"Timothy" writes an able essay on
the scriptural use of vine. He com
bats manfulIy the sentiment expressed
by some, that the use of wine is
"malam IN se''-Wrong in itself. This
subject was fully discussed years ago
by DR.. Mott, E. G. Delavan and
others, and as it is not a matter ma
terial to the present phase of the tenn
perance movement, we think a renew.
al of this discussion just now would
be improbable. Timothy" will no
doubt grant that on the principle of
Paul, who would not drink wine if it
made his brother to offend, we may
properly abandon its use and denounce
it. We do not know who "Timothy"
is, but suppose he is related to his il
lustrious namesake, whom, on account
of his "olten infrmities," was ad-
vised by Paul to use little "wine'
for his stomach's sake. We shall lay
this communication aside; and when
we have room for the discussion Of
the Theological question, "TimOthy's s"
case will be attended to.

mission is to prepare, from all cAsses
and conditions, able politicians forthe
next generation. He is a man Of A.
most unparalleled virtue and sagacity,s
Of the most liberal views, and is exr
tremely democratic 10 his social in
tercourse with men. The poor boy
in squalid rags, finds in him a friend
and an adviser the pitiable, unfortu-
nate Outcast, who has disgraced the
dignity Of his species, is greeted by
the warm, cordial hand Of Mr., An.
drews, and taught a lesson Of encour-
agement which makes him feel that
he is still man. In short, he has al
ways been one Of the most steadfast
friends Of temperance, one Of the most
ardent devotees Of education, ard one
of the best exemplars Of virtue and
good morals. All this we know from
the fact that we have enjoyed an inti-
mate acquaintance with him for many
years. B.

Editorial Assistance.

During the campaign, the Editor
will be necessarily very much engaged
in public speaking, and cannot bestow
upon the Organ the attention it needs,
and the cause at this juncture de-
mands. To aid in this department
he has secured the services of CHAs.
B. Brown, young man of talents,
and devoted to the cause, and one
who has already contributed valuable
articles to our columns. We have re-
ceived assurances also from the Rev.
A. A. LlvERMoEE, and from the Rev.
L. CARY, of their assistance in this
crisis. Our readers will find that the
value Of the paper will be greatly en-
hanced, notwithstanding much Of the
Editors time will be engrossed by his
iabors upon the platform.

Modesty Of Editors.

"In faith tits strange, it's passing
strange" how superlatively tender
and delicate are Editors about any
expression of opinion in regard to the
Maine LQw. The number of papers
in this State that have discussed the
utility of this Law are extremely
limited, And why is this the Caseg
They may contend that it is not pO-
litical question, and hence will leave
it to the various organs Of temperance
reform. Well, perhaps it may not
have been resolved into a political
question, yet it is universally ac-
knowledged to be the great and all
absorbing topic Of this age. And
what is the avowed duty Of news
paper Editors ? Is it not to discuss
fully and freely every important topic
that may arise, placing before the peo-
pie all the arguments, pro and con, in
reference to it? But we find them
most scrupulously modest in the dis
charge of this duty, until the mutter
in controversy has received the ver-
dict Of the people, and then they hesi-
tate not to come down on it in all the
force and fury Of an avalanche and,
strange to sag, they seldom ever miss
the popular side at this crisis. Now
this is an unmanly, dishonorable way
Of doing business. That Editor who
has not boldness and independence
enough to avow his honest sentiments
to the public, in regard to any ques-
ton, irrespective Of party, popularity,
or other considerations, is unfit for
the station he occupies, and should be
discountenanced by the people. This
is obviously the reason why SO many
Editors are Withholding their views
in respect to the Maine Law. They
'lay low" until they see whether it
will be popular move, and on what
ever side the preponderance is found,
will they be found in due time. B.

LOrin Andrews. .

This gentleman is the candidate for
School Commissioner Of this State, at
our next election. He stands the
nominee of no sect, party or faction,
but as the choice of the Common
School Teachers Of Ohio and, more
over, his nomination was not mat
ter Of indifference to them, he was
chosen with almost unexampled unan-
unity of feeling. And will any one
deny their pre.eminent competency to
choose a man for that station Does
not their profession, and their intimate
acquaintance with men who have
taken an active interest in Common
Schools, admirably capacitate them to
make the best possible selection ?
Then why will his election be op'
posed 1t certainly is obvious to
every one that those teachers who
nominated him were members Of all
parties but they magnanimously re-
solved to forget politics in this plainly
sse~tr01 question, and merged them
selves into a confederation above the
dishonesty and corruption of all poll
teal parties. There are other i'm.
portant considerations in favor Of Mr.
Andrews. twill be remembered that
he is a member Of the legal profession
and none who know his abilities, or
have ever listened to the magic Of his
eloquence, and been transported by
the Thoughts that breathe and words
that burn," as they come from his
lips, have ever doubted but that he
might have become one of the bright.
est ornaments Of that profession but
in his characteristic benevoIence and
philanthropy, he nobly resolved to
forego the fattering emoluments of
the Bar, and enlist his services in be-
half of Common Schools. Ever since
he has been one Of the Very teW men
who have illustr ted by their deeds
the truth that they believe the "yourh
to be the hope Of our country" Year
after year his time, his money and
his talents, have all been concentrated
to the diffusion of knowledge, and
/ elevation Of the standard of education,
Il among the common classes and it
can be truthfully said, and without
injustice to any one, that his labors
have been more ardent and more in
cessant in behalf Of this great enter
H prise than those Of any citizen Of
Ohio. We think none, who know
him, no matter what may be their
views in regard to politics, will hesi-
tate one moment to give him their
votes and 10 those who do not know

cal views, whatever they may be, are

First Principles.

whose "lnstItutes" have been cele-
brated for ages, says the whole sub
ject Of law may be reduced to three
general preceptss yizsA"hOneste vi
verye,' to live honestly, ''alterum,
non lsedere," not injure anybody, and
"suum cuique tribune" render to
every man his due. Blackstone says
the entire law Of nature applicable to
man, as moral being and member Of
society, may be summed up in this
one paternal precept, ''that man
should pursue his own substantial
happiness" .gmoHah la
The principles Of eternal justice are
so interviewer with the happiness Of
each individual man, that the latter
cannot be obtained without a strict
observance Of the former. Selfish as
the rule may at first view seem, its
observance would secure the universal
happiness of mankind, and the whole
object Of human government is to en-
force obedience to the simple maxim,
"that every man should pursue his
own substantial happiness The
validity, force and authority Of all the
laws of society, are derived from their
conformity with this great law Of ma
ture, as written by God upon the con-
sttution Of man. 1t is binding over
all the glcbe, in all countries and at
all times" To induce men to live
honestly, TO hurt nobody, and to Sc
cure to each his due, is the business
of Government, and the legislative,
judicial and executive departments
are or should cooperate with each
other in the attainment of these ends ;
and to the full extent of their attain
ment will individuals and commuhi-
ties be prosperous and happy.
Whatever pursuit, trade or calling,
universally or generally results in
mischief to society, no nan can prac-
tice without justly invoking the inter-
ference Of the power of Government
"The powers that be are ordained Of
God" for this great purpose, and for
no other. If, for example, by the
establishment of schools, and by ad-
dressing the understanding and hearts
of men, they can be induced not to
steal, bear false witnessJ commit adul-
terry, &c, &C., and thus conform their
conduct to the great maxim, it is we'll !;
but if with all the pressure of motive
to live honestly, hurt nobody, and
render to all their due, some will trans
gress, then the legal authorities of the
great social compact must call offend
ers to the bar Of judgment. Gam
bling, stealing, murder, &C., are crimes,
because destructive to society. All
we ask is TO apply to the liquor traffic,
the great, first, fundamental princi-
| pies. If this traffic can exist in accor-
dance with the principles of eternal
justice, if grog-shops are mol necessa-
rily destructive of human happiness,
then we are wrong in demanding their
determination. We are relormers
only because we would apply princi-
pies as old as Gods throne to a nesO
subject matter. intoxicating drink,
instead of being regarded by US as a
"good creature Of God," is Ielieved

THEILLING INcrDENr.-A correspor-
dent of the St. Louis Republican, wrt
ting from Jefferson Barracks, relates the
following wonderful feat of soldier on
the 2lst ultimO:
g The old flagstaff at the barracks had
been shaking and topping all winter, and
the day being calm, the General had Il
party detailed to take it down,
:. A soldier Michael McAnaIIy, Of Col.
Bragg's battery, accordingly mounted to
the cross-trees anlunshipped the topmast;
from some cause it became uumanageable
ground. The man at the masthead kept
his post composedly. and gave timely
warning to the party below &c to stand
from under" Nine out Of ten men, with
a spar fifty feet long shooting and rasping
like an arrow through their hands, with
an insecure footing at n dizzy height,
would have left the yard and tumbled
from the platform.
''While the party below were Iemovin"
the topmast, to the dismay and consterna-
ton of the bystanders, the mainmast, wi h
the soldier still poised at the masthead,
now swayed over, broke short off at its
base, and plunged with tremendous
crash to the ground.
The soldier in the meantime was seen
to change his position as the mast went
over, and circling high through the air
with frightful velocity, he with perfect
self-possession adjusted himself to clear
the framework of the crosstrees, and as
the mast neared the ground, he, evident
ly with well-measured leap, a1ighted
with safety amidst his comrades Ali were
startled into amazement, as much bv the
intrepidity displayed as by the imminent
peril it adverted.

base"
