NEW YORK LIQUoR LAW VETOED.

The New York Legislature passed a law
a short time since, to lake effect in Decem.

;oxicaling liquors, except by persons spe-
cially licensed TO retail them for mechani.
cal or medicinal purposes, and a sale for
any other purpose, or by any other person.

a fine of S25 for The first offense. $50 for
the second, and for the third 500 fine,
and an imprisonment notices. than 80 days
nor more than six months. Ii also provi-
ded for the search Of the premises where,
under the oath Of one or more persons,
liquor may be alledged TO be sold The
bill was vetoed by Gov. SEYMOUR, in a
long message, for The following reasons:
"lst. That the bill yibates the right Of
citizens, guaranteed by the Constitution Of
the United Sales, 10 be secure FROM unrea.
sonable searches. Domicils heretofore
guarded from all searches except for stolen
property, are by its provisions, to be search.
ed merely for the evidence Of guilt.
"2nd. That its provisions for the seiz-
ure, forfeiture and destruction Of liquors,
are inconsistent with the guarantee OF the
Constitution Of this State, that 'private
properly shall not be taken without com
pensa,ion, nor without due proof of Law ;
I'D. That ii will weaken The cause Of
Temperance-by associaling i, with injus.
lice and oppression:
"4th, That il is so stringent and op,
pressive, that il cannot be equally executed
everywhere, nor fully executed anywhere
and by remaining unexecuied will diminish
the popular respect for The law and lis off.

An effort 10 pass the bill in spite Of the
veto, failed. Grea, excitement prevailed
in New York and Albany, when il was

JOHN MITCHELL ON THE EASTERN
QUESTION.

JOHN MrrcHELL has published an appeal
to his Irish brethren, in his paper, the CHI.
zen, in which he advises them TO side with
Russia in The coming struggle. He claims
that a revolution in Europe must take place
somewhere, in case Of war, and that il
the Western Powers are defeated, that The
tide Of revolution viii roll westward, and
that in that case Russia will assis, them.
He even proposes, ii is said, 10 get up an
Irish invasion Of Canada, by tho assistance
Of Russia, for the purpose of hsrrassine
England, as soon as she shall be engaged
10 the European war. His appeal Is q

Right glad are We that this bill has been
sent to the foot Of The Calendar, where
II will probably not be reached, until The
voice Of the people is heard upon Il. All

Even the South is turning against it. Al
ready have three southern members in the
House spoken againslit, and resolutions in
favor of the bill, have failed in the Ten
nesse Legislature. A latc number Of the
Louisville Journal, says that The public
sentiment of the South is manifesly under;
going a rapid change regarding the Nebras-
ka bill, and il is not Improbable that, long
before it shall be brought to a vote in The
House. the entire SoaM WiW condemn il

The issue has been made, has resulted disas-
,rously to its friends. Petitions are daily pre-
scented in both Houses of Congress against
il, and the greatest and purest Statesmen

Terms. Indignation meetings are being held
in all quarters. Never has there been such
a universally Of opinion among the people

this bill. sol
Adviccs from Washington, state that
a new bill will probably be introduced in
the House, by a southern msmber, similar
to DOUGLAS bill, without saying anything
about slavery. 1t is also rumored that an
entire new bill will be introduced into the
same branch, for The organization Of the
Territories in question, similar in its pro.

latter is just what the people Of The North

WHY ARE HIGH.


Perhaps on no subject Of equal imPor'
lance 10 the people. Is there a greater want
Of ligh. and correct information, Than the
subject of taxation. The people Of this
State have been compelled 10 pay enor-
mOusly high .axes during the past year,
and they feel certain that there is a screw
loose somewhere. As,he Democratic Pal
~ are in power now, The Wing papers are
loud in their complaints Of high taxes, and
lay all The blame upon the Legislature and
the State Government, whereas the fault is
really with the people themselves.
Mr.. ATKINSON, from the Committee on
Finance aud Taxation, haslately introduced
a bill into the Senate, TO provide for the
partial payment Of the State debt. Accom-
panying the bill, the Committee have also
presented an able exposition Of the State
Finances, in the shape Of a report. From
this we learn, that " OF all the increased
taxes Of las, year, only two hundred and
6lty.seven thousand, four hundred and
lorty.four dollars and eighty cents, came
into the State Treasury {; the remainder,
amounting 10 loo millions and a half
Of dollars, was collected for Township,
School, Corporation. and other special pur-
poses" And the Committee justly add,
that the place TO correct this evil Of high
taxation, is in the hands Of the County
Commissioners, City Councils, Township
Trustees, and other local authorities, who
exercise the power Of taxation :"
The report Of the Committee confirms
The statement maLe by US some time since,
that the real cause Of our taxes being sc
high, was mol on account of the State levy
being materially increased, but rather the
result Of The NAL administration Of some o
our local authorities. The taxes in thi;
county during the past year, were some
what increased 10 defray the expenses in,
cured in the erection of our new Cour
House. But the fac, canno, be disguised
that an onerous tax was imposed upor
some townships by the Boards Of Edu
cation, for School purposes.
The remedy, therefore, as the repor
shows, is with the people themselves. The
Offices o. School Director, Township Trus
lee and County Commissioner. assumes
additional importance when viewed in Thu
light. The place to apply the corrective
is in the election of these officers. If iht
people wish their taxes decreased, they
must select men who will administer iheil
local affairs with economy and discretion
They must select their best business mer
men who are honest and capable-and
if the evil is not corrected blame them, fol-
they alone will be responsible.
