The Cataract, published simultane-
ously at Boston and Worcester, gives
a good account of the working of the
new Law. 1t will be rigidly enforced
in the small towns and cities but in
the large cities, especially Boston, it
will be a difficult matter to enforce it.
The Boston Bee gives the following as
the position Of the friends and enemies
of the Law. 1t may be relied upon
as correct -

enforcers of the Law, there have
been several bodies, committees, &c,

been held in public and private, and a
great variety of machinery has been
manufactured, and put it readiness for
operation. This most certainly indi-
Gates a deliberate and formal warfare
against the liquor trade.

of the law are most Thoroughly organ
lied forming phalanx that will be
found extremely formidable. They
have, to begin with, any amount OF
money. Over one hundred thousand
dollars have been freely subscribed,
which amount can be doubled OF
quadrupled any day. Prosecutions
will be carried to the highest courts
and with a vigor that cannot be
doubted; there is a power which the
Liquor Law men are not to regarC
lightly. The fight is to be on two
sides"
This looks rather gloomy; but a few
months of untiring exertion on thu
part of our friends, and the tables may
be turned. 1t will be a hard fight
but Truth and Right will prevail
The State Central Committee hav
determined to do their part. The,

with great unanimity:
" ReSoIued, That the State Temper

In conformity with public notice,
the friends of Legal Suasion assembled
at Newcastle, Kentucky, on Thurs.

procession was formed, and under the
soul inspiring music Of the Louisville

the immense crowd, including the

sober steps to beautiful grove on the
farm of that true hearted gentleman
and friend of true liberty, Mr.. Joseph
Cooper.
The crowd in town and on the way,
was thought to be considerable; but
when they joined the still greater
throng that had hurried straight to the
ground to secure good places, there
was indeed SOME, sure and certain,

calculated to nerve the heart Of the

The Snakes in Trouble

The article published in the Organ
a week or two since, under the cap

created an awful commotion among

abide the consequences, and suffer the
odium that public opinion casts upon
such a departure from their high es-

noticed, in a late No. of your paper,
an article purporting to have come
from "Snaketown," accompanied by
an editorial, designating st. Clairsville,
Ohio, as the place referred to, under
that name, deem it our duty to request
of you your correspondents name. In
doing SO, we disclaim all sympathy fol
the grogshops, or grogshop keepers
and had your correspondent confined
himself to facts, we should have haC
nothing to say but as he has gOn'
beyond all truth and temperance, il
giving issue to an infamous slande
upon those who are usually conslderet
exempt from such an attack-the la
dies, we feel that in making this re
quest, we are not going beyond tn
right.
The ladies Of st. Clairsville ar
known, and the entire propriety 0
their conduct has never before beel
disputed and now that it has beel
brought into question, we only desir
to know if the source is of sufficien
responsibility to justify us in refutinl
the charge. As we intend bringin.

With wind and clouds, and changing skies,

That through the snowy valley flies.
All, passing few they are who speak,
Wild, stormy month in praise of thee;
Yet, though the winds are loud and bleak,
Thou art a welcome month to ne
For thou, to Northern lands. again
The glad and glorious sun dost bring,
And thou hast joined the gentle train,
Ard wear'st the gentle name Of Spring.
And in thy reign Of blast and Storm
Smiles many long, bright sunny day.
When the changed winds are soft and warm,
And heaven puts on the blue of Nay
Then sing aloud the gushing rills,
And the full springs from frost set free,
That, brightly leaping down the hills
Are Just set out to meet the sea-
The years departing beauty h ides,
or wintry storms the sullcn threat;
But in thy ste.nest frown abides
A look of kindly promise yet.
Thou bring'st the hope of those calm skies,
And that sof; time of sunny showers,
When the wide bloom, on earth that lies,
Seems of q brighter world than ours.

representation Of the destruction of Pha-

to fix upon the price. Hogarth became quite
dissatisfied The miser was unwilling to
give more than one-half the real value Of the
picture. At last. llogarth, out Of all pa
tience, agreed to his patrons terms.
Within day or two the picture was rca-

expedition. and Immediately called to exam
inc it. The canvass was painted all over
