Will the Adoption Of the Maine Law
iniure tia Farmer?

According to the census of 1850, one
seventh Of the corn crop Of this state is
used. by the distilleries. This is nearly
six per cent Were this to be entirely
lost, and corn worth 60 cents per bushel,
which is nearly if not quite double the
average price, it would be at the rate Of
three cents per bushel on the crop. At a
meeting, composed Of Farmers, in answer
to question, it was stated that ten
bushels Of corn would make one hundred
pounds Of pork. But to prevent all cavil-
ling, We will allow fifteen bushels to one
hundred pounds. 1t is an undisputed fact
that the mixture of still.fed pork mixed
With corn-fed, reduces the price one cent
per pound. Now the loss Of fifteen bushels
1t three cents psr bushel would be forty
Eve cents. The gain on one hundred
weight Of pork would be one dollar, leav.
ing clear gain in favor Of the Maine Law,
On every f;sser bushels of cosn, Of ETY.

In this calculatien we have taken every
thing in the most favorable light for the
distilleries, and yet show clear and deci-

This calculation is simple every one
can make it for himself; but it is con-
elusive, showing that there is no foundation
for the cry that the Maine Law will injure

CORRECTION.

CORRECTION.
Mr.. EDITOR: In my remarks at the
Temperance meeting last evening, find
made "lapsus liugue" in cosparing the
amount of taxes for paupers paid BY Phil
adelphia as compared with the total reve-
due for liquor licenses received BY the
State -.-.....
Philadelphia pays $1,000 = day fol
pauper tax, beside the great amount given
by private benevolence, and by charitable
institutions for orphans, widows, blind,
dumb, &c. The State receives, according
to the "Chyrstal Fountain" annually, for
liquor licenses, the sum Of sl0S,000.
These two facts stated correctly, but the
proportion should have been that Philad-
elphia alone pays FOUR TINES as much
poor tax as the whole income from licenses
in the State! When We consider that the
trial and conviction of single murderer,
often costs many thousand dollars, and the
cos. of our criminal jurisprudence gener-
ally, the burden Of supporting few rum
sellers is seen to be intolcrable.
The Hon. Edward Everett lately made
an investigation, and has published the
following as the result, which while l have
pen in hand I will add.
lie estimates that WITHIN TEN YEARS,
strong drink has cost the United States
One Hundred aud Twenty Millions of
Dollars as the mere wholesale cost Of the
liquor.
1t has caused the burning up Of Five
Millions worth Of property.
Destroyed 100000 Lives.
Sent l50,O0 to Prison.
Sent 100000 children to the Poorhouse.
Made 1000 Lunatics.
Made 100000 Widows.
Caused LOO Murders.
Caused 200 Suicides.
Caused One Million Of Orphans.
Look at this, all considerate persons
No ten years war would have SO injured
the country! Shall we submit: to such
things any longer? HIM.

ing pcetical philosophy from the brain of the
humorous JoHN G. SAKE:
The Head is stately, calm, and wise,
And bears a princely part;
And down below, in secret lies
The warm, impulsive Heart
The lordly Head that sits above,
The Heart that beats below,
Their several Office plainly prove.
Their true relation show.
The Head erect. serene, and cool.
Endowed with Reasons art,

The throbbing, wayward Heart
And from the Head. as from the higher,

And in the Heads transforming fire
Al noble deeds are wrought.

Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, has a
population Of near 100 600, and in all the
elements Of capacity and independence is
superior to some of the States of the Tn
ion. Its steady increase of taxable prop
erty, is clearly shown by the following

Lancaster county contains 593 ,620 acres
of land, valued at s25, ,333, ,s6S-average
value, s42 50 per acre. This probably
includes the City and the villages, as well
as the woods and hill lands, and therefore
is not criterion of the average value per
acre of the lands under cultivation.
1t was prevailing fear among the far
mers of Lancaster, Dauphin, &c, prior to
the establishment Of the Public Works,
that they would damage the lands, and
horses and oats would lose half their value.
Lancaster is now well provided with Rail-
ways, &C., and lands, horses, and grain Of
most kinds are doubled in value!
1t is stated that by the last Census,
Pennsylvania has more Wcavers than all
the remainder Of the States together. In
this particular-domes,ic manufactures by
men of small means-,his State is much
benefited and to this source of wealth is
Lancaster as much indebted for her proud
pre-eminence, as for her mingled Scotch
Irish, Quaker and German population.

who declared themselves neutral.-With
Il decided and undoubted majority on their

our knowledge made any efforts to obtain
names for several weeks.
Under these circumstances, any large
increase to the list of either petitioners or
