DECLINE OF DRuNKGSEss IN ESoLANp -
The London Daily News comments Gpol the
decline Of drunkenness in the hlgner eiAsse+,
believing tito especially true, with regard
10 this vice, that in changes of society the
prevalent vices go out at the lower end: -
"IIalf II century ago, Mr.. Pitt was known
TO be killing himself with port wine, and
nobody spoke or thought OF the catas'ro.
phe in the way We should now it such a
thing was happened. Ministers and II, P.'s
said foolish and mischievious things in pub
lie, and were merely declared to be drunk
Gout aud other diSea,es consequent upon
excess were SO prevalent AS to make old
people now wonder what has become Of
them. The spirit decanters were brought
out in the evening, in the m1de.class hous-
es, and the wine merchants bill was an an
ual expense to the shop keeper which few
would think OF now. Halfa century OF i'm
proved cultivation Of mind. Of expanded
travel, of multiplied amusements, and, not
least. Of a partial ntroluctioa OF lighter
wines. has proligiously elevated the per-
sanal morality Of the higher aud middle
classes" s "

And if our legislators in Congress from Ohio
repudiate this bill--whatevera others may
say to the contrary--I tell them their con-
duct will not be approved by the Democracy
of Ohio. Should there be danger Of slavery
going to Nebraska or Kansas territory,
which is scarcely possible under existing
circumstances--the remedy is at hand
