WHAT CONES NExT!-The Con.
ncticut legislature recently passed q
law prohibiting circus and theatrical
amuse nepts in that State. The Gov.
ernor signed the bill, aud after that
strange 70 say it was lost. We may
well pause, to ask, "what will next
come under the legislative ban. The
fact of The business is, that law. max
ers seem to he running out of material,
and running the people into npidly
approaching anarchy. The principal
once admitted that the making
power il vested in the Assembled
multitude the necessity for all writ
ten law is ut an end Suppose the
majority Of the Legislature is virtuous-
ly inclined and have desire to make
show Of it,-an pass ord uanccs TO
regulate the tastes and anusemcnts
of the people-suppose that in move
ment Of doubtful utility they invest
the majori'ies with absolute control
over private habits; as FOR instance IN
our own laws prohibitory' Of the sale
Of wines and liquors? Does it not
tend directly to the dissolution of the
social compact? Indeed does it. and
it must so occur in its full force, to
every mind that gives sober mo-
ments thought to these dangerous move
mcnts. Where does any legislature
receive the authority to grant our
neighbors the right to say with form
of law, we shall have no theaters. no
coffee-houses-no "grcg shops" fyou
will? They get it not from God or
man; it is an assumption Of authority,
that no condition can warrant.
There is an honest diff renee of
opinion in rclation to the true aim and
object Of mans existence There are
many people who think that the whole
end is accomplished in wearing long
face, loud prayers every seventh day.
and much Pslam singing-let them
think so; there are others equally sat-
isfed; that We should be open and
honest, frank, and free. and spend fe
as it goes Is there any more reason
for forcing the one than the other, so
as to have 1--WE have mind to >ay)
hypoctacy universal 1t does not
occur so to U.S. Now, we are free to
confess without any trembling Cor the
that we like the Drama
we like a well mixed glass Of Dant.
sic, we like Music and dancing, we
think them one aud all. very exhiler-
nting wholesome things. Should we
put on long faced hyp'critical grin
and say 1--WE do not like these things"
We should lie to nature. Then the
question arises is the Comet man, any
way different in his nerve and sincw-
]esh and blood, mind and body, from
other 'bi-peds ? Apparently it may
be SO, but not really.
There is altogether too much law
making too m nv ordinances on the
statute book that have no reason in

INDIGNATION MEErlNGs.-Our
neichbors in Mississippi still continue
to hold meetings to give force aud ex.
preston to their virtnous indignation.
in reference TO the manner in which
their distinguished fellow-ci'izen the
Hon. John A. Qui,man and others.
have been treated BY U. s. District
Judge in the Crescent city The past
few numbers Of the Watch Tower
published at Faye,'e, are full Of the
subject. and the language is what
might very properly be denomiuated
"strong.'
A. their last meeting, the oath
"lto., they say:
THAT the right freely to speak,
write, aud publish, our sentiments IN
all subjects whatsoever, is p culiarly
an American right that it is of vital
Importance to the people. essential to
our liberties, and formidable to tyrants
only
They give full and unqualified ap-
proval Of the course Of the FiIlibusters
and say:
"That the conduct Of our esteemed
fellnw-c citizen Gen. John A. Qritman.
aud others in having IN so dig"i6ed
and firm manner protested against
the action of Judge Campbell, meets
our fullest appreciation, and bis manly
hearing On that occasion, when the
federal power was thus wantonly used
to deprive him Of his i"alien.ble and
constitutional rights, has endeared him
more than ever, to us his fellow.ci.i-
zen>."
In this they are very near if not
quite right. They also take posi-
ton in reference TO the life tenure OF
Suprem" Judges in this State, very
similar to the one contcndc! for by
this paper at the formation Of the
pr"scn' constitution.

DISTRESSING CONFLAoRARroN.--
Our neighbor Of the Gazette furnished
some Intelligence in an extra on Satur-
day evening. in reference to the great
conAagration then raging in New
Orleans since that time the daily pa.
pers have come to hand, chronicling
in detail, the particulars Of this dis
ing calamity. 1t commenced between
ii and IL o'clock on Saturday, and
Was not suhdued until dark. 1t orig
mated in No. 81 Tchoupitoulas street,
occupied by S. Wright aud E. J. Hart
& Co. The buildings being mostly
filled with iuAammable Western pro-
duce---Lard. Ooil, Whisky, Bacon
&c, the flames ragged with great fury.
The intence heat of the day, and the
difficulty Of obtaining water, rendered
the fire companies comparatively use
less.
AS matter worthy special notice
the proprietor Of the Arcade Hotel,
generously furnished refreshmen' s for
the firemen without money and with
out price.
The loss 10 estimated at near a mill
ion and half dollars, falling princi-
pally on the Crescet and Home Mu-
tual Insurance Companies. The Liv-
