A RUN ORGAN.

The Rumsellers Of New York and their
deluded customers are going to start % or
gan! We are to have : paper, not devoted
10 politics, or religion, Or literature, OF vir-
tue, or morality, or temperance. or to any
Of those things TO which papers generally
dedicate themselves, but . paper devoted
10 Rum!--a Rum Orgsn!-an organ Of dis
ea.e,-an organ Of death snd misery, Of
unhappiness and ruin to families and de-
struciion to society! Many papers have
opposed the Maine Law---msny hsvs
brought forward cold-blooded, mercensry,
selfish arguments against it; but not even
the most mercenary and selfish among
them would desire TO be regarded a. rum
organ. But Ecclesiastes TO the contrary
not wi,hsta anding new thing il to appear
under the sun. The liquor dealers OF New
York, finding that their occupations gone,
unless something desperate ID undertaken,
have resolved to have an organ. Tho sum
of $4,000 has been subscribed, snd this
amount is to be doubled, so as to put the
thing on sure basis. This is ssthe wind
which according to the theory Of Mr.. Hale,
is to keep "the organ" 10 motion.

fering women-the waiIing Of hungry and
naked chiIdren,-the groans Of wounded,
and the death rattle Of murdered men-the
diving gasps the diseased, and the shrieks
Of maniacs, mingled with foul, blasphemous
cursings and horrid oaths, in such doleful
discord AZ would make hell shudder at the
sound!
A hundred thousand dollars is q pretty
large sum and will do great many things,
but we don't think it will hire the people OF
New York to listen much longer to such
music as that!

There seems to be tho very refinement
Of cruelty in the ma uner in which the Gov
eminent Of Austria treats the female rela-

this naughty nation only be sustained by

Whv should they be detained

that the sins Of a son or brother, seeking
the liberties Of his own land, should be vis-
tied on them? A maenanimous monarch,
