Messrs. LITTLE b BaowN: think you have laid
the profession under great obligations, in the
publication Of the ''English Reports in Law and
Equity" in this country.
The low price at which the volumes are offered,
will enable the bar generally in this way to fur
nish their libraries with the current English Re-
porta of which many of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have a ready access to
the decisions Of courts sitting at the fountain
head of the law, whence have been derived, for the
most part, the several aystems. more or less mod-
fed daily administered by the courts of this
try. And. however modified these systems may
be, it ia manifest that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation of most of the
cases arising here. I
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases IMMEDIArELY AFTER
THE PUBLICATION IN ENGLAND CoNsIDERATIoN
OF THE FIRST IMPORTANCE; for, If the Reports Of
cases decided are of any value, the sooner they
are in the hands of the profession the better. i
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be Commensurate with the merit of the enter
prise.

DE ID - On Thursday evening, 5th inst, at the
residence of his brother, near St. Clairsvile, of
hemorage Of the lungs, ELIJAH BARNES, in the 43d
year Of his age.
At meeting of the Rio Frio Division,
No. 354, Sons of Temperance, held March
18th, the following resolutions were adop-
ted -
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God,
ID his inscrutable Providence, to eall from
time to eternity, our late lamented Brother,
Elijah Barnes, and as we have always found
him kind and devoted Son Of Temperance,
one who was ever ready to discharge with
fidelity the duties devolving upon him,
therefore,
Resolped, That in the decease of Brother
Barnes, our Division has lost a worthy
member.
ResOlDed, That we tender our sympathies
to the family Of the deceased Brother, in
this, their severe af1ictiOn of Providence.
ResolDed, That the members of this Di-
vision wear Grape on the left arm thirty
days, as a badge of mourning, and tribute
Of respect to tho memory Of the deceased
Brother.
Res0lUed, That the r. s. tender to the fam
lily Of the deceased, copy of these resolu-
tions, with the seal of the Division attached,
also, copies to the Organ of Temperance,
and the papers of our town for publiea-
ton. Russ MoNEELY, r. 8.

modify for money or its equivalent; to tTqtf
is to 5uv and sell wares, or in the case 0
whisky-see Webster-"t to traffic msaNly o.
mercenarily." 1t is not sale alone, it i
the purchase also, and consequently thu
provision empowers the General Assembly
to enact laws not only against evils result
ing from the sale, but also from the PuTehGs'
Of Intoxicating liquors. The evils result.
ing from the purchase Of whisky and its
consumption by the purchaser, or the resale
thereof to a consumer and against these
evils, the Legislative power not only can,
but it is It's duty to provide. Now, II these
evils may be provided against, any trade
whatever in whisky may be provided
against, extending to an entire prohibition,
and the law Of prohibition be perfectly con.
stitutional.
Had the constitutional provision ceased
at the prohibition to license, doubtless lie
Blond would say that every man could ex-
ercise the natural right of selling, untram-
melled by law, There is not, nor never
was, such a natural right 10 iniure, hurt,
molest, or destroy his fellow man and all
the natural rights given to man, which are
in their tendency hurthil, are released "a
the government, in the social state. The
traffic in whisky is not a natural right Il
is only social right, SO far as authorized
by law, and no farther. If the provision,
then, had ceased at the prohibition, trade
or traffic, purchase or sale, would have been
prohibited, not permitted, and any law regu.
lating or permitting sale, would have
been Unconstitutional. The addition to the
prohibition, places the entire subject - traf-
fic, purchase and sale - within the control
of the Legislature, and. the grant of the rule
to provide against evils, clothes it with
power to govern the traffic, by such laws,
either prohibiting, limiting, unlimiting, or
creating responsibilities in the nature Of
damages, in money, to the party or family,
or penalties in whatsoever degree, short Of
death, that body in its wisdom; or the want
thereof, may be pleased to enact.

The nation is great pond of water, whose

The Circling waves, in the form of facts per.

she felt their power, and let down another
stone into the pond, in the form of the great
State Convention just held at Columbus
From that point another circling wave rolls
forth with awful majesty, The breath Of
the Lord shall agitate that troubled surface
until the filthy scum goes off in exhalations,
till the tide Of living death is all dried up,
or is SKINNED off and poured out into the
gulf of oblivion. Opposition to the Maine
Liquor Law is a race horse, but the facts
connected with the operation of that law,
is saw that cuts every leg square off.
Opposition to that law is whisky barrel,
but these facts knock in both heads at once;
they are q cork screw TO pull out its hung
and give old mother earth drink.
Opposition to this law is human throat
but an attemptto swallow these facts chokes
it up tight. They win not 90 down the
throat Of an opposer. No. no, you win do
wellif you get them into his ear. You win
