sg The people of New Hamp-
shire have just rejected at q spe-
cial election, the prohibitory liq-
uor law as proposed by the Tenn
perance Alliance for that State.
Prohibition, as principle, has
now been decisivly voted down in
several States, and fairly left to
the popular voice it will always be
rejected by an intelligent commu-
nifty. No more expeditions mode
of manufacturing drunkards was
ever devised than that of "inter-
dieting" the use of intoxicating
beverages. The Introduction al
ways operates as a "Do-it-ifyou.
dare" sort of taunt which prompts
thousands of people to drink in a
mere spirit of bravado. Place
whiskey where they can readily
get it, and there are crowds of
human beings who will treat it
with contemptuOus indifference.
Tell this same crowd that they
shall not drink it, and their aPpe-
tite for the thing becomes ungov-
ernable and Unsuitable.

A Sickening Exhibition.

One of the most atrocious MUIR
ders on record is that committed
by q drunken scoundrel named
Pike, who was hung on Tuesday
of last week, in New Hampshire.
There were no palliating circum-
stances connected with the deed.
lie stole upon a worthy, helpless
old couple and butchered them
with an axe, the indueement be-
ing few hundred dollars of
their savings. After securing
his plumber he went on q drunk
en- spree Since his arrest he has
shown no contrition, but professed
a great deal of piety, and after a
good nights rest, and a hearty
meal, met his death with stolid
composure. Yet, during his con-
finementin Jail, be has been treat
ed like blessed martyr. A Sc
lect quartette of young ladies has
daily sung to him, and be has
been overwhelmed with so much
consideration that his miserable,
brutal mind, if capable of any par
ticular emotion, must have been
10 continual transport of aston
ishment. His literary abilities
have been stimulated by the leis-
ure and solicitude he has enjoyed.
lie prepared confession, or some
body prepared it for him, which
is a compound of Discrimination
and hypocrisy, and he also sent a
maudlin letter to the son of the
man he murdered, asking forgiv-
ness. 1t is gratifying to learn
that to the latter 'Eno answer was
returned" which must have las
Grated his tender feelings in spite
of the musical consultations of the
quartette, who never tagged in
their hymns in his cell up to the
last day. The sickening atten-
tions shown to this hideous ruffian
would be ridiculous if. they were
not fraught with SO much ill to the
morals of society. To be affec'
tionately cared for and consolidated,
it would seem only necessary to
slaughter human beings like sc
many bullocks; and as a reward
step from the gallows tree to Sc
raphic and eternal joys.

In answer to many verbal solicit
tations to become a candidate for
delegate from this county in the
Convention to revise and amend
the constitution of Tennessee, in
all sincerity l would say that it is
a position and an honor not to be
sought nor declined. 1t is posi-
ton cf trust and responsibility,
second to none in the gift of a free
people: II it is the will and wish
Of the people of Lincoln county
that / shall serve them in that ca
pacity, and will SO indicate on the
3rd Saturday in December next,
the 18th day of the month, the
time designated by the law for the
election, | will accept the trust
with its responsibilities, with an
honest purpose and firm determin-
alton to discharge the duties it will
impose upon me, faithfully and to
the best of my ability. In the
meantime should you indicate
your preference for another to rep
resent you in that body, in any
mode or by any means you may
adopt, | will retire and cordially
unite with you in the election of
the man of your choice.
The act of the Legislature pro-
vides, that an election shall be
held at all the places for holding
elections in the respective counties
of the State. at which every male
citizen who has resided in the coun,
ty in which he may offer to vote,
six months next preceding the day
iof election, shall have the right
to vote for CONVENTION or Nc
CONVENTION, at the same time
and on the same ticket, to vote fol
one delegate for Lincoln county.
and one delegate jointly for the
counties of Lincoln, Giles and Mar
shall. If a majority of ali the
votes given in the State shall vote
for CONVENTION, the law provides
that the delegates elected en- tina
day shall assemble in Nashville
to revise and amend the constitu
ton, on the second Monday il
January next.
The law also provides:
I "That the constitution or form
of government which said Conven
ton may adopt, shall not be Of
any binding force or efficacy unit
the same has been submitted Il
and ratified by the people of th'
State, in such manner and at sucl
thine as the Convention shall pro
vide"
The whole subject is in tb'
hands OF the people. 1t is thei
work. 1t is for them to decide
whether there shall be a Conven
ton or not. The duty of select
ing and electing delegates is ais
for them to determine, and finally
they will have to ratify or rejec
what the Convention may do
Whatever they do in relation t,
these important matters will b
cheerfully acquiesced in by me.
