The steamship Australian, from Sydney, whose
arrival was announced by telegraph per Arctic; has
dates from the Cape of Good Hope to 1st December,
eleven days later than previous adyices The general
scope OF the news appears to be, that the war is
drawing to a termination: but whenever the troops
are temporarily withdrawn, predatory bands of the
enemy spring up and make successful inroads into
the colony proper.
In the meantime, Governor Cathcart had arrived at
the Orange river sovereignty, with 1000 men, and
bad issued the following proclamation;--
Know all chiefs, and OF all classes nd +r,o ,.,

A Candid Admission.

At the recent Convention of the Young
Democracy of New York, held at Albany,
one mcubcr after declaring himself Nation
al Democrat, which means that he was an
al, o ate of "Slave catching, thus confesses
that the people cannot be induced to sanction
any law that approves of that anti-democrat-
ic and unchristian business:
The President had seen fit to appoint free
soilers to office throughout the State, and
many who were openly opposed to the fugi-
tive slave law. lie was not going to con-
denim the President, for there was no dis
g, sing the fact that perhaps one third Of
the democracy-perhaps it is as we'll to give
them that name as any other-pIobably ono
third A VOICE, yes, and one-half and
as is suggested one-haIf of the people of the
State who sustained President Pierce, do not
in their hearts approve of the fugitive slave
law, and never will. He honored them for
their boldness. They say a majority Of the
people of New York do not believe in the
constitutionality of the fugitive slave law, and
are ready to take the responsibility of defeat
ing it. His own constituents did not wish
to dodge this question. One third Of them
openly denounce the fugitive slave law-and

WHAT Is THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW

As many who are ignorant of the provis-
ions and workings OF the celebrated Maine
Liquor Law, may be DESTROYS of information on
these points, we annex an abstract of its pro
visions in the form of questions and answers
bv one of the editors Of the Maine Law Ad
vocatc, temperance paper of Columbus
Ohio:
QrEsrIoN.-What is the Maine Law?
AxswER.-It is a law prohibiting the ma
nufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors, tc
be used as beverage
Q. How does this law provide for the ma
nufacturc and sale for other purposes than for
Il beverage.
4 In the law of Maine there is no pro-
vision for manufacturing, though some of It's
provisions seem to contemplate it. 1t does
however, provide for the sale for mechanical
and medical purposes, 10y appointing men to
sell rs agents of the State or county. These
agents are bound under heavy penalties to
sell only for such purposes. They do not
buy at all. They only sell, and this they do
as agents of the State or county. They de-
rive no pccuniary benefit from the sale, and
are in no sense of the word whatever trafiick-
ers in intoxicating liquors. They stand in
the same relation to the State or county as
treasurcrs do; that is they perform certain
acts for the State, for which the State pays
them a fixed compensation.
| Does the Maine Law prohibit the use OF
intoxicating beverages 10y individuals or fam
! lilies!
A. No. Its entire prohibition relates tc
the sale, and not to the use.
Q. What are the penalties for selling
contrary to law.
A. For the first offence, ten ollars; fol
| the second twenty dollars, and for each sub
sequent offence twenty dollars and imprison-
mcnt not less than three, nor more than Sin
months. Costs follow conviction in eacl
case, and the convict stands committed unit
fine and costs are paid.
The liquors kept for sale, contrary to the
provisions of the statute, are also held Liable
/ to lie seized and destroyed by the due process
/ of law.
@. Are agents held to be as guilty as
the principals
| A. Yes; and they are liable TO the same
/ penalties.
@. May the defendant appeal in case o.
being found guilty!
/ a. 1es; 10y giving bonds, conditional
that he will prosecute the appeal; and pay
/ the amount Of fine and cost assessed ON th'
/ final hearing, and that he will not violate any
the provisions Of this act during the penden
cy Of the suit.
/ @. What is the process Of seizing liquor:
kept for sale contrary to law !:

THE LICENSE QUESTION.

MEssRs. EDIToRs-By recent issue of your
paper, it appears that our City Council have deci-
dcd on granting licenses for the sale of spurious
liquors, for the coming season, by vote ola to B.
The wisdom and righteousness of this policy
your correspondent very much questions The
correctness or incorrcctness of the license SYSTEM
it seems to me, lies in "nut shell often express
sed-yiz: If the traffic in Intoxicating liquors as
Il beverage, is legitimate business, and beneficial
why have not all who choose, a right TO engage in
it, as in any other trade? If it is not, no license
from a City Council, other Judicaturc, possesses
the magic power to make it otherwise
The old thread bare argument, that liquor will
be sold, and we may well reap some of the pro-
fits of the same to derive no benefit from it, is
so rdiculously sophistcal that deserves not even
passing notice. Who does not see that the same
parity of argument would lead TO the license of
murder of robbery, gambling, misunderstanding
and every species of crime that men can commit
because men will commit them whether licensed to
do so or not. But have recently heard another
argument from one of our " City Fathers" equal
" spcciouS with the former to Wit: That in liccn
sing the liquor seller he is placed under bonds TO
sell "drunk according to law and that his bonds
arc holden for the damage that may accrue from
such sale; whereas, ifno licenses granted, there
exists no such bonds, and consequently no DANA
gcs can be collected
Truly that is an argument, and nothing but the
sagacity BETTING a Councilman, could ever have
discovered it. Most wondrous wise must be that
lquor-Scllcr who according to this idea, can sell
unlicensed and risk of heavy damages; yet
persists in paying his bonus of 500 for license
and by so doing subjects himself to all damages
that may arise from the sale of such liquors Sure
1--WE must conclude that our licensed vendors are
either very great fools or very patriotic certainly
the law ought to make ample provisions to secure
such generous souls the whole trade in the % crit
ter and Council should sec to it that they are
protected from the competition of all such narrow
souls as those who will not magnanimously pay
for the responsibility But say those who voted
to grant licenses: Our constituents expected us
to vote thus" All well, that is poser! Very
obcdcnt to your constituents, certainly. g Nj
chacl Hunt" & Co., are in duty bound to pass a
vote of thanks for your complaisancc.
But really, sir, it is too bad to see men willing
to lose all their identity, lay aside their personal
responsibility and fastcn thcrcproach of drnnkard
making upon our City, for the sake of the vote of
the rum-sellcr and his dupcs, to help them into Of

future to wash our hands from the unholy traffic,

FrGrTIvEs IN CANADA.-In the principle
colony of fugitive slaves in Canada society
has been formed, entitled the Refugees Home
which undertakes to find home for every
fugitive We learn from the Voice Of the
FHgitoe, that the society has just purchased
four hundred and twenty-five acres Of timber
ed land in addition to that already possessed,
within sixteen miles Of Detroit and three miles
of the lake. This land has been purchased
so that it can be sold for $3.50 per acre, on
nine years time, without interest. This, OF
course, will enable any industrious man TO
earn himself home where "the wicked cease
from troubling" 1t is gratifying to know
that these poor outcasts are doing well, and

of New jersey, died after a short illness, in
Dearborn county, Indiana, i'll August, 1853,
aged one hundred and seven years, two months

A RACE FoR L1BERTY.-A gentleman of
our acquaintance related to us the following,
which took place under his own eye at Mia
CARA:
He was standing on the steps of one of
the principal hotels there, when a carriage
drove up,containing a Southemerand his par
ty. In front of the hotel stood mulatto wo-
man, talking with her husband, while several
colored walters were also there employed in
their various duties. As the man stepped
from the carriage his eye met that of the
woman, and on both sides there was instant
recognition. He advanced towards her with
the salutaton, "how do YOU do, Martina ex-
tending his hand. She shrunk back, fearing
that if he took the protfered hand she would
be detained by his grasp. He pressed to-
wards her, while she retrcated, and finally
turned and run. The Southerner then howl
ed out that he would give.a hundred dollars
to any one who would arrest her.
Several were brutal enough to start Ike
hounds in pursuit. But her husband sprang
to her side, and the walters interposed be-
tween them and the pursuers, and all rushed

yesterday, while wandering through the
Italian department, our attention was attract

years Of age intently watching the progress

behold the contents of the box. The cover
was removed, and the filling taken out, when
a splendid piece of marble statuary, complete
