For the Organ.

Mt. EDIToR-I send you the follow
ing incidents, because they serve to
illustrate the public sentiment Of Lick
ing county, in relation to the great
Reform. al u aH.
The people of Alexandra, feeling
the influence Of the general waking up
of the masses, on the subject of Tenn
perance, ventured to call meeting of
the friends Of the cause, in the latter
part of last month. They had their
doubts about its expediency at that
time, as we'll they might. First, the
weather was bad second, the even
ings were short third, it was haying
ime; and worse than all, no temper
ance meeting had been held in the
place for more than year. But they
determined to make the venture, aad
finally invited my friend G. and my
self to address them on that occasion.
As we rode to the appointed place,
in the afternoon, we saw many Of the
farmers busy in the bayfield,, and
hence, naturally concluded that our
congregation would be small. lm-
agine, then, our surprise at finding the
large church well filled with people
from the country, as well as from the
town. Such stiffness and attention on
the part of the old and the young

will pledee himself to vote for and
sustain q law similar in its fundamen-
tai principles 70 the Maine Maine Liquor
Law.
lae Short, but sharp-pointed speeches
were made By many Of the friends
with good effect The first Saturday,
of September was fixed on for a Grand
Temperance Rally, to come off in
Lancaster, at which a good time is
anticipated. In short, unahimity and
q harmony prevailed; and good i'm
preston is abroad. Many are enlist
ing for the war, and if ] am not greatly
mistaken in the signs Of the times,
politicians, who are determined to
whip temperance men into the traces
to help them to drag their liquor
sucking, rum'bloated candidates into
Office, will learn when it is eternally
too late, that it is no go, and that the
freemen.o of Ohio are capable to think
and choose for themselves. Any per.
son who is acquainted with the past
political history of this county, and
not posted as to the present move
ments, would at once set it down as a
hopeless case, because Fairfield is al
most black with dslilleries and grog4
shops, and candidates have invariably
hitched on to the latter and rode into
Office by the liquor influence. This
county gives from 1000 to 1900 ma.
Jorlty in favor of Democracy Our
prospect. There are nine candidates
before the primary meeting, which
will take place the goth Of August.
Two are pIedgFd-one for the Maine
Law, and the other to vote against any
and every temperance bill that may
be brought before the Legislature. 1t
is thou ht that the strife will lay be-
tween these two. Now if the former
is nominated he will be elected, but if
the latter, it is confidently expected
that the Wings will bring out Maine
Law man, and the October election
will tell in thunder tones that there is
more morality in the voters Of Fair
field than 10 send Legislator to the
General Assembly of Ohio who is op-
posed 10 the best interests OF his CON
stituents.
Our opponents are in stew, and
they are talking loudly that if Alli-
ance Democrats will not be coaxed
they will force them into measures,
i. e., if they will not swear to sup
port the nominee that they shall not
vote at the primary election at all, }
thus defeating the Maine Law candi-
date by force. Let them do tiff they
dare. | s"
| will conclude by saying that Fair
field is awake, and don't be surprised
if a Maine Law man goes from here
to the Legislature next winter. The
effort has Just commenced.

sue h fxedness Of theeye and lighting
Of the eountenance, indicated too plain
" to be mistaken, the true spirit Of
earhastness. Ithad its natural effect
on the speakers, and SO, in every re-
spectacle meeting proved interesting
--pleasant and profitable to all.
But it was the closing scene that de-
yeloped, most satisfactorily, the real
sentiments Of the people. Said the
last speaker, just as he was clos ng his
address. "The hour is late. You
have listened to the discussion with
great apparent interest and patience.
lItWould obe5wrong to detain you.
longer. yet it would greatly graf.
if us to know what your views and
impressions are. with regard to the
question before us---Viz., the propriety
and necessity Of placing upon our.
statute-book the great distinguishing
principles Of the Maine Law /? 20 We
do not ask whether you are Wings, or
Democrats, or Free-Soilers. No doubt
this large assembly is made up of all
parties. You have a right to your
opinions, whatever they may be, in
relation to banks. tariffs, slavery, and
every other subject that may divide
you politically. So you have, on the
questions we have tried to discuss this
evening. This right we do not ques-
ton. We only wish to know whether
you are in favor of laws prohibiting
entirely the manufacture and sale Of
intoxicating liquors as beverage.
All, therefore, in favor Of such laws,
and who, if qualified, will vote for
such men only tor the Legislature, are
requested to RISE" Instantly, as it
seemed, the Whole assembly rose.
"But," said the speaker, after ex-
pressing his qualification at this result,
'it is but fair to call for the other
side. If therefore," he continued,
"there are anypresent opposed to the
enactment Of such laws, let them have
the manly boldness to say SO by
rising to their feet" One solitary
person, whether man or boy, it was
| difficult to tell, rose. "Now," ex-
claimed the speaker, "let it be pro-
claimed in all the region round about,
that there is one (naan, shall | say?)
in the goodly village Of Alexandria,
in favor of continuing the liquor traf-
Gc |! Yes, ONE!" But it seemed the
/ Alexandrians had not even this honor,
for as the speaker was proposing to the
people the appoin ment Of a Commit
the to inform Barnum, Immediately,
where he could obtain so remarkable
an addition to his museum, a respecta-
BILE father OF the Methodist Church
interposed, with the assurance "that
the curiosity did not belong there.
From all appearances the time is not
far distant when such curiosities will
seldom be found, and when they turn
up, fathers, mothers, and all, will be
as anxious to declaim as Father -
was in this case. '4i AID.

oFFIcE-S EEKERs.-Some days since, WASH
ington had already filed up with individuals
rom various parts of the Union, bent on re-
celVing a share 10 the distribution OF spoiIs.
The Hotels were crowded and very little
space was left in the private boa~rding-hous-
es' The system of removals and rotations,
which has been adopted of late, is working
a great evil in this country, making a regu-
lar vocation out Of off hunting and draw
ing away the attention Of a large portion OF
our citizens from legitimate and profitable
pursuits. The evil may bring about its "
remedy in time; but we fear that it is one
OF those political diseases which will con-
tinue to increase until a cure is almost i'm.
possible.
In the meantime, it is stated that the
President elect has taken a determined stand
and has frmness to maintain 1t. He has re-
fused to confer with committees and indi-
%viduals upon the Interesting topic of appoint
mentS to Office and has kindly informed them
that he is determined to manage his own
affairs. These are the current reports of the
day, and whatever the next few weeks may
disclose, 1t is quite certain that a great many
anxious expectants will be sadly ~disappuint-
ed Barring the honor and the salary, there
Is not much fun after all in being the Presi.
dent OF this great country, where there are
about a dozen applicants for every Office
worth having, and who stand ready to curse
the appointing power unless it happens to
have as good an opinion of their services,
their qualifications and their claims as them
selves.
1t Is probable that, BY this time, General
Pierce has reached tho city, where rooms
have been engaged for him at Willard's
Hotel, where he will remain until after his
Inauguration.

THE Nav cOIsAss AID Sc BILL,
which had previously passed the Senate, has
also passed the House Of Representatives.
All the amendments winch had been pro-
posed 10 it in the House finally failed. Its
principal provisions are therefore as follows:
To reduce the silver half dollar from 2ost
grains 10 l92 grains, and a like reduction of
the quarter dollar, dime and half dime, the
reduction being 6 sl-lOo. A charge Of of
lPer cent. as a seiguiorage, for coinage OF
silver deposited at the mint. To the alter.
alton Of the weight Of the silver coin there
seemed to be no essential opposition but to
the seigniorage part, a good deal of opposi-
ton was manifested, though il il claimed
that the seignicrSge is barely sufficient to
meet the expense. The bill is a very i'm
Portant one, making in effect gold the stand.
ard Of value, and silver snbservient to it,
This 10 done without its really fixing o new
relative value between gold aud silver, but
by seeking, through a reduction in the actu-
al value OF our silver coin, as expressed on
its face, TO render il no longer a more desira-
BILE export than gold. Under the operation
OF the law while the value of the present
silver coin is not touched, it is presumed Il
will soon disappear to be reproduced in the
new coinage Of less value.
The bill also provides for the coinage Of
three dollar gold pieces and the casting Of
gold or silver into ingots at the option Of the
dePositor either of pure metal or ofthe stan.

Correspondence of the Daily Gazette. !

COLUMBUS, Feb. Is, 1853.
EDITOR GAzETTE:-The bill to provide
for the publication of the laws in newspa-
pers was reported back yesterday from the
committee TO whom it had been referred, and
having boon so amended as to allow seventy
five cents per thousand ems for composition
thereon, after a brisk fight, the bill passed
tho Senate, and upon the concurrence OF
the House in the amendment it will be a
law. More than usual progress was made
yesterday by both Houses, during the short
time they remained in session, and several
bills were passed exclusive of the important
local matters of county, township aud other
special legislation.
The bill introduced into the Senate by
Mr.. Moore, to amend the act dispensing with
proof in certain cases and which passed that
body come time since, yesterday PASSED
through the House and is now in legal force.
The bill to provide for draining aadrecIaim-
ing the swamp and overlooked lands Of this
State, which formerly passed the House,
went through the Senate yesterday. The
bill to amend the act to establish the board
OF county commissioners was passed in the
Senate, as was also the bill to regulate the
rule Of descents and for the distribution OF
personal estates. The bill to provide for
the sale Of the lands granted for religious
purposes in the Ohio Company's purchase,
was passed in the Senate, aud that everlast.
ing bill to remov the county seat Of Perry
county. which has been a subject Of conten-
ton for so many years aud been settled and
unsettled so often, was again passed in the
HOUSE,.
The House adjourned over at noon yeE-
terday until this morning, to give the use OF
their Hall TO the pupils of the Deaf and
Dumb Asylum, and held session last night
to make up for lost time-and such a session!
Motions to adjourn and calls of the House
were the order Of the evening, until at last
the resolution to adjourn sine dis on the aIst
inst, was taken Up and the Representatives
branched out thereon. After a great deal
Of talking and very much confusion the reso-
luton was so amended as to read the second
Monday (l4th) OF March, and was then
agreed to by ~ to "a, So, il no reconsidera-
tion is had, the i4th of March will be the
memorable day; but DOM trust it.
