porarily defeated, but they are gaining in
strength and numbers daily, and are only
waiting another occasion to give deadly
blow to this adversary Of God and man.
The good seed so abundantly sown in
our State viii yield a rich harvest
Texas will, as appearances clearly indi-
cate, soon pass sentence Of condemna-
tion against the liquor traffic. All the
other States in the Union are moving IN
the same direction. The British Pro-
Vinces in North America are not behind
us. New Brunswick has the law al
ready, and Canada and Novia Scotia are
deeply agitated on the subject. In fact
the question is commanding the atten-
ton Of the British Parliament. The tu-
ture is pregnant with intere-t, and every
individual should be fully acquainted
with the current history of this truly as
tonishing and hopeful reform. We can
not conceive how any intelligent man or
woman can consent to live in this age OF
progress without temperance news
paper. The secular and political press
cannot be relied upon to furnish even an
outline of the facts and events as they
are transpiring.
The present volume of the "Organ" is
nearly completed, and we hope our read
ers are already making arrangements
not only to renew their own subScrip-
tions, but to send large number OF ad-
ditional names. We think we are enti-
tied to 10000 permanent subscribers,
and with one half that number we would
be able to enlarge the sheet and increase
the quantity of interesting and valuable
matter. Give us a chance and we will
keep the people posted up in regard to
the great question Of the age.
Readers we have abundant cause for
thanksgiving, and abundant encourage
ment to press forward, each in his ap-
propriate sphere, until the shout of vic
tory shall go up from every hilltop and
valley in the civilized world.

Solemn Warning.
JOHN T. HUss.

It will be recollected that about one
year ago, Alexander Gardner, James
Miller and Francis Holt were murdered
on Aat.boat, on the Ohio river. The
murderers, Meses and Robert Kelly, were
arrested, tried and sentenced to be hung
at Hawseville, KY. When their doom
was sealed, and the time drawing near
for their execution, Moses made a full
confession, wherein he very touchingly
said 81 have violated, grossly violated
the laws of my country, sinned against
my God, and my physical life must be
the penalty. I must die! die! Dear
friends, do you not know that you, too,
must die ?-that you, too, are sentenced
by the Great Judge of all the earth, and
that some of you may die as soon as
myself? Young man, take warning from
what you see before you, and flee from
bad company. Drinking, gambling, in
dolent companions, have placed me
where you now see me-" Such testi-
mony should sink deep into the heart Of
every individual. There stood the poor
man, just ready to be launched into an
awful and untried eternity, and he told
no idle tale at such an hour. B.

Every encroachment upon the natural
rights Of The citizen, by the civil author.
ties, ought to receive the severe animad-
version Of the press. Unless the press
speaks out boldly and fearlessly, de-
nouncing usurpation, liberty, ere long,
may exist but in name.
We have seen a notice in several
prominent public journals, that a large
cargo Of gun-powder, manufactured in
Connecticut, had been shipped BY the
owner to New York city, and on being
unloaded at the wharf in said city, it had
been seized upon by the civil authori-
ties and the honest citizen deprived Of
his property, besides being subjected to
a fine. Although the facts have been
given to the public, not single paper
that we have seen has denounced the
high-handed course of the city authori-
ties, and maintained the inalienabIe right
Of the citizen to the possession, use and
control of his property. If the cargo
seized had been New England rum in
stead of New England powder, the out
rage would have stirred the patriotic
blood Of Editors throughout the land.
Has not any citizen an inatieSGbLs right
to acquire, possess and protect property!
Does not the Constitution declare that
private property shall be inviOlate, and
that even when taken for the public use,
a compensation shall be first made to
the owner, in money? Again, the Or
ganic law positively asserts that there
shall be no unwarrantdble seizures. How
is it, then, that the authorities of city
will seize cargo of gun-powder, or a
shipment of putrid meat, or obscene
books, or any other articles Of private
property! Has government a right to
say what kind of property man shall
own or dispose of? Let those who as
sert that there is such power, show US
the clause in the Constitution under
which it is exercised. We know that it
has been claimed that man has no
right to deal in counterfeit money, or
own dies and plates for its manufacture;
but there are no exceptions named in
the organic law to the general provisions
above enumerated. And the Constitu-
ton expressly declares that all powers
not therein "delegaled remain with the
people" 1t is asserted by some that no
man has right to possess, use, enjoy or
dispose of his property in such a way as
to endanger or destroy the public health,
life, morals or peace of society; but
where are the constitutional provisions
which authorize such a construction
We hope some of our lawyers who
are connected with the political press,
will explain this subject; but they must
be careful lest, in their explanation, they
give the "Maine Law fanatics" some
arguments in favor Of the constitutions
ality OF their wild scheme. Better be
silent, unless you can make liquor an
exception to any rule you may propose
on this subject. 1t will not do to lay
down the principle that "ths safety Of the
people is the supreme laO," for this would
authorize the seizure of any property,
even that most sacred article, whisky, if
the public good demanded. We pause
for an explanation. We are in a di-
lemma!
