pRoGREss OF TEMPERANCE IN THE SOUTH
The Memphis Enquirer Of the 22d nt. con-
tans powerful appeal to the Legislature Of
Tennessee against the continuance Of the pres
emit license system, @with its swarming brood
of poisonous and pestilential dens, corruptng
negroes entrapIing the unwary and inexpe-
rienced, poisoning all who drink at them, and
promoting brawls, robberies, and murders with
out limit We think the truthful description
here SO briefly given Of the emanations from
the present laws, should alone be sufficient to
induco every patriotic, moral, religious, or Phil
anthropic member of the Legislature to act
promptly and vigorously in the good work Of
reform; but the editor makes what he appears
to consider still more potent appeal to their
judgments or feelings, by assuring them that
Il they do not proceed with alacrity, new
party will be formed, composed Of a sort Of
fellows who jump at anything that promises
to set them ahead Pc selfish demagogues p
aone-idea hobby riders;v formidable in dis.
turbing existing old political associations, hut
powerless to accomplish anything valuable or
useful"
IL the Legislature does not heed the present
appeal, however, these terrible fellows will as
suredly rule the State with their "one-idea.v
SO let them look to it in time Their political
salvation depends upon it!
EIIaU BURRITT--This learned and eloquent
gentleman is doing good work in persisting
with his ocean penny postage project, and an
occasional word for the cause Of peace and ar
filtration stipnlations in treaties; but, now that
he is On this side Of the Atlantic again, we
think the people Of many Of our cities would
be grati6ed to hear him in their public halls
upon these and othar topics also,
THE ONE TERM PRINcIPLE.--The Phladel-
phia Pennsylpanian repudiates this as a part
Of the Democratic creed. 1t quotes the exam
pies Of Jefferson, Jackson, Madison, and Mon
roe, and Of Wolf, Porter and Skunk, in it's
own State, and adds:
"The one-term rule has never been endors
ed by our Democratic oonventions--it has new
or received the sanction Of our wisest states
men-it is not regarded with favor by any
great number Of our party friends, and no one
but dolt would dream Of classifying it with
the grand principles Of Democracy Itisop-
posed to the almost nnhroken practice of the
Democracy
10 Could they 1.-THE Pope and his Nuncio,
Bedini catch me in the Roman territories
doing my duty rs a minister of the Gospel
g they would instantly consign me to q felon's
..lly L. n
whom the Governor Of New York recently in
vited, with others, to his house, without APP
priaing him Of the purpose,) to render homage
to the Nuncio and his suite in canonical regi-
mentals. We venture the opinion, that before
this Bedni shall be, a year gone from our
shores many of those who now fatter him
with their attentions, will be reluctant to con-
fess the fact. We speak of Bedini, not as o
Catholic, but as an enemy to the cause Of Free
dom in Europe
PRoGREss IN GEoRGIA.--In the Legisature,
q bill was recently introduced to establish
system Of common school education in the
State and to appropriate 100000 for the cd
ucstion Of poor children in the different coun-
ties. This is well. There are energy, liberal :
ity enterprise, rich lands and lovely climate,
in Georgia. She is destined to be great
member Of this Confcderacy. Railroads, man.
ufactures, education, and freedom, will render
her 80.
ARRlvAL OF THE UNITED SrATEs-New Or
leans, Jan. 2.--The steamer United States has
arrived here from Aspinwall, with dates to the

The health Of Panama was good. The pas
sengcrs Of the wrecked steamer Winfield Scott

The Panama railroad had been opened to
Obispo.
There was nothing new from California or
Oregon.
10 In the police reports published 10
New Orleans paper, ID is stated that the Christ
mas holydays proved anything but holy days.
Very like. IL is great misnomer SO to call
them.
10 Mr.. Guizot, we see il stated was the
twenty. second child Of his parents; all the
