The First Response.

1t has been proposed by several OF the
friends of the Temperance Reform, that a
Tract for general circulation among the peo-
pie of North Carolina, be gotten up, contain
ing the Report of the Committee on Propo-
sitions and Grievances, with a Reply thereto,
say the forcible and conclusive Letters of
3 Pickled-Rod,' and any other arguments that
may be thought advisable. The originators
of this proposition think there should be
from twenty-five to fifty thousand copies
struck off, in order to reach the masses-the
object contemplated in the publication. 10
do this, of course, a fund must be raised to
defray tie expense of printing. A distin-
guished gentleman and friend of our cause,
has sent us the annexed note, with IS enclo-
sed, as his contribution to this object. Who
will be the next to respond? If gotten up
at all, the matter should be attended to
forthwith. AS soon as a fund is raised to
, Justify it, the work of printing the Tract will
be entered upon. Read the annexed note
and follow the good example set:
MR. EDITOR L notice In YOU paper re

you value the peace, happiness and future
well-being of thousands yet unborn-6epqre

Wherever the liquor traffic has been sig
nally defeated and the friends of reform
firmly hold their ground, it has always been
by the passage of a prohibitory law. Moral
suasion has sometimes accomplished a great
and radical change, but where there was no
legal prohibitory law to hold the conquered
foe in subsection, the traffic has returned
under a legal cloak with four-fold violence
to do it's work of ruin and death. This is
the difference between moral and legal sua-
sion. The permanency and success of the
former is depenant upon the latter.

FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
Prohibitory Liquor Laws.

b1 ChAhLEo A. D1OLLO"
1t is but a little while since, that q work
soon to be perfected in our Union, q work
which will more than any other establish the
name of this country as the first upon earth,
was commenced, most ~fttingly, in the Cor
ner Stone State Maine-at the beginning.
At first confessedly but an experiment, yet
watched from far and near with a trembling
hope, success has made it a fixed fact and
now the advocates of Prohibition, active the
whole country over, can point not only to
Maine, as the pioneer, but to other old and
influential States where successful expert,
ment has engrafted Prohibitory laws as a
permanent feature upon the laws of the land.
The work is arduous, and temperance men
have fought long, but when will they lay OF
their armor? Not, | believe, in the present
stage of the conflict. The epitaph 'lntem
perance the Destroyer has too often beer
graved upon the tombstones of Genius Onc'
commanding, buds once promising, for 1t t.
be a forgotten or a forgiven enemy. III
fame of the man who wrote and proposed
for enactment the first draft Of a ProhlbI
tory liquor law is, as it should be, worldwide
but not yet has it reached its acme. Whef
at a not far distant time, this reform sha
nave %triumphed and men refer to the preser
as the time when almost universally an il
toxicating poison was sold ope My, upon tt
only vile plea of profit, the founder of tt
new era in social life and his coadjutors Wi
receive an homage second only to that no
accorded to the father of our country's fire
dom. Men, yes, men, had been moaning an
bemoaning for ages over the evils of inter
perance, yet could discover no remedy-Ne
Dow wrote it in one word. Prohibition. Nj
did not believe it within the prOUlnce OF la
to Suppress intern p%erance, still less within
power-but standing on the eternal platfo1
that society has a right to protect ITSELF al
right being the foundation of all law, had r
consequence the power, perhaps weak at fir
couK u rUr Astauteu rnat society could prote
itself, and u a discovery was made and t
world admitted it's truth. May the gre
truth soon prevail universally !!

DS~ We have seen the rank, the name and
the merit of dead men claimed by their vain
descendants, and the laurels they had won
by a lifetime genius placed upon the stupid
and unworthy brow. And we have seen the
mirrored stars on the quiet bosom of the
woodland lake in the deep noon of night,
but the stars on the lake would not have been
seen but for their gem-bright originals that
beautiied the heavens, \

The Bedside Of Affection.

There is much of profit and comfort to be
DERIVED by the Christian, even while minis
and Deep bodily suffering. IT'S not to be
foundI though, in the emaciated form, the
sunke0 eye and ashy face of the stricken in
valid, for these are but sad tokens to the low
ing watchers, of the decline of life and the
triumph of the i~nsatiate enemy--death. IT'S
not to be found in the heaving sigh, the burn
ing tear. the lingering, indispensable gaze of
the poor suferer-for each sigh, and tear
and loving glance admonish US that the VIC
tim Of disease feels that it will soon be over
with him or her. In all this there is no COM
fort-nothing to soothe and quiet the troubled,
%throbbing heart. Mono! But when all
these are bearing and crushing US to earth
when we feel that we are about to be separa-
ted from the dearest loved and cherished of
the heart-when Physicians tell US the dis
ease is mortal, pasttheir remedial skill-when
the stricken one feels, and hears and knows
that disease is fast bearing her away, then
to near the joyous exclamation-"I know
that my Redeemer liveth and though after
my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my
flesh shall | see God-whom 1 shall see for
myself and not for another" "Thanks be to
God who giveth us the victory" Whom the
Lord loyeth he chasteneth." Yea, Lord, I
kiss thy Christening rod, and bless thy holy
name. Amid such Civilizations, it's then we
rise above all the sorrows of the scene
around US and exclaim-"Oh! death, where
is thy sting? Oh grave wherei is thy victory"
The scofer and infdel knoweth nothing of
the inspiring hope of the christians faith.

B Wake Superior Court was in session
last week, His Honor Judge Caldwell presi-
ding. The only capital case on the docket
was continued. There was, however, a large
amount Of business despatched, and offenders
made to feel and fear the terrors of the law.
Our Jail is pretty we'll filed with v~iolators of
the peace and dignity of the State and if
such characters were always thus dealt with,
offences would become less frequent. Judge
Caldwell is, emphatically, what all admins
traitors Of the law should be-" a terror to
evil doers." We honor him for the stern,
infexible justice he deals out to all alike
He is indeed "doing the State some service"
Long may he live to vindicate and enforce
the laws of the land.
His Honor decided the Licenses granted
by the last County Court, for this City, ille-
gal, and those selling under them liable to
Indictment. Now for the warrants.

North Carolina. 1t is handsomely gotten
up and well filled with original and selected
matter. The Editor, Mr.. Thos. j. Lemav.
makes his bow to the public in a very neat
and well written Introductory. Mr.. Lemay
has, for years, been zealously devoted to the
interests of North Carolina. As Editor Of
the Star for over twenty FIVE years, he always
devoted a portion of its columns to these
important pursuits. We have no hesitation
in saying that he has done more than any
other one mar in arousing public sentiment
to the necessity and importance of some
advancement. As a specimen eff the typo

1NDEsTRUcTIBILITv OF THE BIBLE.-Four
thousand years this volume has withstood
not only the iron tooth Of time, but all the
physical and intellectual strength of man.
Pretended friends have endeavored 10 cor
rupt and betrsy it; Kings and Princes have
perseyeringIy sought 20 Danish it from the
world; the civil and military powers Of the
greatest empires Of the world have been
leagued for its destruction; the 6res Of
persecution have been lighted to consume
it and its friends together; and at many
seasons death, in its most horrid form has
been the almost certain consequence Of af-
fording it an asylum from the fury Of its
enemies Though it has been ridiculed
more bitterly, misrePresented more grossly,
opposed more rancorously, and burnt more
frequently than any other book. and per-
haps, than all other books united, it is so
far from sinking under the efforts ofits en-
emies, that the probability Of It's Surviving
until the final consdmmation Of al things
is much greater than ever. The rain has
descended, the foods have come, the storm
has arisen, and beat upon rock Like the
burning bush, il has heen in the fumes. yet
it is sill unconsumed; sufficient proof,
were ;here no other; that He who spqke
from the bush is the author Of the Bible.

COOKING BY GAs.-The Albany Journal
in speaking of the experiments in that city
of cooking by gas heat, says;
The articles were cooked vastly better
than they could have been by the ordinary
process. The juices were preserved entire
nothing of the substance Of the meat
was lost-nor was it burned or otherwise
injured, as most meats are, by improper
contact with Ere or smoke. By the admir-
able process adopted, the juices perform
their legitimate functions--no artificial heat
ing is required, and the steak is perfect
without the use Of butter in its dressing.
The most refined epicure would infinitely
prefer a steak broiled by this process;
while, from the portable character of the
apparatus, and the entire absence ofsmoke,
as well from the Ere as from the articles
cooked, it can be used as well in the parlOr
as in the kitchen.
