Temperance.

We are glad.to see the position q number
of our valuable CORES pondents have taken
on this all absorbing subject. We regret that
many who once stood firm in the Temper
ance band, hsve ceased to take that interest
in the cause, which used to characterize
their every act And many who have given
their first attention TO this subject in the
past, now pass BY an article headed Temp
erance" as something stale and not even
worth a passing Dotice. TO them it has
lost its novelty but is it less important tina n
il ever was! Has intemperance ceased to
be that prolific sourss Of evil that it former
" was, Is there no demand for any further
RESTRAINT than is now practiced! Surely no
one will for a minute think so. Who is
there of all our readers, but sees daily ample
cause for renewed zeal in the temperance
cause. Who has not friend, an acguaint-
ance, some one in whom we are interested
that is hastsning his Obstruction and death,
and why, because those who can do not ,re-
move the cause.
These poor mortals have become SLAVES TO
an appetite over which they have no con-
troll, and it remains only for those who can
to remove the object of their desire from
their reach or be answerable for their ruin.
The cause has with some become unpopular

locOfoco Stealings.

EXasperated at the unfairness and mean
ness of the Slave Democracy press, in at
tempting to throw the responsibility ofthe
enormous defulcation in the State Treasury
from the shoulders o: their own party where
it has been unmistakably fixed, and charge
it upon the Repub licans, The Ohio State
Journal INDUCES in the following truthful
train of rehectio ms on the subject:
"We can show where Governor Medill
has paid men for personal services to him
selfand party out of the public treasury.
We can show where locofoce papers in this
city have been.priEie6 on State paper;whiIe
the military arms OF the State have been
sold by locoioco officials, in one instance to
the amount of sixteen hundred dollars, and
the money never paid into the treasury
We can show how the peoples money was
taken Fy the handful to enrich corrupt con-
tractors of tie Safe House and Lunatic As
ylums, and how men who had charge of tn e
Ohio penitentiary distracted the public mo-
neys in mann6r that would have disgraced
scme of the convicts over whom they had
charge. Many OF these lacts stand record
ed ON the imperishable records of the sGener-
al Assembly, and the others, we believe ARE
susceptible of being proved by indisputable
testimony before any court of justice.
"We commend the gentry who are now
trying to blacken the fair name of one of
the noblest men that the people OF Ohio ev-
er honored with their confidence, to husband
their resources, and not to presume any fur
ther upon the forbearance of their Oppon-
ents. The men who are now endeavoring
to turn the current of public Indignation
from its proper channel into directions de-
vious and winding that they may escape
from the consequences of their own acts ,and
thus screen the guilty and wrong the inno-
cent, know 'ull woll the hue of the cata-
logue which Is written against them, and it |
is only the common trick OF the detected
VINO hopes to escape by joining the
hue and cry of stop thief, which they are at
to palm off upon the public.

Temperance. The two means that have
been used to eradicate The evil of intemper-
ance, in measure have failed. The one
sought TO gain the end entirely through
moral suation.' The other having no faith
in SO mild a means, sought the force OF the
law. Now had these two force combined,
as they ultimately must, then we anticipate

Shooting Fugitives on the Fourth

lSOiiestoHutnCeu VI lle CHlCd5o IIIoune
NASHVILLE, Washington County ILL.,,
July 4th, 1857. {
The citizens of this place have Just been
engaged in celebrating this anniversary OF
our independence, by holding an inquest
over the body ofa fugitive slave, who was
shot last night in the vicinity.
1t was reported in town yesterday that
tIree runaway slaves were in the neighbor-
hood, and last night large crowd started in
search of them. Alter scouting the country
for several hours in vain, most of the crowd
returned, but a detached party of some half
dozen, in returning, met with the unfortu-
nate iugitives in the road, some two miles
east of town, and ordered them to surrend-
er.
The evidence before the jury on the in
dictmnet was, that one Of the negroes made
fight with pistol in each hand, and was
shot by one of the party in self-Gefense. But
the wound showed that he wa. shot while
running, for gentleman who had examined
the wound, told me that the hole made by the
bullet was much larger behind than before
Hewas shot through tie lower par o. theiab-
domen, and died in about an hour and half
after. The other two fugitives made their
escape, though they were fired upon as they
ran, and it is thought By the party that one
of them was wounded.

From the Boston Traveller.
Next House of Representatives.

NOAo houoO VI REPRESENTATIVES,.
The U. S. House of Representatives now
contains 7S Democrats and SO anti Demo-
Gratis, being an anti Democratic majority of
l5. There are 63 members vet to be elec-
ted. Should all the districts yet to elect go
as they did two years since, there will be
l2l Democrats in the House, and Il3 men,
bers of the opposition, or Democratic ma
joritY of eight. 1t is probable that the ma
iority of the Administration will be about
that figure. II can be made larger only by
defeat of the American party in six of the
nine Southern States in which elections are
yet to be held. In three of the nj Estates
The Americans had no members of the last
House. and should they gain any there, it
will be clear gain. If they should hold
their own in the other six,it will be as much
as can be expected, under the reign of ter
ror that now prevails for the benefit Of those
driven niggers,' the Democracy. Eight, ten,
or twelve will be but small majority for the
Administration 10 work with, in view of the
quarrels that are coming upon its supporters
about spoils and slavery. 1t would be quite
large enough-perhaps better than one of
eighty would be-if the party were thorough
ly united; but as it is not united and as the
difficulties that beset it scarcely admit of
compromise, such a majority cannot be con-
sidered one of reliable character.
1t will not. for instance, be found strong
enough to admit Kansas as a holding
State, or to pass any other slave holding
act through Congress. The repeal of the
Missouri Compromise was forced through
the House of Representatives by only i3
majority, though the Democratic there was
six or eight times as great as it is likely to
be in the House that is TO meet in Decem-
Der next.
There could have been no Democratic
majority gin the House, had it not been for
the stupidity OF some portion of the opposi-
tioh. They lost two members in Connec-
ticut, and at least as many more in New
York, that they should have had. Had these
been kept,the House would have been tied, ,
SO that the Democrats could have done no
mischief. The wolves would have been
muzzled. Brt other members were lost
through the folleS of the opposition, which
are the chief sources ofDemocratic success,
giving them Lot only the Presidency, but
majority in the popular branch of the Ma
tional Legislature, though the majority
against them in the popular vote is more
than the third of million. But there are
some people at whom fortune throws her
favors only to break their heads, land so prec-
ious soft are those heads. 1t is some conso-
lation, on looking over the list of members
already elected, to see that the majority
against the Democrats in the Tree State
Delegations is thirly-niue, and that there is
not single pro-slavery Democrat elected
from the Democratic States of Maine, New
Hampshire, Iowa, Missouri and Michigan
ail.o which States supported General Cass
in 1913.

Mormon Difficulty.

Utah is an organized TeErity, with Gov-
ernor appointed by the President Of the
Unf.ed States; whose course has been so
far sanctioned by the Administration, that
there has been no change materially :or
years in the officers or laws by which they
were governed. During this time Utah has
grown in strength, and her peculiar institu-
.tions have gained ssfo ,th. ID ussil she nov
ssssds formidab!s- s.fisshss sssfaiing 1lie
psxess Of Government to settle. That the
Administration is now taking the wisest
course is very doubtful indeed. 1t may
however prove the better policy, but we
dread the consequences. 1t seems that
Gen. HARKEY, with men and means enough
to carry war successfully into Mexico, is
ordered to Utah, to see that the new Gov
etnor and other officers are respected in
their various capacities. Without asking
BRIGHAM YOUNG whether he will submit te
being rotated according TO democratic rule,
and without sufficient grounds for judging
that he will not, they send out an armed
host, at a cost OF over a million Of dollars
20 demand of him to surrender his office (not
his wives) to successor.
IF there is any thing that is likely to
call out resitance on the part of the Nor
mnns II ia sending an army as thouph to
make war upon them. The officers of course
should be accompanied by sufficient force
to command respect, and obedieRee, but
the Mormons should have been the agress-
ors. The Government has no right to make
war on any State or territory except it be
IN declared in state of rebellion. 1t is
true that Utah has refused to acknowledge
certain laws Of the country, but is she in a
state of rebellion against the Government.
For the institutions of Utah, there is no one
holds more bitter aversion, than we dos.but
not could the object be accomplished by more
udicious means! There are those who will
die martyrs to the cause, thinking they are
doing God service, and their blood will
nourish the delusion, and they will gain
strength by every such means to put them
down. But let them be tho open agrees
ors and the sympathy is changed to cur side
and success is sure.
