The Philadelphia National Argus in
reference TO the notice given by Mr..
Richardson, in the House Of Representa-
;lves--.hat he should early next week
move to take up the Nebraska Kansas
bill, and press it to a vote, after reasona.
bic time for further discussion--well re.
marks
This announcement is both proper
and judicious, us it gives full opportunity
for members to be prepared to vote when
the measure is brough, before the House
for final action.
There il no utility in further delaying
the bill for granting territorial govern.
ments 10 this portion Of the public domain
All the arguments against the bill pre-
pared by Judge Douglas have been ex-
hausted, and the whole opposition is now
dishonest, fictitious one, headed by the
abolitionists, and such OF the wings and
freesoilers as are willing to be their
dupes and followers in the mad attempt
to overthrow the principle on which our
form OF government rests. This is the
shape in which the opposition to the
Nebraska bill now presents itselfin Con-
gress and, therefore, Mr.. Richardson's
notice, that further delay will not be
grarted for Matching treason against the
government, will meet with the hearty
response Of the democracy in all parts Of
the Union. "A II that now remains to be
done is to close the ranks OF the rspub-
lican party and nobly vindicate the devo-
ton 0. the democracy to the principles Of
seii.government BY passing the Nebras-
ka bill whenever il is reached"

The Lluuer Law.

The legislature Of Ohio has si'assed a
prohibi,ory liquor law. 1t passed the
House on the 26th ult. 1t prohibits the
sale of all intox ica,ing liquors except ma
tive wine, ale, beer and cider. The
originators OF tho bill had an eye to bust
ness as well to the morals and health OF
the community. tits designed to protect
and encourage the production OF native
wine, ale beer and cider. The wine
growing interest has become a matter OF
considerable importance in Ohio already.
Thousands aud even hundreds Of thou
sands OF gallons Of the pure juice OF the
grape are produced annually in Ohio and
Indiana, and the prohibition Of the use Of
ardent spirits, will doubtless stimulate
great increase Of its production. A wine
drinking people are seldom drunken !,
and the pure juice OF the grape, when
used in moderate quantities, is not deem.
ed injurious to health. 1t is the adulter.
a,ed liquors that do most injury to the
public health and morals.
The Ohio bill also makes il unlawful to.
sell liquor to minors, or to persons In
the habit Of getting intoxicated; and il
liquor is sold to any such, by which he
becomes intoxicated, the seller is made
liable for all damages suffered by The
inebriate, to be recovered by a civil suit.
A married woman too, may bring suit
fer damages agains, persons selling liq-
uor to her husband, whereby he is in,oxi-
Gated and injured.
The wine, beer, ale and cider that may
be used, must be entirely Of Chic growth,
and all adulteraiions are TO be visited
with severe penalties.
Such are the main features Of the Ohio
Proh'bitory law, which passed by = vote
OF fifsy-feur TO ,hirty-s,x, in houss
largely democratic.
