\ TEMPTATION To VikTUE.-We sec it
stated that Il number Of gentlemen, in New
York, propose to carry out a plan for coun-
teracting the temptations to drinking that
beset the young men of that city, as follows;
They propose to open a coffee room in the
fourth wa,d, where hcalthful refreshments
shall be sold, with II pleasant room for sJciil
conversation and library and reading room
attached. In their published circular they
argue that many young men are led into
drinking saloons and similar places because
they have no other pleasant place of resort,
and when there they naturally take to liquor.
They say 1.-THE public are aware to
what extent drunkenness prevails in the fourth
| ward. The returns Tor licensed and unli-
cenScd shops tor the sale of liquor. show that
there is one grog-shop for every five persons,
men. women and children, resident in the
ward. 1t is well known that many who
support these shops, and who are led into
habits OF intoxicatiun, are young mn and
| boys. They live in crowded tenement houses
or board with poor families, and after II DAYS
work naturally W sh for II little slcialitv aud
amusement, outside Cf their disaTeeahle
Ia mes. They can scarcely find it in any de-
cent place in the whole ward Vice has her

good IN London, do not exist there, to any
number. There are over five hundred shops

THE OBERLIN REsCUERs.

We noticed month or two since the ar
rest of thirty-seven citizens of Oberlin, Ohio,
for rescuing from the hands OF some Ken
fucky slave hunters, a negro. John, who was
claimed as a fugitive slave. The trial and
conviction Of one of tae rescucrs, has
just taken place at Cleveland, and will doubt
less be followed by the conviction OF the rest
of the indicted parties, (among whom is
Prof Peck of Obcrln College,, with the cS-
cepton of two, who being d emocrats, were
probably indicted by mistake. At any rate
they have been discharged from the indict-
ment by the District Attorney.
That the indicted parties took the negro
from the kldnappers, and sent him on his
way to Canada, believing him to be fug-
which forms the badge of the servitude of the
Free States to the Slave power, and winch
forbids interference with such Il man-hunt,
is not doubted. But they are not without
legal defense. The warrant under which
the U. S. Marshal took the slave, having
been issued in the Southern District of Ohio,
was invalid in the Northern District where
the seizure took place. This, however,
,eems to have been no bar to conviction.
The iniquity of II strict administration Of
the law was not enough but must be connect

them deputy U. S. Marshal no man was
allowed TO be on /. who was not committed

of Bushnell, the Judge, Wilson, declared
that the same jury should try all the cases
The counsel protested against this unheart
of injustice, but to no effect, AMI upon the
prisoners declaring that they would make NJ

Judged their case, the Judge ordered them t.
