Ills health has suffered greatly on account

The effect Of this is seen in every depart.
meni of our municipal affars. Very few
commitments TO the watch house and House
of Correction occur, our streets arc quiet,
there are no rows or nocturnal Disturbances,
and great numbers of men who formerly
drank hard, aud whose families were conse-
quently poor and miserable, now abstain en-
tirely from the use of strong drinks-at first,
from the difficulty of procuring them, and
afterwards from choice, as they found them
selves better without them.
Our law is gaining strength and friends
every day, as the benefits resulting from il
IRE manifested TO the people. Great num-
bers of persons who were at first opposed to
the law are now among its friends aud sup
porters.
There is no reason why Massachusetts
should hesitate to follow our example in this
particular She has suffered as much from
inienperance ms we have: The suppression
of the rum trade is as important TO her inter-
est rs to ours; her people nre MS intelligent,
and as capable of understanding their true
interests as ours are her people are us joint
supporters of law aud order rs any others,
and would unhesitaiingiy maintain any law,
and enforce it, which the prosperity of the
State aud happiness Of the people should re-
quire.
] therefore hope most earnestly, that the
Old Bay State, may initiate our policy with
oLt delay, aud that she will place upon her
statlite-books our law, or better one, which
will contribute more to the wealth and pros
perity of the State aud to the happiness Of
the people, than any other measure which
can be devised. Very respectfully,
NEAL DOW.

Gov. Johnson and the kidnapping Law.

In 1877, the Legislature of Pennsylvania,
passed law against kidnapping, which among
other provisions, prohibited the use of tho jails
of the Commonwealth, TO the captors of fugi-
tive slaves. Under the influence of Southern
overseor-ship, the legislature of last winter pass
pealing this latter provision, and granting kid
nappers the facilities they required, in the free
use of the jails of the State Governor John
son retained the bill, aud thus defeated the pas
sage of the law. This pockcting of the bill by
Governor Johnson, was the grand evidence of
his abolitionism during the late elcctioneering
campaign, and was used effectively by the dem q.
ocrats, who had the shamclessness to pretend that
they were exclusively the friends of the institu-
tion. Governor Johnson has returned this bill
to the present legislature, with his rcasons.--
Remarking upon these transactions, the Pitts
burgh Gazette has the following:
We are gratilied to learn that he has returned
the bill with his objections. That is right
Why should we succumb any further to that
power which is advancing with too rapid strides.
Five years ago the law now sought to be re-
pealcd was passed by unanimous vote-now
10 Senators are found voting for the repeal,
against ii who voted 10 sustain the Governors
veto. Being less than two-thirds, tho veto was
sustained. Why this great change; Docs it
arise from fear of the reasonable threat of Sc
cessions or can it be traced to that enormous
system of political management which clusters
around our presidential elections, and of which
the south have almost the exclusive control |?
Both arc parts of the same grand system, and
both admonish us that wo are making fearful
strides towards Capitalization, the grave Of free
dom.

War in Mexico.

The war in Northern Mexico is at an end.
The forces of Caravajal have been entirely dis
pcrsed and Caravojal himself is said to be
prisoner in the hands of United States Oficers,
Hc was arrested for violation of the neutrality
laws. Fortune, the tickle jade, iseysn turning
against the slave-holdcrs-withw whom for years
she has been domiciled. ShadIack, Jerry and
the Crafts, hopelessly gone-With cloud of
other witnesses for freedom. The Cuban and
Mexican Fillbustcring failure-and worst of
all no traitors to be hung-and the ghost of the
kidnapping GOrsuoh stalking still unappeased

desperate on the part of the chivalry soOn.-
Their fortunes they must retrieve.
