth of Juno, 1836, the monotony

Ilolines used frequently, in hie addresses to
different juries to explain the tneanitig of ,the.
phrase "naked truth," by relating the follow-
ing fable:
Triitli and Falsehood travelling one warm
day, Met at a river, and both wunt to bsthe at
the same place. Falsehood coming first out
of the water,•took his companion's clothes and
left his Olin vile raiment, and then went On his
way: Truth coming out of tho water, sought
in Vain for his own proper dress—dislaining
to wear the gore of Falsehood. Truth started,
all naked, in pursuirof the thief, but not being
so swift of foot has never overtaken the fugi
tive. Ever since he has been known as" no
sed Truth."
