A VERy IMpoRrANr MATER

n VERY IMPORTANT MATTER .---
While sundry appropriations, are be
ing made to open streets in tN back
side of the town-streets that leaJ nc
where in particular, we would call
the attention of the city fathers to the /,
condition Of the Steam boat landing,
If II did not cave in and slide away
now and then, this might be we'll de-
nominated standing subject of local
interest Provisions has been made
for high water, by building wharf at
the foot Of Florida st. but nothing has
been done for low water. If boats
continue to land at the wharf boat,
and put their freight upon the delspiia-
ted wharf of Mess Pike & Hart, those
gentlemen should have permission to
repair it, or the corporation might af-
ford to give some temporary repairs.
As the matter now is, the Corporation
has taken the Wharf from them, and
will neither repair it or let them.
The present rickety condition Of things
demand attention, for it is positively
dangerous to life and limb. It will
probably remain thus until some val
liable mau falls through and breaks
his neck then when the city has to
pay his asignees, heavy bill of "dam
ages the necessary repairs on the
wharf will be made.
Good citizens should reflect a mo-
ment on the importance Of good

Couldn't do it. Every thing good is
imported, and the ratio Of its good
ness is measured altogether by the
distance it comes.
We would have tceclose up the "onc
horse city" and leaEs it like drowning
rats, if it were not for what we induce
people to bring here. For this reason
a safe place should be provided to
land it. This is the very least that
can be done, since much that comes ia
never paid for.

cause, is in town, and VII deliver a
lecture on that interesting subject, at
the Methodist Church to night, to
which the enemies. as well a, the
friends Of the late Legislative move
lnents, are invited to listen.
Harmon is an eloquant defender of
the radical side the side that would
root out, dethrone, and exterminate
what is depominated king Alcohol" !"
Our only objection to Harmon, is, that
he overshoots the mark. lie is too
impetuous in his enthusiasm and not
unfiequently in his discourse, throws
down the chart and compass of reason
As we think, he is ammo9erateiv
temperate.
The tide has set in, and immodera-
tion is the order Of the day Mankind
has ever been-and hence We may
argue ever will be. prone to all man
ner of extremes. There is no disposi-
tion to stop at the half way house, at
which point the two extremes meet to
unite, in soberness and reason.
We fall out Of An age Of beastly
drunkenness, to fall into an opposite
extreme, in which eenviviality is wrong
ly denominated unholy and degrading.
We charge to the account Of exces-
sive goodness (perhaps it may be de-
nominated piety) all the mad fanati
cism Of our Northern bretheren. They
are 80 intemperately concerned about
the welfare and happiness of others,
they forget their own, and in their
eagcrness to point out the path of rec
titude to others, miss the narrow and
streight way themselves. The nature
and tendency Of the human mind is to
extremes. There is no such thing as
admitting man to be moderately
great, he must be deifed whilst living
and canncniEed as a saint when dead.
The great evils Of old, are the same
met with daily. All government in
its first form, is Despotic, then this
changes to Democratic, then this falls
into mobocracy, and back again to
Despotism. This is the tendency of
our own government; it is surfcited and
becoming sick with the democratic
idea, III which all personal liberty
must become lost.
There is an excessive intemperance
in every,hing-a disposition to run
off of the track Of truth and reason.
The Church itself is over solicitous for
the salvation Of souls, and forgets her
personal safety, in the universal Scram-
bic with benevolent societies, after
people who would get along better ifI
they wore left alone.
