The British are at last TO be forced
into a recognition Of moral law by bust
ness competition. The Chinese authori-
ties have always hitherto prohibited the
cultivation and importation of opium by
the scverest penalties, but the English
have managed TO supply the appetite for
it by superior cunning and rascality ;
and now the authorities, finding it USE
less to contend against both the appetite
and the English, one just as mean as the
other, have resolved to allow its cultiva-
ton, while prohibiting its importation,
and thus break up the infamous English
outrage as least, if they can do no more.

When Congress assembled last December,

bodys runaway slaves. II, within a reasonable

no owner came, the negro was to be sold TO

charged what he saw ft for board AID
gave such az he chose, while the Government
found lodging and the negro did without bed
ding, the arrangement was satisfactory to all
but the negro, whose rights nobody pretended
to respect, so who was to complain
Among the negroes thus taken in and done
for were several slaves Of rebels who had
absconded from the District or its vicinity to
fight for the Rebellion. yet whore rights were
thus cared for by our paternal Government.
Congress did not like the look Of the thing, and

;,o.or Ia IL unwise or foolish to say that the
.aSne.. of April 10, 1861. was deeper on the
e5th OF May, ls62-not that our young men
are called upon again TO buckle on their KNAPP
sacks aud shoulder their muskets at their coGn-
trv's call. bnt that the oc .asion is the same
that Rebel hordes still hover about aud threaten
the Capits-that the Kissing head of Seditlon
etill rises uncrusheJ in the self-same spot.
But the energy aud the zeal of the people
are indomitable. The Government can ask Tor
nothing that it cannot have. If the occasion
for this new uprising is the same, 80 is the
spirit that meets it. IDsurrection is TO be met
and suppressed wherever it shows itself, and
the LOYALTY that springs to the work is as I'M
swcrvipg and Is enthusiastic now az before
more unquestioning and reader than any ever
vet recorded in the history Of any people. In
less than eight and forty hours from the momenl
that the order reaches u.s. New-YOrk bas seat
her sons TO the scene of the expected con-
Hict. The Rebels, with oil their zeal, resort
TO conscription; with us, the only conpuison
needed is to keep back with some show OF
order and necessary discipline the Thousands

enrolled. Regiments in this city I'LL up faster
L,n names can be taken down. The fear
among the multitude ia that they may lose the
chance of serving. Tie young men OF the ''h
are looked at with enyious eyes that their Por-
feet orgouzation enables them to take the
field while others must wait the SLOW process
of enrolment. The recruiting Offices are filled
n Overlooking with those who demand place
in the ranks.
And as it was year ago in Massachusetts,
so is it now. She stops to ask no questions
Her rren DO not wait for sunrise when the
call comes to meet an enemy. The order

Government Deed never fear that it can ash
too much of the people TO aid it N the de
struction of the enemies of the Union and Lab

b advanced guard, but Massachusetts, Will trea'
