D'Atter temporary suspension, we are glad
to welcome Young America, the lana reform or
gan, again to place among our exchanges. 1t
entertans what we believe to be the correct opin-
ion as to the importance of the land reform move
ment, but we think it undertakes the value or
mistakes the character or other proposed reforms
which agitate the country. We are quite sure
that slavery can never be thoroughly eradicated
until the public lands are thrown open to these
to whom they belong-the people: nevertheless
this result can only be attained b. successive
steps, and we look upon all questions, which in
the least degree embody progress in knowledge
of human rights, INSTEAD of operating against the
great end as absolutely necessary to its accom-
plishment. The history of the world proves the
human mind to progress very slowly in know
ledge of its rights, and that ts present point has
been obtained only by gradual aud successive
steps of ascension. The mass do not and can
not see and comprehend at once the whole of
truth, and hence, all measures which embody re-
form in the least degree are to be rather cherish
ed than condemned.

AN IMPORTANT TRIAL.-A case is set down
for trial before Justice futile, on Monday next
which is important as affecting the merits of the
Liquor Law, passed by the last legislature. a
married woman has prosecuted the principal and
sureties of liquor establishment, for injury sus-
tanned by the sale Of liquor to her husband, and
the decision will of course, test the value of the
law. Should the prosecution be sustained, the
law will have all the value its originators and
friends hoped from it. Should it net, it will of
course be dead letter on the statute books, and
something new will have TO be devised

G'The County Judge, Mr.. CHATrIELD, in the
case of the dispute with reference TO the office OF
treasure OF the county, decided adversely to the
claim OF Mr.. Stafford, elected last fall The
conclusion is based on the opinion that the con-
stitulion abrogated all election laws previously
existing, and no subsequent law authorised an
election last fall The Supreme Court now in
session, will no doubt have similar eases submit

Friday, January III, 1850.

UBy reference TO our Congressional procee
dings, it will be seen that Gen. Cass is moving
to procure the withdrawal of our minister from
Austria, on account of the Crleties of that row
er towards the Hungarians. Gen. Cass init
mates that there is no absolute necessity of our
having minister there which, we think, is in
itself sufficient reason for Withdrawing him:
but if the move is for the purpose of conveying
to Austria an expression of condemnation on our
part, of her acts of tyranny towards the Hunga-
rians, it certainly is worth while to pause and
consider what weight such expression would
have TIL body which proposes to adopt this
measure is composed, among others, of men who
are threatening to dissolve the union and destroy
the government, unless they are permitted to own
men and plant slavery in territory and among
people now free; the author Of the move, if we
mistake not, holds to the doctrine. that the maio-
rity have right to enslave the minority, if they
see fit; and finally one half the states of this con-
federacy which proposes to utter this remon-
STRANGE against slavery, recognize its existence
among themselves, in its worst form and avow
their determination to sustain it at all hazards
Under such circumstances, we might protest
against the practice of tyranny by any and all
governments, but we could hardly hope or expect
to carry much moral weight in such protest 1t
is to be regretted that we do not occupy better
position in this respeCt-to be regretted for the
cause Of liberty throughout the world.
GJWe understand that the village authorities
have concluded bargain for the purchase of a
lot to place the Engine House upon. If we were
to express an opinion in the matter we should
think they had made purchase not called for
Are not the taxes high enough? Does not the
cost Of the building run the corporation in debt
enough, without expanding the credit of the vii
lage in purchasing property they do not WANT
Every body knows that the west end of Market
Square is large enough, is as central as it can
be, and is just the place for the Engine House,
and what reason existed for the purchase of lot
alongside of it at cost Of $500 and annual in
terest ill paid, we cannot divine. Further, il it
had been designed to have built the Engine
House on a lot the front OF which only, was ac-
cessibIe, a large sum of money might have been
saved in the contract for letting the work because
the exterior Of the building would not have re-
CURED so good finish placed up against meat
market, as would have been necessary if all sides
had been exposed to the public gaze
a building % by 40 feet, ? stories high, stu
atcd at the west end of the market square, cost
! ing nearly a thousand dollars would have been
all ornament to the square, and as we said above
what reason existed why another lot should be
bought and that left vacant we are not yankee
enough to guess.
1t is but proper to add that the measure did
not receive the assent of all the trustees c.
