Our next COMgrcsSs,,uls.

The time is rapidly approaching when a
representative in Congress is to DC elected
in the place of Mr.. Norton, from this con
grcssional district. We suppose that there
is considerable mancuvering going on among
the aspuants to that Office, but as yet we
have heard Of no one very generally men
toned as candidate for that important post.
. Gov. Ford, in his history Of this state says,
that every political campaign and to con-
siderable extent, co,1 y matters are CHI, H. !
planned and arranged during the session of
the Legislature at Springfield, and we very
often hear the complaint that the offices are
traded oil and bargaincd for term or
two ahead, by the politicians. We would
not say this applied to this county and dis.
trict But we believe the people generally,
ought to take more interest than they do in
bringing out and dctcrmngly who the can
didatcs shall be. BY free Interchange of
opinion they can best tell who would be
most likely to secure the votes Of the people.
and would therefore bring forward the best
men. It's the anxious wish of every demo-
crat that our district should be no longer
misrcprescntcd in Congress; and we only
wish to direct attention to this subject, trust
ing that the voters will take the matter into
their own hands.

ALBANY, July l, 1854.
Enforcing the LieTss LoTs-L<eai Decision
Effect Of Closing the Grog Shops.

ALBANY. July !, 1854.
Enforcing the Licssse Lascs-L<gai Decision
Effect Of Closing the Grog Shops.
The temperance reformers are beginning to ascer-
tain that there is some considerable force life and
effect in our present State laws relative to the liquor
traffic. They now find that they can close every
retail shop Sunday and prevent all grocers from
retailing liquor. Our present Mayor has issued
licenses quite literally. Many have been arrested
for selling under his license, and their case carried
before the Recorders court. That officer has recent
ly decided that the Mayor has ne power to grant
licenses to grocers that his authority extends, I'M
der the laws Of the State, farther than granting
tavern licenses, and to persons living in suitable
places and who possess accommodations for travel
lers and their teams. Now in this city, q dozen
places would suffice for all such practical purposes;
where as, instead Of conforming to the law, almost
indiscriminate latitude has been exercised. The
temperance men say that If they can shut up the
rum shops on Sunday, and prevent the sale except
under honest tavern license, they can greatly d.
minish the evil without resorting to the stringent
measures incorporated in the bill vetoed by the
Governor at the last session.
Some Of our more rabid temperance men, threat
en- to lay the before the grand jury, to ascer
tain whether our Mayor has not OVERSIZE pped the
bounds of duty in granting licenses. II the Recor-
der's decision IL correct, that none but inns or
taverns are allowed under the law, 70 dispense in
small quantities, then the question arises whether
the Mayor IL amenable to indictment for issuing
licenses to the low groggeries upon the docks.
The temperance people have never undertaken
BEFORE to see that our present State laws are en-
forced and they find from the efforts already made,
that nearly all the monstrous evils Of ntemperance
can be subdued, if the magistrates are compelled
to enforce the laws. They have heretofore remain
ed dead letter upon the statutes, merely because
nobody took the responsibility of enforcing them.
The example set foot in this city, should be fol-
lowed all over the State. More good can be &C.
complished by living up to the lays as they now
are, than by undertaking to pass others which al
low private houses to be searched and property to
be destroyed without compensation. Let the
honest and reliable friends Of temperance think Of
this matter, A.

trade pretty considerable in ITSELF they crm ako-
gether but most uncomfortable proportion Of the
whole exports 10 England from the United States;
and in many Of them the o. States are either nonex
porters or exporters while the Colonies are not in
either case removed from any competition which
could be rendered more dangerous by the scale Of du
ties What are these to offset against The admission of
the great staples of bresdstus and cotton at nominal
duties, while the staples Of Great Britain are
charged twenty thirty, or forty per cent in Amer,
can markets Especially, what are they all placed
by the side of the freedom allowed TO the American
shipping interest either to sell sail in any British
ports Granted again, that Great Britain has made
these liberal regulations not to oblige the United
States, but to increase the welfare Of her own
people yet there these regulations are, and If the
Anne ricans do not fit to copy them for their own
benefit, they cannot refuse to recognize them when
considering the freedom allowed by each nation to
the commercial operations OF the other.
There has been, perhaps, too much of DISPOSE
ton shown by our people and our government to
beg for this reciprocity. For our part, while we
value it, we certainly do not vaue It as favor but
as one Of those agreements for mutual benefit,
which both parties lose by neglecting. If it is not
made the United States and this province will still
be cut ont from profitable exchanges that they
might make with each other but certainly what we
shall be deprived Of will not augment the profit OF
the United States.
