The Diodtm is out in a long "lcader -
upon the practihility of making law similar
to the Maine Liquor Law, for Rhode Island
The law has. worked well, so far, in that state
and we see no reason why it would not DO for
'Littlc Rhody." We need more stringent
law for the suppression Of the liquor traffic in
this state, and let the temperance men but
freak the bands Of party prejudice and work
together, and we shall have an efficient one and
shall see it enforced. The Diaaem says:
In view of these considerations, we think VIC
may say to the friends Of the Temperance cause
that the great point for which we have been
labering as accomplished! Experiment has,
at length proved that the enemy is vulnerable
The same unerring teacher has also shown lis
the weapon we are to use, and the place at
which TO aim it. The weapon is the Maine Law
The place to strike is the r,ln traffic.
Especially would we call upon the arOaaen of
our State, to etlectual effort to arouse public
opinion to the enforcement Oi the law.-indivd-
ually and socially the mothers, the sisters, and
the wives Of our state, can be OF great assistance
III this, the final effort for the annhilation of
that traffic, the removal Of which. is all that
can prevent thousands Of the fathers, bro hers,
and husbands Of our women from falling into

WING Meeting in Roxbury. Mass.

At meeting of the Wings of Roxbury,
Massachusetts, held on the 28th ultimo, the
following resolutions, among others, were unan-
imously adopted:
"Resolred, That ardently attached to the Union
Of the American States and people, which was
formed by patriot fathers, and has been hand
ed down to US as one Of their choicest egacies,
earnestly desire that il may be perpetual; and we
will do our part to cherish that spirit of harmony,
concession, and good will towards fellow -cti-
zens of all parts of the country, by which alone it
may be cemented, and it's blessings continued.
And believing that tho Compromise measures of
the last Congress were designed to preserve that
Union unimpaired, we are ready to give them
just support, and to maintain them as the laws of
the land.
"Resolced, That in President MnLARp FILLMORE
and the distinguished members of his Cabinet we
have an Administration of which as Wings and as
Americans we may be justly proud, and in whose
eminent abilities and patriotism, in whose sound
policy and honesty of purpose, in whose faithful
ness to its duties and constitutional obligations, in
whose devotion to the honor and welfare of the
ton we may have the fullest confidence.
"Resolved, That for our distinguished New Eng
land statesman, DANIEL WEBSTER, we entertain

a statesman, and delighting to do him honor, we
rejoice that he is throughout our country hailed as
the Defender of the Constitution and the Champion of
The Union,' and we will most heartily and proudly
unite with the Wings of the Union in comforting
upon him the highest honors in the gift of the pco
pie, to which, by 80 many considerations of merit
and services, he is Justly entitled"

Sickness OF the Prcsident-His Visit TO Char.
lottesville.

From the Charlottesville Adoocats Of Saturday.
A private letter was received here yesterday
morning from Mr.. Stuart, stating that the Pre-
sident was prevented from leaving the White
Sulphur Springs on Monday, as he intended to
do, by an attack of the cholera morbus, with
which he was seized on Sunday night. We
are pleased to learn, however, that the sickness
was of mild character, and that it was ex-
pected the President would be able to leave the
Springs in two or three days. 1t is impossible
to say when he will reach Charlottesville,
though it must be some days later, we should
think, than was expected. 1t is the Presidents
desire to avoid public receptions, as being pre-
judicial to his health in its present enfeebled
condition.
p. S. The President arrived here very I'M
expectedly yesterday afternoon, was called
upon by number Of our citizens, visited the
University and Monticello, and left in the cars
this morning. He had recovered entirely from
his sickness. The news from Cuba has caused
his return to Washington earlier than he ex-
pected

tribute Of respect to the merits of the lamented
Taylor, the deceased President of the United
States. Sadness, gloom, and apprehension, were
expressed by every countenance. The Union
was ia great peril the wild fanatics Of the North
and the deeply incehsed ultras of the South
uniting their efforts TO produce it's destruction.
Whilst Taylor lived our people felt secure, but
at that time he was no more, and the reins Of
Government were transferred to the hands Of Il
northern man. He (Mr. Stuart) never shared any
of these approximations; he had served in Congress
with MIR. Fillmore, and from his knowledge of his
(Mr. Fillmore's) character, he felt the most inn
plicit confidence that all would be safe. Time has
already established that he had but properly esti
mated his character. The storm Of excitement and
agitation had been almost lulled into unruffied
calm. All is now peace, harmony, and safety,
where before was naught but agitation, dissention
and imminent dangers. In reference to the pre-
sent administration he would go 30 far as to say
that it would continue the same policy which had
characterized it heretofore that it would continue
TO move in straight line; that it would "tread
step backward"
Mr.. STUART made many other appropriate
and eloquentremarks which do not occur to US
at this time. Like those of the President, the
sentiments advanced by him were frequently
and warmly responded TO by the delighted and
spell bound audience.
We deem it due to the President and the
Secretary of the Interior to state that we have
not endeavored to give faithful report of their
remarks, but merely TO give our readers some
idea of the sentiments entertained and expressed
by them on this interesting occasion. We
could have given more faithful reports of them
if we had not postponed it to such late hour,
in anticipation of being furnished with them by
some one better prepared for this duty.
These speeches served to inspire the citizens
of this community with additional confidence in
the firmness, patriotism, and fidelity Of the pres
ent Administration, and with increased admira-
ton of the present Executive.

The spanish consu, at New Orleans.

Our newspaper adyices from New Orleans
do not sustain the telegraphic statement Of the
outrages said to have been committed by the
mob against the Spanish consul. They were
much exaggerated, no doubt for effect in dis
tant places in our own country and in Cuba,
The person of the consul had not been out
ragged or endangered; and, though we cannot too
deeply lament the riotous visit that was paid
to his office, we rejoice that we have been
spared the infany that would have blotted the
American NAME if the madness of the mob had
not been arrested before proceeding to ex-
tremities.
We are gratified to learn from all the jour
nails that the outrages really perpetrated were
the work of felons and outlaws, many of whom
have been arrested and recognised as old Of
tenders by the police, and that the citizens Of
New Orleans made the most laudable efforts to
aid in the execution Of the laws.

county for the honor Of Congressional nomina-
tion in the person of General THOMAS f.
Bowie.
The convention then balloted, and the fol-
lowing was announced as the result: Whole
number ofVotes, twenty; necessary to choice,
eleven; Of which RICHARD |. Bowie received
nine, Chose of Montgomery, Charles, and st.
Mary's) THOMAS F. BOWIE, seven prince
Georges and Calvert;) GEORGE WELLS four;
(Anne Arundel.)
Three additional ballotings were had, with
precisely the foregoing result; and on the thir-
ty-ffth (including the balloting Of the proceed
ing meeting) there was variation of one vote
from Mr.. WELLS to Mr.. RICHARD l. Bowie.
Mr.. BERRY earnestly deprecated what he
conceived to be an obstinate determination OF
the convention to preclude Prince Georges
county from furnishing the Congressional can
didate, and then withdrew the name of
THOMAS F. BOWIE, by the instruction of that
gentleman, whose claims he and his colleagues
had SO warmly pressed.
Mr.. CHEW, of Calvert, presented the name
of ALEXANDER SoMERvILLE, of that county,
and spoke of him as in every way qualified for
seat in the House of Representatives.
Mr.. WooTTEN again addressed the conven-
tion insisting that from Prince Georges county
should be selected the candidate. Although
THOMAS +. BOWIE should not be chosen as the
candidate, he declared his readiness to support
whoever might be nominated.
Mr.. WoRTHINeroN, after saying word in
behalf of Anne Arundel county-her delegation
having nominated GEORGE WELLs--withdrew
the name of that gentleman, and expressed his
entire acquiescence in the choice of the con-
yention.
Further remarks were made by several gen.
| tlemen, when
| The convention proceeded to the thirty sixth
ballot; and the following was announced as the
| result:
Whole number of votes, twenty; necessary
| to choice eleven-of which RICHARD l.
BOWIE received thirteen, Montgomery, ST.
Mary's, Charles, Anne Arundel;( and ALEX,
AMBER SoMERvMLE seven, prince Georges
and Calvert.)
| The chairman declared that the Hon. Rich
ARD |. BOWIE had received the nomination;
whereupon,
On motion of Mr.. BRENT, Mr.. BOWIE was
unanimously declared the choice of the conven-
| ton.
DR.. WATERS, of the Montgomery delegation,
after saying that the course of Mr.. BOWIE as a
member of the last Congress had met with en-
tire appreciation, returned his thanks to the
convention for having again placed that gentle
man in nomination.
Messrs. BRENT, BERRY, WooTTEN, and
EDELIN,, engaged in brief discussion, involv-
| ing the history of former nominations, the obli-
cation of abiding by the decisions of conven-
tons, and the business of the choice which they
had but recently made.
On motion of Mr.. BRENT, the chairman was
directed to notify the Hon. RICHARD |. BOWIE
that he had been renominated as a candidate
for Congress from the first Congressional dis
trict of Maryland and then

Tho Cuban Expe dillon.

We publish this morning coplous extracts
from the latest New Orleans papers in regard
to the issues of the Cuban expedition, and the
excitement which they created in the city
where their unlawful enterprise had been en-
couraged and fitted out. They will be read
with a melancholy interest. The letters of
the dupes and victims of LOPEZ remind us
with bitter emphasis of the solemn warning eff
the PRESIDENTS proclamation, and its denunci-
alton of the foreign Adventures who had dared
" to make our shores the scene Of their guilty
and hostile preparations against friendly
power" and had sought "by falsehood and
misrepresentation TO seduce our citizens, espe-
cially the young and inconsiderate, into their
,oicked schemes" And as if blood enough
has not been shed-as if the tears and groans
of bereaved parents, sisters, brothers, and
friends, do not plead with resistless eloquence
for the preservation of the laws of their coun-
try-we find men even now reckless enough
and wicked enough to seek to instigate new
expeditions, to result in similar bloody catas-
trophies!
To all such--and to the country-we feel
we may give the assurance that all the power
lodged with the EXECUTIVE by the Constitution
and the laws will be employed to prevent the
repetition of such offences against society and
the world, and for the preservation Of our neu-
trail relations with all foreign powers. The
victims Of the recent expedition are now beyond
all human jurisdicton--but the fate into which
they were duped places in the boldest relief the
crimnality of all who are still seeking to Sc
duce youth and inexperence into the same
hopeless career Of folly and guilt. Guilt--fol
no man without criminality can violate the laws
Of his country; folly-for the result of the
wretched expedition Of LOPEZ must show
TO all but the wilfully blind and unbelieving
that they are called upon TO abandon thei
pursuits, TO lose their character, and peri
their lives in an attempt to excite rebellion
among the seemingly contented subjects of
foreign power, and not to aid an uprisen an,
soliciting people in gallant struggle for lib
erty.
With regard to the departure Of the Pampe
TO, it is proper to add that the most imperativ
and stringent orders had been given to all tn
United States officers in all our ports to arres
by all lawful means all such expeditions, an
that they viii be held TO a strict accountability
II it should appear that any such officers hav
connivsd at any such expedition, or have bee

1t will be observed that the Geographic re-
ports of the departure Of the steamers Fanny
and Alabama from New Orleans, with rein
forcements for the Cuban expedition, are not
confirmed by our newspaper advices. These
reports were sent under date of the 22d and
Odd ult., both statingsshe alleged departure to
have taken place on the night previous. We
have now newspapers from the Crescent City
to the morning of the 23d, which make no
mention of any such expedition Advices of a
very late date have been received at the
Treasury Department, which are also silent on
the subject.

duties enjoined upon them by the PRESIDENTS

will be forthwith removed. The collector at
New Orleans has been long since called upon
for an explanation of his conduct in permitting
the departure Of the Pampero, and his state
ment in the premises is now before the ExEcg-
TIVE for examination. If it should not be en-
tirely satisfactory, we have reason to believe
that his immediate dismissal will be the conse-
quence

Return OF tho President.

The PRESIDENT arrived at the seat of Gov
eminent on Saturday afternoon last, having left
Charlottesville at three o'clock in the morning,
attended by committee of the citizens of that
place, who accompanied him some seventy miles
to the Junction. On reaching Charlottesville
the day previous, the PRESIDENT was driven
directly to the University of Virginia, the
site of which is little out from the vii
lage, where he visited the Observatory, the
Library, and, being accidentally recognised
/. the Chairman of the Faculty, Mr.. HAIR
RIsoE. Accompanied by these gentlemen, the
PRESIDENT went Immediately to the hotel,
where the party procured a carriage and made
hasty visit to Monticello. On their return to
Charlottesville they found large concourse of
citizens who had assembled to be presented to
the PRESIDENT, to whom it was a source of
sincere regret that the necessity of his return
to Washington prevented him from prolonging
his stay and forming the acquaintance of the
neighborhood which had so kindly and cordially
rendered him their inequalities.
Telegraphic intelligence of the Cuban expe-
dition, and its results, reached the PRESIDENT
at the White Sulphur Springs on Sunday last,
and he started upon his return as soon as he had
so far recovered from his recent indisposition as
to render it prudent to travel. We are happy
to be able to state that his health is entirely
restored.

[PRKsIDENr FILLAoRE's MESSAGE.
"The Presidents message, at the opening of the
spresent session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
'istration OF Gre Government, in regard to what
sare called Alb Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion is that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
"a finalsettlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace, that though they
'were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
smutualde dependence and connection, they formed
a systetpl of compromise the most conciiatory
and beet Tor the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
shered to, until time and experience should de-
monslrate the necessity of further legislation TO
guard against evasion or abuse. Thatopinion, 80
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
'will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace oftho country requires this; the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and everyconside-
ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message, it does notexpect to stand at all.
