The demonstration in New York, in
honor Of Capt. Irgraham for his gallant
conduct in the Kosta affair, came of
with great eclat, at the Metropolitan
Hall, last week. Speeches were made
by John p. Hale and several others, and
much enthusiasm, especially among the
European population, prevailed. 1t is

New Mourn TO THE Missouri RIVER.
The Missouri River during recent
ffcshet opened for itself new outlet in.
to the Mississippi. 1t has succeeded in
cutting across point orland lying about
half mile above where it has run OF
late years. At the last accounts, two
steamers had passed through the new
chute, and this may now be regarded as
the main channel of the Missouri.

"a Little Tight"

We demonstrated with a young
man of fine promise about indulging
in the social glass. He replied, 81
do not drink enough to hurt me !;
when I find myself going into excess,
Twill quit right square off" We told
him that we were not ignorant of the
fact that he had been drunk. In a
laughing way he responded, "Oh, well
| have been little tight two or three
times, but that is nothing" Day by
day we saw the demon winding thread
after thread of the cruel bond of ap-
petite about him, and he still thought
there was no danger. At length he
walked up to the unwelcome truth that
he was a drunkard. We appealed
again to our young and beloved friend,
and he declared that he could not re-
strain himself, that he had no power
to resist the tempter. That friend is
now in the grave of the drunkard.
Oh, young man, just forming habits of
life, we beseech you pause and reflect

Prospects in Ohio.
VIM. BREMIGAM, G. S.

The friends of Temperance in our
noble State, have every thing to en-
courage, and nothing to discourage
them. The ball has been set in mo-
ton, and to expect to stay it short of
a complete triumph of the cherished
principles of the hardy Buckeye sons,
is as irrational as TO expect that the
puny arm of man could stay the sun in
his majestic course. The mist which
the enemies Of temperance have hith
erto caused to rise up and obscure its
brightness, are beginning to sink to
the earthly grossness whence they
sprang, and the bright light Of truth
is giving our people everywhere to see
that their laws must be framed in ac-
cordance with the principles of justice
to all, and not moulded and fashioned
to suit the whims of few interested
persons. Realizing this, the people
are beginning to see the necessity of
acting through the ballot-box. They
have in vain petitioned our Legisla-
ture for a law to meet their wishes
upon this subject. To expect men,
however, who spend their nights in
potations Of bacchanalian revelry, to
rise from their festive board, and with
distempered brain enactpure and strin-
gest laws upon the subject of Temper.
ance, is absurd. Next winter, we will
have the pleasure of seeing our Legis.
lative Halls adorned with men Of
known purity, and then we may ex.
pect wholesome laws. This result il
inevitable. The PEOPLE have said it
and they mean what they say. We
receive hundreds of letters aImos
weekly, from every part of the State
every one of which breathe the righ
spirit, and show conclusively that tn,
seed has taken deep root, and that tho
days of the reign of King Alcohol ar,
drawing to an end. .

The Rhode Island Liquor Law---
Judge Curtis's Decision.

Judge Curtis's Decision.
The public has been led to suppose
from remarks appearing in the news
papers Of the day, that the Liquor
Law Of Rhode Island had been de- i
clarcd inconsistent with the Conslitus
ton Of the State or Of the United =
States, and its entire nullity proclaim
ed by Judge Curtis, Of the U. s. Su-
preme Court. This is said by a'wri-
ter in the Providence Journal to be-
erroneous. That writer SAYS: Judge
Curtis does not declare, or even init
mate, that the law is in conflict with
the Constitution of the United States.
He does not declare or intimate that
the main principle Of the law is in
conflict with the Constitution Of our
own State. He simply declares that
some Of the processes by, which the
end is reached, under the present law,
are in conflict with certain articles of
our State Constitution.
The decision does not touch man.
ufacturers of spirits, and no man is
safe in presuming that the law, or any
part Of it is overthrown.
As in all questions Of conflict be-
tween the Constitution of the State
and the acts Of the Legislature, are
equally within the jurisdiction Of the
Judges of the State Courts, as of those
of the United States, and as the Su-
preme Court of the State has unani-
mously declared the law to be consti-
tutional, it would appear that SO far
from being nullifed, the law is sus-
tanned to the extent that a breach Of
its provisions can scarcely be commit
ted with safety.-Christian Press.
Judges of Courts, and Governors,
are waking up the people to the con.
sideration Of the liquor traffic, most
gloriously.
The Secular Press, by giving their
versions OF decisions, are exclung
their readers to inquiry, and the more
searching the inquiries, the more sure
ly will the right and truth prevail.
We have not yet been fortunate
enough TO see the decision of Judge
Curtis, but we apprehend that it is
substantially as given above. If SO,
this will not hurt very badly.
Whatever his decision may be, we
do not fear the ultimate result. The
great peoplein this country govern by
divine right, and their will is omnipo-
tent, however long baffied and thwart-
ed by their servants 'clothed in lit
tie brief authority"

Mas Meeting ~ COIumbug, OHIO.

Mass Meeting at Columbus, Ohio.
Another grand demonstration ofthe
friends of temperance took place at
Columbus, yesterday, at the head of
which we observe the names Of some
of the most influential men Of that
city.
The object of this meeting was, to
organize a TEMPERANCE LEAGUE for
the county Of Franklin, with Branches
in the several townships, and to take
such other measures as may be deem
ed advisable to bring the subject of
prohibitory Legislation fully and fairly
before every voter in the county, with
view of securing the election of
members to the next Legislature pledg-
ed to support law similar in eff
cheney to the Maine Liquor Law.
This is most praiseworthy move,
and we wish to see similar one in
every county in the State. This is
the only way to fully carry out the
letter and spirit of the late resolutions
adopted at Columbus, Our strength
cannot be brought to bear upon this
subject, unless we are united. To
effect this, thorough organization in
every township must be had. In this
case, the political parties will have
to give us such men as are in this re-
spect worthy Of our suffrage, or we
can forthwith nominate them our
selves. This win be our only altern-
ative. Then let the example set by
our good brethren at Columbus, be
followed by all the other counties of
our State, and we will present a phal-
anx at the next election, at once for
midable and victorious.

sumptuary Laws,

tention is being directed to the OUT
RACES and villainies Of the liquor traf-
fc, the friends Of this traffic resort to
every kind of subterfuge, and give
currency to every possible opinion, to
save it from the gathering wrath Of
popular sentiment. 1t is charged that
the probibitory law of Maine and other
States, is of sumptuary character,
and men who ought to know better
have publicly spoken Of it as such,
for the purpose Of giving these laws a
bad name. What are sumptuary lawsY
Blackstone says, they are laws
against luxury, and extravagant ex-
penses in dress, diet and the like"
In the reign Of Edward the Third, in
England, there was law passed which
declared that no man should be served
at dinner or supper with more than
two courses, except upon some great
holiday, when he might have three.
In the reigns Of Edward the Fourth
and Henry the Eighth, laws were
H passed against wearing piked shoes
and long coats. These were sumptu-
ary laws, which Webster defines to be
"such as restrain or limit the expenses
of the citizen in apparel, food, furni-
ture, &C."
Do these definitions fit the Maine
Law? 1t does not prescribe what a
man shall eat, or what he shall drink,
or wherewithal he shall be clothed, or
what he shall not eat, drink or wear.
Any man or woman in Maine may
get as drunk as Chloe every day, and
be as beast-like as the vilest enemy of
legal enactment can be, and this law
does not reach his case. 1t simply
says what he shall not make an arti-
Gle of commerce, he shall not sell in
toxicating poisons. We have a law in
Ohio against selling arsenic without
first putting given amount of color
ing matter into the e-poison. This does
not prohibit any citizen (if he is fool
enough to do it) from taking any guam
tity of it into his stomach.
i Laws are enacted and enforced
against selling tainted meat in market;
/ yet man may feast upon carrion to
his hearts content.
I During the prevalence of epidemics,
it has been customary to prohibit the
sale of cucumbers, fish, cabbage, &c,
&C., in order that the public health
may not be unnecessarily periled; yet
any man who chooses to indulge in
these Iururies, and run the risk of be-
ing handed over to the undertaken and
sexton, can do so without violating
the statute. Temptations induce
ments shall not be held out to men to
buy and use such things as are known
to induce or aggravate infestion.
So, man may live and die in fes-
tering, interminable nuisance, but he
shall not expose others to the same
f He may have for his own qualification
obscene books and histories, but he
shall not peril the morals of the
neighborhood, by offering them fol
, sale.
There is a wide difference between
, using thing ourselves and selling j
to others.
