THE CURTAIN LrFTED.-A correspon
dent Of the New Orleans Dslts, thus
foreshndows the Democratic plan for the
future:
I'VE have just passed. OF soon will.
through a terrible crisis. There was
danger, say what YOU may. The South
now wants security for the future, and
she must have it. There is now no ex-
cuse-we ore in power. Extension of
slavery is the testing crucib.e. The
South demands an equali,ysin the F,de-
al Senate; hence. the first step is TO adj
nit Kansas as Slave State, on Offset TO
Califoruia--ihise equilibrium never here
after. to be disturbed; for overy free State,
one Slave State, The principles OF the

slavery or non slavery, never to be re

The New Albany Ledger. one of the
mos: jealous. and. perhaps. the ablest,
Democratic paper in the State, in one OF
its late issues contains some very sensi-
BILE remsrks on this subject. We cheer
fully give room to the following extract
from an an editorial article Of some
length, in that paper:
The position Of the Ledger on The
Subject OF the liquor ira ific is well known.
We always opposed the Maine law. as
arbitrary. unjust, and calculated 10 re-
tard rather than advance the cause OF
temperance. Suth law wss passed in
this Stale and declared unconstitutional
BY the Supreme Court. IL has been a.
bandoned o: declared unconstitutional in
almost every State in which is was en-
sscted. rad may now be regarded as
t,acng the things that were. But we
have ever favored The placing Of strong
restrictions son the liquor traffic. We
would not only place the seller under
strici sarveillabce and impose heavy pen
allies on those who sell without uuthor
ity of law. butwolIld make drunkenness
Itself an ofemse. and subject those gull
~ Of il to penalties and disabilities So
long as the liquor seller only is held up
TO public indigns ton and punishment,
the liquor drinker. escapes under very
convenient ples--he attributes much of
the blame which Justly alta Ches 40 his
own conduct to the seller. who. guilty
though he may be, is not alone guilty
If licuor selling is crime liquor dIink-
ing ought 20 be regarded as one. The
seller is but the accomplice-the drinker
is the pfincipsl. II one man furnishes
another the implements with which TO
commit burglary. and the latter actual
ly breaks open aud robs his neighbors
house, the law Furnishes. or ought TO pun
rh. both alike. So, in like manner. let
the man who guiltily furnishes the arti-
Gle which produces drunkenness and the
man who makes beast out Of himself
by drinking to excess bear an equal share
OF the responsibility.
We have strong fshh that the nexi
Legislature will pass some law which
will remedy the evil under which our
State is now laboring in consequences Of
the folly Of the last Legislature. II Is

We agree with the Chicago Tribune.
that the admission Of Whitfield, to a
seat in Congress. as Delegate from

in the political history Of the times
We ask our readers to notice ii as an ev-
ideneesof the decadcncs OF the liberty
loving sentiment in The House OF Repro
sen,atives 10 which the country has been
accustomed olook FOR the defence and
preservation Of popular rights. We need
not recount the facts or his case; there
is not school-boy OF dozen years of
age who does not know them. The esi-
denccs OF the illegsli.y Of his election
were be fore tho House in shape shat
admitted Of no dispute; and at the last
session. upon these evidences. he was in
dignant'y and peremptoIily pushed out.
That was before election, when the ef-
fact of sanctioniug the usurpalion OF
which he is cleurIs guilty. was to be
dreaded. But now that the contest is
over and The backs OF the proPogaudists
are siiffsned. they are ready to bear any
load that The South may choose 10 i'm

The sale or drinking of arden: spirits.
We have heard Democrats argue much
more zcalously in favor of free whiskey
than they would for free speech, free
press or free territory. They seemed to
think the right to scatter aud ropsgste
evil was much more sacred than The figh:
to extend the blessings of liberty and
equality, in any way. Ii they have dis
covered their error we shall rejoice TO

We do not mean by this to say thai
we are in favor Of such a law as that o.
1850. We are not. That law contain,
ed. in our opinion, some very cdious pro
visions. The law in. force at the tim,
of its passage. was much better, and wa'
producing very beneficial influence up
on society. The re enactment Of th'
same law. with one or two slight amend
menis. would soon be attended with tn,
best of consequences. ~

HARRISBURG, Jan. -.
The Anti Nebraska members of tn,

men, and they are acting harmoniousl,
and efficiently together. For myself,
prefer to see but SO of our friends in tn,
House, if they are able, true, and agreed
than to have So members, and them con
stantly jangling as they were last winter
The majority are in tight place as re
CARDS the liquor question. They have pu
a bill through the House simply repeating
the restraining law Of last session
But they are afraid to let it pass the Sen
ate in that shape-notwithstanding they
were elected under promise to do this very
work. The present impression is that d
stringent license law will be adopted il
place of our present. Although l much
prefer the law as it is, am confident the
Temperance sentiment of the State is
bound to triumph, and that the majority
of the present Legislature can neither
meddle " it'll the restraining law, nor let it
alone, withou. getting badly burned.
Our friends are holding frequent consul
tations as to the issuing Of call FOR a
State Convention of Anti-Nebraska men.
There is strong probability that such a
call will soon be issued. ism.
