temperance 1t ruins soul, body, and
character. And by elevating mean
appetite above reason aud conscience
and Judgment, it degrades man To the
level of the brute.-Ilere was young
man, Of respectable parentage, who, by
taking glass after glass became a drunk.
ard. llabilual inlemperance unified
him for any business. lie became the
tenant of low grocery, the fumes oI
which of a winter evening were SICK
ening he became the slave Of low
grocet-for to earn a ass of whisky
he would spend the day, and sometimes
the night, in the salt marshes catching
rats. When no longer able to earn his
glass, he was turned out to die. Alter
he breathed his last in a negro hat, his
corpse was taken to a barn; by the
charity of the plous alone, was his dead
body saved from exposure, and by the
hands OF drunkards he was carried To
an ignobe grave, unwept aud unregrct-
ted. And all this is ON y the degrada.-
ton which 1t brings on the body 1t is
on inmutable law of Jehovah that no
drunkard shall ever inherit the Kingdom
of God.
Drunkenness IS .hus characterized by
W atson, an old Puritan divine: "There
is no sin which doth more eifice God $
image than drunkenness. 1t disguseth
a person, and doth even unman him.
Drunkenness makes him have the throat
of fish, the belly of swine, and the
head of an ass. Drunkenness is the
shame of nature, the extineulsher Of
reason, the shipwreck of chastity, and
the murderer of conscience. Drunken
ness is hurtful to the bodv-the cup
kills more than the cannon. 1t causelh
dropsies, catarrhs, apoplexies - fills
the eyes with fire, aud the legs with wa
ter, and turns the body into a hospital.
But the greatest hurt it doth is to the
soul excess of wine breeds the worm
of conscience. The drunkard is sell
dom reclaimed by repentance, and the
ground of it is partly because by this
sin the senses are so enchanted, the rea-
son so impaired, and lust SO inhamed !;
and partl, in its juticial, the drunkard
being SO besotted by his sin, God saith
Of him, as of Ephraim, he is joined to
his cup, let him alone; let him drown
himself in liquor until he scorch him
self in fire."
o, reader. beware Of drunkenness /;
it is a degrading, damning. sin. If you
have already SO far yielded TO ,empta-
ton as to have acquired relish for it,
resolve now never 10 taste again the
liquid Remember the fearful funer al
of the drunkard.

ganic law Of the Republic, and the acts and sta
tutes made in pursuance thereof, and he will ad-
minister and enforce them, under all circum-
stances, Jearlessiy, fully, and unreservedly.
The idea OF southern Locofocos raking up letters
written twenty years ago to convict Mr. FILLMORE
OF hostility to slavery, is supremely ridiculous.
Nobody ever pretended that he was in love with
that institution. Quite possibly he looks upon it
with uniavorable eyes, and in common with every
man, woman and child in the North, and with
many in the South, thinks it serious evil. But,
at the same time, he places the Constitution far
above private sentiments. He sees nothing within
that sacred instrument either to justify the slight
est interference with slavery, or TO admit of any
higher law, by which its mandates can be set aside
He examines the Constitution. and he finds that
the right of secession exists neither by direct ad
mission, nor by implication. With this unerrng
guide, therefore, Mr.. FILLMORE necessarily op-
poses the philanthropy Of abolition, and
the miserable hereses of dsunion. He steers a
calm and confident course, undsmayed by the
camor and the denunciation of faction.
But it is mere surplusage TO speak the praises of
MILLARD FILLMORE. He needs no encomium, or if
he did, might safely leave the task to the Demo
cracy themselves, large proportion of whom are
ever ready to accord him the just tribute Of national
gratitude for his noble and well timed defence OF
the Constitution and the laws. 1t is only party

and supplied with the means of fulflment, will
be held responsible for the departure of every
other expedition, and for the failure TO seize
any vessel and arrest her crew, which they
may suffer to escape from their particular dis
trcts.
These measures of precauton are deemed
absolutely necessary TO vindicate the national
character and perform national duty imposed
by the people upon the EXECUTIVE in the pas
sage of the statute already mentioned, which,
though passed more than thirty years ago, has
frequently undergone the revision of Congress,
but only 10 be made more obligatory and effec-

The Northern Free -soif and the Southern Demo-
cratic papers just now engaged in the congenial
labor of abusing and vilifying MILLARD FILLMORE
The straight forward, manly, honest and infexible
course Of this steadast champion of the Constitu-
ton displeases at once the advocates of higher
law and the fire-eaters who striving to dis
solve the Union They unite, therefore, in de-
nouncing and traducing him.
Nothing in the world, however, can be more
diametrcally opposite than the reasons assigned
by the Abolitonists and the Dsunionists for SLAM
dering the President. The former assail him fero
ciously as a pro-slavery propaganda, an enemy
10 freedom, base trucker 10 the South the latter
charge him with pandering to abolition, with har-
boring unfriendly sentiments towards the slave
holding States, with be ng hand and glove with
the most rampant negrophilists in the land
Now, it is self evident that both sets of railers
cannot be right. There is the strongest possible
repulsion existing between the two. Mr. FILLMORE
might be pro slavery advocate, OF he might be
an Abolilionist; but he cannot be both. And this
simple statement of the utter ncompatibility Of the
associations heaped upon the President would be,
without further argument, confirmation strong as
proof of Holy Writ of their stupid absurdHy and
entire falsehood.
The fact Of the is, that the President is nei
ther an Abolitonist nor Southern Secessionist
He neither seeks to liberate the slave and to med
die with an institution that does not concern the
people of the North, nor to convince the world that
slavery is blessing, and highly conducive to the
mental, moral, and physical progress of the citi-
zens of the South. MnLARp FrLLMoRE is not that
type vile duplicity-a northern man with south
ern principles, as was said of Van Burcn. He s a

PHILIPS FIRE ANNIHILAToR.-We had an oppor-
tunity yesterday Of witnessing an experiment with
one OF these machines. quantity Of dry shaw
ings, saturated with spirits of turpentine, were
ignited and permitted to get thoroughly on FIRE,
when a jet OF the vapor generated in the machine
was elected into the burning mass, and the flame
vas slmost instantly eStinguished. The brands
still remained gpited. and required the application
OF water 70 entirely check the burning. The ex-
pertinent was made in the open air, and with the
smallest class fannihilatoys-the ope used having

we think that the fire engine will be required toen-

plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
'istration OF Government, in regard to what
sare called tb, Adjustment or Compromise mea-

measures should be regarded in principle as
"a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
'were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual deps ndence and connexion, they formed
a system of compromise the most conciliatory
sand beet for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from connicung secuonal interest ana

'hered to, until time and experience should de-
'monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
'guard against evasion abuse. Thatopinion, 80

will be acted upon steadily and decisively The
peace ofthe country requires this; the security OF

Ii has been remarked by eminent men, that
in the varied catalogue of diseases to which man
liable, there is scarcely one of such importance
and of such interest as Scrofula, whether we
look to the obscurity of its origin, its insidous
progress, the number and variety of organs that
it attacks, or it's remarkable incurability and
extensive fatality.
Scrofula has baffied the skill of the most en-
inent physicians in this country and in Europe.
But there is an antdote for this disease in ''Dr.
