State Temperance Convention.

A State Temperance Convention was held
at Mortified on the 10Th inst. Among the
Published proceedings we fluid the following
which should not be lost
Rcsol'cd That pure alcohol is poison. and there
fore should in no case. be used beverage even in
small quantities.
nr Powers presented the following amendment.
And, in the opinion of hi, convention it, usc for any
purpose Whatever ought not To be sanctioned m law =
Til amendment elected spirited DISCUSSION, and
was finally adopted.
From the second paragraph we learn that
the amendment was substituted for the original
resolution and was adopted by the Convention
in the following form:
Re",lrd That in the opinion of this Convention. the
sale Of alcohol, in any oft, forms, ought NOT To- be
sanctioned by law, for ANY purpose whatever.
This affords but another illustration of the
extent to which persons will go in the expedi-
tons they make when mounted upon any par
ticular hobby. 1t is bat the natural result of
the pursuit of an idea segregated from its prop
cr relation to other and cognate ideas 1t cx-
hbts the wisdom Of man vino seeing an OBJ.
Ject IN the distance, closes his eyes to every IN
tervenng obstacle and rushes with obscured Wis
ION in pursuit Of that one object
A pertinent inquiry here arises What is
the cause of temperance to gain by the discus
sion and passage of such resolutions as the one
above quoted The use of alcohol is closely
interviewer with the arts aud sciences There
Is scarcely branch of manufacture recurring
chemical combinations when alcohol is not used
10 resolve that lis sale for any purpose what.
ever should be prohibited is only to expose the
weakness and lmpolency of those who make
such resolves. 1t has no more TO do with TEN
perlncc than has the printing of calico or the
burning of fluid and it is much of much less
practical utility and effect than the discussion
OF such schooi-boy lyceum questions as q" Which
affords the most pleasure, anticipation or reali-
zation,' or, " Resolved, that the moon is made
Of green cheese
The subject of temperance in all things and
abstinence from intoxicating drinks is one that
should command the earnest sympathy and CO.
operation OF every night minded citizen. Ii
commends itself 10 the physical as well as the
moral well-heing Of every person. But the
principles Of temperance will never be driven
into the practices of men or commended to their
hearts and conscicnces by any such resolutions
as the one above quoted Their only use is 10
hiring the cause into dscrrdit and show how
poweress are those who seek 10 make it their
hobby to ride into place and power.

The commissioner recommends change in the
mode of collecting fees which he suggests should
bepaid step ly step, services rendered, which
change if effected win obyiae the necessity of
turning fees on applications withdrawn, after ex-
animation and rejection.
The following singular paragraph is contained in
the rcport--singular for the fact therein stated:
" 1t shoud'bc mentioned that within the year
just closed, applications have been filed for letters
patent fJr several inventions, alleged to he valuable
and TO have been made ly slaves Of the Southern
States. As these persons could not take the oath
required by the statute, and were legally incompe-
tent, alike to receive patent and 10 transfer their
interest to Others the applications were necessarily
rejected. The matter is now presented to the con-
sdcration Of Congress, that in its wisdom, il may
decide whether some modification of the existing
law should not he male, in order to meet this en-
Urgency, which has arisen, believe, Tor the first
time in the history Of inventions in our country"

The above is n pretty good conundrum, but it i
not as good AS the fact that the more rushcs there

the parties making the rush, We anticipate for
the next drawing rush from all parts of the Union

The ENGLISH DiCroNARY.--Few English

large proporfionsof words in il which are strange
TO HIN, and which, ii NOT wholly undomesticated
or become obsolete, are rarely MT with in the

Dublin University Magazine in the following
paragraph, undertakes to indicate approximate
IL the proportion 81 words found in the diclon-
ary. which rarely II ever enter into either the
spoken or writicn language of The present day :
q" Dictionary English is something very differ

from that Of ordinary written composition. ln-
stead of about forty Thousand words, there is
probably no single author in the language from
whose work, however voluminous, SO III my as
ten thousand words cOud lie collected. on the
forty Thousand words. there are certainly many

ably hardly extends TO ten thousand words our
common spoken English hardly to five thousand.
And the proportion Of native or home grown
wor,ls is Undoubtedly very much higher in both
the five thousand anil the ten thousand han it is
in the forty thousan |. Perhaps of the thirty
thousand words, or Whereabouts, standing ia the
dictionaries that are very rarely or never used,
