This paper we lay before our readers to day w.
So far we have noticed an expression of opinion
respecting the message by the Wing Press, it is
generally favorable AS a specimen Of the remarks
of the Press, we give the following from the Bos
ton Atlas
awe take great pleasure in expressing our salts
faction, generally, with the views announced by
the President, in this document. Its aud TEN
per are kind and concilatory, throughout Ii gives
very plain and ineligible exposition of the ma
tonal affairs-and, some of it's topics, we are
very agreeably disappointed with the which
is taken. The doctrines and the opinions promul.
gated, are thorough going Wing. There is no, an
inch of ground in it, for any Locofoco to stand up
on.
Tho institution proposed for the management OF
the finances and the currency of the country, will
no meet the views ofthose who are DESTROYS TO
see strong and efficient Bank established, and
who believe that The only means by which the
disordered monetary system OF our country can be
restored to a sound and healthy state. We de
cidedly Of opinion, however, that such insti,u
ton proposed in the Message would be ad
van,ugeous to the country-would tend TO render
the currency much better Than it is at present
and would disconnecI the management of the mon
ey Of the Government from The Executive nHu
ence.
There is one point Of Wing policy upon which
tho President has committed hmself-and that is,
the projection of our domestic manufactures and
domestic labor by discriminating duties i'm
ports. lie has abandoned, if indeed he ever fav
ored, the ultra Southern doctrines upon this sub
Iceland we consider him as now pledged, so far
Mt least as the necessity of the country may re
quire its Government to go for purposes Of reven

FAIRBANKS IMPROVED
Cooking STOVE

NKTE would again call the attention of the pub
w lie TO the above Cooking Stove, which Tor
convenience, economy and durability is unrivaed.
The oven, which is the most important part Of
stove, is almost universally acknowledged to be
the best in use. The length and size of the fire
place will admit OF large and long wood, requiring
less labor in preparing the wood, ar.d rendering il
more suitable for warming house The furnace
in the hearth renders it very convenient for sum-
mer use. The construction is such that none Of
the plates liable to burn out and il is undoubt-
eddy twice as durable any other stove in use -
These points of superiority should be remembered
by those who design to purchase stoves this win.

THE LICENSE QUESTION.

The Editor of the Chronicle SAYS he
bases his "third vieao" of this question on
the same principle with the Mosaic law
which suffered divorce. On the same ground
he could find equal justification for wars of
aggression and determination. To be con-
sistent, then, he ought 10 justify and to have
advocated the removal and extirpation of
the Indians. This was just as much a
"restTictiue" measure as the other. Public
opinion would not prohibit the outrage,
therefore it was proper and right to restrain
it by licensing il! .. ~.
But the Editor Of the Chronicle must
allow me to remind him that we live under
another dispensation, whose Author pro-
nounced divorce to be adulery,an war to be
murder. There is nothing in the letter or
spirit of his instructions that will warrant
granting license for either of these sins, or
any other. Those who advocate licensing
the sin of selling poison, array themselves
on the side of the Pope against Martin Lu-
Their. Such should doff the name Of Prot
estants. *~

Unnatural and Unchristian.

In my recent tour, within the bounds of
the Lake George Association, was told of
man who sells poisonous drinks to his
neighbors fol money. This man had an
uncle, few years since, who sold and
drank rum. After failing repeatedly in bust
ness, he undertook to remove his family
some distance to his wife's relatives. His
family were put on board public conveyance
and forwarded, he being left to follow
The family reached their destination; but
the man did not arrive, and he was not
heard of by his family until they heard of
his death in poor house to which place he
had found way in his Drunkenness! This
nephew of his, of whom commenced speak
ing at the beginning of this paragraph, and
who is now selling rum, has also had one
brother die of Drunkenness, in most loath-
some and wretched condition-but what is
more, he has another brother who is now
constantly buying liquor of him and getting
drunk! But what is more yet, this man
who is committing this outrage upon Chris
tianity and nature holds standing in the
Baptist Church!

EVERY SUBSCRIBER AN AGENT.
500 ne1D subscribers aD0ntedt

| propose TO make every subscriber for
the Telegraph an agent to procure new
subscribers, and to offer liberal inducements
to effort. My proposal is this: Those who
will obtain new, paying subscribers, shall
be entitled to twenty-five per cent. e.
fifty cents for each subscriber Obtained
Communications and remittances can be
made through Post Masters. Agents will
inform subscribers in regard TO the terms
two dollars payable any time within four
months.
It will be an easy thing for the friends of
the Telegraph to procure FIVE hundred or
even one thousand new subscribers, during
the eight remaining weeks of the present
volume. Will they do it, for the liberal
pay here offered2
IL Why will not females take hold of
this work2 The Telegraph has been very
much prescribed on account of its advocacy
of women's rights. Will the good sisters

BE coNsIsTENT.

Those who oppose Christianity are at
once set down on the side of infidelity.-
Christians place them there, and in6dels
hold them there, with the utmost propriety.
All assent, on all hands, to the correctness
of this view.
So, too, those who oppose the cause Of
Temperance are with equal propriety set
down on the side of drinking. Their influ-
ence goes that way. The temperate reckon
il so-drinkers reckon it so-all reckon it SO.
Where then shall those be placed who
oppose AntiSlavery Where, but on the
side of slavery2 The Shareholders view
them 10 be on their side. Common sense
and consistency place them there.
Auti-Slavery is the remedy for slavery,
just as Christianity is the remedy for inf
deity, and Temperance the remedy for
drinking.
Not only all manner of direct hostility to
these enterprises, but any and every man
ner Of substitute for them, as legitimate
remedies for the evils they are designed and
calculated to exterminate, tends to the sup
port and continuance of the evils,-because,
to say the least, attention is thereby turned
away from what it ought to be directed to,
and thus the mischief is strengthened while
opposition to it is weakened. :...
Let, therefore, those who ffatter them
selves, and labor 10 convince others, that
they are opposed to this or that sin, while
they are more opposed 10 all the legitimate
remedies for the same, look to it, and ascer-
tain well the ground wherein they stand
PeradVenture neglect of attention to these
things mayyet give Them occasion for bitter
regret.
