rWe copy the following article from the
New Albany Ledger, and recommend it to the
attention of Democrats. Incendiarism is none
the less tolerable in a Prcfsssedly religious ed
itor than in one who makes no professions
"WEsTERS CHRISTIAN ApvocATE"-This
paper, as is well known. assumes to be the
organ Of the Methodist Episcopal church in
the West II is evident, however, that the
Advocate is more of a Know Nothing than q
a religious newspaper. Its habitual readers
need not be toll that il is the shame
less apologist of the rowdies, gamblers, and
scoundrels who destroyed the ballot boxes al
the city election in Cincinnati. Under these
circumstances does not every Democratic sub
scriber owe It to himself and to his family,
whose minds he does not wish 10 become con-
Eliminated with the denominations of Know
Nothingism, to at once discontinue it? I,
seems to Us this is the duty of every Demo-
crat now taking the Advocate, and we hope
the Democratic papers throughout the West
will call the attention Of their readers to the
subject, and urge this course upon Democratic
Methodists.

Good Hit.

The Boston altos continues to apply the
keen spur Of its ridicule to the corrupt sides
of the Massachusetts, Know Nothing Legisla-
ture. Here is beautiful dig at them:
ain the House, on Saturday, the Commit
tee on Medical Science reported that it is IN
necessary to provide that physicians prescrip-
tons shall be written in English. The report
was accepted, not even Brown, of Tolland,
coatradicente. Pills, infusions, decoctions,
powders and plasters can still be ordered in
the classical language Of Cicero, filling the in
valid stomach with reverence even for brown
bread boluses, to be washed down with sweet
ened water; while ITn Spir. Gail. with aqua
q. g., will lie in demand during the ensuing
season.

BLACK LAWS IN MASSACHUSETTS, That
remarkable body, the Massachusetts, Legisla-
ture, has been lesislating pretty nearly all the
present session for the benefit of the blacks.
They have adopted an address TO the Cover
nor, requesting the removal of Judge for
acting NJ United States Commissioner in fu-
gitive-slave case; law disqualifying all per
sons who assist in the execution of the fugi-
tve-slave act from holding Office under the
State constitution has passed the House, We
believe, and law placing negro children on
the same footing in the public schools as
white has also been enacted. Now, the blood
of the Winthrops, the Otses, the Lymans, the
Endicotts and the Eliots is in a fair way TO be
amalgamated with the Sarnbos, the Catoes
and the Pompeys The negroes have several
times forced their children into the public
schools and been sustained, in one or two in
stances, by the Supreme Court of the State,
but the present law settles the matter. The
woolliest head and the thickest lips had an
equal chance for education, previous 10 this
time, with the whitest skin and strongest Sax
on peculiarities; but now the niggers are really
| lust as good AS white folks. The North is TO be
! Africanized. Amalgamation has commenced

The psnnsvlvania Liquor Law.

The prohibitory law Of Pennsylvania pro-
vides that no unlicensed persons shall sell or
keep for sale intoxicating Liquors of any kind,
under penalty and fine not exceeding fifty
dollars for the first offence and Imprisonment
not exceeding one month, and for second
offence fine not exceeding one hundred dol
lars and Imprisonment not exceeding three

from selling liquor in cases containing less
quantity than one quart. Licenses are only
to be granted to citizens of temperate habits
and of good repute for honesty, and must not
in any case be granted to keepers of hotels,
restaurants, or other places Of refreshment and
entertainment All licensed dealers must
give bonds in the sum of one thousand dol
lars for the faithful performance of their du-
ties All importers, however, who shall vend

missioned auctioneers selling at public vendue,
and all manufacturers selling in quantities not
less than five gallons are to be excepted from
the above penalties, and druggists are to be
