EH0ld Liners have suffered 30
much from the preaching Of those
who preach against sabbath.breakipg.
drunkenness and slavery, that they
wish to prohibit such preaching in fn-
ture. We have already given an ac-
count Of their effort in this matter in
the Indiana Legislature. A proof that
Old Line.ism is national, that is, every.
where tho same, We quote the follow
ing from the proceedings of the Iowa
Legislature, which received the sup.
port of nearly every Old Liner in the
House:
Be a enacted. DC. that at shall be
regarded as q violation OF the Sabbath
for clergymen of any denomination to

Legislative Items.

The most important movement Of
Monday. aeth February. in the senate
was rotest signed by 81 senators
who voted against the State Bank Bill.
We have not room for IL entire
We give the following recsptiulation.
which gives the points Of objection
Mr.. Mcleery's name Is among those
who protest We would remark how
ever that subquently, in the Indiana
Journal. several Of the assumed facts
and some Of the conclusions are denied.
Not having seen the bill we can not de-
eide who is right.
Having thus presented some Of the
odious features Of the bill in detail,
we beg to review the facts.
Est. We have shown this bill 10 not

Id. That the new Bank can take
advantage Of any law upon interest.

realizing to itself an unusual
amount Of income in comparison
with the amount Of capital employ
ed. and thus. too. depressing those
who seek relief at the hands Of the
Bank.
Sd. We have shown that the provi
sions Of the bill allow the Bank to dis.
count on deposits. Avery dangerous
power to confer upon monied corpora
lions.
4th. We have shown that the 18th
section Of the bill makes the passage OF
tho bill n contract between the State
and the Bank. and which cannot be
altered or amended by the representa-
tives Of the people: and that said sec.
ton exempts from taxation. for town.

9th. We have shown that no SEQ.
ton Of tho bill prohibits the issuing oil

That the issuing Of such small notes
would have the tendency TO drive gold

Lake SuDerior,

Tho relation which we of Northern Illinois
sustain to Lake Superior region is not yet be-
gun to be appreciatcd-nor indeed, is the re-
lation we of the Fox River Valley, especially
bear to the great and growing city of Chicago
valued as it ought to be. Facts, however, are
daily showing the value of our positions, and
of our rich lands water-power &C., &c. Itwas
only last season that the Chicago papers, the
Democratic Press in particular, began to call
the attention of the business men of that city,
to the benefits to be obtained by securing
line of boats to Lake Superior and by means
offacilities of transit, to eventually secure the
trade of that region so rich in the various min
erals which are now bedoming yearly of such
increased demand. In such region where
minerals are the chief products, agriculture is
scarcely ever successfully prosecuted, land hence
while the industry ofthe population is direct
cd into other channels it produces market
for articles of food or clothing which are raised
and manufactured elsewhere. The extreme
richness Of the mines of the Lake Superior re-
gion has, during the interim time mentioned
been developed to a much greater extent than
had before been considered possible, and such
being the demand for these products by the ra-
pid improvements of the entire length and
breadth Of the land the population Of the min
ing regions has been wonderfully augmented.
The hints of the papers haye been closely fol-
lowed, and before the close of 1853 regular
tri-weekly line of large steamers were in sue
cessful operation, The present season, has.
we understand, nearly doubled the amount of
tonnage, making regular trips between the CT
ty of Chicago and the Saut Ste Marie, and the
people of Nothern Illinois are in consequence,
benefited by steady market for large amt
of produce ; and here in America we feel the
benefits of the enterprise of those who first op-
ened the trade. Thousands of bushels of oats
which but a few weeks ago were growing in
the fields around US have been sold and ship
ped there. while our mills are grinding corn
meal and -four which is Immediately shipped
through Chicago House for that region. Mr..
Clifford informs us that the Genesce Mills have
been for some time engaged in grinding corn
for that trade, and he assures us that two or
or three mills might be erected and find a suf-
fcient market for all they could grind. instead
of sending it to an uncertain market like New
York.-.aur0ra Guardian.

The Workings Of the Anti-Liquor Law In Conn.,
Letter from Gov Dutton.

The Workings of the Anti-Liquor Law in Conn.
Letter from Gov. Dutton.
New HAVEN, Oct 80, 1854.
r. G. DELEvAN, EsQ.-DEAR SIR Il take the
earliest opportunity Of replying to your inquir-
les regarding the practical operation of the
Prohibitory Liquor Law of Connecticut
hazard nothing by asserting, that no candid
enemy of the law will deny, that it has proued
more efficient than ats most sanguine friends
anticipated 1t has completely swept the per-
nicious traffic, as a business, from the State.
An open groggery cannot be found have not
seen person here in a state of intoXicatiOn
since the first of August. In our cities and
manufacturing villages, streets that were for
merly constantly disturbed by drunken brawls,
are now as quiet as any other. The change is
so palpable, that many who have been strongly
opposed to such a law, have been forced to ac-
knowledge the efficiency of this.
At the late State Agricultural Fair, it was
estimated that one day from 10000 to 10000
persons, ofevery description in life, were assem-
bled, and not a solitary drunkard was seen.
The effect was so manifest that the law has
been regarded with more favor since than it
was before.
The statistics of our courts and prisons
prove that criminal prosecutions are rapidly
diminishing in number-some jaHs are almost
fendntless.
The law has been thoroughly executed with
much less difficulty and opposition than was
anticipated. In no instance has a seizure pro-
duced any general excitement Resistance to
the law would be unpopular and it has been
found in vain to attempt to set it at defiance.
The longer the beneficial results of the law are
seen and felt, the more firmly it becomes estab-
lished. ..s.a
The ridiculous idea so industriously circu-
lated, that the sanctity of domestic life would
be invaded, has been shown to be a mere buo
bear. The home of the peaceable citizen was
never before SO secure. The officers of the law
have no occasion to break into his DWELLING
and he Is now free from the intrusion of the
lawless victims sofintemperance. of
Connecticut, by her own law, and by the
adjoining States of Massachusetts, and Rhode
Island, is now effectually guarded against the
invasion Of one of the worst enemies of the hu-
man race, on all sides except the west. The
principal obstacle in the way OF complete sue
cess, consists in the Importation ofliquor from
the city of New York into this State, in casks
and demijohns, professedly for private use.
May we not indulge the hope, that this evil
will soon be remedied, and that as the Empire
State is the first in population, wealth and in
Huence, she will stand foremost in this great ef-
fort, to repress immortality and crime, and to
promote the happiness of the human race ?
Certain am, that if her citizens try the expert
ment of stringent prohibitory law, all the
gold in California will not tempt them to aban-
don it.

Our Legislative reports show that Governor
German was ready to deliver himself of hi
message yesterday afternoon at two o'clock
but, this time, the Legislature was not ready tt
hear him. Both branches adjourned to thi'
morning at the usual hour and we see ahead
nothing now but prolonged pickering
during the session between the Legislative and
Executive branches of our Territorial Govern
ment.
IfMr. Warren, our District Attorney, is real
ly removed. as he announces in card which
we copy from the Democrat.we have reasons
and the best of reasons-for believing, that this
move is but the commencement of general
system of removal and that German, Secreta-

From the Democrat, last evening.
~, Al,~ Dr,hvsn

I have recently received dispatches from
Washington, announcing my removal from the
Office of L. S. District Attorney for the Terri
tory of Minnesota. Conscious Of the rectitude
of my conduct, l make no complaint against
the severity of this judgment. Having refused
one office and resigned another for the sake OF
Minnesota, can cheerfully endure the reno
val from a Mird-that never asked for and
did not desire.
l have never wished for office as for my
character, l confidently leave its vindication to
the lapse Of time. l have fulfilled my duty
according to the best of my judgment and have
sought to promote the best interests of the Ter
ritOry. | wish no reward beyond the con-
sciousness of having acted according the die
tates of a conscience, which is free. return
to the security and independence of privite
life, with that zest, which swells the bosom of
the slave, when he has regained his liberty,
and breathes without anxiety, the pure air of
God once more.
Respectfully, your fellow citizen,
.. ..-. JOHN EsAIAs WARREN.
Jan. IL, 1854.
The reason assigned for the removal of Mr.
Warren, is that he did not obey instructions,
when in fact he never received any instructions
whatever from the department
BY the death of Mr.. Dustin. all the papers
and books connected with the Office of U. S.
District Attorney, were left in the utmost con-
fusion, but Notwithstanding this and the want
of definite instructions from the Department,
Mr.. Warren did comply with the general in
structions to all officers of the government, to
report proceedings, but from some irregularity
of the mails, his letter did not reach Washing
ton in time.
The Government will find, upon fair inves-
tigation of the official conduct of Mr.. Warren,
that be has performed the duties of his Office
faithfully and honestly, and we have no doubt
but that he will be reinstatcd. We shall refer
to this subject again.
We also announce the removal of COVER
NOR GORMAN from the office of SUPERINTEN-
DENT OF INDIAN AFFAIRS, to take effect on the
31st of March next, and We may expect to hear
soon of other removals.
