BosroN, Apr. 16, 1866.
FRIEND STONE Last Sabbath DIR.
Kirk preached one of his ablest discourses,
from the text, 90 death, where is thy
sting. O grave, where is thy victory :"
and at its close, paid an admirable tribute
to the memory of .your lamented Senator,
Mr.. Foot. 1t would take too much time
to make even Il hasty report of it: and
vet. the lessons drawn from it, enforced as
they were by quotations from the scenes of
the last days OF that honored and faithful
representative of your state, for SO many
years, were striking and in point. We
well recollect seeing and hearing Mr. Foot
at st. Johnsbury and Montpelier, upon
different occasions, and could not but be
struck by the strong physical resemblance
and bearing of these two prominent public
men.
There seems to be an awakening upon
the subject OF temperance, in different
parts OF the country, and it is to be hoped
that better counsel, and examples than
those OF Senators Salisbury and McDou-
gall, prevail. 1t is bad enough for any
one occupying such position, to get
drunk, but to have them undertake to
make proselytes to their sentiments, is alb
soluteiy barbarouS.
The decision recently made, taking the
power to regulate Or prohibit the traffic,
from the states. individually, and giving it
to the government. seems to be 4 re-en-
actmcnt of the old doctrine, set aside many
years ago, by the supreme court, in spite
1.-THE country needed the duties on import
ed liquors, ergo, the traffic must continue. :"
1t is hoped that the report that there are
fifteen candidates for the state prison, in
one county in the good old green noun
tam state, i'll consequence of drunkenness,
is Il libel, though the papers give currency
to the charge. Your temperance law,
carried by Il ma jority of one-and which
your correspondent aided in its enactment
in his feeble way-haS doubtless done
much good, though perfection may not be
stamped upon It's letter, spirit, OF admins
iration. 1t is very easy to say that these
things will regulate themselves, though the
same sentiment and principle may be ap-
piled TO all law The evil tendency of
things must sometimes be checked. bv
what some conStrue :,> rude interference
with the personal rights of individuals :;
but If a deliberate murder were to be al
lowed to remain unpunShcd, we must
not be surprised or startled to see ncwSpa-
per items announcing the murder of 4
family of seven persons and the like.
You will have noticed the number and
extent OF the rcvivals of religion through
out the country, more particularly i'll New
England. and ii seems a fitting and wei
come visitation after Il long and bloody
war. Many Of the churches in this city
have been laborin@ faithfully in the re-
ncwal and examination OF their own hopes
and position: and the records of the
churches in YOUR own beautiful village.
