THAT WILL DOT

The License Commissioners Of the several
towns in Letchfield county, Connecticut, re-
Gently held convention for the purpose of
adopting Uniform system of licensing the
sale OF intoxicating drinks. They determined
to license no man in ,chom they had not special
confidence, and that in all such cases, they
should be under the following limitations and
restrictions 4" that they do furnish, constantly,
wines. and splriiuous liquors OF approved quail
itles, Tor medical, mechanical, and sacramental
purposes, and vend the same for such purposes
onty.. but IN no case. where they have reason
to believe they will be perverted to other pur.
poses" The persons who secure such license
are required to keep book, which shall at all
The Columbian fountain., 1846-02-07

times be open for inspection, in which shall Be
recorded an accurate account OF the quantity
and kind OF liquor sold, the date Of such sale,
and the person who purchased
This is as il should be, and no one can COIN
PLAN that his rights or Liberties are invaded,
or abridged by such regulation. To use IN,
loxicating liquors as beverage is a sin
against God, and endangers not only the life
of hm who drinks, but the peace and welfare
OF society. God has signally fulfilled his sen
tence against those who put the bottle 10 the
lips of his fellow man, and the whole world
are witnesses for God, that g wine is mocker,
strong drink is raging" and that, sat the
last, it biteth like serpent and stingelh like
an adder" No man can have moral right
to sell or drink, for Jehovah has set The seal OF
his condemnation upon it. No man has le-
gal right 10 poison his neighbor, or beggar his
famlly,,or injure in any way the society OF
which he is a member.
If portion of our citizens had burning
thirst for prussic acid, or any other destructive
agent, and few depraved, ayaricious Williams
were willing to feed this morbid appetite, and
were daily sending to an untmely grave those
who were so unfortunate as TO come within
the range OF their influence, and thus bring a

there man who would object to such regu-
ation as has been adopted by these License
Commissioners, 10 stay the tide of death? NO.!
Why then, when the burning lava is rolling
its scorching pillows over our land, consuming
all the verdure and beauty of our otherwise
happy country, why shall any complain Of the
severity or tyranny OF any means that may be
adopted to stop its onward progress.
We like the plan Of requiring record to be
kept, which shall be open to inspection. If
the Bank Exchange" and " William Tel" !"
and the one thousand other grog- shops kept
such record, what testimony they would fur
nish that it was a God-defying, soul destroy
ing business. When a man had been MUIR
dered, we would be able to trace the history OF
the case from the low dram shop, where the
deed was perpetrated, to the fashionable hotel,
where the FIRST lesson had been learned, and
the first step in the road to ruin had been
taken.
Such a record would startle the rum seller
himself, if his conscience was not entirely an
nihiated. Reader, would your name be found
on the deuiPs book! The authorities who
grant licenses in this region would dislike
such regulation. Their names (some Of
them at leasD would be found on almost every
page of the record Our army Of licensed
doggery keepers would writhe and foam, and
rage, if they had to keep set of books, with
the names of their customers, the kind of
liquor sold, and the date Of the purchase. Yet
it would be right Ohio Temperance Organ.

Against rumored war
a report is very current about the streets
today that Hon. rhos r. Marshall has been
killed in duel with Mr.. Cassius Nj. Clay.
The report is credited by some. and the duel
SAID to have taken place in the Stale Of Della
ware.
The rumors in relation 10 Mr.. Buchanan's
translation from the Cabinet TO the bench OF
the Supreme Court are without foundation.
Il is expected that after The Navy Augmen-
tation Bill is disposed Of in the Senate, and
the Oregon question in the House, some de-
monstranon will be made by the most mme-
diate friends Of the administration in relation
TO the Constitutional or Independent Treasury
system, which seems 10 be sleeping in its own
vaults and safes at present. The Secretary Of
the Treasury, for one, is not disposed that it
shall be so overlooked He has declared that
he will leave the Cabinet if that question and
the reduction of the tariff of ls42 are not
pushed forward with at least as much vigor as
some other points He says he came into the
Cabinet, and the administration came in, on
those two questions, as the most important
and leading measures of the party
Much wonder is expressed to-day that the
President has not answered the call for intor-
nation in relation to diplomatic correspon-
dence on the Oregon controversy since his last
communication to the House on that subject.
II was asked for by the House on motion Of
Mr.. Colamer, OF Vermont, on Tuesday last;
and by the Senate, on motion Of Mr.. Web
ster, eight days ago. There must be some
thing in the wind, and it looks very much as
though negotiations had been resumed and
were already in such state Of forwardness
as precuded immediate publicity.

"ONCE MORE TO THE BREACH!D
Mr.. EDIToR Permit me, as an ardent
friend of the Temperance cause, to mingle
few drops with the pure streams of your
Fountain, +" for the especial consideration
of those who, like myself, regard the cause
as having an important bearing on the best
interests Of humanity. A very intelligent
gentleman residing in this city, has repeat
edly declared in public, that one Of the first
effects Of Total Abstinence on him was to
kindle up in his heart the smouldering fires
of philanthropy, which had well-nigh been
extingushed by alcohol. Regarding this
particular case as representative of all who
have been redeemed from intemperance, |
confidently speak to the friends of Tempe
rance, as the friends of benevolence, in the
widest sense of the term. Permit me, then,
to invite my friends and co-laborers in the
good work, to accompany me on an imagi-
nary tour. Take your seats, gentlemen, in
this comfortably furnished rail-car. The
hour for starting has arrived. With puff
and whizzy the locomotive commences It's
rapid motion, and away we go with the
noise of thunder and the speed oflightning.
By this time we have become composed a
little, and will take the liberty of ofacquaint-
ing you, with the history and plans of one
Of our party. Do you see that pale, intel
lectual being, seated in remote corner of
the car, wrapt in profound meditation
The fire of genius, softened by the mider
radiance of love, beams from his eye. In
tellect sits enthroned on his noble brow,
while humility and devotion are stamped
on every feature; and ever and anon
smile lights up the whole countenance, and
makes him appear in our eyes more like an
angel visitant, than some fallen inhabitant
of our sin-smitten sphere, as a noble
thought Of holy philanthropy solicits the
attention of his capacious and sanctiied
mind. That man is the highly popular,
talented, and pious Rev. Mr. -. He
is on tour of philanthropy. His intention
is TO traverse the length and breadth of our
country, stopping at every place of impor-
tance, to exhort the people, in his inimita-
bic eloquence, to forsake their evil ways
and to pursue course of life more conso-
nant with their true interests, present and
future-and all this he does without hope
or desire Of any other reward than the sa-
tisfaction Of having performed good ac-
ton. Is not his conduct uoblei Are not

THE STABILITY OF A REPUBLIC

Depends not upon education alone. Mental
power, without moral direction, can have no
thing but an evil tendency. We must not on
ly enlighten the people, but endue them, if
possible, with the love Of virtue. Reason
and experience" said General Washington,
on retiring from the Presidency in 1896, for
bid us TO expect that morality or political pros
perity can prevail in exclusion of religious
principles" And in 1902 the French Repub-
lie, after giving in6delity a fair trial, was con-
strained to confess, " For want of religious
education for the last ten years, our children
are without any idea Of Divinity, without
any notion Of what is just or unjust: hence
arise barbarous manners, hence people be-
come ferocious."
