IIHCol. A. G. Sumner, referring to
the gradual increase of anti-slavery SEN
timent, boldly spoke before the Georgia
Agricultural Society as follows:
"According to the course of events in
this Union, unless self-proteciion be Sc
cured by the holding States them
selves, the doom of the South is sealed.
The border States Virginia, Maryland,
Kentucky and Missouri-arc gradually

natical opinion setting against them from
the North, and if the progress of the a.
BOLTON sentiment be as rapid and eh;ec-
tive in the next twenty years as it has
been for the asst twenty, it requires nc
prophetic pei to foretell that Tennessee
North Carolina and Arkansas will, at
that period, be the border States of slave
Iry. And how long will it be ere the
same sentiment is rife among us? Are
we not blindly standing still, while the

More Reasons for a PrOhibitOry
Liquor Law.

/. The use of intoxicating drinks
BRINGS misery uautferable into amilles.
Who can tell the woe of good wife's,
mothers, or sisters heart, when the hus
band, son, or brother first comes home
drunk /? ooh never, never" says one
of them, 'shall forget the agony of
that hour" But tina: hour, in hosts Of
cases, is but the beginning of a life of
wretchedness. The loving wife strives
in vain to save her husband from the
demons grasp. He ceases to be kind,
and becomes torment and makes life
burden 10 her. Property is lost; and
friends grow cold. She tolls night and
day for her embruted husband and her
helpless children; but home is by and by
lost, and the whole family sinks to
shame. The awful agonies and lasting
misery Of having such a husband, son,
or brother, has come to thousands Of
families in our country every year. 1t
is time TO have it stopped.
2. II hurrtcs thousands to the drum
kard,s grace and doom every gear. In
three counties in the state of New York
it was ascertained that more than one
third of the deaths were caused by it.
Those who have examined the subject,
conclude that it drives to the grave not
less than 10000 of our people every
year.
Now this flood of ruin can be stop
ped if li!ei is precious; if saving from the
worst Of deaths, thousands of our peo-
pie is desirable; here is reason why
we should have a law prohibiting the
sale of the deadly poison, which is so
rapidly destroying them.
3. Such u tau as the only e6eciuaJ means
yet found to preuent infenaperance and
Drunkenness and all their horrid conse-
quences. Other measures have been
tried, and some of them did much good !;
but they only Topped off some Of the
small branches Of the fatal tree this is
found to haN it, when faithfully applied.
Let us have such a law a expect it, and
the disease, and insanity, and pauperism,
intoxicating drinks has been causing will
nearly cease at once ; and we may hope
