Accordiug tottbe promise made last week, WE lesuiue our exposure ot GENUAL PACK ER'S views and votes on the Maine Liquor Law which passed the Senate in 1852, as exhibited by the Journal of the Senate for J that. year. On the 3d March, 1552, Mr. Carothers, from the Committee on Vice and Immorali ty, reported Senate Bill, No. 419, eutitled ! act to pio/iibit the manufacture and j sale of intoxicating liquors .** See Senate Journal, Vol. 1. p. 363. March 18th, a motion was made to con sider the bill. This was objected to, and the orders of the day called. A motion was then made to suspend the orders to get at the consideration of the bill. On this motion the yeas and naya were called, when , the yeas were 20 and the nays 11, so the | motion was lost, —two-thirds being necessa-, ry to suspend the orders. On this motion PACKER voted yea. Sec Sen. Jour., Vol. I,p 480. March 22d, tie bill was taken up for consideration; and or. the question whether the first section should pass, the yea snd nays were called, aud the section passed by a vote of 19 yeas to 14 nays. PACKER be ins one of the yeas. See Sen. Jour., Vol 1, p. 515. The bill was further debated and consid ered during that day, and the day follow ing, as appears by the same volume of the Journal, at pages 515, 532, 633, &c., and the yeas and nays were frequently called on different sections of the bill, and in every instance the name oj Wa. F. PACKER is found recorded in Javor of the bill, and along with the names of the other warm friends of that prohibitory Liqnor law. March 315t—1852, the sections having been all agreed to, the bill came up on its final passage; and on the question, "shall *the bill pass/ The yeas and nays were by Mr. Crabb and Mr. PACKER, ••and were as follows: viz: "YEA*.

Bailey, Bockalew, Crabb, "Darlington, Frailey, Fulton, Jones, Kin der, Kuukel, McCaslin, Matthias, Muhleu "buig, Myers, Shiuier, and Walker, Speak "er—ls. "So the question was determined in the affirmative." See Senate Journal, of 1852 Vol. 1, p. 612. Such is GENERAL Wa. F. PACKER'S record in the Senate of 1852, and such are Lis votes upon the subjoct of the prohibi tory liquor law which passed the Senate that year, as proved by the Journal of the Senate, which is the only authorized record of proceedings. And yet his pirtizan friends, and the unpiincipled press which supports him for Governor, are mean enough and reckless enongh, to deny that ho is or ever was in favor of prohibition, and round ly abuse all who asssrt that he voted for prohibitory liquor laws. We say again, we bare these Senate Journals in our office, and can show them, day, and date, and page, to any man who wishes to see them, or who desires to know the whole truth on this subject. And we will here remark that not only did Gen!. Packer make speeches in the Senate in favor of the bill, and vote as bore proved, but according to the well remembered logic of the Bedford Gazette, he gave the casting vote on the final passage of this monstrous .Maine Liquor Lav:. For on looking at the final vote, it will be observed the bill passed by 17 yeas to 15 nays. Consequently if Genl. Packer Lad voted nay, the bill would have been defeat ed ou its final passage, by a tie vote, and evidently bis vote for the bill was what sa ved it. Hut the same recklessness and disregard of the truth which has heretofore denied that Packer was a proliibitioniet, may also deny that the bill which passed the Senate in 1852 was a prohibitory MaiDO Law. The bill was made up of fifteen sections, and is therefore too long for publication entire, but iu order that all doubts may be removed on this point, and all mouths stop ped, we will give our readers some extracts from the bill as specimens. As before sta ted, it was entitled, "An Act to prohibit the manufaexure and sate of intoxicating liquors.''' And to demonstrate that the bill itself corresponded with the title, wo pub lish the first three sections of it, as follows: SEC. 1. Be it enacted, fcc. Thnt no person shall be allowed at any time, to manufacture, or sell, by himself, his clerk, servant, or agent, directly or indirectly, any intoxicating liquors. whether the sauiu be spirituous, vinous, or malt, or a mixture of the same, or any of them, or any other liquor possessing . i.'iVdVff"*'"" '"SEC. H. the judges of the court of Quarter Sessions, and the County Commissioners, on the first Monday of July, annually, or as soon thereafter as may l>e convenient, may appoint suitable persons of well-known, honest, tern- I perate, aud sober habits, to buy, or manufac ture and sell at some convenient point in such of the Townships, boroughs, and cities, within the county, as they may deem expedient and proper, vines andother liquors, for sacramental, medicinal, mechanical and artistical purposes, AND FOR NO OTHER PURPOSES WIUTSOKVER.— Such person shall be appointed tor the term of one year, but may tie removed at any time at the pleasure of said judges and commissioners fur violating this act. SEC 3. That each person appointed to sell liquors as aforesaid, shall kwp an accurate ac count iu writing of ail the liquor bought or manufactured by him, specifying the quantity of each kind purchased or manufactured, the price of that purchased, the name of the person ! from whom it was purchased, and the date of the purchase, the quantity of each kind sold, and the date of the sale, its prise, the name, residence, and occupation of the person to whom it was sold, and tne purpose for which it was purchased by him; and he shall cause the person to whom the sale is, made, t sign the said specifica:iosi at the end thereof; he shall semi annually, if required, on a day and at * place to be appointed by said judges aud commis sioners, whereof public notice shall be given in one or more newspapers published in the coun ty, exhibit upon his oath or solemn affirmation the book or books in which said account and specification are kept, to 'lie said judges and commissioners, together with a balance sheet showing the quantity of ".ich kind of liquor bought and sold by him during the period which has elapse 1 since his last exhibit, and the aggregate cost and proceeds thereof; and if it ! snail appear to the said judges and coinmia j sinners that the profits of said business amount j to uiore than whst would be a fair and just i compensation for transacting the same, they shall fix the amount to be retained by him for such compensation, and shall require him to pay the surplus to the Treasurer of the county for the use of the Commonwealth. Sec. 4 Provides for the giving of a cer tificate of appointment to the person au thorized to sell, upon his giving bond with at least two sureties iu the penal sum of five hundred dollars, conditioned for bis faithful observance of the law, Ac. Sec. 5. Imposes fines of from thirty to two hundred dollars, & costs, for violations of the act together with sundry terms of imprisonment of not less than tico, nor more than six months. Sucli are the first three sections cf this beautiful liquor law in full, and the sub stance of the fourth and fifth; and we doubt not they are more thau sufficient to satisfy all that a mote ultra, radical, out and out prohibitory law was never passed in the State of Maine or anywhere else. It not only prohibits the under severe penal ties, of all sorts of liquors, and by every quantity great or small, exeept "for sacra mental, medicinal, mechanical, and artisti cal purposes," but it absolutely prohibits tue manufacture of auy aud all liquors, ex cept for the put poses just mentioned. If this be not prohibition with a vengeance, we know not what would be. A subsequent section gives the right of search and the right to sie ze and destroy the liquors kept contrary to the act; and in short, the law seems to contain in itself all the ultraismon this subject that were ever heard of, aud some others which strike us as entirely DCW nd original, especially that registry which is to be "signed at the end therof' by the BEDFORD INQUIRER AND CHRONICLE. man who purchases the liquor, slating Jor what purpose he gets it. We have now given onr readers a true and full explanatiou of Geul. Packers views, votes* and position as a prohibitorj liquor law man; and we will await with pleasure such explanations as his partisan friends may manufacture for this desperate emer gency. But for the great length of ourartiele we ; would finish it off with a few choice extracts j from the Bedford Gazette, showing what an iufamous and unconstitutional outrage it is, and what a narrow-souled, and diabolical fanaticism it exhibits, for any man to speak or vote for a prohibitory liquor law. We will at our leisure hunt these matters up al so, and in the mean time console ourselves with the reflection that for the proper use of a few choice extracts there is no doubt "a good time coming." THE LOCOFOCO TICKET. The Locofoco County Convention which met on Tuesday last, placed the following ticket in nomination: For Prothonotary, &c., Sam'l H- Tate, Sheriff, Win. S. Fluck, Treasurer, Samuel Davis; Commissioner, Cadwallader Evans; Poor Director, George Smouse, Auditor, J. W. Crissman. Wc are pleased at this nomination, for several reasons, one of which is, that it is the weakest that could have been nominated, and another is, that it is the ticket that was j put up in opposition to the Cessna Bowman, ! and Reed faction. Maj. Tate had to fight ! solitary and alone against them. Their j candidates were, Reed, for Prothonotary, I J. J. Cessna, for Sheriff, S. Defibaugh, for ' Treasurer, and John Amos for Poor Direc- ' tor, and they were all beaten. Turn about 1 is fair play, tbey got the Postmaster in j Bedford, and the rank and file of their ; party, beat them on the County ticket. Reed j would have been 100 stronger, however, j than Tate, and J.J. Cessua and S. Defi baugh the same amount of votes stronger, than Fluck or Davis. This ticket is cer tainly their weakest, and can be the most easily beaten by odds. RICH.— John Cessna & Co., published in the last Gazette, the "Kuow Nothing Oath," which they say was administered by 11. Nieodemus, Esq., the present Locofoco Commissioners Clerk! The object of Cessna & Co., in publishing this document at this j time, was expressly done for the purpose of j killing off Messrs. J. M. Vanhorn and Geo. j W. Gamp, for the nomination for Sheriff ! They like to get* '* cs 0f tLee gentle- : men, h - V ask for a agination I e office which will briug mem uetoiv , the people, the leaders kill them off in some underhand way or other.

SALE OF THE PUBLIC WORKS. —The scheme for preventing the sale ol the Pub lic Works finds but little favor with the people of the State, if we except those who are immediately located on them; and heuce the efforts of the leaders of democracy to rally the rank and file of the parly in open hostility to the proposed sale, meets with but ill success. The Pennsylvanian, to its credit be it spoken, has come out nobly for the sale, aud by its uunly and independent course on this subject,has forfeited the con fidence of such fuglemeu as Woodward Schuable, and other demagogues, who are anxious to retain the works for political purposes, at the expense of the State.— j lieuryS. Mott, one of the Canal Oomuiis j sioners, is prominent, in the movement for au injunction to restrain the sale. He bus petitioned in his private capaci'y,as a stock- I bolder in the Pennsylvania Railroad Cotu | pany against the sale, ou the ground that i "That the canals belonging to the State are ; j two hundred and eighty-three miles in i | length, requiring heavy expenditures for re pairs and expenses, and hum rv>t for many 1 years b*ni yielding income sufficient lo pay the cost of keeping them in navigable order. ! This same Mott, in bis capacity as Canal | Commissioner, reported to the last. Lcgis ! latnre that the canal portion of the public works cleared fil'ty-oue thousand cigLt hun dred and seventy-six dollars ad thirty i six cents. The injunction has been before j the Supreme Court at Philadelphia, for the last three days. The main points upon which those who have petitioned the Court rely, are, that the Legislature had no right to sell or give away the right of especially when, by such a course, the par ty to be benefitted by the act would be ex empt froui taxation forever, that such a precedent would be an exceedingly disas trous one, which other corporations would speedily follow up; and that the Pennsylva nia Railroad Company, the party most likely to become the purchaser of the Maiu Line, has no right to involve its stockholders in such an irretrievable debt, exceeding the whole amount of the capital stock, as this i purchase would render necessary. Tbe i Court will, of course determine the force of these allegations in the matter now be fore it. If the sale should be defeated, its defeat will be but temporary, and the party that has been instrumental in postponing the sale will be held accountable to the people for their aots.— Delaware Re.pub lican. TERRIBLE CALIMITF! i (turning of the Steamship Louisi ana in the Gulf of Mexico THIRTY-NINE LIVES LOST. An extra of the Galvaston News, of the 31st ult., furnishes full details of the sad catastrophe, from which we make the follow ing extracts. "We have to record one of the most dreadful calamities that has ever happened so this country. The Steamship Louisiana, Captain Sheppard, is now a total wreck, having beeu burnt some six or eight miles southeast of this oity, in the Gulf, about 1 o'clock, A. M. Our citizens were aroused by the unusual fire alarm, as the fire was in full sight. The first intelligence was the arrival of a boat ! from the uifortuuate steamer, about sun-rise ! bringing smie doze# passengers, our fellow- | citizen, M\ Grover, being among the uum- j ber. Mr. Greyer says that he bad a berth on the starbowd upper deok—that the first alarm waspersous askiug where the fire was, about oneo'clock; he stepped out of his r>oin aud discovered atnoke, but no fire passed rouid the stern to the larboard side, where he aw from twelve to twenty persons prepuriufto launch the quarter-boat.

We learn from the Utioa, New York, pa pers, of Tuesday, that about 4 o'clock las Satnrday afternoon, the town of Schuyler, i few miles east of Utiea, was visited by . powerful atmospheric agency, which cause* | one or more deaths and the destruction o ! considerable property. Dr. Day was in th< village of Schuyler Corners at the time o this calamitous visit upoti the town. Flint self and others shortly before the hcav; showers in this city, saw a large and witisl oloud rising in the heavens, in a southerly d;reotion. As it reached a point about j mile northeast of Schuyler Corners, a por tion of the cloud extended downwards lik< a monstrous arm or a mammoth trunk of ar elephant, until it Hoemed to establish aeon nectiou with the etv'th. The destructive influence of this phenom enon was first exerted upon a ham, twentj J by thirty feet in size, which was entirelj uo [ roofed, and burst asunder as if by an in i terual explosion. A youag man who was making baskets at the barn was found out side some time after in convulsion, whiel lasted for a considerable space. A wouiai and a girl in a southerly direction from th* barn saw this singular visitor approaching and attempted to flee to a house near bv but did not escape from the track. Thej were both taken off of their feet and throwr across a fence. T'ueir dresses were torr and their persons slightly bruised. Au el derly man, who was in a field beyond, also saw the cloud coming towards him, and had sufficient presence of mind to prostrate him self upon the ground. He was unharmed ; althniiirh an ar.nl* tree within ten fret of thf "" e,K ,a j was wretienea n.nu in* earth. j I'rom this place the cloud passed on for j a distance of a half mile before doing any | farther damage of consequence. Here it ; struck the Baptist parsonage house, occu pied by a laboring man named John War ten. Mr. Warren was also warned of the approach of the calamity with which he was visited. He heard the loud, buzzing noise with which it was attended, and witnessed i its desolating effect on the track it bad pur : sued. He bastilly gathered his wife and J six children and'attempted to get them info ! the cellar. When the honsc was attacked, | Mr. W. and five of the children had already gained this retreat, and Mrs. Warren and the other child were preparing to follow. The frame work of the house was whirled from its stone foundation, aud removed a distanes of three rode, where it struck right side up It was again lifted, however, and return ed towards the foundation it had left. This time it landed upon its side and was left a wreck. Mrs. Warren and the boy who, with her, was yet above the cellar wail. Mrs. W. lived only about an hour after, l'r. Day expressed the belief that she died from the eiectrical shock she had received- There were uo severe injuries upon her per" SOD, aud her death is not easily acoounted for in uny other way than that suggested by the Doctor. The boy WHS attacked by con vulsions and it was thought at one time that he might not survive. We learn, however that he was in promising condition yester day. One was nearly covered with portions of the cellar wall, but was speedily rescued from his unfortunate position. . Five rods distant from the parsonage ! iioure was a barn, which was totally deniol- I ished —chrushed down, as if a tremendous I weight had settled upon it. Hens and pigs 1 here-abouts were found dead bv those who | visited the spot. The whiilwind proceeded on its course, teariug up trees and prostrating fences, utr til it reached another barn, live rods dis'ant, which was twisted out of its place. It was whirled almost squarely about, and when left by the power that assailed it, only one corner stood upon the origiunl foundation- Pisces of it were blown twenty or thirty rod and some even sixty -ods from the spot. The next building attacked was a barn situated about ouo hundred rods beyoud. This building seemed lifted into the air and then blown to fragments, very few of which were to be fouud. Where they wont to is a mystery to those who have visited the locality. This was the last building at tacked by the whirlwind, which, however,! continued for souie little distance bevond, i as i indicated by the prostration of trees j and fences. One tree was blown adistanee of one hunbred rods ftotu the spot where it had grown. The great body of the cloud whiob passed over the track of destruction seemed to be less than half a mile above tbe earth. The arm of it which descended to the earth,seem ed to maintain it* connection f 6r a space of five minutes. Daring this time it moved in threo minutes. The extent of tbe waste laid i a mile and a halt or two miles. The width of the track was fifteen rods or thereabouts. The progress of th whirlwind was attended by a loud roaring, produced by its ferocious internal tempest. But, outside of the trace of the whiilwind, there was no wind of un usual violence. In ['ties, about half a hour after, there was a heavy thuuder storm. At iscLuyler, hail fell instead of rain. A short time after the whirlwind had passed, mes sengers came to Schuyler Corners for med ical aid. T)r. Itay, of this city r and a res ident physician responded to the call and attended the woman who died from the ef fects of the injuries received. To day we have to report the death of Hon. Andrew P. Butler, United States Senator from South Carolina, which look place on Monday evening, lie will Jong be remembered as one of the iuost impetuous and zealous advocates of the extreme Southern school of politicians.

Her alarm was so great that she was thrown into convulsions, from the effects of which she died on the same night. The Soutbside{ Va.)

GUTTER LCCOFOCOB CAGEB.—Throe of the gutter politicians in Chicago, who held office under the late lioeofooo dvnasfy of that city, have got part of their deserts by being sent to prison six months each, and fined SIOO each tor receiving money from offenders in settlement of crimes, and for exacting money from dissolute women unde r { threats of prosecution. The three are— j Pendergast, late a Police Justice, and j O'Malley and Ford, late Constables. The friends of Vice President Breck inridge are getting dissatisfied.—They think he should hare a hand in the distribution of the spoils. The New Orleans Delta com ; plains that the Vice President is "abso'ute j !y without the power to obtain for a fricno. | an office in any deparment of government j worth a hundred dollars per month." This j is a hard case, very cspe-ialiy if Mr. Brcck j iuride has been making promise to his'friends j that he finds himself unable to fulfill _O. I S. Journrl.
