LEGISLATION ON the License QuEsrIos.--It is
generally anticipated that the Legislature will
make some amendment Of the laws regulating the
sale of intoxicating liquors We understand there
at least three several kinds Of petitions in crcu-
lation for signature One for repeal of all laws
restraining the sale. Another, prohibiting the
County Court from granting license except in ac-
cordance with the vote Of the people Of The towns
at March meeting. A third, for having the whole
subject placed in the power of County Commission
ers elected by the people.
So far as we can judge of the public feeling
in this region, we think the latter proposition
most decidedly in favor, both with the friends Of
temperance and the community generally. Il leaves
the whole subject within reach Of the people, and
at the same time removes il from being a bone Of
angry contention in town meeting. If the friends
of temperance can succeed in electng boatd Of
Commissioners opposed to granting licenses, we
doubt not the minority would cheerfully submit,
and so rice

This document, which is of great length and Of mark
cd interest and ability, transmitted to the two
Houses on the lti inst We are reluctantly compcll

After referring in appropriate terms the Divine Be-
ing at once the source Of authority and fountain Of

Of the people to their duties Of eecting the Judicial
and Executive officers Of the State and Of making laws
for the good-not only for the establishment
Of Justice but for the promotion Of virtue the suppress
sion of vice and the diffusion Of knowledge. He de-
considerable space to the subject Of education
and the improvement Of common schools and urg-
with great earnestness and force the necessity Of
immediate and efficient action upon this subject If Yer
mont would continue to hold rank with her sister States
where so much has been done. He admits, however,
that little be done by legislation, unless the
people themselves become interested in purifying and
cevating these fountains Of intelligence and blessing,
and that efforts improvement should not be hasty
headlong. But beginning should be made. He seems
inclined favor the New York plan of General SUI
pcrntenden of Public Instruction. aided by County SUI

careful and exact information Of the present condition

III do not hesitate to say that II would be the duty Of
Vermont to declare her unaltcrable determination to
have connexion with the union, thus formed
without her consent and against her will To carry out
this determination would not be TO dissolve the Union
but to refuse to submit to its dissouton-not nufy
but TO resist notification"
We doubt not this message will be well received
throughout the State.

JoSEss MuLrIPLYise BEE HIyE We last
week paid visit TO the Bee House Of Mr. Solyman
Cune, Of this town. He has some t,centy swarms
of bees at work in Jones's Multiplying Hive, and
we think one only needs to see them to be fully
convinced of their great superiority over the com.
mon Hive The great advantage is, that the swarm.
are multiplied as rapidly and numeronsly as the oc
casion requires, without the trouble, anxiety and
hazard Of what is termed 's,oarming,' which troub
lie, &c. is the greatest objection with many to keep
ing these Industrious workers. This objection
seems to be entirely obviated by this kind Of Hive
We advise those who keep bees, or who have any
desire to do SO, to call upon Mr. Cune and examine
his Hives and Bee establishment.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
YPSILANTI SENTINEL.

In soliciting the patronage of the public for
the proposed publication, it is due to that pub
lie TO give an outline of the views and princi~
Plies by which we shall be governed. and this
duty we proceed to discharge. While We
shall endeavor to make our sheet the channel
tor communicating to our readers, the intelli-
gence usually given in public journal, its
character will be essentially political; and &C.
cordng to the original sense of the term, as
applicable to this government; strictly demo.
cratic. We have lived sufficiently long, how.
ever, to learn, that names are but TOO often
illusory and deceptive, and that tine arts of
lmpostors are seldom put in practice, except
under cover of some specions and imposing
appellarion. We shall not therefore rest our
claims upon name, but invite the severesr
scrutiny of our readers to the fidelity with
which our professions as All editor are main
tanned and practised.
AS the only legitimate object of republ-
can or democratic government is the equal
protection of the rights, and promotion of the
welfare and happiness of all it follows as an
irresistible conclusion, that that administra-
ton. or system of measures which is most
conducive TO these ends, is best entitled to the
appelation of democratic And as the only
true test, of the merit of measures or admins
tratons, is 10 be found in the effects produced
on the interests and moral character of soci-
ETY., it is by this standaIG alone that we snail
aim TO be governed in passing judgment upon
them.
We believe the doctrines or rather the dog
mas of parry as inculcated by the leaders of
that school laying exclusive claims to democ-
racy, TO be the most dangerous, because the
most inslduous enemy tn the interests and in.
situations of the country--that it demands of
Its vntaries passive obedience to the order of
leaders, regardless of the claims of patriotism
OF county, or the constitution. Our endeay-
or shall therefore be, 10 expose and counteract
the dangerous aid enslaving tendency of this
doctrine, and enforce as far as in our power
lies the higher obligations OF duty TO ourselves
and to our country, believing that where the
requirements of party are thus urged by its
leaders, the proceeding carries on its face the
Interests and not those of tie country they are
laboring to promote.
We believe that the wealth, happiness end
independence of our country, depend on the
encouragement and protection of the labor and
industry of Our own citizens, and the cultiva-
ton OF our own resources in all practicable
cases fer the supply OF our wants, in prefer
ence TO z reliance npon precarious supply,
- lie draw; f.om abroad subject to the can,
| rice OF the world and The contingencies of for
| eign commerce.
| To this outline of our views we shall, scru-
pulousIy adhere. and with this declaration, Oh
fer OR sheet to the public and solicit its pat
ronage. JOHN VAN FOSSEN.
