Com m u ~ 1c0ted.

In considering the issue presented
by the Comet made up between "In-
temperance rs. Temperance" the fol-
lowing syllogism was suggested:
To act according to the dictates Of
conscience is divine right.
Getting drunk is exercising the right
of conscience, therefore drunkness is
divine right.
The foregoing is logical conclus-
ion, and a good syllogism. But it
occurs to US very much like the follow
ing argument. To do wrong, is a
divine right, therefore it is right to do
wrong. The word conscience" is one
Of vague meaning, if it has any mean
ing at all; it is something that meta
physicians have been wrangling about
since the animal usually called man"
first set his foot upon this harmonious
world of jarring antipodes. Does the
writer who makes out the above syllo-
gism from our article on temperance,
suppose that if uncle Adam could be
awakened from his long sleep, and
placed uprightly in the ''Garden," that
Eve, or Zenobia, or Cleopatra the far
famed beauty Of Egypt, with all their
charmes combined, and added to the
person of the most beauteous daughter
of the modern Ball, could make our
distinguished ancestor ''bite the apple"
No sir. So with the drunkard-if
the effects of the first drunken fit with
its deathlike sickness does not act as
restraint upon him, the ordinances
of the Temperance Society, and the
acts" of the State Legislature, will not
do it.
