We have always doubted the policy Of At
tempting 70 legislate tnen into morality. IL
is 4 principle in political philosophy that that
government best which governs least In

men. yield up portion of their liberty this

gfeate5s sacrifices are demanded, when new
chiiIs are sought to bind down their villa.
they grow restless and rebellious. Hence the
necessity Of the greatest care and caution in
attcfnpting, by Legislative enactments, to make
new encroachnehts upon the natural liberty
of individual citizens. These remarks are
especially true of q Democratic form Of gov
ernment, where the people. by their represen-
tatives, are their t~n law makers IN this
case when the representatives are faithiess,
and undertake to trample on the wishes of
those who gave them their power, their acts
become ncilitics, and legislation becomes
farce vlm l,.A
This is clearly illustrated by the universal
disapprobation by which the liquor law of the
last Legislature is received The question Of
| a prohibitory liquor law had been left to a vote
of the people and had been condemned. Was
| this right to make Ehossn their views through
! the ballot box, thrown out as sugar plum to
quiet the voters? Or did it bctoken sincere
desire to let the popular voice have It's wonted
power? If the act authorizing the vote of
the people meant nothing. then those who
passed it were little less than idiots; if it meant
anything il was, that as the people willed. so
would the Legislature act. But our Legisla-
tors did not do so,-they sneered at the ex-
pressed wish of the people, and passed law
that was uncalled for and ridiculous The
consequence is, that it is condemned all over
the State there are none who respect it, none
will trouble themselves to enforce It, and this
will be added to the black list of dead letter
acts which cucumber and disgrace the archives
of the State,
This new law is condemned as much BY
stringent temperance men as BY any others,
and whence it derived support enougil to pass
it. we are at loss to know No, we take
that back, IL is but one of series of acts that
characterized the most reckless, thoughtless
and corrupt Legislature. perhaps, that has dis
graced this good old Commonwealth for years.
1t needed no great effort to have II passed; il
was a novel idea; and was quickly caught up
by those who were continually running after
strange Gods.
Besides being In gross violation of the ex-
pressed win Of the people, it is Objectionable
in many Of its features These we will endea-
vor to show up from time to time, trusting
that past experience may teach voters never
again 80 trust theirfwishcs and their interests
to irresponsible hot headed bungleIs-inel
who will condemn their instructions, and make
stupid and clumsy laws. that cannot stand.

The PLACE TO Go To.-Horacc Greeley closes
recent European letter as follows -. bid
adieu TO Switzerland with deepened apprecia
ton Of the grandeur of her scenery, the excelence
of her institutions, the general nobleness of her
people. Among the latter mean souled and
knavish individuals, dohbtless-as where are they
not land wherever such exist; the traveller will
serely experience their undesirable contacts but
the Swiss heart beats true to-day in the heroic
age of Staufacker, Tell and Arnold de Winkelried,
and the American who has a year at command
for foreign travel should set apart at least its Au
gust and September for this mountain home and
refuge of European liberty. Travelling with the
least possible baggage, often on mule or on foot,
he may see more, enjoy more, gain more health
and strength, and be swindled less, among the
Alpine heights, than in any other portion of the
Old World. y
