ANTI ToBAcco.-Rev. George Trask, of Fitch
burg, spoke in this city on Sunday last, at the
Park Street Church, in the forenoon, and at the
Mission Chapelin the evening, besides addressing
a numbeS of Sunday Schools upon the evils of
Tobacco using. When tits considered that $780,
100000 are annually spent by the people of the
United States for this useless and perncious weed,
that its use is injurious to TIE moral and physical
nature, directly producing all the varieties of her
vous diseases, as we'll as torpidity and paralysis
of the muscular actions, besides Supplying the
brain and producing various states of insanity
and mbeclity, that, from its virulently poisonous
character, it cannot be used in any quantity, by
any perron in healthy state, without danger, and
farther, that its use by the young tends directly
to the use of Intoxicating drink as little exam
ination will show that more dissipation and
drunkenness have had their origin in the use of
tobacco than in any other one cause, we cannot
but stand aghast at the tremendous food of evil
that comes upon US through the worse than waste
OF this enormous amount of thirty millions of
dollars. This sum is sufficient to support all the
religious churches Of the country, eight hundred
such organizations as the American Board of For
eign Missions, one thousand such as the ATueri-
Tract Society, or to give half barrel of -four,
at present prices, to every family in the United
States and yet lis paid willingly voluntarily, by
the foolish pitiable slaves of the vile and filthy
weed
Thank God that a movement is commenced
against it, that Mr.. Traskis willing to devote his
time, his talents, his money, his all, to this no.
bic, this needed work. Shall he fight alone, sim
gle handed Or will all Christians, all philan-
thropists, all patriots, take hold and give him the
aid of their sympathy, their influence, and their
money, to help him continue and enlarge the be-
nevolent work he has SO manfully begun Will
you help him to continue his labor of preaching
and lecturing, and in the publication of tracts,
books, &c., that shall Tighten, warn, and in
struct the community upon the evils and dangers
of this enormous SIM Let every reader of this
answer to his own conscience and to God what he
ought to do in the premises. T.

We Law before our readers, this morning,

have been recently enacted in Kanzas, under

pointment, are Of a nature which cannot but
excite the disgust of even the most callous

message of the President, apologizing for all
these acts, and attempting to defend them, caps
the climax of the whole, by its monstrosity in
statement and reasoning. TIE letter of Gov.

Commodore Morris was a native of Connect

that he keeps the very hest horses and narriaOns
