V We were amused at the mode in which
The Reporter endeavored to avoid the obvious
import of the language which the Editor was
charged with having uttered in reference to the
amendment proposed in our County Conven-
6ons We stated that we derived our informa-
ton from the relation of the gentleman to whom
The remark was addressed. The Editor denies
portion Of the words attributed to him, and
raises question of veracity between himself
and that gentleman, of which our readers are
capable to Judge for themselves. The most
amusing part of the matter is the motive to
which the Editor confesses. Listen to him:
Considering this a favorable opportunity to
sess the man.
We wonder how the prospective candidate
felt under the operation! Was he aware thai
The Editor Of the Reporter was boring into hin
70 find cut whether he was hollow-hearted =
We advise that Candidate and all others whc
may have soft place accessible to the testing
process, to beware how they come into proximity
with the Editor--his gimlet will be into then
before they are aware ofit-he has such deli
cate way of insinuating his instrument as t,
defy detection. If he keeps on improving, b
will acquire the character of consummat
bore"

The TRIAL-Our readers will find on the
first page the trial of King Alcohol In our
next,we viii give his dying confession, and the
sentence passed by Judge CandOr. With the
most of races when king becomes tyrannical,
they either assassinate him, or compel him to
abdicate; but the Anglo-saxons coolly and de-
liberately arrange them before court as did
the English in the case Of Charles /.
The old king has been charged with suntry
offences against the people of Delaware; the jury
will be irpannelled the second Tuesday Of mex
November he will have a fair hearing before
the tribunal of public opinion next winter, anC
|if the charges are correct, we do not see how
the jury can do otherwise than pronounce hin
guilty.

Party Spirit.

It is equally interesting and instructive, 70
an outsider, to compare the various opinions
expressed by the political journals, in relation
to the object of the advocates of Prohibition.--
The Journal and Reporter are especially saga-
cious in discovering, and earnest in denouncing
what they esteem very Guy Fawkes conspi-
raey-a gunpowder plot to blow up a political
partyl They are quite sure that something is
to be blown sky-high--they agree admirably
that plot exists-but they differ entirely as to
the intended victim of the explosion. The one
is certain that the Whig party is to be destroy
ed; the other, as confidently afirms, that the
- underhanded trickstery" is designed for the
Democracy.
To show how they differ in judgment, while
they agree in language, we extract from the
Journal and Reporter of Friday, and arrange
them in parallel columns:

Progress Of Prohibition.

PENNsYLvANIA.-The Committee of Confer
ence on theliquor question have agreed to reso-
lutlons submitting the naked question of pro-
hlbltIon to vote Of the people at the next
election. The report was made on Saturday,
the 22d instant The Senate will adopt it on
Monday or Tuesday and there is but Little doubt
that the House will agree to it also, although
they may make a show of opposition.
The liquor bill passed the Senate finally, on
Saturday, in modified form from that in which
it was reported from the Committee. The 4th
secton,authorizing suit to be brought against any
vender of spurious, vinous or malt liquors, by
any person to whom it is sold, and who shall
drink thereof until intoxicated, or by the per-
sons parent, guardian husband, wife or next
friend, for the recovery of five dollars for each
offence was not agreed to. The following new
section was adopted:
THAT it shall be lawful for the Courts Of
Quarter Sessions to revoke any license they
may have granted for the sale of liquors, when
ever the party holding license shall be proved
to have violated any law of this Commonwealth
relating to the sale of liquors, or whenever the
premises of such party shall become the resort
Of idle and disordery persons go as TO disturb the
general peace of the neighborhood."
DECISION FOR THE Law IN MIcHIGAN.---We
gather from various telegraphic reports from
Michigan, that the Supreme Court has recent,
given decisions entirely favorable to the anti
liquor law. The Tribune of Friday, has tele
graphic despatch from Detroit, stating that th
temperance men of that city were firing one hun
dred guns in honor Of the Superme Court deci
sion.
LIouoR LAW IN VERMoNr.-Judge Pierpont ha
decided at, Rutland, that so much of the liquo
prohibition act of that State as direct that sei7
ed liquor shall be destroyed without direct proc
that any has been sold, is unconstitutional
The case goes up to the Supreme Court but
similar decision is apprehended there.
or The Senate Of Ohio has passed Liquc
Law by vote Of l9 to IL. The bill is not
stringent as some in other States, but its fat
in the House is, as yet, doubtful.

New BRANCH STORE AT DovER.-A large
Dry Good and Grocery Store is on the tapis in
Dover. Itbeing proposed that the monies neces-
sary for carrying on said house should be raised
by subscription stock, meeting was held by
number of the enterprising citizens of that
town, on Saturday evening last, who had the
matter under consideration, when it was deter
mined to divide the capital stock into shares of
$500 each. The books were then opened, and
sixty three shares taken. An adjourned meet
ing will be convened on Saturday, the 9th of
May next
We learn that when one hundred shares
of stock shall have been subscribed for, pro-
per officers are to be elected by the share
holders, vested with power to transact busi-
ness, &C.; an agent will also be appointed
to make purchases, which will be at reduced
prices, Of an extensive mercantile establishment
in Boston, to which this store is intended as q
branch.

MAINE LAW LEAouE.--We have received the
address to the voters of Wilmington by the
Maine Law League, and regret we cannot pub
ish it at length, on account of the press of other
matter. Itcommences by saying that the move
ment has its origin in necessity, not i'll choice,
and arises from just consideration of the
wants of community at large. They assert
that intemperance as it comes under the Mu-
nicipal authority is a question of greater
moment than any other, and that neither
of the political parties make it political
issue, or take any proposed steps for its
removal They show that nearly all the
cases before the Mayors court were occasioned
by rum, that strong drink has furnished at
least two-thirds of the present inmates of the
Almshouse. They resolve that the question Of
Prohibition is Of far greater consequence than
any other before the people, and appeal to them
to sustain the Temperance Municipal Ticket.

is there the slightest commiseration for decayed
