Temperanee proyements.


The advocates Of the temperance cause In this
State and throughout New York and Massachu-
sets are agitating reform in the present license
laws for the sale Of intoxicating drinks. The
movement appears TO be simultaneous in each of
the States named. The reform is based upon
the Maine liquor law. This law is very sweep
ing i'll its character, and prohibits both the manu-
facture and sale, in the State, of intoxicating
liquors Of any kind. 1t may be sold only for
medical or mechanical purposes, by an agent APP
pointed by the city or town authorities. Any
infringement of this law by the sale of liquors
is fine of ten dollars for the first offence, twenty
dollars for the second, and any subsequent offence
fine and Imprisonment for at least three months.
A violation by manufacturing of spirituous or in
toxicating liquors is one hundred dollars for the
first offence, two hundred dollars for the second,
and any subsequent offence two hundred dollars
fine and four months Imprisonment. No person
engaged in the unlawful traffic is allowed to sit
jury in any case arising from the violation Of
the law. On the complaint of any three persons,
under oath, that liquors are kept, intended for
sale, the sheriff or city marshal is authorized,
with search-warrants, to enter any premises, to
search for and to seize upon such liquors. Unless
the owner can show that they are Of foreign pro-
duction, and imported under the laws of the
United States, they are to be forfeited and de-
stroyed.
This is the law which the temperance people
wish to have substituted for the present license
regulations, which allow any and everybody to
sell liquor by paying certain price into the State
treasury price 80 small that dram-shops have
sprung up at every corner, and intemperance has
very much increased within few years. Public
meetings are now being held by the various tenn
perance societies, male and female Some Of the
churches are moving in the matter, and every
effort will be made to produce an influence upon
the legislature favorable to the object. In Mas
sachusetts the petitions are signed by hundreds
of thousands of persons, and carried in process
sion to the legislative halls. In New York
monster petition is being prepared also; and,
from present appearances, Pennsylvania is likely
to follow the example of these States. The move
ment is an important one, and its progress will
be watched with interest in this State, especially
as it is publicly avowed that concerted action at
the ballotbox will be resorted to, if other means
fail. PHI. Ledger.

Russian Aggression.

The spread of the influence of Russia towards
western Europe is not more alarming to the more
liberal governments than her aggressions have
been extensive on the eastern border of the con-
tinent In the absorption Of Finland from Swe-
den, the partition Of Poland, the encroachments
upon Turkey, and the gradual acquisition of
large portions of the territory of that power,
through conquests and wars, Russia has remained
true to the character marked out for her by her
great founder. In Asia, as it has been in Europe,
her agrressons extend to Circassia, though
failing yet to suhjugate the brave and warlike
tribes inhabiting that region, and advance over
the Caspian sea towards Persia; and at this
very time We. hear Of her intrigues in that
country to secure the downfall of the court and
the nation thus to enable her to stride towards
India. The East has, from the foundation of the
Russian empire up to the latest period of time,
been golden apple to the eyes of the Musco-
vite rulers and they have all, with the exception
of the weak Paul, adhered to the line of policy
laid down by the illustrious Peter. For the last
sixty years, especially, had that power made gi-
gantic strides towards the conquest of her neigh
bors in Europe and Asia; and we see the effect of
her policy at this day in vast, extending empire
embracing 81 000, 900 Of people; and yet, instead
of hating, the word is. Go on
In his memorable will, Peter the Great has
transmitted to his successors the course of policy
he wishes them to observe. How well and truly
they have adhered to his advice, it is only neces-
sary to examine the past and present power and
conquests of that government to see. In clause
9th Of his remarkable will, Peter the Great says:
