Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye
Thy root is ever in its gravel
And thou must die.

A ND A NOTHER!!!s

The daily papers ofthis city have announced
the death of WILLIAM CLEMENTsoN. This un-
fortunate man committed suicide by taking
laudanum, on Monday last. He aoas poor
drunkard. For years past he has been the slave
of this vice. There was time when it was
otherwise. We knew him-a sprightly and
active boy--when he gave promise to parents
and friends, of future usefulness and honor.
But he became moderate drinker,-and like
hundreds and thousands of others, he passed
on from stage to stage, until he became mis-
erable sot, bringing sorrow and broken-heart-
edness to an amiable wife, poverty and tears
to destitute chldren,-grief to the bosom OF
friends, land, finally, ending his career mis-
erable suicide.
Thus poverty, and destitunon, and crime,
all follow in the train of intemperance!
Can nothing be done to awaken proper
concern in this community, upon this subject
Must the work Of arresting these evils be still
left with few men, while the great mass Of
the community satisfy themselves with merely
wishing them :" God speed?"
The cases which we place on record to-day,
are not peculiar. Every day, in some part Of
the country or other. similar outrages are oc.
curring,-similar melancholy events are trans.
piring, and all traceable 10 the one grea,
cause.-The use Of intoxicating drinks. Ii is
no time for apathy,-none for the folding oi
hands. Next to the success of the gospel
ought we TO regard the triumph Of the tempe.
rance cause.

BALTIMORE RAILROAD.

Our readers are referred to another column
for the action of the Board of Common Coun-
Gil in relation to this Railroad. 1t will be per-
ceived, that the vote on the adoption of the bill
was unanimous in that Board, and it is proba-
BILE that it will pass the other Beard with the
same unanimity. Indeed, there seems to be
but one feeling abroad in this community, in
relation TO this subject. Nor is the feeling con.
fined to our own merchants and citizens. Per-
sons at distance, travellers and others, have
spoken out, plainly and freely, against the in
justice and oppression practised by the exac-
tons Of this company. These complaints are
increasing daily; and the company must per-
ceive that the time has come, when it is alb
solutely necessary for them to reduce their
charges upon this road, to rate corresponds
ing, as far as practicable, to the charges upon
the other great thoroughfares of our country
The company cannot suppose. that the reduc-
ton Of fifty cents in the rate of fare will salts
fly the public. We tell them that it will not;
nor will any charge beyond one dollar and fifty
cents be tolerated. Andit is also expected, by
our merchants and Others, that the charges on
goods and merchandise, shall be reduced.
We have listened to some singular develop
ments in relation to the policy of this compa-
ny; and at a proper time, unless it should be
done by some other hand, we intend to en-
Tighten our readers, and the public, as TO that
policy by which this company persists in its
exorbitant charges.
The corporate authorities of our city are
fully justified in the measures which they pro-
pose, in justice to the interests of their imme-
diate constituents. and ofthe public. And they
have formed very erroneous opinion of the
character Of our people, who have supposed
that they will submit to wrongs, when the
power to redress them is in their own hands.
Whatever this company intend to do, should
be done quickly. M
