That law bad licensed, b. made Tenpeianer reel"
Let MS thank God that the day of
such civilized barbarism has pass
ed away.
When we call to mind what has
been done, let us take courage let
us press on till complete victory
has been achieved.
The experience of nearly a year
has shown conclusively that the
present law is well adapted to pro-
tect the community from the evil of
tipping, and excessive drunkenness.
In some counties, it is true, It has
not put an entire end to drinking.
We do not live in an age of miracles.
Yet there are wonders IN our day.
The admirable working of this law
is not the least of them. Consider
ing the efforts, secret and open,
which have been made TO evade and
oppose it, it is cause of most pro-
found gratitude, that the law has al
ready produced such marked, such
beneficial effects. What law-tak-
ing the peculiar circumstances and
difficulties of the case into view
was ever more successful in It's ope-
ration Just IN proportion as the
carrying out the provisions of the
law has been entrusted To It's sincere
friends, just in that proportion has il
been efficient in putting a stop TO IN
temperance in the community. And
more; even IN those townships
where the agents for the sale of Id
uor have been known to be not
friends of the law, but It's open OPP
posers, even there the law has had
a good eflect-at least, as good, or
better than that of any which has
preceded it. Iii recent journey on
the west side of the mountain, wher-
ever | inquired, | heard but one tes-
timony as to the beneficial work
ing of the law. In most towns piS-
IDLE intemperance has ceased. If
men now become intoxicated, i, is
in retired place, and in a pirate
way. Even rumsellers Git such
there are have to take care of their
victims, till they know enough to
keep a secret. Yes under the con-
straining influence of this law, ev-

The Result Of the Conference Of American Min
listers at 0stend-The Immediate. Acquisition

Our private advices enables us to state with
certainly the result OF the ministerial and am
bassado!ial conference recently held ct Os,
tend, and the object of which was, ii appears,
to determine upon q line of policy by which
our diff 'ul,ies with Spain would be a justed,
and that government induced TO make repara.
ton for past oulrases aad indignities upon our
citizens and commerce, as well IS security for
the future.
The conference necessarily brought up for
discussion the peculiar position in which the
Government Of The United States is placed by
the re fusal of Spain 10 afford any suitable sat-
~isfaciion for The Black Warrior and other out
RACES; or, indeed, 10 continue negotia. lions
upon the subject. Matters have arrived at
that crisis where nothing is left for the United
States but either 10 abandon the whole ques.
t on or TO continue it in a manner which will
afford no opportunity for further shnffiing.-
Such being the opinion Of MeSsrs. Buchanan,
Mason and Soule, We are net surprised to learn
that they agreed 10 recommend thatthe Govern
ment of the United States should declare, in
effect, that our safety demanded and our in
~terests required we should purchase or take
Cuba a. once.
It's understood that MI. McRse, our Consul
at Paris, who arrived here in the arabia, was
the bearer Of the dispatches conveying this re-
commentator Of the American Ministers, and
urging upon the President Immediately to
make the avowal, and take steps TO carry il
into effect. The matter 10 now being DELHI
Grated upon by the Cabinet at Washington,
and the country will look with deep interest to
the resuls.-Asis York Herald, III inst,
