TuRE--PRoposED BILL FOR THE CLOSING OF BAR
BERs' SHOPS ON SUBMISSIVE see, by the report
Of the proceedings Of our State Legislature
that one Of the members of the House an.
nounced his intention at some future day to in
troduce a bill for the closing OF BARRIERS shops
on the Sabbath. This movement has produced
quite sensation among some of the knights of
the razor, bat the majority appear to regard il
as an excellent joke. TIL, pious member has
doubtless some excellent reasons of his own to
support him in what he has undertaken, and we
should therefore like to see the bill and all its
provisions before venturing any remarks upon
the subject Meantime, while it is yet in en-
bryo, would it not be well for some other of
our legislators TO bestir themselves In the cause
Of religion and morality? There is much to be
done yet for the promotion OF Christian piety,
and the sooner our worthy representatives set
about the work the better. We think we can
aid them with few valuable suggestions 1t
should, for instance, be made illegal for citizen
to wash his face on Sunday or to pick
his teeth after dinner-in fact. in regard
to The morality Of eating breakfast, dinner
or supper, at all, we entertain very strong con-
scientious scruples, as the process of cooking
on the Sabbath is evidently violation of its
sacred character We might go still further
and re-enact the excellent old Blue Laws of
Connecticut, and make it misdemeanor for
man to kiss his wife on Sunday 1t is to be
feared that we need some such stringent laws
to reform the morals Of our people; aud we are
of the opinion that Mr. Munday's proposed bill
will not go far enough. No person should be
allowed to cough or sneeze on that day, and,
as TO laughing, such grave offence should be
promptly punished with heavy penalty. We
have no approximations however, that toe in
terests of religion will be neglected while they
are entrusted to the pious and deyout Chris
tans OF which our Legislature is composed.
Let sinners, and especially blrbers, who are
in the foremost rank, tremble, for the day of
retribution is at hand. The good time Is
coming when the vile, heathenish, and abom-
Dable practice Of shaving on the Sabbath
will meet with its just punishment. Lot
all true Christians rejoice, for the days Of the
Puritans viii soon be revived in all their glory
and purity. As for the BARRIERS and their i'm
pious work, we oLly wonder we could have
tolerated them so long, and we consider IL but
just that vote of thanks should be rendered
10 the jealous member who has placed himself
in the van Of the great erusade which has been
commenced agairst terugodly The good old

Resolved That the establishment OF religious freedom

declared that Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment OF religion, prohibiting the free

Pierce is said TO have got frightened and to

hand fusion throughout the North Of all the
Seward and administration free sellers, and
other anti slavery factions against the Know
Nothing party, on the other hand, formed of the
conservatives and Union men of all the old pO-
litical parties. In this Senatorial election, Loo
mis- was the coalition nominee of Pierce, Sew
ard Seymour and rum, while Goodwin, as the
Know Nothing candidate, was supported by
the independent conservative people, wholly
regardless of old party distinctions
These are the considerations which give the
commanding interest that we attach to this
election. Here we have the nucleus OF new
and we'll defined reorganization of parties in
the North. The coalition between the Seward
and the administration party may appear
to some very extraordinary and surprising
but it is perfectly natural under the cir
cumstances. The Know Notbings have uu-
dertsken the task Of crushing out" the rot
ten Pierce administration, root and branch,
and the no less desirable work of breaking up and
clearing out W. H. Seward his seditous section
Northern coalition. The policy Of the admi-
nistration and OF Seward IT, therefore, the same
"A common cause against the Know Nothings.
And the same principles and instincts which
united the Buffalo free sellers Of the Van Buren,
and Pierce party with the factions and fag-ends
Of Sewardism at the Saratoga Convention, very
naturally brought the same materials together
upon the administration free soil candidate for
Senator in the Twenty ninth district
This fusion was all the more natural from
the desperate necessity of the case Il. Is equally
imperative upon the administration aud upon
Seward TO check the onward movement of the
Know Nothngs now, at every point and in
every case in which there is possibility of
arresting their progress. The results OF the
November election in the Twenty-nnth district
threw ont the hope that by junction Of the
forces of Seward, Seymour and Pierce. they
might carry their man by at least thousand
majority. The temptation was irresistible, and
the so-calied Peoples Convention brought for
ward Mr.. Looms a. the Pierce and Seward Goa
