conflict with public opinion, as the natural
consequence will be contention, opposition

local prcjudices and not suffer them to in

should be closely scrutinized and our de-

ALCOHOL TEMPERANCE, sc.

n
We now, MIR. Editor, approach a point
Of our subject about which we think there
is great contraricty of opinion, both among
the thinking and unthinking part of the
communicative mean the subject of grant
ing license to sell alcohol
That grog shops are great nuisance, we
all readily admit but this is not the ques-
ton a, issue. Will the withholding of H.
cense promote true temperance? If II can
be shown that it will, then the duty of coun-
ellis and commissioners is plain--they should
not be granted. But on the other hand, if
j: be shown that the refusal to grant them
will retard the cause, by conflicting with
public opinion, then their duty is equally
plain, and they should be granted. We
are thoroughly convinced, that public opin-
ion should here, as in all other matters Of
public policy, decide the question, as it is
that opinion by which we will finally have
to be governed
So long as there is alcohol among US
SO long as it can be obtained by the drink
ing class, and so long as human nature re-
mains the same, the mere refusal to grant
license will not curtail its use, and conse-
quen,ly an important question comes up
will there not be more corruption produced,
both among the white and coIored popula
ton, and more dishonesty exer,ed in the
procuring and use of the drug, and consc-
quently greater injury done the cause
than if license were granted.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if this view of the sub
ject be at all probable, (and we think it
quite so) is not the duty of councils and
commissioners plain? This should not be
considered a local matter. 1t is one that
operates upon the whole class of society,
and will hold equally true in any section
or corporation in the Union; and since al
cohol is still used to lamentable extent by
large portion of society; and since the
refusal TO grant license will not check its
use, so long as it can be obtained and men
desire to drink it, it should be sold under
certain restrictions, as the least of the two
evils, till the time arrives when respecta-
BILE man will neither keep; or be caught in,
a grocery. When ever this time comes,
it will bring with it events that will render
it unnecessary to either grant or withhold
license; for then, no man Of respectability
would engage in the traffic, and the retail
business would 60 down as an unavoidable
consequence. This is the only course by
which the matter of liquor drinking will
evef be brought to happy and speedy
z.iesaaa n ~ ah ihiaas will kill it.

GEOLOGY.

That the study of this science is of great
importance even to the unscientifc, will not
be doubted, at least by any one who is at all
acquainted with any of its fundamental
principles.
In attemptingto to write an article or two
upon this subject, we are aware that we
shall labor under great embarrassment-a
purely scientific article would be lnappro-
pirate for journal like yours.
The phrase geology, is derived from two
Greek words-the one signifying "the
earth," the other ssa scourse"-hencethe
phrase means discourse onthe earth. This
science supposes that the matter constituting
the earth, was spoken into existence by the
power of God-that he said, let it be so,
and it was so. The science also supposes,
that the same Almighty power as the mo-
wing, and controlling agent of all physical
causes, arranged the matter as we find
it, and not that the earth appeared in its
present foEm' at the end of the six days
