The Temperance Victory.


PROVIDENCE. Saturday, May 8, 1852
My DEAR GREELEY Victory follows
victory-and to-day the white banner of final tr-
umph floats over our Temperance headquarters
a he MAINE LAW in all its purity, strength and
strngency, is enacted Ii passed both Houses in
a single day-the House by AZ Ayes to % Noes;
the Senate without division Thrtytwo Wings
and fifteen Democrats voted for the bill seven
Wings and sixteen Democrats voted against it.
This was in the House. If the Ayes and Noes
had been called in the Senate, and the members
had voted according to their well known conyc-
tions. the majority would have been six certainly
and possibly eight or ten. As it was, only two or
three yentured to raise their voices against the BILL
You know the history of our effort for the
Maine Law. No general movement in favor of it
was made until after the October session Of the
Assembly. Then we entered the field for petit
tions. and procured Twenty-Five thousand names, in
a population of 10000. The petitions were pre-
sented at the January session, and bill was intro
duced. but was defeated. We appealed to the
People. and by an effort which is never made save
when the People are in earnest, secured an As
sembly that could be relied upon. We defeated
VIM. Beach Lawrence, the champion of the rum
party. by a majority of $40, while the candidate
for Governor on the same ticket received major
itv of 1884, The Wings, in a majority of the
towns. nominated men for the Assembly who were
favorable to the law, and in this way secured
majority in the House. Even OF tho Demo-
crats elected, seren voted against Dir. Law
renee for Lieut.. Governor, when the vote was
taken in Grand Committee.
But never mind all this. We hare got the Lar,
and that is glory enough for one day. This Is not
all: We shall keepn. 1t cannot be repealed, BY
any party. Still more HriA be fnIorced. We
have got the men to enforce it. Governor Allen,
standing at their head, declares that it shall be re-
spected in its letter and spirit The Sheris, with
single exception, for Newport County, are friends
of it and Allen declares it shall be executed in
Newport, if it requires the Military of all the other
counties to put it through. The Sheriff of Provl-
dence County is whole police force in himself,
and was among the first to advocate the law.
Let the other States rejoice with us and take
courage. The A" Star in the East" travels west
ward. The timidty of the report ofthe Connections
Wings as displayed in the late Election in that
State, all that prevents the tide of Temperance
legislation from lashing your own boundaries. On-
ward is the cry. Yours truly, C. W.

We had the pleasure of attending meet

at the Court House on Tuesday of court
week, for the purpose o! expressing public
sentiment in relation to the Cheraw and
Darlington Rail Road. Major M:FARLANE

the enterprise. assisted by Coils. McKNIGuT
and WiIsoN, who also spoke in favor botl,
of the Cheraw and Darlington Rail Road,
and the North Eastern Road. Col. Me-
KNIGHT was friend to the Eastern Road,
not only because it would give the Dis.
trict OF WIllamsburgh convenient comnu-
nicaton will, Charleston, but because he
believed it would unite and bring together
the Eastern portion Of tie State by uniting
their commercial interest. Gen. IARLLEE
spoke in favor of the Cheraw and Darling.

Eastern Road. He said, that the project
of building road from Manchester to
Wilmington was, at the beginning scoff1d
oS ~ 'tC vi CllTlCStOT, Dut now
that there is every probability tho road
will be speedily completed, the people Of
Charleston are crying ou,s that the North
Eastern Road must be built to coun,cract
the effect upon trade, and which the
Wilmington and Manchester Road mus,
have. Gen. HARLLEE went on TO saw. that
so soon as the Road should he completed to
Wilmington, the Wilmington ana Man
chester Rail Road could compete with tho
North Eastern Road by shipping all the
cotton beyond the Pee Dec to Wilmington,
from which it would 90 to New York for
less than il could be carried hv anv
other route. He also gave some informa-
ton as TO the progress made upon The Will
mIngton and Manchester Road, giving the
most fa'tering prospects of its early com.
pletion.
Here we will add, The Wilmington and
Manchester Company could have secured
The services OF no one whose heart is more,
thoroughly interested in the enterprise over
which they have placed him.

we took occasion in our last issue to al
lude TO the improper scene which occurred
in the United States Senate between Mr..

tween FooTE and BENTON, (when FoorE
advanced in line parallel, and hence nev-
or could reach him,) have taken an occa.
sion to make demonstration which would
lay in the shade any pretentions entertain
ed by tho Senate. MIR. Wilcox made n
statement in relation 10 parties in Missis-
sippi which BRowN asked him to explain,
in doing so Wilcox repeated what he had
before said, adding that any one who
disputed it was liar; BRowN then asked
# he intended to call him liar, the answer
to this was such that BRowN felt himself
called upon 10 start game of fisticuffs,
and thus it is that the Representatives of
tho country are spending their time quar-
reling and fighting to the detriment of their
constituents and their own disgrace.
One Of the members of the com.
mittee rose to reply to Mr.. Stanton,
but Mr.. Brown, of Mississippi, who
had obtained the floor, refused to yield
it, and made speech of an hour in
defence of the Southern Rights party
and condemnatory of the Union party.
Mr.. Wilcox, of Mississippi, followed
and after prefacing the remarks he was
about to make with profession he Of
friendship towards his colleague, went
on with some remarks, in which he al

PRoposED New SrArE.-Thc Leg
islaturc Of Wisconsin arc dclibcrating
upon new memorial to congress for
territory compromising that portion
OF Wisconsin lying north of the forty
fifth degree ofuorth latitude, and that
portion of Michigan laying west of
Lake Nlichigan.-This territory, it
is alleged, issNcry much isolated from
the States TO which it is attached, and
has separate anu individual interests
peculiarly its own, which, under the
present organization, do not receive
the fostering caro- of its several Gov
ernmcnts, which the best interests of
the country require. The separation
OF that territory, it is thought, would
result in no disadvantage to the
States from which it is proposed
to dctach it. which would be more
than compensated by the augmented
commercial and political advantages OF
adding another State to the North
west.

y DISCOVERY IN SURGEnY.-A
Prussian named Avan is said to have
made Il discovery in surgery that is
exciting considerable interest in the
scientific circles of Berlin. 1t is the
application of chlorine to relieve
pain. Unlike cllloroiorm, it can be
used without the least danger to
the patient, and is very cilectual in
its operation. From the account, a
small quantity OF the fluid (from ten
t" twenty drops) is dropped on the
part effected, or on lint bandage
slightly moistcncd with water, and
then applied, and I'LL bound up in oil
silk, and n linen band. After from
two to ten minutes the part becomes
in>cn,iblc, and the pain is no longer
felt, whether it be from rheumatic,
nervous or other disorders After
time it returns again, but usually
weaker, and with several applications
it is often relieved. The discovcrcr
has presented memorial on the
subject to the Academy at Paris.

The capabilities of this district for the

some extent, with each other, in the

and other schemes for the benefit OF
the old States. The letter adds:
"Ihis is the compromise of this

promiser of Kentucky in Ills seat in
Congress, he would probably carry it
into successful execution. The West

take the public domain, and the domcs-

on this scheme Presidents are to be
made in succession for number of
