LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

M. DIsraeli, in his late Novel. "IIenri-
eta Temple" has the following passage
on this subject:
There is no love but love nt first sight.
This is the lrnnscendant and surprising off

fhat the Temperance Society does require
repentance in It's most substantial form
and think i, easy TO prove that it requires
faith. The society declares The use of ar.
dent spirit n sin this being the fact in or
der to repent Of II, it mus, be believed to
be sin, If believed to be sin then, thus
far it requires faith: and if rcpcn'cd OF by
total abstinence. the repentance will not
secure forgiveness Of that sin that is past
therefore by the Temperance Society
he soul is shut 40 unto the faith. IL so,
should it succeed. how could it be said to
be triumph Of inidelny; But an inge-
Nous mind would never bring an objection
against any system broader than the sys-
ten itself The Temperance Society has
nowhere attempted TO teach the whole
theology. 1t confines itself TO the one
vice of lucmperance. 1t adopts the sem
tlmcn' of James, Let him know that he

ment.
Again, he fallacy Of your argument will
be seen at once if we consider that in,em
pcrance is a vice of habit alone, and not
vice of the heart. There is no person by
nature drunkard. In order to become
druukard there must be series Of trains
ing, longer or shorter. And after The hab.
It is formed. there can be no drunkenness
without previous action. All that is ne
cessary to reform the vice, is to destroy
the habit, by ceasing to act in favor OF the
habit. What is necessary to charge Il
course of action, is to brace up the mind
bv conviction, aud fear on the one hand,
aud hope and confidence on the other
gle purpose of reforming the drunkard, it
could accomplish it no other way than that
pursued by the Temperance Society. Did
Drunkenness originate from the heart The
case would be altered. For then there
must be sole dependence upon the Spirit
and grace OF God: hut. az it Is, the appll-
cation must be to the conduct. As the
Temperance Society does not pretend to
cover the whole gronnd Of gospel truth,
bur confines ltself to one integral part Of
christian virtue. aud acts upon the only
| principle by which the gospel could act IN
reference to this virtue, it cannot he said
wlth the leas, shadow Of truth, that the
fullest success of the Temperance cause
wonld be a triumph OF in6deluy. | have

PROSPECTUS OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN.

Under the auspices Of the Native American AS
socation Of the United Sates," the subscriber pro-
poses to publish paper with the above title in this
CITY,
The object of this paper will be the repeal Of the
Naturalization Law, the re-esablishment of the de-
cning character Of the Native American and to assert
those rights guaranteed to by the charter Of the
Revolution and secured by the brilliant victories of
the late war
In stating the objects Of this publications we imply
the existence of party adverse to those interests
establhed and the history Of latter days, warrants
the belief that such party is in existence, but it is
one which we must meet and combat the tresh
hold Of our country The political revolution which
we witness in England, and which is extending itself
gradually but surely the continent of Europe. is
indicative fthe restless and daring spirit of the age
A contest between the arstocratic and democratic
principles, in which the cumbling but still gigantic
power of hereditary right is vanly opposing itself to
the right Of the people, to be heard in the Legislative
Councils, in proportion to their numbers out of these
two great parties, the Wings and Conservatives oT
Tories, has sprung another powerful body, called
Radicals, equally obnoxious both Of the two chief
contending parties. The conservatives fear it with
shudjering and overwhelming fear; and the wings
who go for liberal, but destructive reform, dread
this third estate in the realm, because it is composed
Of the violent elements of society, and disposed to
10 the lengths of revolution civil war; conse-
quonty il is the object with both wings and tories, to
rid the country Of this dangerous intermediate party,
and no other means is offered than to ship them
