We learn from the Alexandria Gazette that

the passage of the bin organize the Territories
Of Nebraska and Kansas, was held pursuant fa

the Goth day of June, 1854, at which, the hon

rerorted an address to the people of the United

The duty on AMERcAY T,BAcoo, imported in
TO England, says the n. York Express, is only
about twelve hundred per cent 80 we learn
from the British Chancellor Of the Excheqner, who
on looking about to find articles which will hear
the increased rate of duty during the war with
Russia, thinks that tobacco duty viii dons it is
particularly as he adds- that this revenue is inn
proving from year to year. We quote;
That is a wonderful state Of things, and think
it one of those easesao which to apply the doc
trine of let well alone. iHear, heGr.) We're we
to tamper with it, pc, think we should get a
very large sum. We might break down the rev
enue aitogether,and enable the snuggier to have
the upperhand."
This duty of 1900 per cent. yields n revenue
of about $25000,000 and and all derived from
one article of American production. That will
do for a free trade country, and for a Govern
ment as fond of free trade treaties as Great Brit
ain is.
The duty upon tobacco in Great Britain has
varied considerably in fifty years In ls0, il
was Is 7d;in 1911 it was raised to 2s2d; in 1891
it was further raised to As; in 1881 it was reduc-
ed to 3s-at which sun it remains, and yielding
more than twice than twice the the value of the
tobacco exported from the United States. The
revenue has also doubled within thirty years

Veto OF the Temperance Bill.

The New York papers publish the Mes
sage of Governor Seymour of that State,
returning to the New York Senate. with his
objections, the temperance BILL The Mes
sage presents the principal objections urged
against the measure, which are, in substance,
as follows
''That the right OF the citizen to be secure
from unreasonable searches, which is guat-
antied to him by the constitution. is violated
by the provisions OF the bill. which athori-
yes, merely for the sake of discovering evil
dence of the possession of intoxicating IL
quors. intrusions aud searches in domiciis
which it is not now lawful to break open and
enter, even in case Of murder aud other
heinous crimes.
''That the seizure OF liquors, followed BY
their forfeiture and destruction as directed
by the bill, is contrary to that provision of
the constitution which forbids the taking of
private property without compensation and
due process of law"
That. contrary to the constitution. the
bill compels persons suspected of offences
against it's provisions to become witnesses
against themselves.
That the bill provides for prcnouncing
sentence against persons suspected of being
concerned in the sale of Intoxicating liquors.
without the complete proof which, in other
criminal cases, is always required by law
THAT the extreme severity of the provis-
ions of the bill will prevent It's due execu-
ton in mary places, make it difficult every
where, and finally in all probability lead to
the general neglect Of its enforcement.
The Governor also asserts his own belief
that "habits Of intomperance cannot be ex-
tirpated by prohibitory laws that "tem-
perance. like other virtues, is not produced
by the law makers, but by the influence OF
education, morality, and religion
The Senate on the lst instant refused to
pass the bill over the veto of the Governor,
so that it cannot become law
