we are apt to treat the idea Of our own corrupti-

aware of its approaches.

THn LTouoR LAW.

The law passed at the late session of our Leg
islature designed for the suppression of retailing
spurious liquors, and for mitigating the evil Of
intempeance. places the power either to pro-
hibit or permit the existence of liquor shops in
the hands of the legal voters. AS this law takes
effect from and after lis passage-an opportunity
will very soon occur for testing its efficacy, and
/ of reducing the provisions Of the bill to an ex
pertinent. In several localities of the State the
law has already began to work. In Natchez the
contest has actually began, as the following ex-
tract from correspondence of the Free Trader
win show: Some Of our citizens have been in
duced to sign petitions for granting licenses to
retail spirituous liquors many have steadily re.
fused, and will continue to refuse some have in

our citizens by this law. Those who aid in Oh

The GADsDEN TREATY Provisions. fol
lowing are the principal provisions of Mr. Gads-
den's treaty, now before the Senate:
Ist. The new boundary commences two ma
rine leagues north of the mouth of the Colora-
do. giving US no access to the Gulf Of Calilor
MIA, and goes between latitude thirty-one and
thirty-two to the one hundred and eleventh de-
gree of longitude west of Greenwich.
ID. 1t abrogates the 11th article of the treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and cancels all claims oil
Mexican citizens under that article to date o.
ratification.
81. The United States pay fifteen millions OF
dollars in monthly installments of three millions
each-the first payable on ratifying the treaty.
4th. Reserves five millions for claims of Am
erican citizens in Mexico, including the Garay
grant.
5th. Both Governments agree to put down
flibusterism, and pursue the filibusters with
army and navy into the others territory.
9th. Agrees to refund goods and chattels sto-
len by Indians from citizens of the others coun-
try
The President amends No. 5 by striking out
the pussuit by land and sea into the others ter
ritory, and he amends No. by not mentioning
any particular claim.
The amendments are very important. The
treaty viii be ratified in its new form.

This distinguished exile is at present the shi-
ming object of all the scorn and vituperation of
the abolitioniss. The flood gates of abuse have
been raised and torrent OF foul ISLANDERS and bit
ter denuncations turned upon him. The press
and the clergy. and even the champions of wo-
mans rights are pursuing him with the deep hate
of fanaticism, only because in establishing him
kelf as The editor of On independent journal, he
tdAlE patriotic stand by the constitution, and
dared to avow his honest opinions touching the
great question of the day in opposition to theirs.
In speaking upon this subject, the Richmond
Enquirer says
"To John Mitchell is due The gratitude of all
true patriots and lovers of the Constitution, for
the boldness with which he plants his powerful
blows upon the fanatics and traitors TO the con-
stitution headed by Henry Ward Beecher In
the last weeks "Citizcp" he declares himself
strongly in favor of the passage of the Nebras-
ka BILL and sets forth his view of the case in the
following terms:
''For our part, we would hail its adoption as
another triumph of the patriotism and good
sense of Congress, over the folly, fanaticism and
treason which would dismember this glorious
Union, by the vain pursuit of an empty shadow
TO the loss and destruction of the substance.
kis grand mistake, an abuse of language, to
call the Missouri Compromise compact between
North and South. IL it was in the nature of a
compact, it is rendered null and void by later
one, the Compromise of 1850. If it is conten-
ded that the first alone is valid. then we reply
that there is one older still, and far more bind
ing-the compact of the Constitution. But
there can be no compact made By Congress in
its legislation for all the States in common 1t
cannot pass law to bind its successors and pos
teuty for all future time; and least Of all, can
a geographical line prevail over great principle
aud say, ''thus far shalt thou come, and no fur
ther." The principle now at stake is, that the
people in every State and every territory have
a right to make their own laws, and no Con-
gress has the power to prevent them.

Death of Gen. Armstrong.

The mournful intelligence of the death Of this
noble hero and patriot has already reached the
limits Of this republic. The death of man
possessed Of such ennobing qualities and distin-
guished talents as the deceased, Cannot be re-
guarded in any other manner than national ca
lamity. His life was prolonged beyond the usu-
al period ofexistence allotted to man, and the un-
common ability and energy with which he was
endowed, was from his early days consecrated to
the service and defence of his country. On sew
eral occasions he was called upon to fill public
Offices of importance and responsibility by the
government, and the satisfactory manner in
which he discharged these trusts is known to the
country. Peace to the honored dead, and Heav-
en- rest the soul of this aged patriarch. and may
his character, fertile in every great and good
qualification belheld up as an example to initiate,
and his memory cherished with pride by his
countrTmen.
