What right have Courts to grant Ii
renso for the perpotuation Of any evil ;
What right has government TO sell q
permit or license to break, cjolate Or iy-
more the lar of the Snprcme Ru5r?-
Where dc they get the right? DO We as
government practice this folly? as a
people. do we claim the right to change
the Lar Of GOD, to suit our own person
al interests to s2tiate our own vile lusts;
and the wicked propensitics of our carnal
hearts. How is it. that men think they
have right to oppress their fellow men,
as in the institution of slavery to create
public nuisances, in the shape of drink
ing houses, dram shops, &c, &c. Thereby
destroying the morals Of whole communi-
ties; yea of every community, for where
have they not found their way, by which
' the very air is rendered unwholesomc by
the profanity, obscanity and fumes Of
whisky, (Poison) and all this done under
the plausible title of Liberty d! much
abused term. O! Pcrrerted prdaciplc :
How long has thy wings been made the
shelter Of the most gigantic oppression
which has culmigated in most formida-
bic rebellion. But the shades are disper-
sing and soon we hope to see thy flag,
trWthfaliy float, over the Gland of the
free, and the home of the brave" But
not entirelyso until license la,s of every
complexion be banshed from our Govern
ment and courts. Now is the time to

THE SCENEOF BUTLER 5 OPERATIONS.
"A correspondent of the Boston JoUWak
who resided for several years in Richmond,
gives the following sketch ofthc topograph-
ical features of the country IN which Gen
Butleris operating
IF Gen. Butler meets with no serious
check he win capture or destroy Rich
moud. City Point is the weak spot Of
Richmond 1t is but ten or twelve miles
from Petersburg with railroad to the lat
ter place, and the Appomattox--navigable
for one hundred and fifty ton craft-run-
ming to the same point Petersburg is
twenty-five miles from Richmond, on the
railroad that runs through Weldon, Raj
ei2h, Columbia and Charleston to Sayan-
nah, which is the great artery of supply
and communication Of the Contederacy.
"Taking Petersburg, Gen. Butler will
cut Lees main reliance tocontinue battle
and can move over pretty good ground di-
rccJly to Manchester, opposite Richmond,
and tho place would then be at his mercy
Or, ma king Petersburg, by moving to
the right, he could strike the emilroad far
ther north with the same result. Bcr-
muda Hundred, is the terminus of deep
navigation for the navy and transports

ITEMS ABOUT THE CAlIPAIGN.-The
method of attack pursued by Lee
must have been far more .eXhausting
to his men than to ours; it involved
the necessity of moving heavy bod
les Of troops from end to end of his
long line Of battle, not once but at
least four or FIVE times, so that We
may believe q great part Of the rebel
army, besides fighting, marched from
fifteen to twenty miles, mereiyin man
muvring, during the two days. AT
ter such extraordinary eXcrdons men
require rest, and TO be forced to re-
treat at the end is sufficient to break
them down.
Our army set out provisioned for
thirteen days; it has been but six
days under way, and the rations
slowed in wagons were perhaps touch
ed on Monday for the first time.
There is necessarily great waste Of
provisions during such days of excite
mcnt. as those of last week; but we
may take it for granted that Meade
has sufficient supplies for his troops
to cary them within reach of new
base.
