REPLY
To the Editors Of the Coarisr on !" Force Iaw.u

To the Editors Of the Courisr on " Force Law"
answer--the right to sell rum is not pecu.
liar right under our national or State insttu-
tiOns, and a prohibition Of that right does not
violate those Constitutions. Again, in coming
into society we must relinquish many rights
thus, the right 10 drive through our streets as
fast as we please, and to sell in market what
we please and when we please; lastly, many
other rights are restricted by law yet who
questions such restrictions, as unconstitutional!
There have been numerous decisions upon this
right by our Supreme Judges in favor of the lav,
but what has that to do with the prohibition Of
dram shops, any more than with faro tables and
bawd houses. This is an objection which can
not be divided. The argument has no partial
application. You must repeal at once all your
hundred statutes against vices of all descrp-
ton; or you must apply the principle to all If
you do not prohibit the liquor seller, what a
gross injustice you are doing to these gamblers,
who you are Furnishing with plenary vengeance
from court to court. This argument has no
meaning unless you repeal all human laws.
They are all founded on the single idea of the
general welfare.
Iam persuaded the men. who make this obiec.
ton are not half SO weak as they seem to be.
They are only initiating their brethren Of the
other bar, in saying anything to the jury, which
they think may touch soft spot. l am thai.k-
full to them, however, for making public &C.
acknowledgement of the great doctrine OF total
depravity, which so many of them deny on all
other occasions. They are right. Human ap-
petites are so depraved that they cannot be bri.
died by human law What then? Can law de
nothing? Why, then, have you enacted laws
against theft, and murder, and adulteryP Why
do you visit the gambler and the bawd with tn.
terrors of the Police Court ? Do you say, that
the man who sells drains to another. whom he
knows to be a drunkard, or to a young man
who he knows is becoming so, is not as guilty.
as the gambler? Before state the grouad Of
the Temperance men, let me give YOU maxim
of the law, which any of the Law-Bar will
vouch for on my behalf to the Liquor-Bar. 1t
Is this. The man who Injuries another, how
ever unintentionally, by doing a mischief act, is
responsible for The injury done. Who excited the
gambler with liquor, till by losing his reason
he lost his money! Who heated the blood Of
the youth now going from wine and punch to

From The Palmyra Wing.
Administrators to Quincy.


The project Of building railroad from Pal
myra TO Quincy las, for some time past, en-
listed much Of the attention and interest OF the
people Of the above-named localities. Many
plans have heretofore been suggested for prose-
cutting the desired result, and many the dark
designs we were accused Of harboring upon the
subject.
Ii would seem now that the speedy consum-
nation Of this enterprise is rendered almost GER
tain. Messrs. Lucas & Simonds, of St. Louis,
a wealthy, enterprising and active firm, have
associated with themselves others in this pro.
iect and have secured the right to build a road
from Palmyra to Quincy, under authority Of
our general Railroad Law, approved Oath Feb
ruary, 1853. The capital stock Of this associa-
ton is limited to 100000, sum which we
suppose will be amply sufficient to build and
equip the road. There is deep interest felt
in the success of the contemplated movement BY
the citizens Of Quincy, and that city and its
citizeEs may be set down as good for 100000
Of the stock. Now, as we Of Palmyra have a
deep interest also in this matter the eyes Of the
people will very naturally turn inquiringly to-
ward us. What, then, can we do for the sue
cess of it This question we think we can
answer for ourselves. We can do very much
toward it If we do but go about it in the right
way, and in the proper spirit. Then will we
do lip That is for our people to say. We have
the ability. We want this road. II is the very
thing for which our citizens have been ardently
wishing. We are all awake to the great adj
vantage i, will be to us it will, by connecting
with the Hannibal and St.. Joseph Railroad,
place us directly upon the great line of travel
between the East and West.
1t will build up our town, fill our workshops,
and bring with il thousand blessings. Shall
we then, under these circumstances, manifest a
mean and niggardly spirit towards this enter
prise2 Every consideration prompts us to the
opposite course. With this view of the case,
we think we can safely bespeak from our citi.
zens liberia! subscription. That that sub
scription should be at least $4,000 TO begin
with, and as much more as can by any posi-.
bilty be raised.
