and Immediately returned. Cur informant was

The LQUon Law or Coxxrcrr cUT--IN-
CREASE OF DRUNRENNEss.-Th New Haven
Palladium, Of the 9th, bas the following notice
Of he effect o.! the liquor law IN that State. The
Palladium says:
''ProbabIy there is more Intoxicating liquor
Feiailed in Hartford at this time than ever be-
fore, and evidently there is more drunkenness.
A stringent law will not make men moral and
temperate. The liquor generally used at this
time is said TO be very d4leterious article, and
is doing much harm. A laborer remarked the
present week TO one of our merchants. that he
knew ef twentv-three places on one short street
where liquors were sold. The town rum a
gency is also 10 full blast. dealing out large
quantities. Club rooms have multiplied 10 a
fearful extent, and hundreds of families in which
liquor was unknown before August last, now
keep variety, and ask their friends 10 drink.
This one feature alone is doing ihcaIculable
mischief. The fashion Of keeping liquors upon
the family sideboard is fast coming into use, and
IFS evils are as great as those of the rum shop
The liquor law is the parent of that evil.''
The MAINE Law IN MIcmGAN.-We do not
know what could be more couardly than the
manner which the friends OF the liquor law
enforcing it in this city. It is perfectly noto-
rious that the retail liquor traffic is openly and
DpiGlf IntEltu Oh from one emu Oh Tie Gllf ~
the other, and that the wholesale traffic is un-
restrained. i is perfectly notorious that whis-
key is daily unloaded upon our docks, and that
there are immense stocks Of liquors in store for
sale. Yet the efforts TO enforce the law are
confined to half dozen arrests per week OF
small retailers-some of the smallest in the
city. There seems 10 be an intention TO annoy
individuals, rather than desire TO stop The sale
,ofS for he oou-cee n tho traffic ara rnF
touched-the wholesale dealers are unmolested.
No attempt has been made TO put in force the
search, seizure and nuisance clauses oi the act.
Why is this. The Law exists-whv do not lis
friends carry il into full effect? They dare not.
They know in their hearts, that in It's main fea-
tures it is invalid-that it is an oppressive, out
rageous and unconstitutional enactment. They
dare not carry 1t into effect Detroit Free

ANOTHER RECRUIT. Mr.. Brown, editor of
the Marion, Indiana, Republican, formerly a
whig paper, Announces that hereafter he will be
found battling with the great democratic party
of the country. The Rock Island Democrat
says
',Fhe editor of the Republican is not the only
whig editor in the north who has lately had 10
join the democracy, owing 10 the fact that the
leaders ofthat once powerful party have merged
it into the abolition know-no;hing prosoriptiye
party. Thousands Of patriotic and national
wings among the masses are also Joining The
democracy, rather than lend their aid 10 the
disorganlzlng and tlaoFous schemes Of the abo-
Iition deFnagogues aud fanatics OF the north
We again assert that the next presidential race
will BE- between the abolitionsts, know nothngs
and dieunionistS on the one side, and the nation
al democracy, aided by all national wings on the
other and in such a contest, who can doubt
the triumphant success of the democracy, The
party that has ever upheld the constitutional
rights OF all sections OF the country, guaran-
terd TO them under the constitution 70
