VIOLATION OF THE LAW.

Mr.. Editor-Ala Battalion muster near
Greenwood. Ahbeville District, on Sallr-
day The I4lh ull. the law in relation to re.
failing ardent spirits was violated in the
following manner:-Bottles of wine were
disposed of at IS cents piece; the purcha-
ser would then exchange bottle of wine
FOR bottle filled with whiskey or brandy,
and by this arrangement it was not neces-
sarv for the seller to have but few bottles
of wine. Out of rnursBattalions in Abbe-
vile, ardent spirits were sold at three OF
the late Battalion musters, while peace,
harmony and good order prevailed only
at The one where no spirits were drank.

MOONLIGHT MUSINGS.

MOONLl jill l MOSl4NNS.
'Tis sweet at silent hour to gaze,
When all around is wrapt in Sleep
.Upon the moons bright, beaucous rays,
And hear the watch-dogs vigls keep.
IT'S then that man escapes from care,
And busy scenes of day are o'er,
AS on the gentle zephyrs bear,
The distant sounds Of waters roar.
No cloud is spread DER the queen,
To dim her gentle light;
But natureyall alive is seen,
And free from earthly blight.
'Tis now the muse'sharp may ring
OF nature calm and cleaE, 81
AS Ger the enraptured heart they fling
Their silYery cords so fair.
Oh could there eysrbe through life,
A calm always Ike this,
Earth freed from all sstrogbl'd strife
In every bosom peace. s x w. }.

A SHORT PATENT SERMON.

h q unrds of my text are as follows.


The words of my text are as follows.
There's beauty on the earth,
There's beauty in the air,
There's beauty in the skies,
There's beauty every where,
NV hearers-on which soever side we
turn our eyes we behold beauty adorned
and unadorned, animate and inanimale;
beauty in its original simplicity, and bran-
ty beautiied by ingenuity, skill and arts
Even ugliness itself bears the impress OF
bcauty-and there is nothing which ap-
pears uncoulh or horrid al first sight, but
NAV develope something worthy ofadmi-
ration upon longer and closer inspection.
That beautiful specimen of ugliness,: the
toad, has fine figure, cunning eye and a
knowing look, despite the assertion of
Shakespeare and the lastidous taste of po-
cts in general. In fact, my friends. there
is but little difference. as far as real beauty
is concerned, between worm and wo-
man, or man and monkey. The low
worm shining upon its Iowly, grassy couch
in the dull dusk Of the evening looks hand
some- to me than beautiful woman gilt
terng in the dark vale of vice: and de-
cent looking monkey is more an object OF
admiration than man without morals or
modrsty. II matters not how fair and

stains upon the surflce as can neither be

Though it may, at first sight, appear as
barren, sterile and gloomy as goose pas

for the beauties that do actually exist, YOU
will find them rise up before you like a
regiment of grasshoppers from the ground,
when disturbed by the footsteps of either

THE BOUNDARY.

We learn that the commissioners for xporing and
surveying the North East boundary held meeting
in this city last week. Their operations during the
past season have consisted in accurate demarcaton
of the meridian line, from the place near Houlton, at
which the operations of Major Graham were suspend
ed last winter in survey of the line claimed by
Messrs. Featherstonhaugh and Nudge en- the part of
Great Britain and in an accurate examination of the
height of land from the Kennebec road to the ermina
ton of the exploring mef dian line We regret to
learn that, owing to unforeseen difficulties upon the
meridian line and the fact that the boundary claimed
by the two nations is much longer than could have
of the disputed territory has not been completed The
lines undertaken by Messrs. Renwick and Tacolt
estimated by the best auth rites extant at four
hundred and twenty miles, We understand that their
joint surveys already amount TO six hundred miles
upon the line of highlands in addition the surveys
necessary TO connect their work with known geo
graphical points. In spite of their having performed
much more than had been anticipated, parts of the
boundaries claimed by both governments had not been
reached at the time when all farther operations were
inter Iupted by the setting in of winter.
Will therefore be matter of serious consideration
with the Administration, and Congress, when the
reports of their proceedings shall have been handed
in, whether the facts obtained by the commission are
tam in the eye of foreign nations whether the de-
marcaton of the meridian line must be completed and
the gaps in the line of highlands filled up 10y the work
of another season.
We regret to learn that the prese ntation of the
materials necessary fo the decision of this question
may be delayed for the want Of the necessary funds
in consequence of the appropriation having been
hausted by the increased difficulties and ex ent of sur
veys of which we have spoken.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

We lay before our readers, in this number, the
Message of the President On a careful examination
of it, we find much to praise, and nothing to condemn
The remarks, in regard to the complicated questions
in which are at issue with Great Britain, are in
the proper tone and spirit Nothing is said concern
ing the Oregon boundary; but the recommendation
of chain of military posts from Council Bluffs to the
Pacific, seems to aim directly at its settlement We
hope to see this recommendation speedily acted upon.
The plan proposed by Mr.. Tyler to secure and dis
burse the public revenue, and to afford us a sound
national currency, every where equal to gold and sill
yer, we inclined to favor Especially, since if
adopted and found inadequate to the wants of the
try, il may be altered and amended at any time by
Congress. This plan will furnish perfect currency
in three modes LIST, by issuing Treasury notes. in
stead of gold and silver, to such creditors of the Go
vernment as may desire them Cd, by issuing Certl-
Gates of Depose to individual depositors of specie
3D. by purchasing and selling Inland Bills of Exchange
The paper put in circulation from these three sources
would be equal to specie in every part of coun-
try and the excessive difficulties under which we
have hitherto laboured, would be overcome by adopt
ing the proposed plan The remarks of the Presi-
dent concerning the deprecated paper in crcu-
lation, are proper and correct The Banks must re-
sumo, go into liquidation. The people of this
State have paid indirectly to banks and brokers,
double the amount of their taxes, the last year, on
account of this irredeemable paper. Every one who
reflects upon this assertion, will perceive its truth.
On the whole, we believe the Message will reflect
honor on Mr. Tyler; and that the wise men of both
parties will approve of it, and endeavor to carry its
suggestions into effect.
