The temperance Question,

The October number of the Westminster
ReOieD contains an article of singular ability
starting with the proposition that drunkenness
cannot DO cured By legislation. 1t is written
and published in view Of very persistent efforts
in England to obtain the enactment of a Maine
law by Parliament. 1t t~raverses the whole
field of discussion of the questions of prohibi-
ton and regulation of the liquor traffic. An
extract or two will serve to show the strength
of the article:
The world would be a very different world
if great evils were so easily cured, and if ten
lines In a statute. book could crush vice and
make virtue triumphant. Experience tells US
" different tale. 1t tells US that a law is in itself
powerless, and that it is only strong when it is
the outward and formal expression of what men
really wish. Even if a law such as the Maine
liquor law, were obeyed, which it might be for
a time among an orderly and law loving people,
there would be no escaping, in one shape
or other, the penalty of so gross an infringe
ment of the true principles of State government.
1t would be an EVIL worse than that Of drunken
ness if a nation learnt to lean on the rotten
zeal of external enactments, and thus Slapped
the very foundations of right and destroyed the
springs Of all moral action"
Again, in regard to personal rights-the
denial to men of their freedom of choice who
live under the rule of laws which recognise the
great fact of personal liberty-the writer re-
marks:
"To deny the use Of Intoxicating liquors al
together, to withhold by law the means of in
dulging because indulgence is often carried to
a vicious excess, is, in fact, an attempt, in a
very signal instance and on a very wide scale,
to increase the sphere of State government and
to deaden the sense Of individual responsibility.
1t would be impossible to furnish a more con-
~spicuous example Of that mode of viewing man
and morals which makes wrong and right the
subject Of State policy and not of individual
conviction.
"A subtitle poison taints the moral atmo-
sphere in which such a aw is upheld. The
mind of man becomes narrow and crippled
when he is no longer his own master; his &C.
tons are meaningless when stripped of the
beauty Of choice; his sympathy for others grows
dead when he has no longer to assist them in
encountering moral trials and to gain and give
the strength Of mutual counsel. Prohibition
advocates are fond Of prophesying that as men
cease to drink they will go to church.
"What will they find when they get thereP
Is the faith Of the churches of christendom so
warm, their words so full of meaning, their
appeal to the conscience so direct that they
can afford TO be guided by a law which, as far
as one law can, deadens responsibility and
obliterates the distinction between good and
evil? The text will be the keenest satire on
the sermon. The text will say, Use your free
dom as those who stand or fall to their Master
the preacher will say, My Christian brethren,
abstain altogether, for there is a penalty Of FIVE
dollars for the first offence and ten for the
second"

Resolutions Returned.

Governor Adams, of South Carolina, in his
message to the Legislature, says he has re
turned the resolutions, sent thin by Massachu.
sets, to the proper officers of that State. In
explanation he says:
"Had Massachusetts confined herself to re,
solutions expressive of her feelings and pur-
poses in relation to slavery, impertinent as l
may have regarded them, | would have re-
ceived them with Indifference, and transmitted
them without comment; but | consider the acts
Of her late Legislature as an insult and an out
rage upon every member Of the Concederacy,
who has a right to demand the enforcement of
the fugitive slave act. A State whose Legisla-
ture deliberately, unblushingly, impiously vio-
lates her constitutional obligations, and whose
people resist the execution Of law, even to the
shedding of blood, is not entitled to comfy
from us and | feel that / would have betrayed
the dignity of my trust had | hesitated to afix
on such conduct the seal Of official condemna-
ton. The interchange Of c~ivilit;es with a
people who feel it to be no dishonor to prevent
the recovery of stolen property, will hardly re-
claim the f~aithless, and is incompatible from
the respect which honesty owes itself"

1t consists Of a brass key, similar to a note Of

measure TO those Immediately around him,
transmits the principal changes of time to the
further extremities of the orchestra. SO that,
as it is ingeniously remarked, "a single person
might conduct four orchestras at the four ex-
tremities Of the globe, with the certainty that
they would execute as perfectly and irreproach-
ably the same performance, as if they were
under the immediate baton of their leader"

JoYCE's TAsTELEss SOLUTION

TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
NENTLEMEN.-The valuable medicinal
W properties OF Balsam Copaiba have long
been recognized by the faculty, but the great dis
advantage arising from its nauseous taste has
hitherto prevented its administration in many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual modus operaadP of prescribing il, either
in the form OF an Emulsion or Gelatinous Cap
sules, has not been found satisfactory, being liable
10 some objection, either from the difficulty expe-
ricnced by some individuals in the deglutIlion of
the Capsule or the small quantity OF Copaiba gen.
orally found in the Emulsion.
Joyce's tasteless solution Of Copalba is the
most unique preparation yet introduced 10 the
medical profession, as IL contains oO per cent. OF
the purest Para Copaiba, without taste or smell,
and at same time mixes clearly and freely with
water, and is pronounced by the most eminent
physicians and analytical chemists in the old and
new worlds TO contain all the medicinal proper
ties of Balsam Copaiba without its disagreable
characteristics.
II is an efficient preparation for all diseases Of
the mucous membranes, and particularly Como
rheGa, Leucorrh9a, elect, painful hemorrhoidal
affections, and in chronic irritation of the bladder.
