Murder.

Henry Lecount, on Tuesday, last week,
at a coHee-house, on the corner Of Canal
and Vine streets, hit William Clinck with
a dray-pin, from the effects Of which be
died on the following Friday, Lecount
was pardoned out OF the Penitentiary by
Cor. Wood only day or two before,
where he had been sentenced for lite,
about four years since, for numbering a
man and throwing him in the canal.
CIinck being the principal witness in the
case, Lecount threatened 10 kill him
whenever an opportunity occurred, and
no sooner was he out of the Penitentiary
than his threat was carried into effect.
This is another proof that Governor
should not interfere between the cuIprit
and the findings Of a competent jury.
On his trial, before the Mayor, his con-
fessions proved the murder premeditated
and deliberate.

elsewhere, to give by his presence that en-

curse and shame OF New England.

Publlo sentiment ProErssaing.

A mass meeting was held on the 22nd
ult., in the good old Democrats county Of
Richland, Ohio, and a series ofresolutions.
passed with great unanimity, which clear.
" show that the people are beginning to
understand their rights, andinieud to VIM
dicate them, demagogues to the contrary
notwithstanding,
In the list we find the following;
Resolued, That the period has arrived,
in our history and experience, when every
lover Of his race, is imperiously called
upon, by every thing sacred in human
life-by every thing hallowed in social
relations--by every thing beautiful in or
derby every thing that is great or good
in the purposes of civil government, to
put forth his utmost exerlious 10 rid the
great State Of Ohio from the traffic in IN
toxicating drinks, by Legislative enact
ment.
ResOtUsd, That, in petitioning our SEN
ators and representatives in legislature
assembled, for the enactment Of a law,
similar in its provisions to that Of the
State of Maine, we do not claim the right
of compelling men TO be moral by legis-
lative enactment-and we ask in return,
that our opponents, in their efforts TO wrap
the mantle OF legality around the traffic id
intoxicating drinks, not to presume that
they have a right to compel auotller e
adopt their standard of morality.
Resolved, That as freemen, in Convention
now assembled, we hold that the true ba-
sis Tor the enactment of the "Maine
Law as well as every kindred act Of
legislation, is found in our relations, not
as nloraHsts but as citizens, and is Just as
broad and solid as the foundations of our
civil government.
ResoiUed, That as citizens of the great
State of Ohio, having surrendered our
natural rights of offence and defence, we
have right TO demand at the hand Of
our Legislators, protection in the enjoy
ment of life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness-that the pursuit Of happiness
includes protection in person and proper
ty, and their concomitant rights.
ReSolUed, That the use and traffic in
intoxicating drinks, actually defeats to a
very great extent, and tends to defeat in
their whole extent, these cardinal purpo-
ses of govemment-and that we most SOL
EMMY and emphatically refuse to ac-
knowledge that the dealer in intoxicating
drinks has, in that character, rights that
are more sacred than the rights of civil
government.
ResoiUed, That the State of Ohio has
promised and pledged protection TO all
It's citizens, even the humblest and weak
est of its members-but by tolerating and
suffering poisonous drinks TO be sold in
our State, she has failed to protect us
against broils and contentious, violence
and strife, assaults, batteries and murder
at every corner of the streets-she has
failed TO protect us against the wretch
who reels home, lawfully drunk, from the
dram shop, reckless of the person anc
rights of friend and foe, of man, or wo-
man OF child.

O. he Son Of Temperanee .

This is the title of a new advocate OF
the cause, Just commenced at Knoxville,
Tennessee, published semi-monthIy, by
Brownlow & O'Bnen, at fifty cents per
anuum in advance. 1t is well printed,
and the number before us is full of the
very best temperance matter, original and
selected. The far,famed Parson Brown
low being one of the Editors, we shall
expect to see the enemies Of the cause
down in Tennessee, handled just as they
deserve to be. The Maine Liquor Law
is warmly advocated by " The Son." We
wish it success.

Annexation,

The Provincial Legislature of New
Brunswick has passed a double distilled
Maine Law, and it is said the Governor
will sign it. II was asserted in the de-
bates, that the number and character OF
the petitioners for the law were without
parallel. This law goes into effect in
June, 1853, thus enabling those who
have capital invested in the piratical bus
mess to Withdraw it without loss. This
Province Of Her Majesty ought to be at
once annexed to the United States.

"Tho Widows Appeal" " to the Legis-
lature of Ohio, published some weeks
ago in the Organ, has been re published
in the city Of New York, in tract form,
and sold at 80 cents per hundred. This
touching and beautiful address TO our
General Assembly Of OFT State is worthy
of such consideration, and it ought to be
widely circulated in all the States, read
and matureIy considered, not only by
Legislators, but by those who make legis-
lators, the people.

0T In Boston, Mass, anticipating the
passaggofthe Maine Law, the city officers
have granted licenses to an army Of men,
who will greatly embarrass its enforce
ment, should the bill pass the Legislature.
Deacon Grant, with other eminent tenn
perance men, repaired to the City Hall.
and entered their solemn protest agains
such summary proceedings. A cores
pondent from Boston says, "These mer
(the city Fathers may be pure as The
yestal virgins in the Temple of Diana
but their public acts are vile enough.

"Honor to Whom Honor .

1t was a custom among the old Romans
to do him particular honors who had saved
the life Of citizen. This was right and
proper, and in perfect accordance with
the Divine teachings How much more
does the world owe to those who prevent
the death, not of one, but of multitudes
To interPose barrier between the un-
timely grave and innocence and lowell
ness is god-like. This is the mission of
the temperance man who is faithful and
true to his cause. Whatever may be the
opinion OF a selfish and wicked world,
God and good men will honor him, who,
by his influence and example, rescues an
eTTing brother from an ignominious death,
or from life of shame. With what
undying laurels should they be crowned
who put out the fires Of the distiIlery, and
close up those avenues OF death and in
fanny that are opened on every side.
Who will share in these glonous achieve
ments and receive the honors of men, and
he benediction of heaven?

More Light.

Late Chief Justice Savage, of New
York, has published lengthy opinion
on the constituiionality and excellency of
the Maine Law. He, like every other
intelligent lawyer or jurist in the land,
who has come out publicly over his own
signature, avows the law constitutional.
We occasionally hear of some learned
gentleman who declares against that
opinion. But, after all, so far as we
know, it is what Madam Rumour says,
and she is a common liar. Show us, or
procure us, the written opinion OF any
respectable Judge or attorney, unfavora-
bic to the constitutiouality of the Maine
Law, and we will see something new.
Pettiiogging lawyers and demagogical
Legislators have ranted and sworn about
the malienable rights of the people being
trampled upon, Or endangered by such a
measure, but their opinions are entitled
to no respect. We apprehend that the
only serious or grave question to be dis
cussed and settled is, would such law
be expedient, and is lis enactment de-
sired by the sovereigns. Politicians, rum
sellers and distillers are afraid to put the
question to the electors. They are afraid
to ask them in New York, eFes lover o
liquor and opposer of the law being un.
willing to submit the question. So in
Rhode Island, so in Ohio, so every where
else, except in Minnesota, and there a
verdict, decided and emphatic, has been
rendered. L" Vor populi, Uor Del j" " the
voice of the people is the voice of God;'
and sooner or later, in some form or
other, this voice will be heard and obeyed.
