the municipal authorities strongin vest.
ed interests, still hold out. The doubt
was, at first, whether law so st!in-
gent could stand-whether the second
year would not undo the work of the
first. 1t appears not. Experienced
American citizens believe that it would
now be impossible to get the law re-
pealed.
The first sentiment of Englishmen
on hearing this story seems to be
amazed that citizens will submit to
such law. They feel that there
would be danger to cur liberties if such
a law could pass our Parliament and
Throne tomorrow. No doubt: but
this is because we do not, as a people,
desire t. If the Americans were not
self-governed, they would rebel sooner
than admit of Legislation so stringent.
But they are selEgoverned, and there
in, lies the chief interest of the whole
matter. They decreed for themselves
first, the universal education which
disguised them with drunkenness, and
warned them to save the next genera
ton from it; and they next decreed,
the exclusion of what they consider a
physical, moral and social poison. 1t
has been the act as of spirited man
who, while disposed to resent dictation
as to his personal habit, imposes law
on himself, and submits thus to disci
pline which he would spurn if it came
upon him in any other way. Our fel-
low-citizens cannot but watch with
deep interest the development of this
very strong transatlantic experiment.

If we knew all that some advocates
of temperance have suffered, we might
well pardon enthusiasm. They have
felt the curse--they have endured the
pain-they know the monster. No,

siasm; the wonder should rather be,
that it is not greater.

HALL OF LIBERTY, STAR DIVISION, No. COG.
Bro. CLARK Since my return from
the Grand Division the boys have
cheered up, and we are going the
whole figure. The last rum shop in
our township Liberty, has been vol
unfairly closed, and the proprietor
thereof, has placed himself under our
standard. Every night of meeting
our little band increases. We now
number over so. Last summer we
raised our flag, and on its folds in
scribed the motto "SoNs OF TEMPER
ANoE, ONWARD" We have nailed it
to the mast, and are determined to 90
onward, and "never give up the ship"
Since my return the following resolu-
ton has been passed.
Resolved, That we will not vote for
any man to any Office of honor, profit,
or trust, that either makes, buys, or
sells, or uses intoxicating drinks.
There is no use in doing things by
halves This is no time to parley.
Commence NOW at the root, instead
of cutting once in a while at the
branches; and the monster Alcohol
will soon be laid low.
In haste, fraternally, yours, &c,

The TEMPERANCE PREss.-The Mw
York Tribune makes these judicious
remarks
"We cannot close without urging
the trends of Temperance in all sec.
tions to give liberal support to their
local temperance papers. They have
greatly improved in character within
a few years, and are now among our
best periodicals. Better bring up a
son in the weekly perusal of such a
paper and leave him no property, than
to bequeath him a farm coupled with
habit of drinking alcohol, however
moderate his tippling."

Retaliatory Justice.

Capital executions occur in Turkey
either as an application of the ancient
lertalioniS, of blood for blood, or as
the prescribed penalty of the State for
certain crimes. The solemn applica-
ton of the law of blood-revenge took
place last month at Rhodes. The bare
narration of the facts constitutes an
eloquent Illustration of oriental GUS
toms. Askiti, a Greek, excited by
jealousy, assassinated with dagger,
Deacan Yanies, one of the most re-
spectacle inhabitants Of the small
Island of Khaki. After a few days
the murderer was discovered, was
brought prisoner to the capital town
of Rhodes, tried and condemned to
death. The sentence was confirmed
by the Government at Constantinople,
as the regulations require. On the
day appointed for the execution, As
kit was brought to the palace anu
found himself standing in the presence
of the wife and the nearest relations
of the man he had murdered. The
Pasha then asked the wife and the re-
Iations whether they would spare the
life of the guilty man, to do which,
according to Turkish law, is still in
the power of the aggrieved relatives.
They answered unanimously that they
required "BIood for blood" With
out farther delay, therefore the Gov
ernor caused the criminal to be led
to the great quay of the city, in pres
ence of all the people, the widow and
the relations of the deceased following
him. The officers in charge then put
into the hands of the relatives the ia.
tai knife which was to be used on the
occasion. They received it, and un-
hesitatingly passed it over to the exc
cutioner, declaring, by this formality,
that they accepted the responsibility
of deed of justice which was about to
take place. In few seconds the
blade, with the force of strong arm,
fell upon the bended neck of Askiti,
and his head rolled upon the pavement
at the first blow. 1t is more than
twenty years since the people of
Rhodes had witnessed a similar execu-
ton.

DEAR SIR: When left Ohio, which
was one year ago, you was publishing
the Organ of the Temperance Reform.
My object in writing now is to ascer-
tain whether you are still publishing
that paper, as l have come to the con-
clusion that can not comfortably ex-
ist any longer without some kind of a
temperance paper, to assist us in our
good begun work. We have lately
organized the first temperance society
in the county, and | don't know but it
.is the only one within hundred miles.
Dram drinking is very fashionable
here, as our community is made up by
emigrants from all parts of the Union,
and too many seem to have left the
greatest part of their morality behind.
Z believe it is generally so with from
tier settlement, but, sir, l have two lit
tie boys growing up, and if you are a
parent, you can understand better
than l can express what my feelings
were, when | found that | must raise
my children amid the evil influences
of a drinking community. So deter
mined to make an effort, and see if
we could not do something for our
favorite reform. We called a meet
ling and had full house, not because
| the people felt so much interest in the
cause, but because it was such nov
city to hear female speak in public.
We succeeded beyond our most SAN
guine expectations, for we got upwards
of thirty names to the pledge the first
evening, and now we have upwards of
eighty, and they are composed of the
most respected part Of our community.
Now, we are anxious to keep up the
interest that is manifested in behalf of
the cause, and if you are still publish
ing the Organ, please send me a few
numbers, and l will try to get club
subscription for it, and if | cannot,
will send a subscription for myself at
least, for | feel the need of assistance
in the great work to be done in Iowa.
"The harvest is great and the labor
ers are few" but we are determined
to keep doing what little we can, and,
if possible, contribute our mite in crea-
ting that public sentiment which will,
at no distant day, we trust, secure
some legal enactment to Danish the
traffic of intoxicating drinks from this
young and promising State.
Yours, in the bonds of the Temper
ance Reform,

PLYMOUTH, RichIand County,

April 25th, 1858.
Bro. CLARK. The monster still
rules here, but there has recently been
a rally among the friends of temper
ance, which, we trust, will result in
an abdication of his power. There
was an effort made last year by the
Sons, who have an organization in the
place, to suppress tipping houses, un-
der the provisions of the old law, and
several prosecutions were commenced
before the Mayor, (who was tenn
perance man which proved failures,
since when the doggeries have been
in the ascendant. At our municipal
election this spring, the question of
temperance and anti-temperance was
raised, on which the largest vote ever
polled was called out. The temper
ance men elected their Mayor and
council by vote of nearly two to one.
Soon after the new council was or
ganized, it was proposed at a meeting
of our Division, to get up petition
among the citizens, asking the coun-
Gil to adopt an ordinance to prohibit
the sale of intoxicating drinks as a
beverage, within the corporation.
Accordingly, petitions were drafted,
and put into the hands OF Commit
tee of three ladies to circulate. The
result of their labor was such as to
make glad the hearts of all who wish
to see the food of moral death, which
now pervades our land abated. Out
of a population Of less than 1000
inhabitants, they obtained the names

To the Joint Committee Of the Legislature to
winch were referred the various petitions for and
against the repeal of the present "Lquor Law"
The undersigned, legal voter of the city of Wor-
ceser begs leave respectfully submit the following
statements, as having an important bearing on the
character Of portion of these petitions:
That by the statement of the Chairman of your
Committee, the petitions for the repeal Of the laws
aforesaid, purport to proceed exclusively from legal
Uoters Of the towns in which they reside.
That among SAID petitions, there is one purporting
to proceed from William r. TPesson and 602 Others,
Of Worcester.
That said petition has been carefully examined by
competent persons, citizens OF Worcester land by
them compared with the noting list of this city.
That said petition, instead of comprising 603 sig.
natures, appears to comprise only 532 signatures.
That OF these 532 signatures, there are fue which
are recorded twice, thus further reducing the NUM-
Der Of distinct names to 527.
That Of these 527 Names there are to be found on the
uoting list Of this city only 27S.
mat the 249 remaining names appear to belong
almost universally to persons not known TO reside in
this city; although there are among them the names
oil t'co MINORS residents Of this city, one of which is
recorded twice.
That some of these names are written so unntelli-
gibly to render il almost impossible to suppose
them actual names; and that in at least one case,
only the initials are given.
That, in any case, the said petition Of William r.
WesSon and others, contains less than half the number
ofnames Of legal noters Of Worcester, ,olch has been
claimed as appearing upon it.
All which is respectfully submitted to the consid-
Grafton of the JOINT Committee, by

much excitement in California, is Mexican and is
said TO be only nineteen years Of age. He has an
organized band under his command, and his rob-
berries and murders equal in audacy and atrocity
anything of the kind which s recorded in the annals
