1t requires but little penetration, 10 learn
that mankind are prone to initiate, and
that imitation is as common as originality
is scarce. There is not one in hundred
who, on being questioned in regard to
many of their practices, can give any reas-
on for their doing thus and so, except thai
they have seen others do the same
"Whv! everybody does so; il. is com
mon practice; it is fashionable, and 1t must
be rig ht." This is the case not only Ia
regard TO common, every day practices,
but it extends into the natural and ?hlo-
sophie world. Many believe the great
truths of natural science, not because they
have investigated, and traced out in their
own minds the reasons which lie at their
foundation, but because they have heard
others say so, ard they have never taken
the trouble to prove or disprove them
And thus it is, from the abstruse sciences,
down to common, every day practices
The answer is, others believe them, and
others practise them. This aptness for
imitation leads us to adopt the opinions
aud practices of others, without lnqnrne
whether it is for our interest, health or
happiness; whether ii is right or wrong !;
Just or unjust. But this is not to crafty
imitation alone. The love Of appreciation
is generally the moving principle 70
get the applause of the world is usually
the OBJECT which one has in view. The
ty!anr, Fashion, has had the possession OF
the minds of the majorty Of mankind for
SO long a time, that those who have not
the means of living up TO the requirements
of the monster, are looked upon with dis
dain, and considered as the unfavorcG of
earth; while those who have the means
requisite, and will not bow down, but per.
ssl in acting according TO their own views
of propriety, are considered as reprobates
ia the highest degree, and are charged as
being aspiring and wishing to introduce
a new order of things. Let ME be ex-
cnsed from any practice, until have some
other reason for so doing, than the mere
dic,a of the fashionable world A pow
erfu reason for not sanctoning whatever
is practiced BY the mass Of mankind IS,
there is no stability to fashion it is ever
ch,nging Que thing this year-anolher
next. But we may rest assured, that right
and wrong never change and therefore,
leaving whatever we know TO be wrong,
let US study TO know wha: is right aud
do it.

The steam ship Arcadia, Capt.

The cotton market still continued
to improve. In the week ending the

Quotations were nominally the same,
but the leaning was in favor of hold
ers. The week ending the 18th the
sales were 1860 bales, of which
$3.50 were American. Holders
met the demand readily, and there
was but little alteration in the rates.
In some partial instances however,
an advance of 1-S was released
From the 18th to the 18th about 49,

rOT lnc FOlCe VI FICOuoH'
Mr.. Brown,-A committee appointed by the
Brandon Total Abstinence Society, for that pur-
pose, have prepared memorial to the Legsla-
ture of Vermont for the repeaof all laws licens-
ing the sale of intoxicating drinks which is now
in circulation for signatures. Thinking that the
friends of temperance IN other towns might be
stimulated to ago and do likewise" and for the
want of better form of petition might adopt the
same, we would solicit its insertion in the Voice.
For Committee, ID. N. HIGGINS.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives Of
the State Of Verm0nt
Your memoriasts freemen of the Town of
Brandon respectfully represent; that in our opin-
ion the existing laws of this State licensing the
sale of intoxicating liquor presents an insurmount-
able obstacle to the further extension and final
triumph of the Temperance Reformation
These laws license the commission of sin, and
are, therefore, contrary 10 the law of God. And
we are clearly of opinion that no question of
mere expediency should ever be permitted to in
terfere 10 sanction, palliae or excuse the prac-
tise of an admitted wrong.
The retailer of this deadly poison, whom no
motive but self interest governs, should never be
suffered to turn aside and render poweress the eff
forts of moral suasion, by holding up in justihca
ton before his customers and the world, the
shield and protection which the law extends to
his horrid practice.
We further represent that the license laws
operate as practical monopoly throughout the
Stale; enabling the feao to fill the country with
paupers and the prisons with criminals; to cre-
ate and hasten the progress of disease, wretched-
ness, and death and all h, at the expense of
the many. A few patry dollars in the pocket
of the licensed retailer is made by law, to over
balance all the admitted and aggravated evils Of
intemperance.
1t is the right, therefore, of the people who |
are, in free State, the source of all municipal {
law; of people whose money flows like water
for the support of paupers, and expenses caused
by crime and breaches of the peace produced by .
the legazed traffic in alcohol; we say it is the !
RICH: and duty of such people to demand of
their Igislature the entire repeal of every law !
authorisng the practice or existence of this enor-
nous sin.
Your memoralists, therefore, pray for the re-
peal of all laws licensing the sale of intoxicating
liquor as beverage, and as in duty bound will
ever Dray.

gency, from the Malabar and from
the vessel in the harbor. Such was
the slate OF the ship, when the off.
GERS and crew left her, that they
saved nothing but what they had on
Captain Newton did not quit the ship
until all had left her, about quarter
past eleven o'clock. We are happy
to add that the officers and crew
are believed to be all saved.
His excellency the American Min
lister, after securing his papers of
importance, returned to the ship and
zealously united his exe1tions to
those Of her officers.
The line wall was crowded until
a very late hour with spectators,
anxiously watching the fate of the
noble ship. The sight was awfully
grand until the masts at length fell
overheard, the tracery of the spars
and shrouds standing out in bright
relief against the dark sky was beau
tiful. The whole rock was as light
as day; and probably such a sight
has not been witnessed in the bay
since the conhagration of the float
ing batteries in the memorable siege.
We trust it will not be considered
presumptuous to refer to the discl-
pline on board this Inflated vessel !;
but as persons employed along side
during the progress of the calamity,
and on whose veracity, we can place
the utmost reliance, have been de-
sirous of bearing undeniable testi-
mony on this most important sub
ject, we beg to inform our readers
that they describe the disci pine and
order on board as most admirable !;
the several orders were given and
obeyed as if the vessel had been in
perfect safety, and nothing had oc-
Cured TO excite alarm or contusion.-

FROM HAVANA. BY the Hellespont,
Capt Ellis, papers from Havana to the
7th ult. have been received here. The
yellow fever has very much abated
There was violent hurricane, 18th
ult,, on part of the coast OF Cuba, ex-
tending from Llmonar in the jurisdiction
of the Matanzas, to the districts Of Sol
edad de Bemba, Rogue, Guamutas, and
Cimmerones. The loss of property, prin-
cipally on shore, is estimated at upwards
of 100000.
Capt. Ellis states that there was a
great fire at Kingston, Jam on the Goth
of August, laying one tenth of the city
in ruins. The steamer brought the news
on the 9Th of September. Information
had been received by pilot boat from
Spain, that the Regent had embarked on
board of British man of war for Lon
don, but had not been made public at
Havana. - ~ Y. American.
