dCLS ABOUT Iu6 MdluS Law.
Mr.. EDIToR :-Inasmuch as the opposers
of the Maine Law are busy circulating all
manner of falsehoods and misrepresenta-
tions, for political effect. permit me to rake
a brief statement of FACTS, that your rea-
ders may act understandingly in reference
to it.
1t is a Fact that our Maine farmers can
make cider, sell it while it is sweet, make
vineger, keep any quantity for their own
use, drink it or give it to others as much as
they please-and the law cannot harm
them. There is no trouble with our farmers
on that account.
1t is a Fact that no mans House can be
searched, however much liquor he may have
there, unless it can be proved by Uoter
that liquor has been sold in the house, to
the knowledge of the owner, within month
of the time Of making complaint.
1t is a Fact that each town and city is
authorized to provide for tie sale Of liquors
for medicinal and mechanical purposes.
1t is a Fact that the law is decidedly and
increasingly popular in Maine as shown by
the recent elections, as nearly all the towns
and cities have triumphantly elected men
in favor of it. +. YATES.

The PeouniarY Argument.

1t is useful TO cast the eye back over
human history and see how the pecuniary
argument has, age after age, been ar
rayed against the moral. No matter what
the craft may be, if ii shall degrade and
destroy its millions, if "by this craft we
have our wealth, !" it must not be medled
with. Wilberlorce met no such foe as
this. He had the British conscience with
him. but this mine of wealth in Africa
must not be touched.
A member of the Massachusetts legis-
Ialure in the late debate, alluded to this
in the following language, which is wor
thy of the consideration of every Ameri-
can Citizen:
"When the propositions to regulate or
restrain the African Slave Trade were
made in the British Parliament-these
objections of "property" and the wants
of commerce were made with great ear
nestness. Some of the defences of that
trade are so analogous to the deiences oi
this rum trade, that | will quote from the
debates:
Col. Tarleton said: "These enlightened
philanthropists (meaning Wilberforce
and his leagues) had discovered that it
was necessary for the sake Of humanity
and for the power of the nation that the
African slave trade should be prosecuted.
Now, how did this language sound! 1t
might have done in the 18th century
when all was bigotry and superstition ;
but let not mistaken humanity furnish
a pretext forany injurious attack on prop
erty or character, 1t would annihilate a
trade whose exports amounted to $780,
900 annually, and which employed 100
vessels and more than 5000 seamen. II
would destroy the West India trade,
which was Of the annual value f6, 600.
009, and which employed I6O, 900 tons
Of shipping"
Lord John Russell said: ''Ele must vote
against the abolition as visionary delu.
sion.' Whenever bill of ,Viss regulation
should be brought forward, no man
would be more ready than himself to lend
his support" Please to observe, it was
regulation then, as it is regulation now.
The representatives from the city of Lon
don said 1.-THE trade, lift were abolished,
would render the City Of London ONE

The Maine Law in Europe.

We are pleased, says the American
Temperance Union, to find that our Tenn
perance friends abroad are making them
selves acquainted with the Maine Law,
and becoming sensible of its value.
Distant as may be the prospect of its en-
actment by a British Parliament, there
will nothing forward matters in the king
dom so much as an agitation about it.
No temperance weapon has so inspired
the friends and appalled, the enemies OF
the cause. An extended notice of the
law is given in the Scottish Temperance
Review for March, which ends With the
following approbatory paragraph. 1t
must be highly gratifying 10 Mr.. Dow:
awe have read this wise and well
made law, and have listened TO its prac-
tical details with unmingled pleasure. We
are quite sure it will do ten times more
good than our sanitary Improvements,
health OF towns, poor law amendment
bills, and all such like will achieve.
When our Legislators gather more sense
and courage, we trust that they will follow
the example Of Maine, and like her
break the eggs of the cockatrice, in place
of Matching them, and then hunting the
venomous brood. In the mean time, le
all the teetotallers exert themselves for the
spread of our principles, that our people
may not only be prepared to acquisce il
such law, bht like the common people
tile UotaS of Maine, demand it, and ther
itcannot be withheld from them, in spite
of all that interest, appetite, and corrup
custom may say to the contrary"
The National Chronicle (London) fol
April givesan Epitome ofthe Maine Law
and Gov. Briggs speech, at Abingdon, in
favor Of it.

ANOTHER MURDER.-On yesterday evening
middle aged gentleman named Peter Coyle-
of Irish parentage-was walking down Ludlow
street, and at the corner OF the landing scci-
dentally stepped upon some newly laid brick
Joseph Allis who was overseeing the job, took
umbrage at the accidental step Of Coyle. Angry
words followed, Coyle gathered two peices Of
brick and placed himself in an attitude to de-
fend himself in case Allis should make an ef-
fort to assault him. Allis being somewhat un-
der the influence of liquor, aud powerful man,
rushed upon Coyle, and threw him with such
force upon the ground as to break his neck. 1t is
said that he even kicked him after he was down.
He was arrested by Constable Curd, and taken
before Esquire Getzendanner. His txamina-
ton will take place at 2 O'Clock this afternoon.
The following is the Coroner's inquest
INQUEST No. l79.--Was held by A. W. Pat
tersou, Coroner, on the dead body Of Peter
Coyle, whose dead body was found lying on
the southwest corner Of Ludlow street and the
landing on the 18th day Of May, a. D., 1852.
Verdict Of jnry--Came to this death by iniu-
ries inflicted BY Joseph Alice, causing immedi
ate death.
