LIQUOR PROHIBITION.

The impartial friends of Liquor celebrated
the approaching advent of the Prohibitory Law
by meeting in the Park last evening, whereof
pretty full report is given elsewhere in our coll
umns. When we say the impartial friends OF
Liquor we mean those whose friendship is not
based ON any low considerations of personal
profit or renown which they derive or expect to
derive from the object of their devotiOns. They
are not dealers in liquor, whether by Wholesale
or retail; they are not lawyers who get rich by
giving curiously carved legal opinions in favor
of liquor; but they are the lovers of liquor for
its own sake-of liquor pure and simple, adul-
terated or unadulterated, cold or hot, with or
without sugar. And so, was very proper,
they assembled in the Park, and made speeches,
and passed resolutions, and expressed them
selves generally as they had perfect right
TO do.
The arguments against Prohibition presented
on this interesting occasion possess various
merits which we have no desire to deny or OBJ
scure; but one merit they do not possess, and
that is novelty. They all grind over again the
old grist with whose proftless result we are so
familiar. They ring the stereotyped changes
on liberty, the rights of property and the free
dom of trade, which have been rung so often.
They argue that Prohibition is unconstitutional
and impracticable and allege against il ali the
objections and considerations that have been
alleged before. Bat they carefully avoid
touching on the indefeasble right OF Society
TO protect itself against evils that destroy its
peace aud menace its existence; they steer
very clear of the duly of regulating, and if need
be, Of suppressing every demOralizing and per-
bicious branch Of commerce; they scrupulously
ignore the demonstration Of Science that alco-
hol is a poison whose sale may as RICH fully be
restricted as that of any other poison; and
above all, they preserve solemn silence on the
glariog and enormous fact that Of the psupersm
and crime which afilict aud disgrace the CON-
munity and the taxes we are obliged to psy
therefor, a far greater proportion is due to the
existence of the liquor trade than to all other
causes put together. All these things the ora.
tors and resolution. makers among the impartial
lovers of liquor refrain from introducing
iuto their discussions. And yet they think to
convince people who are not like themselves
guided BY affection for liquor, but by sense Of
right and by conviction as to the public good,
that Prohibition is an enormity and folly. We
tell them that if they really desire to accomplish
Ehat end they must adopt new course, They

THE KANSAS QUESTION.

We print in another column plea for the
Missouri Slavery ExtensiOnists. AS embOdying
the ideas of the mass of those engaged in carry
ing Slavery into Kansas, it is entitled to brief
reply which we proceed to give:
The bill erecting the Territory of Kansas was
passed for the purpose of increasing the number
of the Slave States. Hence, though it was
brought forward by "Northern men," and re-
ceiyed the cOuntenance Of ga Northern Admin
"istratiOn," it received the all-but unanimous
support Cf the Slave States in Congress. The
South at least understood that Kansas was to be
Slave State; hence their Representatives
voted for the bill. They sustained the meas
ure in the expectation that it would be a
Slave Stste-that it would contribute to the
restoration of the equilibrium that Mr.. Cal
houn used to talk about. What the idea of
Douglas & Co. was is of no consequence. The
measure was cOncoeted to please the SOuth-to
obtain Southern vOtes--and if its authors had
the most distant idea that Slavery would gain
nothing by it, they simply expected the South
would be cheated. But we presume most of
them thought Slavery would go to Kansas. The
politicians who supported the scheme are gene
rally friends of Gen Case, and that gentleman
processes to consider the "diffasion of Slavery"
blessing. According to his notions, Kansas
may as well be a Slave State as Free one.
Why should different opinions be ascribed to his
friends and supporters Are they not all in
favor Of the diffusion" princplel Doubtless
they are; and hence they sanction the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise. There cannot be
doubt in the mind of any unprejudiced man
that those who sustained the Kansas bill and the
accompanying measures designed to aid Slavery.
This was the idea South; it was the idea North;
it was the idea Of the friends and enemies of
Slavery. Acting upon il, the latter conceived it
to be their duty to make an effort to save
the new territories to Freedom. Little atten-
ton was paid to Nebra;ka; it seems to have
been taken for granted that Slavery would not 20
there; but it was thought best to Try to do
something for Kansas. Hence the Northern men
PreferriDg Freedom to Slavery, have encouraged

The Board of Aldermen last evening received
a mmunication from the Mayor stating that
Mons. Etex, a distinguished French artist, bad
presented to the City his celebrated painting
representing the Glory of the United States. IL
was referred to the Committee on Arts and Sci
ences, that some suitable response might be mlde
to the donor. The Board were compelled, by
reason of the noise from the meeting in the Park,
to adjourn before doing any business of cOnse-
quence.
The only noticeable features in the proceed
ings of the Board Of Counciimen last night were
preamble and resolutions gently censuring the
Mayor for the terms of bis late Message in
answer to inquiry as to detailed Policemen,
which raised pretty stormy debate, in which
the terms " falsehood, Gratis tails sticking out
"of the holes" &C., were pretty freely used by
some Of the members. The debate was cut of
by call of the previous question, and the pre-
omble and resolutions were adopted.

PROTECTION AND FREE-TRADE.

In another part of this paper we copy an arti-
Gle from The National Era in which our cOten-
pOraIy processes to have furnished replies to
sundIy questions submitted for his consderat OF
a fortnight since. In it our readers will find,
ihteImixed with charges OF aterialisIl, barblr

generally popular among our British Free trade
friends, for the reason that they admit Of
being go readily arrayed TO suit the purposes
Of the moment, as is proved by the false tables
so frequently given by our neighbors of The
journal Of Commerce. None know better than
they how thoroughly the subject was UNDER
stood by the statistical clerk who told a new
Secretary of the Treasury that before be COM
menced making out the tables asked of him. he
must know 'ehGt Il pGS that to Be prored, for he
oOHid ErOre anything that 'rGs required; and that
such is the fact was remarkably shown in the
recent case of the Gouge tables, so highly
praised BY our neghbors of Tie Post, until we
were at the pains of exposing their utter false
hood We should like, by the way, to know
from The Post how they could venture to aban-
don a friend so much in need as Mr.. Gouge was
proved to be.
The British Free-trsde process for the manu-
fscture of tables is simple one, and closely re-

engineer charged to report upon two engines
made by different makers, to the one of whom
he desired that a contract should be given to the

Judge Ingrah9m yesterday, in the course of a
decision on an appeal-(the case being that OF
Robert Walker for selling liquor without license,
against whom Justice had given judgment on
defendants own confession -stated explicitly
that the PrOhibitory Law of 1855 did not repeal
the previous penalties until the 4th of July.
This is an authoritative crushing out of the
legal advice under which the Mayor has acte
since the 1st of May; but it comes too late to
have any effect except to show the faf1acy OF
the judgment Of the Corporation and District
Attorneys. Tie main question Of the appeal
was as to the Legality of the proc 'edings before
the Magistrate, and did not touch directly the
legality Of the PIobibitOry Act.

This is the trade that is =" chiehyto England,
nearly the whole amount of which is due TO the
repeal of the corn lsws Our contemporary was
right in expressing his own admiration of the
fact he had brought to light. Admitting now
that this trade "to England" were at once
closed, it would follow that we should Iuire
10 find market for twelve millions of dollars
worth of food per annum, that we might other
wise export At twenty cents for bread per
day, town of 10000 people would make that
market. Let us now suppose that we were pur-
suing the policy so strongly recommended by
General Jacksonville policy that looks to in
creasing the number of consumers of food and
diminishing in comparison the number of pro-
ducers-is il not clear that we should have, not
$50, 900, but million more ofpeope engaged in
opening and working mines, building furnaces
and mills, making cloth and iron, and doing
thousand other things whereby they would DC
enabled to pay the farmer for his food-and
would not this give the farmer a market ten times
greater than that he obtains by help of Brit
ish Free trade Would not this tend to raise
the price of food everywhere while increasing
the power everywhere to purchase jtl Would
not the farmer obtain then nearly if not quite
as much Of the larger quantity going to the West
Indies, South America and elsewhere, as he now
obtains for that and the smaller one that goes to
England united That he would do SO cannot
be questioned; and yet our contemporary would
have our farmers be vastly grateful for the
"boon" by help of which they obtained beg
carly market that would be furnished by town
of $50, 900 people, in return for which they were
required to close existing mills, mines and fur
naces, and refrain from the opening of new
mines, and the building of new furnaces aud
mills, that would before this time have made an
annual market for food to greater extent than
can be sent "to England" in ten if not even
twenty years.

steam; and of the other to the time when It was

steam; and of the other to the time when it was
lust starting from q state of rest to one OF mo-
tion, and when the greatest quantity Of steam
was required to produce the least effect. The
man was highly conscientious-so much so that
nothing would have induced him TO say what was
not literally true-but he saw no more falsehood
in denying some facts and dropping out others
than do our neighbors when they hx up
their columns Of figures in such manner as
10 induce their readers to believe that to be
true. which they themselves should know TO be
false. When they desire to represent the
working of the engine called the American sys-
TEN, they commence their observations at date
when the only evidence of motion is found in
the talk of the necessity for making fire under
the boiler, and cut them short as soon the
train is moving under a full head Of steam.
When, on the contrary, they have to report
upon their fa1orite - the British Free-trade
engiue-they select the moment when the train
has been gotten into full speed and the Ameri-
can engine is just in the acI of detaching itself
from the front, leaving to the other which is
coming up behind, nothing to DO but to keep up
the motion that has required so much effort to
produce. With oil their skill in the arrangement
of figures they are, however, invariably met by
the fact that so soon as the effort produced by
the American engine ceases TO be felt, motion
dmnishes and the train comes so near full
stop that it becomes necessary to call again for
the discarded engine, as in 1924 and 1912, and as
is now the case. Disagreeable facts like
these are, however, always kept as much as
possible out of sight.
We with much that it were in our power to
certify that the course pursued by The Era had
been different, but such is not the case. Its
cause is bad, and it cannot afford to depart from
the ordinary British Free-trade course of pro-
ceedipg The average price of flour in this
City, as furnished by what We believe to be an
questionable authority, for the eighteen years
