PROTECT THE HELPLESA

To protect the weak against the oppres-
sion of the strong, has been considered by
brave men in all ages, as a duty in the per-
formance of which they took especial
pride. BY an irresistible impulse of our
better nature, we feel our sympathies 60
ing out to the nation or individual that is
making a fruitless effort to rid itself of
bondage, of whatever kind, imposed by the
hand of despotic power. And, did We al
ways follow the dictates of that better ma
ture. we would be found fighting on the side
of the down-trodden and oppressed, whcth-
er it be a nation striving against one more
powerful, or al" individual struggling with
q tyranny of a domestic character. A few
years ago and slavery existed in this land.
1t was abolished after a four years of war
and all parties are now eager to acknowl-
edge that it was a curse not only to the
slave, but to the stakeholder, and all re-
joice that it is swept away forever. But
having accomplished this, We now have
time to consider another form of slavery
more degrading, moro tyranical than Afri-
can slavery itself. because more general per-
vadlng as it does, all classes, whether high
or low, rich or poor alike. We refer to the
slavery of intemperance-a system that
has its victims in every city, in every ham,
let, in every neighbOrhood and in nearly
every family in the land. A system of
slavery that has caused more sorrow, more
sin, NOSE violence and bloodshed, more
crime of every description than all other
vices put together. We say its effects are
more general thar that of any other vice,
because it not only engendcrs many others,
bat embraces among its victims not only
the inebriate himself, but the innocent
wife and children who are dependent upon
him for subsistence and protection. For
this reason. if for no other, it should COM
mand the attention of the brave and chiv-
airous of all parties. We have had abun-
Liant Legislation for the punishment of
crime. The most severe penalties have
been inflicted with a hope of lettering
others from committing like offences, but
all to no purpose. The P~enitentiary is
filed to o~yerfowing with ~convicts, and the
jails in every county are crowded with
others awaiting trial. a certain per cent of
whom will be convicted and sent on to
undergo the punishment prescribed by
law for their respective offences. Every
intelligent man in the country will ac-
knowledge that a large proportion of the
crimes committed by these men was the
direct result Of intemperance. And yet
there is no Legislation undertaken to pre-

Letter from Nashville.
NASHVILLE, Nov. IA, 1871

NASHVILLE. Nov. IA, 1870.
Messrs. Editors: I was right glad to
notice recently. IN the papers of the West,
credit given you as the most respectable
and heightened Republican paper of the
State steering clear Of vindietive and per-
sonal yituperation, while striving to ele-
vate the standard of morals, and right
reason in society. Had we had, for the
past fifty years, such papers. instead OF
those catering to morbid tastes, and swerv-
ed by passion alone. fewer people would
be found unable to read and write in East
Tennessee, and more social amity prevail.
From the cauldron of LIES turmoil, one
like myself, is fond, now and again. OF
drawing the head in, like a tarrapin, and
rejecting on the inner world, as it were,
isolated like Demosthenes in his cave, and
containing with the thoughts slowed away
by close observation.
Greater opportunities would be agreea-
bly, presented, however, were We Ameri-
cans more like the Chinese of California,
who gather their grub of s@nails, tad-poles,
minnows. ETC., as they perform their daily
toll, and cook it in little portable stoves
carried on the back like kDapsacks, which
would not only save time in going to din
ner, and the enormous expense of provis-
ions, but would answer an excellent pur-
pose to keep the back and fingers warm
in frosty weather, through the heat pro-
duced by a little spirit lamp. Qui bonus
nons We eat with gusto, the North Amer
lean Monkeys (Squirrels), 'possoms,
Schrimps, and live oysters, us we'll as the
dirty hog that was disgusting to all ancient
civilization. OF ali the nations of the
earth, ours is, perhaps, the least economi-
cal in the details of home affairs, and no
country where our time is so much occu-
pied with the toll to waste, and bathing
the mind in the ISLANDERS of demagogues
and theorists, until it becomes fit for no.
thing but isms and social anarchy, upon
which the political cormorant rests his
efforts for power and influence. See him
with his Shiny tongue cozcning or whip
ping in the poor man for votes and then
squandering the proceeds of vast domain
for public schools, as well as the enormou
taxes levied under the same plausible pre-
text, without returning scarcely an toto of
remuneration as promised, or perhaps, an
ignoramus is sent to your Legislative halls
to become th1 tool, and to be outreached
by more designing men. Would not a
general education counteract these tenden-

vent its spread. No law passed to even
limit the sale of Intoxicating liquors.
The helpless and dependent women and
children of the country are as completely
at the mercy of the dram-seller as if they
belonged to him, body and soul. They
have no remedy at law for injuries infict-
ed or privations suffered in consequence of
this indiscriminate sale of intoxicating
liquors. The wife has no power to pre-
vent the sale of this soul destroying bev-
erage to her drunken husband, but entire
ly powerless, she is compelled to acoompa-
ny him down the scale of social degrada-
ton, partake of his poverty, and share the
disgrace of crimes committed while IL a
state of intoxication bordering upon mad
ness, and which she has no power to pre-
vent. We ask in all candor is it not high
time we had some legislation upon this
subject ? Habitual drankcnness is a dis
ease. The habitusl drunkard is, to a GER
tain extent insane, and his family should
have the power by law, to assume q guar
dianship ever his movements just as they
would had he been afflicted with any other
form of mania that rendered him incapa-
bic of controlling his 4fairs to the best
interest Of himself and family. They
should have the poser to prevent the sale
of intoxicating liquors to him, and the
man who does SO after being warned IN ac-
cordance with law, should be held respon-
sible for that act. and made TO suffer with
his victim for every crime committed in
consequence of it. We shall have more
to say on this subject in the future.

she called her children by precept anc eA-
ample to wisdom's paths and often exhort-
ed them to shun evil. 1t is to be hoped
they will drink in her words OF advice and
counsel, and the wholctrain of her virtues,
of which so many clustered around her
home. Her care for her children was very
uncommon, for never did a mother take
more pains to train them in the way they
should go. In this respect, all awarded
her the premium. She taught them
to shun play, idleness, amusement, and
parties, and all that long train of evils 50
destructive to good health and sound NOR
ais. Long. yes until LIES latest hour, will
her sweet and only daughter. Victoria, re-
member her many words of kindness and
counsel, and her influence will exert a
wonderful power in the formation of the
future character of her children, especially
the daughter. Ihope they will. in later
life, imbibe the holy breath of a mothers
fervent prayer. God grant protection to
the children.
AS member of society. she was orderly,
peaceable, kind, liberal and social. Her
department was above impeachment, her
peaceable disposition was plainly manifest
in all her dealings, her kindness was unlim-
tied, extended to all alike, for, perhaps.
none ever applied to her for a favor. if in
her power, that she did not bcstow. 1t
was bestowed upon all alike, as freely upon
the poor as upon the rich. She gave hb-
orally, to the poor and needy. and made
herself useful in many ways. For these
reasons and many others, the writer thinks
society has lost u useful mensbcr, Loudon
IN particular, her brightest ornament, the
church a strong pillar. | know the hus-
band has lost u good wife, and the children
an affectionate mother, but Heaven has
gained another soul, another star to bedeck
the radiant crown of King Jesus.
