the provincial Assembly Of New Brunswick
Queen Victoria said that she could not sign such
laws. ssfor she held them to be contrary to the
liberties Of an English subject. We are most
heartily Of the good little Queens opinion; and
We think, moreover, that the liberties of an
american citizen ought to be quite as great as
those Of an English subject.
Lin the North, all this sort of legislation has
been attended with most serious mischiefs
Angrily resisted by one-half the world, and
fanatically urged by the other half, it has
kindled up discussions the most violent, on all
sides, in country where GOOD knows y there
was already a large superabundance Of kinks
and quarrels. The liquor law has added to
these another pestilent one, which sows divisions
in communities, infamilies, in churches, in par
ties, and mingling even in politics, has con
trived to augment their fury, their confusion
and their dishonesty
Our story Of the Liquor law is, for the present,
told Perhaps it would have been more polite
to keep it to ourselves For, in this very free
country Of ours, every body wants you to help
along his own lame opinions; to punish You if
you won't; to punish you the more, the more
his opinions are limping ones The fact isthat
speaking the truth is q very poor trade; and
we have very little expectation of ever making
fortune by it. But that the competition is
extremely limited, we should never have made

SHAMEFUL D1sHoNEsrY.-As proof of
the extensive adulteratiOn of liquors in this
country, the New York Sun says that more
port wine is drank in the United States in
one year than passes through the, Custom
House in ten; that more champagne is
consumed in America alone than the whole
champagne district produces; that cognac
brandy costs four times as much in France
where it is made, as it is retailed for in
our grog shops; and that the failure of the
whole grape crop in Madeira produced no
apparent diminution in quantity or in
crease in the price of wine:

HWe copy the following from the
Prunytown Gazette, merely for the pur-
pose of correcting any wrong impression
that might be made by it:
CLARxsBuRa, Sept. 10. 1854.
DEAR MoRR1s Our Circuit Court sat
to-day-Judge Camden presiding with
great deal OF dignity; he makes an excel
lent Judge. The Grand Jury found a true
bill against John Dilworth, and the chan
ces look gloomy at this time for his ac-
quittal.
now-Nothingism is said to be on the
increase here, and Judging from the visa
ges of the Old Fogies, tits an alarming
truth. The 'old boss appears to be calm,
wraps his mantle about him and dies as
decent as possible. But Cooper is per-
fectly obstreperous, and like an adder,
strikes and dashes at all that comes across
his path, after its poisonous fangs have
been drawn. If you have any Old Fogies
or ofice-seekers in your place they will be
down on you. But perseyere in your in
dependent course, for you know that 'eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty and
the time has fully come when an indepen-
dent press should expose the corruptions
of the two old parties, and the ofice-seek-
ers and demagogues latter in partic-
ulbr, for the masses, if left to themselves,
would do right.
There is growing interest manifested
here for the Gazette, and you would do
we'll to have an agent here. The Regis
ter is doomed. if it does no: cease its lau-
dauion of the Irish Catholics and abate its
virulence towards nativeborn citizens.
EsoP.
Know-Nothingism is not con the in
crease here" Our people have their eyes
open to the reasonable heresies of that
association, and it is compelled to do the
best it can with the material it obtained
in the excitement of its first organization.
The slur upon some of our citizens does
no harm, but manifests some bad taste
So far as we are concerned we care not a
straw. We cannot expect the sympathy
Of a KuoWNothing, or the truth from one
who would choke down the free discussion
of questions of public policy.
We will also state that we are credibly
informed that the writer of the above is
not a citizen of Clarksburg, but resides in
Prunytown, and in more than one partic
ular resembles the eldest son of Isaac, the
patriarch.

TROOPS AT FoRT Observation-Disclosures
of an authentic character has been receiv-
ed at Jefferson Barracks, from Fort Lara
mic, announcing the treacherous slaugh-
ter of detachment Of U. S. troops by the
Sioux Indians,
Our information is, that about the mid
die Of August. Sioux Indian killed an OK
belonging to an emigrant, near Fort Lar
annie. The chief thereon sent messen-
ger to 1t. Fleming, the officer in command
Of the Fort, requesting him to send force
to him and he would deliver up the often
der. 1t. Grattan, of Co. G., 9th U. S.
Infantry. with Serg. Favor, one corporal
and twenty privates, were detailed on this
service. They were accompanied by an
interpreter. How, or at what place it is
not stated, but the whole Of 1t. Graham's
party were killed without exception
They must have been the victims of de-
liberately contrived plot on the part of the
Indians, to waylay and murder them. In
no other way could such number of men
have all been killed, without at least an
equal number Of the foe falling in the en-
counter. The massacre was committed
on the 18th ult.
1t is stated, that When the express left,
Fort Laramie was surrounded by them.

FOR GOVERNOR,
HENRY A. WISE,
OF AGCOMAC.
Subject to the Decision Of the Democratic
State Convention.
The state Convention.

The State Convention.
The Richmond Enquirer has come out
in very well-written article. which we
copy in another column, in favor of the
3OM Of November as the time, and .Staun-
ton as the place, for holding the Demo-
cratic State Convention. The position Of
the Enquirer on this subject is the correct
one, and owing to its leading position, will
carry much weight with it, but we hope
and believe its proposition will be concurr-
ed in by the party generally, not SO much
on account of the source from whence it
emanates rs the benefits to be derived
from such an acquiescencc. While many
Of the eastern papers have bitterly opposed
holding the Convention this fall, the En-
quirer held a neutral course until its pres
ent article. and it eYinces such spirit OF
concusai"n, cancellation and compromise,
that we have no disposition to hesitate a
moment, but cordially give in our adhesion
to the proposition, especially as it is too
late to secure full representation On the
time fixed by the meeting held in this
place during the sitting of the Federal
Court. This acquiescencc, we are salts
fed, will meet the appreciation Of the par
ty in this and most of the adjoining coun-
ties.
All that this paper, or as far as we know
any others published in this section of the
State, has commended for, is that tho Con-
vention be held before the bad weather
set in, that we might be enabled to attend
it. In doing this. our motives, as we'll as
those who have advocated an early Con.
vention generally, have been impugned
by some of our pharisaical brother editors
in the cast, and discussion. daily grow
ing more enbittered and vindictiYe, was
arising on the subject, which if continued
much longer, would endangcr the success
of any gentleman who might receive the
nomination for Governor, if indeed, any
Convention could have been got together.
The Enquirer has nobly stepped in as a
Pacifcator, and we hope, ended the dis
cussion by naming time that will be def
nitely fixed upon for holding the Conven-
ton.
So far as we are acquainted with the
mountain roads. if the winter does not sci
in unusually early and severe, the west
can get to Stanton at the time named,
and that being all that has been contend.
ed for, we think that we run no risk in
venturing the assertion that the Sob o,
November, at Stanton, will be concurred
in by the people Of this section. and VIC
hope the whole State. and that the Con
vention will then be held.
We therefore earnestly solicit the Dem
ocrats in those counties that have not ye
held meetings and appointed delegates, te
do so Immediately. and acquicsce in the
proposition of the Enquirer.
