The Prohibitory Liquor Law goes into eff
feet in New York, on the 4th of July. II
will be memorable day in that city. There
are conflicting opinions, both as to the con.
stitutionality and the practicabilify of the
law. The opponents of the law have held
meetings and made every preparation to
form a powerful! State organization. Dele
ties, elected for that purpose, from various
societies throughout the State, assembled at
Albany on the 10Th inst. 1t is said that in
New York, Albany. Troy, Buffalo, and the
other important cities, the antiliquor law
men will constitute majority of the voters,
and as there WILL be three parties in the field
this fall, that the balance of power will rest
with them.
The Mayor of New York has declared his
determination to execute the existing law, SO
far As his legal advisers counsel him. The
New York Herald, however, expresses the
opinion that it will be impossible to execute
the law in large city like New York. 1t
says that while in village there is but one
grog-sh0p, or perhaps two, and half dozen
topers at most, whom every man knows and
whom it is easy to watch, in city like New
York, it would be easier for the moderate
drinkers to keep watch over the teetotallers
than the latter over them. 1t adds, that al
though the Liquor Law is SO soon to 20 into
effect, there is not householder in N. York
who entertains the smallest fear of not be-
ing able to recruit his cellar as formerly.

in favor Of every work that in his judgment would
pay to the people and the State more than it cost;
that he was in way responsible for any losses the
State had suffered but, on the contrary, it had been
his good fortune, while President of the Raleigh and
CASTOR Railroad, to pay into the State Treasury
thirtyone thousand dollars in profits to the State;
and that the course of his competitor in this matter
was the more surprising, as he would get probably
twentieths of his votes for Congress from
the very party at whose solicitation mainly the State
was induced to loan it's credit to the Raleigh and
CASTOR Road. .- ... .''
These are the facts Mr.. Shepard, in the first
place, lugs the question of internal improvements
into the canvass he complains of high taxes, and
comes out step by step against the system of inter-
nal improvements, until, having reached locality
where the system is quite unpopular, he declares to
the people that he had always been opposed to in
ternal improvements-tha he opposed all the
schemes before the last Legislature; and that he,
alone, of all the Democrats about Raleigh is entit
led to the credit of having adhered to Democratic
doctrine on the subject. And yet the Register de-
clares that directly the of this is the fact"
and an effort is made to hold Mr.. Branch respon-
sible for introducing the subject into the canvass!
We submit these facts to the judgment and ac-
tion of the people Mr.. Shepard hopes, by appeal
ing to prejudices, by finding fault with the revenue
law, and by opposing internal improvements, to
gain strength and obtain votes he has introduced
the question into the canvass and now let him abide
the consequences Why, even as far back as 1S4s,
Mr.. Shepard complained, in Democrat State Con-
vention that the Legislature had not taken steps,
by increase of taxes to pay the State debts; and
now, that adequate revenue law has been passed,
he complains of that and denounces the Legislature
which passed it. The two last Legislatures, it must
be confessed, rendered themselves peculiarly OBJ.
noxous to Mr.. Shepard-neither Of them soouM
elect him United States Senator! During the ses-
sion of 1852 he mainly instrumental-theD Dem
ocrats having but small majority-in defeating
the Democratic nominee for that post and at the
last session. he wasagain in the field, ready to serve
his country; but he was not called for, the Know
Nothngs giving him the cold shoulder Verify,
he has suffered at the hands of Democratic Legsla-
lures and, according to all the rules of retalia-
ton and vengeance, which exist for the guidance Of
desperate politicians, he is in condition to de-
nounce them.

The Know Nothing leaders pretend that any MEN,
Der of the Order who is dissatisfied, may withdraw
from it; and that no difficulty will be thrown in the
way of Withdrawals. Many persons, it is believed,
in various portions of the State now desrous of
Withdrawing but is also believed that obstructions
are nterposed, and they thereby prevented from
doing so. The leaders, when they hear of a dissat-
isied member, shift the meetings of the Councils, or
hold no Councils at all for tme that the dissat-
isfed member may be worked upon and influenced
to remain Again, we should not be surprised if, as
the election approaches they cease to hold regular
meetings, so as to avoid applications for withdraw
ais. In this way they hope to hold on to members
who are not informed to their rights, and compel
them under their oaths to vote for their candidates.
The intent, be it remembered is every thing in such
a case. If any Council deliberately refuses, and
without just cause, to allow member to-withdraw,
or refuses to give member an opportunity to make
his application for withdrawal that Council violates
its pledge to such member and he is released and at
liberty to vote as he pleases. GA bargain broken
on one side is a bargain broken on both Sides"

WHAT A PoLTICIAN.-Such remarks are fire.
quently made as these "Icannot bear politicians"
l do not believe that there can be an honest poll
tician." politicians are q curse to the country"
Almost every one will have heard remarks of the
kind. 1t is well they should be considered Are
they true? Before We can determine the answer to
this question, must first determine what "poli-
tcian" is The term must be defined. Ask the
who declares that he does not believe that there.
can be an honest politician, to explain himself and
he will find himself at loss. -... e.
Does he mean that all men who concern themselves
about the election of those who are either to make
laws or enforce them are politicians, aud therefore
dishonest? Hso, then is our country on the verge
of ruin, when in government of law only rascals
interest themselves in the selection of public agents.
who are to make our laws see that they are exc
cuted? This cannot therefore be his meaning. What
then does he intend by politicians? He may reply
that those are politicians who seek for office for
selfish ends and who will resort to dishonest means
and corrupting influences to attain those ends. In
this view the conclusion would be the sheer trusm
that dishonest men are not honest This would be
equally applicable to the public and to private life.
Fol- unprncipled will act out their true charac
tiers no matter where they may be placed. But to
conclude that, in government which makes us
what we are people, all who participate to any
considerable extent in the agencies necessary for
tanning and carrying on that government, inevitably
become lost to virtue and correct principle must be
contrary to reason and to truth.
I. Exchange Paper.
The writer-we do not know who he is-has Ia
ken a correct view of the matter There are cor
rupt and there are honest politicians In this free
country every man is more or less politician for
every man, general rule votes, and thus takes
part in the government That politician who, for
selfish party ends, deliberately doceives and mis-
leads the people, is bad man, and should not be
trusted even in private affairs. Yet much allowance
must be made prejudice, passion, education, and
in some cases, constitutional infirmity. Of course
politicians more or less selfish-but so men
generally of all pursuits in life. 1t is frequently
said more in earnest than in jest that lawyers edi
tors and politicians are "great liars" Some of them
! are, no doubt but then some traders
; merchants and the like. No man has moral right
: to denounce whole classes corrupt. Let him
rather discriminate justice to the upright in in
tent and mark the bad.
