Temperance.

Several of the public journals Of our
State having expressed an opinion on the
subject of temperance, and the most appro-
pirate mode Of promoting the cause, we
deem it both meet and proper that we
should. as the conductor of a paper, define
our position.
As the object of the present movement
upon the subject is to bring the matter in
to the halls of legislation, and to invoke the
strong arm of the law, to put down intem-
pcrance and its many evils, it would be
well to give the subject a careful investiga-
ton
1t is at once, obvious that no law, that
does not carry with it the sanction of public
opinion-that does not accord with the spir-
it and genius of the people for whose benefit
it was enacted. in a government constituted
as ours is, is ever enforced It becomes
then the duty of those who are taking the
lead in cause of such great Importance to
the State. to study well what kind of legal
enactment. for the suppression of the vice
of intemperance, public opinion will sustain
and strictly enforce.
We proclaim ourself s.eadfast and un-
yielding advocate of temperance, and are
ready to enlist in an unceasing war against
intemperance and all its attendant evils
but how is that war to be waged Not By
the esta ablishment of fashionable saloons and
finely decorated cofee-houses as has been
suggested, nor by the enactment of the
Maine Liquor Law; but by process. in
our opinion, much more in accordance with
Southern feeling. and much more in keep
ing with the spirit of progress and improve
ment that characterizes the present day.
We would suggest, therefore, the enactment
of alaw that will leave i. with the qualified
voters of each township of every county in
the State, to say whether spirituous liquors
shall be retailed within their respective linn
its, for any other than medical and mechan-
ical purposes.
We venture the prediction, that law of
this character, would meet the unqualified
appreciation of a large majority of the citi-
zens Of nearly every township in the State
when the question is properly brought be-
fore them. When thus appealed to, to lend
their aid and influence. to suppress a unirer-
sally acknowledged evil. every rejecting cit
izen would respond readily. and every one
who had any regard for the morals, the
peace, and the happiness Of his neighbor-
hood, would vote against granting license
to retail dram-shops, and would cheerfully
lend his aid and influence in enforcing the
law to nreYeut lis ill.pal sala

Swamp Lands.

We copy the following articlc from the
Gazette & Democrat. 2 fully endorsing the
views therein expressed.
1t is said that bill has been introduced
in the House of Representatives. to release
the several States in which they lie. from
the obligation of rcclaiming the Swamp
Lands. already granted to them by the gov
ernment, on condition Of their being re-
claimed.
We hope such bill may not pass. The
lands without being reclaimed are valuclcss;
and, a law releasing the States from the OBJ
legation of reclaiming them, instead of be-
ing blessing. would be a curse.
The Swamp Lands have, ever since the
formation of our government, been barrier
to emigration. and hung as dead weight
on the Advancement of our State. The
prospect Of their reclamation, and, the prac-
tical reclamation of a part of them. have,
within the past three years, given a new
impetus to the prosperity and advancement
of the State. Whole regions of country,
heretofore annually submerged. and tenant
ed only by frogs and alligators. have been
reclaimed and converted into the most vau-
bla, as it is the richest, cotton land in the
State Vast regions of country are yet to
reclaim. And the reclamation Of these
lands will be defeated entirely. by removing
the condition attached to the grant, that
they should be reclaimed. The first Legis-
lature after they are released, will COM
mence the work, which will not be ended,
until the whole of the grant is squandercd.
The friends of this law say that, i. will
enable the States to make grants of swamp
lands to Railroad companies They may
grant the lands, it is true, but. unless they
are reclaimed. they are valueless. If the
States be permitted to 60 on and reclaim
their swamp lands, when so reclaimed and
enhanced in value, and many of them put
in cultivation, the taxes accrung to the
State from them, and the additional wealth
they will induce to come among us. will do
more towards the building of Railroads
and works of Internal Improvement than
could be done with the whole grant, with
out reclamation.
There is. besides, an implied, if not an
expressed obligation. on the part of the
State, to reclaim all swamp lands, which she
has sold. Good faith to :he purchasers, de-
mands that she should do this and, it is
not right that she should permit herself to
be crippled. and deprived of her ability
to comply with her obligations in this be-
half
We enter our protest against the passage
of the law now pending before Congress
believing, as we do, that it is the true inter
est of the States TO reclaim the swamp lands
first, and then, what is left of the grant and
the taxes and wealth accruing to the State
from what she has disposed of in the re-
clamatoa. will enable her to aid in Internal
Improvements more than the Chole grant
would aid her now, without reclamation.

Purchase OF the Nsesss1a valley

The New Orleans Picayune of the 18th
inst, announces the arrival, in that city of
Gen. Gadsden, on bis way to Washington
city, with copy of a treaty with Mexico
fer the purchase of the Mesilla Valley
The price is supposed to be somewhere be :
tween S1S000,00O, and s26, 100000.
We regard the consummation of this trea-
ty with Mexico as matter of very great i'm
portance, as it settles a subject of dispute
and removes all cause Of irritation between
this government and Mexico. We are not
aware that the acquisition of the Mesilla
Valley will add much to the wealth of the
United States, On account of its soil, climate,
or the character of its inhabitants, but the
great Importance of its acquisition is, that
1t settles at once the question that the Pacific
Railroad will be built, and adds the last and
only required link in favor of the Southern
route for the road The whole course of
events, seem to have an inevitable tendency
towards the Southern route, whether built
by the combined influence of private capital
and the aid of the Government, or by either.
The position of Arkansas in relation to the
Pacific road, is daily becoming more i'm
portant, and the responsibility resting upon
those at the head of her Railroad interests
already very great. is hourly increasing.
How they will acquit themselves remains
for the development of the future.
