The above extracts are from the edition
of a. ID. 1871, and although they do not
contain all that is said in favor of the inno-
cence and propriety Of the use Of wine at

Is nothing IN the commentary upon the a.
bove portion OF Holy Scripture inconsistent
with them.
The conclusion, then taking INTO consider
alton the position Of The editor, and the de-
sign OF the work, would seem to be well
founded, that as late as seven years ago, no
commentator, having the pety and learning
requisite to enttlc lis productions to respects

Tne TAnirr MODIFICATION. The
N. Y. Evening Post, free-tradc paper,
says:
From Washington we hear that the
prospects of the protectionists are some
what brighter by the modification which
has lately been agreed on if-,he lubbies,
giving tire owner OF the cotton mills the
advantage of duty Of 80 per cent. ad
calorcm. Some eight or ten members
who would not have voted for the scheme
are now counted as its friends. The
representatives ofthe Eastern cotton fac
tories were not well pleased with the
comparatively snall proportion of benefit
which they were to derive from it, and
said that the bill was. to them al least,
hardly worth the trouble of passing.
These will now give il the best support"
A Washington correspondent of the
same paper iniimates that Messrs. Cass
aud Buchanan, whn were in favor of the
project Of Mr. Strong, will not commit
themselves in favor Of the amended
project.

Highways. No. Q.

In my previous article, promised to
consider proposition for a change in
the system of expanding the revenue pro-
vIded by law for repairing and making
highways. To do this, | shall take mo
consideration some of the changes that
have been made, and the effects of those
changes, SO tar as they have come under
my observation. A tax of six cents on
dollar (iormcrly, nov eighteen) of the
grand list has been the medium revenue
raised for the making and keeping in re-
pair the highways throughout our State.
This was apportloned, formerly, to the
tax payers, according 10 their several
lists, at the rate of - cents per day for
work on the highways This meiho d

was new, roads very bad, as hey neccs.

developed 10 neglect associate and Joint
interest in public roads. and to look more
to private and personal interest. Soon
this disposition became general, aud II,

Of our public highways.

roads than any former plan, but it now
fails. Some Chlnge, in nav humble opin-
ION, has become necessary some new
invention must be presented To give an
impetus to improvement in our highways,
which is every way desirable.

Legislature, at lis last session, which
meets my approbalion--in theory, at
least. The merits Of this plan, it is my
purpose to discuss in another number.
