Mr.. ADAMS: The people of Bowling
Green, and vicinity, have manifested 4
ccmmendable zeal in their endeavors &c
suppress the use of intoxicating liquors
and their train OF attendant evils, and
have succeeded to a very encouraging
extent; but the work is not yet com
plete-moral suasion may rescue many
more-thcrefore | would congratulate
the Westinghouse in their recent sue
cess in getting some valuable citizens TO
sign the pledge, who, 10 say the least,
were in DANCE of being injured by the
use Of intoxicating drinks; and | would
encourage them to use their utmost ex-
crtiOns 10 strengthen and sustain all
these who do put their names TO the
pledge. But after they have done all
that moral means can accomplish, there
are some that will have TO be dealt with
in a different manner-somc who disre-
gard every thing in the universc-hu-
man and diyiEe-sacrcd and profanc-
and make maniacs and brutes Of them
selves-diStroSs their friends, and in
suit and outrage the civil citizens o fyour
town-disgust and offend the traveller as
he passes along, by their inGelicate and
british conduct;-such, for instance, as
staggering through the streets barehead-
ed, with clothes partly or wholly torn
oH-covcrcd with dirt-smeared with
blood and filth. Such will have 10 ex-
p%eriencc the force of cirR powcr before
they will appreciate the obligations they
are under TO society. If there be any
authority TO arrest and c~online such fel-
lows in the county Jail until they come
10 their senses, and those having that
authority neglect to excise it, they are
highly censurable for thus disregarding
the welfare and peace of community-or
in other words, those who placed them
in power.
1t appears that they have right TO i'm
prison those afflicted with insanity, but
those who make Themselves insane, are be-
yOnd The reach ofciUH porer. Ifthere be
no legal authority by which your citi-
zens may rid themselves of such pests,
why then an insulted community should
frown down the Factory that makes

explanation

Sir: In the Radical of last Saturday is

many complaints from our Louisville
Subscribers, that the Radical is not re-

"ticc. We have not vet been able 10
ascertain whether the delinquency
sis clargeable 10 the Post Master at Ash
"ley, or Auburn; but we suspect TO the
'%'lalter. The Louisville package is re-
''gularly mailed at this Office"
Now friend Adams, ! think you dome
a great injustice, by thus publicly throw
ing out your suspicious of my delin-
qucncy. Would it not have evinced an
equal sense of propriety, and fair deal
ing, TO have first inquired into the matter
more particularly, and known 10 a GER
tainty where the fault lay. Had you
have done this, | have the fullest conf
dence that you would have found no
ground Tor attaching such suspicion 10
this office. Your paperis printed Satur-
day evenings, and by due course Of mail,
cannot reach here until Tuesday morn
ing, after the mail 10 .lshlcy has left; con-
scquently, if sent this way, it must needs
lay in our Office seven days, until the
next mail for Ashley; but il happens this
morning, that the Radical for Louisville,
has not come 10 this office, and from best
recollection, does not usually come this
way. think you must see then that
the difficulty is somewhere else.
Yours, Respectfully,
