McCoNNELLsBURG, Sept, 25, 1852.
Committee.

I Gentlemen:-
have received your letter containing
the following interrogatory, viz: care you in
favor OF the enactment Of prohlbtory liquor
law in this state, and if elected would you be
willing to exert your influence for the passage of
such law ?''
! In reply thereto, permit me to say that l en-
tertain the highest regard for the temperance
cause Since my youth l have watched with
solicitude, the glorious reformation, induced by
the untiring energy, and disinterested phian-
throphy of the patrarchs Of temperance.
Even now, will yield to no man, in an az
dent desire for the advancement of sobriety.
If the terms of your proposition were not so
general, and if the details of the bill to which it
refers, had been furnished me, | would prefer
making discrimination between its provisions.
But l am forced to give general answer.
In doing SO, take it for granted that by the
term, ''ProhibitoFy Liquor Law" you mean Il
law similar in its provisions to the ''MaiGe Ii
quor Law" This being the case, l feel con-
strained to express my dsapprobation of the
law, because in my judgement, some Of its pro-
visions are repugnant to the Constitution of the
United States, which L have solemnly sworn to
support.
The Federal Constitution provides, that ''the
right of the people to be secure in their persons,
''houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable
''Searches and seizures, shall not be violated
Yet this law contains the odious feature of
delegating to an innumerable police, the right
to search the houses of private citizens, and
ry away their effects on slight suspicion.
4 mans house is his castle, and its sacred
precints should not be violated for light and tri
vial causes. The authorization of a lower so
dangerous to large body Of civil officers car
not be tolerated in this free and nlightened age
No act containing a provision so inimical to
personal happiness, personal security and per-
sonal liberty, can ever command my vote, my
influence.
These, gentlemen, are my opinions as frank
ly given, as they were honestly asked for
And however much we may differ in opinion,
in regard to the manner of effecting a common
object, yet, trust there is sufficient charity re-
naming to attemper feelings, and prevent
any impeachment of each others motives or can
dour.
l am very respectfully,
Yonr ohedt Seryt

1t may not be generally known, yet it is a
truth susceptible of the clearest demonstration
that much of the virulent opposition heretofore
made to Judge Woodward arose from the fact
that in the Reform Convention he was the lead
er and eloquent champion of the tenure of Jud-
ges. He supported that proposition with so
much zeal and energy, and power, and effect,
that nearly all the life Judges then in commits
sion, and their personal friends became his BIT
ter enemies and prosecutors. They have follow
ed him from that day to the present with paral-
leled malignity. That reform was demanded by
an overwhelming majority of the people and has
proved as beneficial as its most jealous advo-
Gates anticipated could have desired. viii
the people Of the State now give their votes to
enable the men who persecute Judge Woodward
for this cause to triumph over him, to crush him
forever If they do, they will become the vol
untary exectoners of their best friends, and will
give but poor encouragement to other able men
to effect reforms desired by the people but which
interfere with the interests of few Office hold
ers If the people desire men to serve them
faithfully and efficiently they must sustain those
who do so.-Harris6urg Keystone.

re- German, whose name we were unable
to learn, attempted to kill himself in Johns
town, Sunday evening, by cutting his throat.
It appears that he left Germany along with his
lady-love, and came to this country to get mar
ried, that sort Of business costing too much at
home. On Sunday evening it is presumed that
he and his intended had 's little old difficulty
when he struck her on the head with a stone,
causing the fluid to course down her fair and
lovely cheek, after which, in fit of desperation,
he applied sharp steel to his throat. We learn
that both parties are recovering. Glad to hear
it, Persevere, faint heart never won fair lady.

The Presidential Election

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times, in letter Of late date
INDUCES in the following specuations in re-
gard to the result of the Presidential cleo
ton. If anything, it is TOO favorable to the
minority candidate, Mr.. Pierce:
Gen. SCOTS progress through the West
is making him personally known to many
thousands of people who have been taught
to regard him as naughty soldier, with no
feeling nor principle in common with them.
The presence and speeches of our gallant
leader are sufficient to dispel all the delu-
sions and preiudices begotten by such mis-
representations. The intense and univer-
sal enthusiasm which he excites, seems to
be conclusive of the issue of the canvass
The eagerness with which persons of all
shades of opinion crowded about him in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, proves that those
States, hitherto supposed to be close and
doubtful, have turned in his favor! The
discontents and quarrels OF the Democrats
in New York, also secures that State in his
favor. The following table presents results
warranted by present appearances.

First Gun from Tennessee.

The following dispatch, says the St. Lou

the Nashville Banner to the Louisville
Journal. The result of the municipal cleo
ton in Nashville, where the Wings usually
have small majority, is always regarded
as telling indication of the result of the
State canvass. We have no more doubt Of
triumphant majority for Scott and Ora
ham in Tennessee, than in Vermont.

SAD VIsITArIoN.-We learn from the
Brnswicker that Judge Jacob Mcdonald is
dead! He died of cholera on reaching home
last Thursday night week from Jefferson
City, where he had been TO represent the
people of'Charitcn county; and his wife and
an Irishman who worked on the farm, died
the next day, of the same plague. No more
cases have occurred.
Judge Mcdonald lived in the forks of the
Charlton few miles east of Keytsvile.-
He was over forty years of age, and had
worked his way up from among the people
10 being one of the most popular and useful
men in the county. Few men in the State
were better acquainted with statute law, and
his business habits will be missed in the next
Legislature.
