A thorough reform Of infrmaries

Our public schools are considered as
Of vital import for the maintenance OF

THE GERMAN REFORM CONVENTION.


platform adopted by this CONVENTION
at its recent meeting in Cincinnati:
The superiority of the United States
over that of any other country, Is adj
mitted, at the same time it evidently
can be amended.
1t recommends the election Of the
President and Vice President by the
people.
Representatives, for dereliction of
duty, to be recalled, if a majority Of
their constituents deem necessary.
Slavery not to be extended beyond
its present boundaries, at the present
moment, and in the meantime every
constitutional exertion shall be made
to abolish it throughout the States, in
conformity with the Declaration of
Independence, which declares every
man was born free and equal" also
unremitting exertion to obtain a repeal
OF the 'Fugiye Slave Law"
The public lands are the property of
the people and shall not be sold or
given TO States or corporations, but
shall be used for the benefit of the
settler, who shall receive his grant and
be protected by the Government. II
he beanemigrant from iassig country
having declared his intentions, he shall
be entitled to the same privilege as a
native born citizen. This to extend TO
all colors.
As when an European declares his
intention to become AN American citi-
zen, be abandons all claim to protection
from his mother country, so is he
entitled as much to be projected by the
government Of his adopted. country
as il he had served his time of proba.
ton. Hence we demand the inter-
ference Of the United States Govern.
ment to protect US, when abroad, from
the tyranny OF foreign potentates.
The time OF non.interyention is past.
We are 80 intimately connected, po-
litically and commercially. with the
old world. that we can no longer main.
tain that position.
A reduction of the salaries Of public
officers, ofeyery grade, in the General
and State Government. Is particularly
insisted on.
The Pacific Railroad is strongly
recommended as Government work
Freedom of conscience advocated;
no religious test necessary for Office,
or what is termed iniidelity. to incapa-
citate citizen from being considered
good and truthful witness. The
Bible to be no longer considered text
book for schools. The Sunday laws TO
be abolished, as also the right Of the
Governors of States to issue procla-
nations for thanksgiving days.
Catholic ecclesiastics. who are no.

eign potentate--thc Pope--shall be
considered. as they are. anti-republi-

S. w. SwrooErr. ESQ.

We publish the above that our read
ers may see what is the opinion of the
oldest editor in the State about the
price of getting up good paper. Our
experience agrees with his views
When we took charge Of the American
our first move was TO raise the price oil
the American from one dollar TO one
and half and we only regret that we
did not put II at two dollars at once
To this price we must come, or fail to
make the paper pay expenses--some'
thigno true friend would be willing to al
low. As it's, We have lost several sub.
scribcrs. two thirds ofall discontinuances
we have had beng because we will not
lctthem have thepaper 1t the same price
that Mr.. Clarkson did. He said he
saw his mistake. we see ours, and we
will correct II as soon us possible.
True, as we could see no justice in
charging some men higher than others,
we allowed those who had heretofore
paid two dollars 10 take the paper at
one fifty. Our terms are uniform but
TOO low.

xassacHusErrs LIQUOR LAW

The whisky press are rejoicingover
the decision of the Supreme Coult Of
Massachusetts, declaring the fourteenth
section of the Prohibitory Liquor Law
Of that State unconstitutional. But
from the following. which we cop. from
the Commonwealth, it will be seel that
the decision is not against the principle
oil search. seizure, and con6sation,
but the method by which itws ac-
complished by that act. We doubt not
the Legislature at this or the next ses-
sion, viii remedy the objections:
"Chief justice Shaw, in the Supreme
Court this morning delivered a long
and elaborate opinion, coscnrred in by
the whole Court, tho the fourteenth
section of the LiqucsLaw, which pro-
vides for the seizure and destruction
of spirituous liquors Lept for sale
contrary to&w. is unconstitutional and
void.
The Chief Justice, in commencing,
way careful to say that this decision
aoes not affect the validity Of other
provisions of the statute, various pros
ecutions under them having. in fact,
been already sustained by the Court
He also fully admitted the power of the
Legislature to provide for the destruc-
ton Of spirits or other property, held
for purposes in violation of law. But
he said that the Court considered that
this fourteenth section did not provide
such protection against searches and
seizures, and such a mode Of trial as
the Constitution guarantees. The
Court considered this section uncon-
stitutional mainly on the following
grounds.
l. That no person was required to be
named in the complaint as the owner
or keeper of the liquor, complained
against.
9. That the section authorizes the
seizure of any liquor found on the
premises, andnotmerely thatcomplained
against.
,. That under this section a person
might be convicted and fined or i'm
prisoned, without any complaint being
made against him setting forth any Of
fence.
4. That the section makes no pro-
visions for any trial of the offence OF
keeping liquor for sale; but authorizes
a party to be punished for his offence,
on presumption Of guilt, unless he
proves himselfinnocent.
This DECISIONS a very important one
but it should not discourage the friends
Of temperance. The other provisions
Of the statute, which have already
passed the ordeal of the Supreme Court
afford powerful and efectual means o
suppressing the sale of spirits. Thei
efficacy has been already well tested
And this opinion Of the Supreme Cour
itself suggests the mode for providing
for searches and seizures of liquor
which shall not be obnoxious to the OBJ
jections which have overwhelmed tn,
fourteenth section Of the present law
Can we hope for such an amendmen
of the statute by the present Lesisla
ture.
