National Inegencer, who writes over the sig
nature of"A Calm Observer" does not appear
70 keep calm when he writer about the pro-
bable result Of the Connecticut election, but
launches forth against the efforts of the friends
OF temperance, and charges upon them the
loss OF the State to the Wings, without giving
poof the fact. Thus the politicians 60. The
Wings charge the loss Of State to the exer-
hons OF the friends of temperance-to suppress
the sale OF a most destructive poison. The De
mocrats, see it stated in one OF the papers Of
The day, charge the loss of Safe TO the ex
ertions OF the clergy. Now, suppose rei-
gion must be abolished. or the clergy must be
silent in one State to please one party, and in
another State the friends Of temperance must
give up what they consider the best means to
advance the cause, to please the politicians Of
both; but we tell these gentlemen that the
temperance question is not party question.
There are what "a Calm Observer is pleas
ed TO call 1ealots in the cause, who belong to
both political parties, MEN who will not sacr
fee great moral principle to please the poll

for the lodves and fishes, of either party, and
have not spark Of patriotism in their compo-
sition. ga Calm Observer" need not think tc
scare temperance men from the position they
have taken, by asserting that legislation on the
cause of intemperance is worse than useless
or by raising the cry of prescription ant
intolerance against the temperance cause. -

Quantities of fish are arriving here, and the
large number of vessels engaged in carrying
them, and wagons in waiting to carry them
away, give our streets quite lively appear

Every evening our celebrated fish wharf is
literally crowded with wagons, and a con

were made against murderers, thieves, gam

on the same principle that he opposes laws
being made TO restrain the sale of poison un-
der the name of wine, beer, and brandy. Does
he not know that there are more murders com

he not know nearly all the crimein the world

friend into the drunkard's grave, caused by the

be restrained by law, and must be finally abo
