Varying circumstances have made it

repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Al
though the intelligent public are convine-,

to be perfectly understood on such i'm

by the progressive public sentiment.

ENFORCING THE LIQUOR LAWS.

=" abuses'' are often trumphantly asked 1t is in
vain that we urge the unuess and ineicency of those
laws to subserve our purpose namely the entire
throw and extinction Of the Traffic in Intoxicating
Drinks Those laws were enacted by men who drank
themselves and urged otbep to driuk-who were igno
rant that Alcoholic Liquors are essentially, inevitably
poisonous, though they knew that Posons were some
times used to sdulterate those hquors-ani whose
great anxiety to render the Rum traffic discreet
considerable and respectable.
Our convictions, our objects, are widely different
We DO not seek to elevate the respectabily Of the
dispensers of Alcoholic Beverages, Nor to make Rln-
drinking as safe and reputable as the nature OF the

candidate for Governor is Mr.. j. w Grimes of Burng-
ton Mr. Crimes 10 avoid the necessity OF a detailed
canvass of the State which he states his affairs will
not permit him to make has issued an address to the
people setting forth the issues 10 the election, and de-
ning bis position thereon The address is marked BY
great clearness ard ability, and shows Mr. Grimes to
be a man of abundant talent, and apparently well
qualified to fill the Governors chair. Mr. Grimes's
manifesto is free from every faint OF cant and hum
bug and meets every question it discusses in man
ner which sh. ud CONN and the attention aud respect
of all to whom it is addressed 1t is aplan and manly
appeal to the intelligence aud understanding and not
to the passions or prejudces of the people The
views be advocates are SO undeniabl sound that did
partzan hindrances exist, one would suppose they
could hardly fail to receive the Endorsement OF every
citizen of the State

THE ADDRESS on THE VETO.

The Governor of our State has set before the People,
whose chosen servant be is, the considerations by
v bich LIE justlfes his Veto of the bill Prohibiting the
Traffic in intoxicating Drinks. The majority of the
Legislature whose action the great topic of the
Session was thus nullifed have responded to these
considerations in document inferior in length to the
Veto Message and mperor-t seems very cear-in
every thing else. We trust the two documents will
be printed together and thus sent into every household
in our State No better or clearer illustration Of the
arguments the spirit the bearing the objects of the
two parties could well be presented. On the one side
stands the schemng pettifogger endeavorng to earn
his cuprit clients money by bold assertions, bad
law, and impudent sophistry; on the other, the
ministers of Justice calmly invoking 10 behalf Of
Public Virtue and Human Good the suppression
of gross and perilous wrong Into these two
papers, the whole essence of the legal controversy
is condensed. Whoever reads them need read no
further with respect TO the constitutional power to
pass such the Maize Law and the rightul lim
tatiOns of that power He can as well make up his
mind at this point as at any other Ii he loves Alec

sons capital by siding with the Rum interest-he will
admire the gc and praise the boldness of the Veto
If otherwise disposed he will glory in the calmness
clearpess forbearance, brevity and cogency of the
Legislative Address. We entreat the friends Of

several Counties is made familiar with this mastery

In most Conservatives there stands in great tub
pricky, ugly plant known to botanists as the Agavt
Americana or American Aloe As it takes up grea
deal of room and is always in the way the visitor who
may happen to be unacqusnted with its history, ma
turay supposes that once at least in each year it vim
dicstes the good taste of the gardener and at the
same tine asserts its own claims TO house room,
warmth and cultivation by putting forth flower Of
extraordinary beauty or OF delicious perfume. When
however he hears that its only claim to notice consists
in the fact that in every hundred years it sends
out huge stalk and few scentless lowers-a stalk
for which no use has been discovered except this
that being very light very soft and very pithy, it
makes q tolerable substitute for razorstrop-when
be hears this, the visitor is apt TO revise his previous
conclusions and playflly to request the gardener to
