Vllien is a Man, a Man. ..Ftr the. Potter JOorn ii . lltt. Euvron: In your last issue (Feb. 19th) there is a comiuunication, the writ er of which solicits, fur the sake of luen tal culture, a discussion of the following proposition : qtesoLvgD, That the man who drinks intoxi cating liquors is NOT a man." But before I proceed, I wish to say that I am not that Magistrate whom he saw drink at the bee; nor am I going to offer any apology for drinking. What I will say, I wilt do it as saying the honest con victions of my own judgment, upon the proposition under consideration. First, then, our view of the proposition is, that it contains a self-contradiction; fur, /Low can a man, be a man and not a man at the same - time? This much at least is not logical, to our limited comprehension. But for the proofs of the writer in sup-. Tort of his proposition ; let us look at them. His first remark is, "That in the process of creation man was made." But the proposition not only implies this but states it. This then is not proof. Man must exist -before he can do anything.— Besides, the faculties with which he is en dowed are those which determine him to be what he is called in the proposition— s man. It is reason which assigns him to the species /moo in the genus anima/. Nan's dominion "over all beasts, fish and fowl," has nothing toldo with proving the proposition ; nor has the gratuitous asser tion that they by instinctive fear "fir,/ from his presence." This is the first Lime in our short pilgrimage , arth that we ever saw this stated, cu fiar in the article, nothing is yet proved; but his great proni.ts made to be a prostitution. of I reason. 'c!, , ',!e. this he depends for the car- Tying of leis poiqt. Here, then, is an of-' fort at t phiisiral definition., which is said tq be "Tout which dbitinguishcs a thing from any other by the really dis tinct parts of its essence. But in this .what is the success? lie raises a ques tion by asking 'When is a man drunk," and answers "When his reason and phys ical strength are gone," and the moral point of the crime is brought forward and . the man is drunk before he drinks, and 'his reason gone when he resolves that he will drink." •Liere there seems to be a little jarring. Fur if, as is stated, he is' drunh - . when he has resolved to drink, the dJfinition of drunkenness above is not cor., reel; for when he has re-resolved, his physical strength is not none. Besides, how can a man be resol ving he will do certain things, if his reason is gone? It takes reason to resolve; that is, bring tho evidences for a certain course of action before the mind, to move it, so to speak, to decide in its favor. Still farther, if you say that reason was gone from the man when he resolved to drink, then the query arises, if this is su, then the person is not accountable for his act, , for certain. ly no person attaches blame to the idiot or nuitaiiic for their actions. BeSides we do not believe that the fact that men pros-: titute. their reason, changes them into anything but men. They are men still. If they were not, there could not be found on earth a man, for according- to the book to which the article refers." All have sin ned and come short of thdglory of God." Sin is a violation of God's - law, and his service is declared to be "at reasonable service." To sin, then, is to act unreas onable. We doubt wgether the writer reflected on the condition in which his own statement placed himself. Our proofs for the contrary of the prop osition are these. First: He still lives among men the same after he has drank as he did &fore. He eats . the satite _food ; carries on the functions of life; prosecutes some branch: .of business; talks, thinks and reasons on: the various subjects of interest . which transpire in the world. - He is suscepti ble of pleasure or pain and he is still re 'cognized as human. Second : He is atill the i s übjeet of laW Human laws apply to hitn.the same. The Law of Gcd still appeals to him as a gran., It expostulates with him and warns him of his danger while it beckons idly to a life of soberness by its appeals to his reason; and to woo him by its graphic "accounts of a Saviour's love tor ii:locru. The law of God will never let go its hold of the man. It will: folloW hint on through every degree of druziken• ness, and hold hint accountable. 4nd the hold which human law has upon him, we can see exemplified daily. The man who has been drunk often, makes con tracts with those who never have ,been drunk in their lives and the contractsi arc as binding to all intents and purposes' • as if linth 'parties hail - been temperr.te. Thord, Druiikenness is not a vice from which' m a n i cannot be redeemed. The force Of this lies here, namely, nicit have been known; by the dint of a resolute wilt, to abandon 4.)revor the Use of spirituous liquors- and IWe sober lives. Now, if they were not` men they could never . .do this, for nothing shortof Ahniislity pow er could maizeia_man, and this they do not possess. fWe suppose "13," would recognize theni as men when they lived sober lives. 11ut how could they make themselves mein after reason was yoke?' in.,dur humble opinion we have proved the propositioti to be false. . Our habits conform to our opinion of . the matter.— Wu laddress a Man who uses ardent spir its as a man. 1 We reason with him about. the impropriety of his eourse. and use eodeaVors to persuade him to abandon it by shOw-ing hint that we . fixt an, interes t for l lds teirljb;i:e., as well as showing him , that it is for inns good. )So u*.h, then, for the proposition, and if I would sayi inure, it would be by way of practical reflections called out by the statements inlthe article, in no way con, netted with the discussion of the Reso lution. • Jly thouglits ran something like the following : Iti seems to be a characteris tic of this writer “B," to mix up things that differ, ad,d to get in personal flings at others,wiill subjects which might be of interest ta people generally. — What possible connection could the calling of a man by the name of "Pope. dotter" have with his resolution he wished to discuss? By what law ,'of christian ethics is he'gor , timed in calliit a man nick-names? To 'us this seems; un reasonable, and therefore totchristia a. To rail at, a person and use ungentlemanly' language, indicates the ‘veakerside. 1 would like to put a foes tion to "B" !for the exercise of his "in tellectual factilties," and that is : Did you go to that Magistrate Whom you saw drink at the bee, and warn him, like a christian man, to change his sjnful habit ? I should judge from your article, you did not ; for how could you when you deemed him not a man? But the command is, "Go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone," and this:must be reason able fur all tlild's commands, arc so de clared. And farther, i 1 that Magistrate should Still rs,o on in nis ways, he is cer tainly very blame worthy, but "B" is not innocent. tiitonl/1 he go on it may be said, "Because thou. bast not given him warning, he shall die iu his sill; but hi: blood will I require at thine. baud.' Besides by assuming such a position towards the unfortunate drinker, and call ing otheis n places one in the painful condi :ion of being able to do them no llcio , l It I wished to lose all infin ence peer men, I know of no more effectu al than to call them hard names, or tell of their.floats to others. Bearing no personal to any, I subscribe my self, FRIEN I D TO MAN. • • . 1 61ic liattuiiiirrnat. ru, cotraiEnspoivr, PA., . Timi'ski VioVil;iicj,life!!; IT, IS SR, i T. Sj CHASE.

The Germantown T•legraph of last week has a very sensible article urgin! , the abolition of Grand Juries. In I:u land a reform - in the Jury, system is strongly adVocated by the f,ondon Times, and a is to be- introduced into the British Parliament aiming more particu larly at a reform in the Traverse Jury, and insisting that three fourths—or nine of the twelve Juror's—shall be sufficient to establish a legal finding. There can be little doubt in the mind of any intelli gent person acquainted with our Courts that this reform in Traverse Juries is merely a question of time. For ourselves we will be satisfied for the present with an effort ou the part of the people to rid themselves of the farce of Grand Juries. We arc satisfied that the ends of justice could be secured quite as well by a trial on'information, as if a True Bill had been found by a Grand Jury. The-truth is,. that ju-tice is often defeated in this relic of the great Circumlocution Office, where men learn flow not to do it. BeSides it, is a useless expense upon the county, and in the cities, corrupt verdicts are of every day occurrence. We heartily second the sug7estion of the 7,:fivraph, that some ambit:oils law yer in our Legislature who wants to,be regarded as a benefactor, shall take this matter in hand, and make it apart of the legislation of the State the present ses sion. We know several gentlemen there, who are fully competent to the task; and we think we speak safely when we say that any member who takes, the initiative steps iu this 'reform, 'no matter to what party he may belong, will secure the thanks not only of his own constituency but of the people of the State at large.— Wellsboro Ayitato - r. Thein's our sentiments. [ED. JOURNAL. A Terror to Evil Doers. Early in the Session of-the present Leg- . islature. Hon. Joseph M. Church, one of the members from Philadelphia, made some rather severe comments on the con duct of one Donovan, who ran against Church for an election to the House, but was repudiated by the people. Donovan took offence at Church's remarks, and re membeqing . the almost unanimous approv al that the pro-slavery press of this State ,gave to the assault on Sumner for words spoken in the Senate, doubtless thought he would be . sustained by his party if he broke Church's head, after the maver of Broook's assault on Sumner; and so he waylaid him in the streets of Harrisburg and did his hest to break Church's head. But this is a Free State, and our Courts do not tolerate such outrages. Donovan was convicted in the Court of Quarter Sessions of Dauphin County of an assault and battery, tind Judge. Pearson, In pass ing sentence, made the following remarks to the prisoner, which do great honor to Jude Pearson, and convey a deserved re buke to the authorities in the District Of Celutul;ia. We heartily commend this sentence to all lovers of peace and good order : Cornelius. Donovan—You have been indicted and convicted of an assault and battery of a very aggravated character.— The jury properly acquitted you of an in tention to commit murder, as the evidence failed to establish that such was your de sign ; but the case is still of more than usual enormity, as the injury was inflicted with cold blooded deliberation on a mem ber of the Legislature, on account of words,'spoken by.him in the course of de bate. The constitution seenres certain immuin'ties to the members, and amongst other things declares "that for any speech or debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other place." This is not merely the paivilege of the mem ber, hut of his constituents. .I.lle - repre sentative must be at liberty to'fr,eely ut ter his sentiments and opinions on every question pending before the body to which he belongs, without accountability except to his conscience, his constituency, and the House of which he is a member. He is sheltered even from the animadversions of the law, and the law must protect him from! the threats of the bully,., the bludg eon of the ruffian . , and the knife and pis tol of the azsassin. Without this immu nity bar General sseuilily could scarce.. ly be said, to r epresen tp a free. State. The members would ,be overawed in their de liberations-by Threats or the fear of exter nal violence, and be obliged to resort for protection to an armed soldiery, or . carry about their pelsoini deadly weaponsof fence. The 'Citizen who aids in forcing this necessity upon- them strikeS a fatal blow at the institutions of lais country and the freedourof representative government. The-nviderice shows that on account of sonie expressions uttered, by . Mr.' Church iii the House of Reprcseratives, - in the course of debate, the wore s.prohably tuis understoed or misreportd, and After a whole day -•fir deliberation, and ample time. for the human passihns tomool, you prepared yourself wit h a heavy ebony cane and a ilarge . horsewh ip, .and after waiting some time by the wayside for him to pass to his lodgings, you attacked him in the public street, struck him a stun ning blow;•Witli such ?6ree as to break the cane, and render him/partially insensible; you followed up that blow with others, and / endeavored to inflict the further in dignity on-his person of lashing him with the horsewhip. The attack was without 'the slightest justification or excuse, and not attended with one palliating cir cumstance. Although our national capital has been disgraced ,by scenes of similar outrage, - !_yet we are proud to say that your offence has no antecedent in this place. Had _I the criminal court- of the District of Co lumbia done its duty to the community, ; .lang set a proper example by inflicting a disgraceful and infamous punishment on the man who outraged the person of a Senator on account of words spoken in debate, we probably should have been )spare(ttlie becessity of now imposing the !sentence of the law upon you. I Although great allowance is made for sudden gusts of passion and the frailty of hunin temper, yet it 'is our invariable rule, to punish by imprisonment every in: dividual who makes a deliberate and pre meditated attack on the person of anoth-': ~or; more especially if accompanied with the indignity of cauingor horse-whipping him. Such onslaughts generally lead to tthe effusion of human blood, and end in I the death - of one or the other of the com batants. Had Mr. Church taken your i life, under,the circumstances diseksed by the evidence, he would probably havci been excusable in law. Had you taken his, you would have expiated your °lrene° on the nllows. uahout the trial we treated your case as an ordinary violation of the pub lic peace, giving you every advantage and presumption that -the law affords to the citizen. - But when we conic to consider your punishment we must look upon it as a great outrage committed against the peuple of the'Commouwealth, through the . person of one of her representatives, wlu, is entitled to. the most full and ample pro tection of the law. Whatever counten ance may be given to acts of lawless vio lence and brute force in our great cittes. they arc looliedt'upon by the sober and judielous people of the interior with ab horrence, and generally receive from our courts and juries their merited punish ment. Your object was to disgrace your oppo nent, and probably force him to seek re dress of he for through means of a mortal combat. That same diegrace which you intendeiho inflict, the law will oblige you to receive; and we are in duty Wind to impose -upon you the ignOininy of impris onment. This we consider necessary. both on account of the cold-blooded ma lignity of your crime, and also to deter all wen from its repetition. The sentence of Ole Court is that you pay a flue of two hundred dollars to the Commonwealth, pay the costs of prosecu tion, give security by reeognizarices in the sum. of one thousand dollars with one suf ficient security in the like sum condition ed to be of good behaviour and keep the peace towards all the people of this Com monwealth, and especially towards Jo seph M. Church. for the period of one year; end you be imprisoned in the jail of Dauphin county for and during the term of three calender months, to be com puted from this day-, and that you are in the custody of the Sheriff to carry this sentence into effect: Gov.,Packer has since pardoned Pono vant---an act releasing him from both the physical and pecuniary punishment, and is regarded by all friends of law and order as extremely partisan.
