The Issue Of the Campaign.

The Legislatures OF most OF the States
have either already adjourned, or are
preparing TO do SO. We have now an
opportunity to examine The result of the
conflict and determine whether il has, on
the whole, been a victory or defeat. In
Massachusetts, the enemy have met a
severe check In Connecticut, the gov
ernor has sacrificed himself to do the
rum-sellers a pleasure, and thereby inter
posed years delay to the progress Of
reform. The whole field presents a va
ried aspect: but if any friends OF the
good cause should feel disheartened, we
would ask them if such a result, three
years ago, could have been anticipated
as a defeat; if any of its foes are elated,
we would inquire, whether they would
have looked forward to it as a victory,
The inconsistency ol our opponents is
every day becoming more manifest.
They doubt the justice and expediency
of the Maine Law to suppress intemper-
ance, and yet have no hesitation in main
tanning the propriety Of enactments re-
straining usury and other abuses less

A correspondent of the London Liter

"You will concede, doubtless, Mr.. Edi-
tor, the general proposition that birds
have wings, cats have tails, and men
have no tails; but you are not, perhaps,
aware, Mr.. Editor, that there are birds
without wings, cats without tails, and you
will perhaps grant that it is not very il
logical inference that there may. be
men with. tails. There is a variety of
cats peculiar to the Isle of Man, we'll

alist, had such a cat, which died, I be-
