Es In our paper of to-day will be found
brief sketch of the debate and the final ac-
ton of the Assembly on the liquor BILL
The majority of the Legislature evidently
seem to think the people of the State are in
capable of acting for themselves, and untitled
for self-govemment. A larger number of
the people have asked the Legislature to take
action on the liquor question, during the
present session than ever before on anv 9th
er subject before the Legislature, since the
organization of our State government
Some sixteen or seventeen thousand have
asked for prohibitory law, and some three
or four thousand have demonstrated. In or
der to settle all doubts as to the real wishes
of the people, the friends of the measure
have asked that the question be submitted
10 the ballot box. But the majority of the
Legislature have the etfrontry to tell the peo-
pie they do not know what they want, and
that they shall have no such privilege. The
Legislature have denied the people the rioht
to test this question in the only fair, legiti-
mate and democratic way, without assigning
one good or substantial reason for their ac-
ton. In the language of inspiration it may
be truly said, the people have asked for
bread, but the Legislature have given them
a stone.
No intelligent friend of prohibitory IL
quor law desires its passage, unless it be de-
manded by majority of the people.

\. Y. CRYSTAL PALAcE.-The New
York Journal of Commerce says that owing
to the untavorable state of the weather during
the past month, and also some delays occa-
stoned in procuring supply of materials.
the Crystal Palace will not probably be in
readiness for the reception of articles, before
the first of June next. In the mean time
boarding houses, and every other kind of
structure intended for use during the fair, are
rapidly being erected in the vicinity of the
Palace.

Es- We cheerfully publish the following
communication from the Rev. J. Hinton,
pastor Of the Baptist church in this city, 1t
is due to the reputation Of the individual of
whom he speaks.
Mr.. EDITOR Allow me through the
columns OF your paper, to inform the ladies
who have attended the lectures of DR.. Bar
ret, and also the inhabitants of Kenosha gen
orally, that having spent the greater part of
three days in Milwaukee for the purpose of
instituting inquiries as to the truth Of certain
reports which have been freely circulated in
this city, with the design to prejudice the
public against Dr. Barrett, l am pleased to
be able to say, that found he was not only
undeservng of such calumnies, but that he
has the esteem and confidence of all there,
who are acquainted with him.
| could have obtained testimonials Of the
most satisfactory character, from some of the
influential families in Milwaukee; but find
ing only one opinion entertained respecting
him, deemed it superhuous to bring them.

must either be inclined to dishonesty or wan

things as peculiar to kenosha County, which
he knows, or ought to know, may be said
with equal proprioty of many other coun-
ties-Walworth not excepted. The people
Of Walworth county have been solicited to
lend the credit Of the county to aid in the
building of the Racine and Mississippi rail
road; but it is generally understood that the
majority refuse to do any such thing. So
the people of Racine County have been
strongly urged to lend the credit of that
county for the same road, but many Of the
towns Of the county have demonstrated against
the measure. Does this argue difficulty

HAYTI-With the government of Hayti
the United States have no diplomatic rela-
tons, not even consul to look after our
commercial interests. 1t is not because our
trade with that county will not warrant the
expense Our imports amounted in 1850
to million and half of dollars, and our
exports to nearly as much, which is about
double the value Of our trade with Russia,
where we maintain a minister plenipotentia-
ry. The value of our commerce with Hayti
is, in fact, greater than that of our entire
trade with Prussia, Sweden, Norway and
Turkey put together, in each of which coRn-
tries our government maintains expensive
missions. The reason why We have no di-
plomatic relations with Hayti is too mean
for public utteranco-a standing jest upon
our boosted declaration that all men are
equal.

The SuLrAN-We copy the follow
lowing item respecting the Sultan from
the New York Evening Post
The present Sultan is the first Turk
ish monarch who has not murdered
his brother, This dangerous relative
lives, and is regarded as the head of
the old Turkish party. The Sultan
abhors war and detests capital punish
ment. He has great fondness for
music, but, after learning it all his
life, he has only been sble to play one
tune on the piano; it is a march, which
the Sultan obligingly plays for every
body on all occasions. He is also very
fond of Champagne, which he drinks,
under the pretence that the Koran
only forbids fermented drinks.
