The Lord gave positive law to his peO-
pie. that il any Of their brethren were waved
poor and became servants, their eyes were
not to be evil towards their poor brethren;
hut thew were commanded to bless them
literally from the cOrn-AOor. and from the
,Uine press" Did the Lord intend that these
poor servants should be poisoned or did he
intend that they should be beguiled into in
temperance with this alcoholic drink! Ac-
cording to the fact we have just admitted, this
fermented liquor was not quite as wholesome
as brandy and water, which some temperate
people, in our day, fear to give their poor SER
wants. David treated his men, after victO.
~, with fagon OfaOine i; and Samuel's mo-
ther gave bottle of it to her son. We hard
ly think that either of them intended to pois-
on their friends with it, or beguile them into
intemperance although it appears, by the
word Of God, that the excessive use of it will
have the last effect.
The Lord promised his people that their
"barns should be filed with plenty, and their
presses burst out with ne,O tCine." Did he
| mean to warn them Of sickness and promise
them medicine? Or did Jehovah intend to
beguile his people in drunkenness, and there
by destroy both their bodies and souls ! We
are commanded to bless God for the 'tOine
that makes glad the heart Of man." But, say
some, let us destroy it; it is curse. not a
| hlessing-it is poison, and destructive of both
| soul and body; for without alcohol it will not
make the heart glad. So mach do men, in
this wonderful age Of light, excel their Crea-
tor in wisdom and benevolence THAT is, 10
| their own estimation.

Something New THE editor of the Phil
adeIphia Saturday Evening Post, of the 10th
inst. says: " We have now outstanding in diff.
ferent parts of the United States, debts for
newspaper subscriptions, now discontinued on
account Of delinquency. to the amount of
$4,000, which we would gladly sell at very
great reduction. We propose to arrange these
denquents into States and Counties, and Of
| fer the debts for sale to Postmasters, Justices
Of the Peace, or to other responsible persons.
We shall solicit bids to be forwarded, and the
highest bidder shall have the debts, properly
attested, so as to render them collectable. 1t
is hard case for the publisher, whose bust
ness should afford an ample income, to re-
ceive scarcely sufficient to pay his current ex-
penses. We shall begin soon by publishing
delnqucnts 10 single county, and wait for
proposals."
Il fine chance for The Ladies.-Heretofore
with the single exception, we believe, of the
Princess Daskkoff, Doctorates have been only
conferred upon males, but females are now
about to participate in these learned distinc-
tons. The Legislature Of Indiana has char
tered new College, called 1.-THE Christian |
College" at New Albany, alike open to males
and females, with power to confer degrees
In the female department they have establish |
ed the degrees of Doctress Of Natural Science.
of English Literature, Bellies Lettres, the Fine
Arts, and of Arts and Sciences-so that in
few years Doctresses will be made as rapidly !
as our medical schools make Doctors of Med |
icine. Our young men had better be on the
look out or they will be completely overshad
owed by the learned Doctresses who will issue
from this College.-Ne,c-Ha Haven Pallad.
The Washington Globe contains letter
from Columbia, S. C. under date Of the 10th |
inst. Of which the following is an extract:
r. Barnwell Smith, (of famous disunion |
memory, Of Collector District, made violent !
Disunion speech, declaring that he had no !
love for the Union," that he detested the
name. and "that he now held in adherence
the Star-Spanged Banner" He also said,
could he have his way, he would have our
State entirely independent of the General
Go, eminent. He said, or rather asked, how
any Nulifer could put his hand on his heart
and say, he was ardently attached to the I'M
ion Of the States" He said it was false and
untrue. and he would not vote for any report
that contained such language. He said many
such things, evncing the most invincible ha-
tired to the Union; and to the great confusion,
evidently, of Calhoun, (who was presently
Hayne and Hamilton. When he concluded,
worthy old veteran Of the Revolution, Col
Warren, who lost leg in that glorious war,
though violent nulIi6er, yet at heart, good
man, upon his clutches stepped out in front
Of the Presidents Chair and said, " Mr.. Pre-.
sident, the gentleman who has just taken his
seat, has emphatically asked, "How can we
put our hands to our hearts and say we are
ardently attached to the Union 7" and that
