The Reaction.

| We have never for moment yielded 10
the impression, entertained by great num-
bers of people, that Maine lavish would
finally prevail in this country. We have
never for an instant believed that temper
ance or any other moral reform could be
accomplished by legal coercive measures
We have felt the most confident assurance
that any purely sumptuary law, whether
relating TO the drinks, the food, or the
clothing Of the people, however speciously
it might be sustained for a while, would at
no distant day be popularity repudiatedths
dangerous innovation. If the legislative
authority may prescribe what shall be the
beverages of the people, it may prescribe
rnlns IN gnuarn fhn whnls nennnrny nf iIAir
households There is NO limit. 1t is IA
preposterous supposition that american
citizens will submit to despotism so degra-
ding as this. We have, therefore, indulg
cd in no doubts as to what would be the
event of the Maine law Juror 10 me1a
The reaction has obviously commenced.
The vote Of the people of Illinois at the
election just held to determine whether the
Iprohibitory liquor act Of the late legisla-
ture Of the State shall take effect, is sig
ni6cant Of an approaching revolution 10
public opinion every where. The, sober
second thought of the people is generally
right-almost always right. But the sec
ond thought is sometimes long in coming.
When it does come il is efficient. 1t cor
rects the errors into which it has been led.
1t has no pride of opinion. If it'has been
deceived it Furnishes the deceiver, If it has
committed wrongs it hastens to repair
them 1t is just and generous, but rery
imPulSirc. 1t is likely to leap from one ex-
trcme to another. iag 5i.mat
And here is the danger most to be ap-
pretended from tine ensuing reaction on
the temperance question. Until the con
stitution Of this State forbade the regula-
tion Of the liquor traffic, the people Of eve
ry city, village and town could determine
for themselves the extent Of tho traffic in
their own localities That was judicious
and safe Investment Of power. The consti-
tutional provision destroyed this power,
and imposed the alternative Of fltstat ProAS-
billion or EnrestraiHed traffic No middle
ground was left that could be occupied.
Therefore it is that when the people shall
behold the impotency Of Maine lavish, all
the dangers Of unlimited and unrestrained
traffic will be upon u.s.. The reaction WIN
not be Immediately wholesome. There
will be no bars that conservatism can put
up-no foodgates that it eau close. One

Trouble With England. of our late
dispatches contradict the rumors which
created something of a panic an ongst the
gossipers of England and this country q
few days since.
The State department has received by the
Pacific dispatch from Mr.. Buchanan,
unequivocally denying that he had made
tender of the sympathy Of the United
States in favor of the Allies. The Ad
m inistration is under no apprehensions OF
a rapture with England. On the 10th.
the Cabinet were in session egain at
Washington and the dispatches by the
Pacific, from our Minister, Mr.. Buchanan,
were received at the State department
and considered in Cabinet council. The
tenor of these dispatches is assuring our
government that there was no siguifi-
cancy in their sending the fleet to the
West Indies, and that there was not the
slightest cause for the panic created by
the English journals. Commodore Paul.
dipg's expected mission to San Juan has
thus been frustrated. and only one vessel
of the Home Squadron will proceed to
Nicaragua.
The intelligence received at the Capital.
that General Almonte, the Mexican Min
lister. had been superseded, caused con-
siderable excitement.
