that we intended not the least unkind inslnu-
alton in our article last week as to his posi-
ton aboutthe consequences resulting from the
Withholding of licenses for retailing liquor IN
this city. On the contrary; we'knew the Ed
itor to be friend to the cause oftemperance,
and hence our unwillingness to believe ne
was in earnest in the untenable position he
assumed. We still think he was rebuking a
certain set of croakers, in his own peculiar
way. At any rate, so far as our observataon
has extended, and we generally have a. look
out for such things, there was never hitherto
as little dissipation and drunkenness in our
city as at present We know men will drink
liquor as long as it is allowed to be sold by
the quart or barrel but we cannot see how
this makes out good moral or legal reason
why the law should provide convenient places
for the indulgence in Intoxicating drinks

Marrying a Name.

A young Miss is smitten with name-a
high sounding title in the person of a young
blood-a bon ton of the aristocratic school.
She has discarded half dozen worthy young
fellows already, and never knew why, until
"name" was introduced to her at the ball
he it was, she is sure, the Fates designed for
her; he is such Ga duck of a man"-such
noble ancestors and such love of name
withal-Marquis Adolphus Gustavus Busti-
vus, or some such Her heart is captive
and name feels that he is a conqueror.-
Name puts on airs at his triumph and al
most suffocates in the odor of self complacen-
cy. Such rare opportunity is not to be un-
improved, and name begs her to accept it
Miss is amazed at the condesension-s
pers- -blushes-yields, but prudently refers
him to Pa. Pa is taken with name too-feels
honored in the connection and graciously be-
slows his daughter. A great feast is pro-
claimed-guests are bidden-Confectione
and Drapers are given orders that make them
reioice-they are married in q magnificent
style-newspaper puff the affair and herald
it from Hardscrabble to Wampoo, near Can
ton. A pleasure trip is resolved upon ev-
erything Of interest is visited in the first six
weeks from the millpond to Niagara, and
then they "settle down." Well! Mrs. in
her new home, begins to learn the realities
Of housekeeping; she makes an invoice of
what her dear lord, the Marquis, is worth
finds him worth everything except wit and
funds But they must live in a style cor
responding with their name somehow, but
how, even Biddy, in the kitchen, can't tell
for the life of her. They struggle hard to
keep up appearances by living on cold hash
and soup when no company is to dine with
them, and putting off bills with specious
promises to pay Name splurges like very
whale to keep up the foam in his fashionable
pool, and Mrs smiles like she was the happi
est mortal unburied when her friends are a

she weeps and cries, "What's in name 7

What the New York City Folks say of

DR.. M'LANE'S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE.
New YoRK, August %, 1852.
W. This is to certify that | am weif acquainted
with man fifty years of age, for many years a res
ident of this city, who has been at times extremely
ILL., but could not tell from what causc unless it was
worms. He told his attending physician his sns-
pieions, but the physicians at once ridiculed the
idea, and refused to attend him any longer. His
son then mentioned DR.. NJ Lanes Fcrnifuge. and
asked him if he would take it; his reply was-I
must take something to get relief or die.
They at procured a bottle Of Dr. M'Lanes
celebrated Vermifuge, and took one half at one
dose. The result was, he passed upwards Of three
quarts Of ,oors, cut up in every form. He got well
Immediately, and is enjoying most excellent
health and, like the good Samaritan of old, is en-
deavoring to relieve his unfortunate neighbors. He
makes it his br mess to hunt up and select all
similar to his own, that may be given over by the
regular physicians, and induces them to try DIR.
MLane's Vermfuge. So far he has induced more
than twenty persons to take the Vermifuge. and in
every case with the most happy results. lie is well
satisfied that DR.. NJ Lanes Vermiuge is far superior
to any other known remedy, and tlat If more gen
orally known would not fail to save many valuable
lives. For further particulars inquire Of Mrs Har

Lanes celebrated Liver Pills, can be had at al
respectable Drug Stores in this city.

others in comparison. are worthless.

We would ask Brothers German and Moore
n few questions. Do you not think, brethren,
that, if in your efforts to have law passed
prohibiting the manufacture and sale of ar
dent spirits, you should fail, you would he
doing the cause of temperance an irreparable
injury? Now, have you the least grounds to
hope that such law can be passed in North
Carolina for many long years to come?
Weldon Patriot.
We would answer our brother of the Pa
triot, by asking another question lis that
the way to dispose of a matter of principle
or rather, is it not the part of true principle
to contend for what is right, without taking
in to the account, whether the thing be expe-
dent or popular2 fit is right, as we think
it is, to abolish by law the traffic in intoxica-
ting drinks, we should contend for the right,
and leave the times and the seasons to God.
And we believe the time when our people
will do right, is not as fur removed as the
Patriot supposes. Mild and persuasive rem
edies," we admit, have restored many hard
cases of drunkenness, but there have been
very few cases where such means have reach
ed those persons who were the cause of pla-
cling the patient in his deplorable condition.
The " arsenic and stichnine" Of the law can
only reach them. Theirs is desperate

would not be proper to infer that nothing
worthy of note occurs in this department Of

mitments for drunkenness, and for disorder

be. week or two since, there were nc
less at one time than four men in the coun-

was stabbedin his arm andleg, but not dan
gerously hurt, and others somewhat bruised.
The indefatigable and fearless Riley was
soon amongst them, when the disturbance
was quieted, and three of four of the row
dies lodged in jail. Next day, an examina-
ton of the affair was had before one of our
Justices For want of sufficient testimony to
convict, under the complaint made, the prin-
cipal witness (the wounded man) having
absconded, the prisoners were discharged
