The Trc6c IN ARDENT Spirit violates The
first principles of Political Economy.-It
diminishes the productive labor of the
Nation. 1t is computed that about one
in ten Of the adult male population of our
country, is disabled by the use of Ardent
Spirit, from performing the usual labor of
a man. His more disability, if it cost
nothing to support him, would require
one-tenth more labor to be performed by
the residue, and when we add the ex-
pense Of support to the disabled one, we
shall increase the burden upon industri-
GUS sobriety nearly as much more; for
he that does not contribute his share to
the common supply is a pensioner upon
the bounty Of his fellow men.
The capital, materials and labor con-
verted into ardent spirit, becomes To-
tai Loss TO the World, and the commu-
nifty is taxed to make up the loss
Though the producer obtains his ex-
change, the manufacturer his reward,
and the retailer his profit, the consumer
loses the whole. Isit not so9 do the avails
of his purchase feed, or clothe, or in
struct, or improve, or in any way bene-
fit him or his? Place the mind on this
point with all the intenseness Of minute
discovery, and point me to the benef fit
which the consumer has derived from his
purchase; If some benefit is not derived
and Cannot be derived, then it must be
a total loss, inv diving all the capital, la
Dor and profit which the psrchase cost
1t is loss to the world, and doubly so to
the consumer, for with this loss his ply
sical and mental powers are impaired,
the very capital which he had invested
for future use. Had the devouring ele-
ment consumed the purchase, and spar.
ed the purchaser, his loss would have
been comparatively small. When la.
Dor and the resources Of the country, are
applied in advancing the great object.
for which man was created and civil anc
political communities formed, to mature
and elevate and purify the mind of mar
and perfect all his powers, they become

fixed in the minds Of men, the create
will be the demand upon these invest
ments, for carrying on the great purpo
ses Of improving the world, till man ar

he is susceptible, in his present state o
existence.
The argument for the manufacture ant
sale Of ardent spirit derived from thu
fact that these employments afford occu

AMERICAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY.

The late Annual Meeting of this Society at

tered into resolution to ask from the benevo-
lent friends of the great object which they have

most earnestly and respectfully call upon the
the friends of this institution, throughout the

other liberal philanthropists who have followed
his example, in raising the proposed amount
within the time mentioned; as this addition to
their funds is necessary to enable the society to
meet its engagements, and to carry on its ope-
rations with the desired effect.
subscriptions will be received by J. GALES,
Sen, Treasurer of the Society, or by
r. r. GURLEY, Secretary.

A DAY OF HUMILIATION.

Six years ago the people OF these United
States were in the full enjoyment or liberty,
peace and prosperity. Our unequalled Constr
tuition and all our free Institutions were in sue
cessful operation The land was smiling with
plenty and the inhabitants thereof were pros
porous and happy.
In the endowment Of so many blessings, the de-
mon Of discord scattered his fire-brands among
us; malign influence was too successfully eX-
erled, and the seeds Of discomfort were soWn
in every portion of the land
DemagOgues and political empires poisoned
the public mind and, instead of gratitude to the
Divine Bestower of all our national blessings,
murmurings and complaints were wlckedly eX-
cited and the proflgate and the abandoned re-
yelled in the success of their unhalloWed de-
signs.
Advantage was taken of the excitement, and,
in an eUiL hour,
ANDREW JACKSON
was presented to a deluded people, as the OBJECT
of their future idolatry!
Ingratitude to Jehovah was the sin OF the jews
and who does not recognise in the "curse" that
has fallen upon this nation just and retrbutlve
Providence for the ingratitude of this people?
The alteration due to the Supreme Being alone
has been given to poor mortal man, proaney
and blasphemously proclaimed to be " HE
Rock OF AGEs!:
National sins, like these, call loudly for Ma
TIoNAL HUMILIATION; and the ruin and misery
which they have universally produced, natural
ly dispose us to acknowledge and confess our
sins and to seek for pardon and forgiveness.
If then it berght and proper that DAY OF
HUMILIATION be set part, what other time would
be SO o appropriate, as the birthday of the FA,
Their of his country. A fine opportunity would
be afforded to every patriotic clergyman in the
land to contrast the PUBLIC CAREER of the first
with the last President of these United States;
and to point out the consequences that have
flowed from it.
Suitable discourses on that day would kindle
up spirit of patriotism throughout the nation,
which might redeem us from the degradation
into which we are fast sinking.
Let it then be recommended to the Govern
ors of all the States throughout the Union, and
particularly to the Governor Of this fallen State
to appoint the tpenty-second day OF this month
as DAY CT HUMILIATION LAICUS.

The Official paper Of yesterday publishes tie
following and two other similar letters, which
are said to have been addressed to the President
and a member ofhis family, as "specimens OF
the means that are resorted to by the friends OF
the Bank to force a restoration Of the DepO
stes;"
TO General ANDREW Jackson, President Of tie
United States Of america:
am very sorry to inform you that if the De
posites are not replaced and the Bank OF the
United States is not re-chartered by the 4th OF
March next, you will be dead man by the 18th
day of March, 1884. Now, my Dear Sir, hope
you will act 1oisety and recharter the said Bank;
for ifyou do not the United States will lose one
of her best Presidents and Generals that has
been known in america. There has been aprl-
vate meeting held, and the plan is all laid out for
doing the aforementioned. | am Slgner OF

we may safely say, that no honest and intelIigen,

To THE PUBLIC
The undersigned, at the request of Messrs
S. & NJ. Allen, have examined sundry state,
ments and accounts, as verified by their nrin
cipalBook- keeper showing the actual condition
of all their branches as well as of their Nau
York and Philadelphia establishments-anG
have received personally from the Messrs. AL
lens, all requisite Xplanations-and placing en-
tire reliance upon said statements, accounts and
explanations, the undersigned have great nIea-
sure in thus declaring their conviction that 8C
ter deductions much greater than in ordinary
times would be deemed needful, and after Gui
allowances for all losses upon Pennsylvania and
other stocks, the nett available assets exceed the
total liabilities of the concerns Of Messrs. S. &
M. Allen, by sum of more than FIVE Hun.
DRIED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
The undersigned therefore cheerfully add
their opinion, that this result fnlly indicates the
expediency and safety Of granting such accom-
mediation and extension in time, as may De
claimed by Messrs. S. & Nj. Allen-who under
the pressure of premature reports of their fail
ure, as well as from the eXigency of the times
adopted their recent course, as it would appear
at the sacrifice of their personal feelings but
with strict regard to their integrity, and with
scrupulous consideration for the security ofther
creditors.

Good Joke When our Tammany Delegation
landed at Philadelphia, on their way to Wash
ington they determined to stop at one of the
principal hotels A passenger, knowing the
fact, ran up in advance, and informed the land
lord, who, supposing his guests must be distin-
guished characters, ordered suite of his best
rooms made ready. On the passengers return,
short time afterwards the host informed him
that the Delegates had not arrived; but on re-
ferring to the books it appeared that their
names were down, but from their appearance,
the head waiter, supposing them not to be gen
temen, put them in the garnet.
