The True Science of Politics.

The true science of politics would dictate
the expulsion of this great disturbing evil in
temperance fromithe world, if its expulsion is
within the rage Of governmental powers. 1t
would % 50 because the general good, the
prosperity Of the people as whole require it;
because the aggregate Of human happiness
would be Increased BY Il; bscsuse men would
be made wiser, more moral, more virtuous, bet
ter citizens by its expulsion, because they would
better fed, better clothed, have better houses
would enjoy more pence, would be more secure
in their rights; because there would be- less
sorrow-tewet affections Visited upon them /;
because it would lessen the number OF widows
and orphans, diminish the amount Of paupersm,
reduce taxation, lessen or me. As all these
thing sare the elements OF progress, and prosperi-
~ of nation, It follows that the true SC lence

Strange are the works OF Providence and bis
ways past iindiug out! sss' M
On the 30th uli., WILLIAM Dawson, in the
prime Of life and beauty OF manhood, was call.
ed BY Providence from time to eternity.
The subject of thi. brief notice was man
O; Integrity aud genuine prhciple--h.s char.
acter was irreproachable. He was an honest,
industr Gus and cnterprisiag farmer. His i. :
trinsic worth in the community IN VIII CHI he
resided, caunot be described in this Lrief notice.
His examplo for industry, enterprise, frugality,
bencvoienco, temperance aud spirituality, was
salutary upon tho minds oil his neighbors--he
has left Il vacuum in the community that cam
not be adequately filed. .......
He was member and a steward Of the NJ.
E. Church. As a member he was truly consis-
tent, and as a steward he could not be surpiss-
ed. He was kind husband, an induIgent
father, an excellent neigbbor and good c.ti-
zen. The real loss Of sucl man in any COM
munity cannot be described with the pen nor
painted with the pencil. y
The question doubtless W II arise here, how
did such an excellent man diet We are happy
to answer, that he died as he had lived, cur .
.tian--that God, whom he had served in health,
forsook him not in death. When brought into
the precincts of Jordan's purple waves, he was
then and there able to testify his entire resigna-
tion to the will Of God--being infinitely happy
in Jesus love. - q.
Thus has passed away one OF the excellent
Of the earth, to return no more until the morn
of tho resurrecten. While we, hin friends,

Provost a cooper OF this city, gong to the diff
tsreat inhaatants Of Smyrna, and borrowing
and trimming in debt all he could, and then run
nhig away. We have been informed that he
was previously Il resident of this city, nd that
he here bore the character of an upright hon

that he could not act in the way he described.

We know not what the Herald said about
the affair, as we did not see the statement made
in tba. paper; but the account given in the
.sTINEsP is substantially true. When man
is involved in debt, and is SO disheattcned that
he cannot "tace" his creditors, he is certainly
an object Of pity; but when he defrauds those
vhs have bsfsiended him, he is unworthy Of
sympathy. .~'as,-" i..'7 '-''. ''s-
