TEMPERANCE.

A healthy development of the temper
ance cause is taking place over the country,
in the agitation of laws for the suppression
of drunkenness. We have already some
experiments in this way, which seem to us
in the line of q better policy. There Will
never be any effectual legislation against
drunkenness, in our opinion, until it is
recognized and treated as crime. II as a
crime for aman to uuseat his reason, and
place himself in a condition where all the
bad passions and perverted forces OF his
nature are left uncontrolled. We have, at
best, a constant struggle with tendencies
that prompt to wrong and injure others.
Reason, conscience, religion, self-respect,
are called in constant requisition to enable
us to respect the rights, interests, and feel
ings of others. Drunkenness smothers
and silenccs all these, and leaves the evil
brood of selfish passions within us uncon-
trolled.
All experience shows. that this is a dam
gerous condition. The great bulk of vio-
lent crimes are committed by men de-
bauched by habitual drinking, or rendered
insane by drink at the time of committing
the act. We hope our temperance friends
/ will make united effort to secure such
legislation as will make drunkenness higf
crime, and the sale Of liquor to an habltua
drunkard an offence of equal grade. Also
making all parties selling liquor, response
BILE for damages, resulting from such sale
to families of drunkards or to others. We arr
convinced that these positions are tenable
and that they will unite in their support
the great body of intelligent citizens of al
parties. We have no faith in any temper
ance legislation which does not hold eac
man responsible for his excesses, and 70
his psecise agency in producing that danger
GUS, though temporary insanity which W
call drunkenness. YHf

Agriculture Not u Fraud.

To the Editor Of the State Journal
NV attention being called to the article
in the WEEKLY JOURNAL. of the 9TH in
stant, entitled r" "4gricah,re a Fraud," l
am constrained to take the opposite side OF
the question, for the sake of little argll-
ment, and also hoping that it may possibly
counteract any bad impression that might
be created in the minds of some persons
who are desirous Of engaging in that truly
laudable enterprise. .ae ,
will say first that agriculture IS NOT a
| fraud-for is it not the very foundation,
the basis of all the Industries everywhere? !?
What is it that supports and gives s,ls-
tenance to all the cities, towns, mlanufac-
tories, railroads, &C., and stimulates
directly or indirectly all manner of busi-
ness interests, but agriculture ? Thai
j is oren truth that cannot be gamsayed.
Agriculture, like every other pursuit, re-
ouires long practice and skillful manage
ment to be successful; it will most as
snredly prove an ign,ts fdttiis to any one
who flatters himself that he can make q
fortune at it in few years, without learn
ma The trade. az s1s .
4 fThc writer referred to, says, 'sShe ha'
promised me early potatoes, and the rail-
has drowned them late potatoes, and tn
p drought has withered them." When h
has discovered that understanding and deel
. tillage will prevent, to a very great extent
!. both of the calamities referred to, then h
will have acquired some KNOWLEDGE of tn
business, and in regard to the products tina

If he wishes to raise Strawberries, toma

Emaneipasion Of the slaves in Brazil.

The Empire of Brazil has now project
on foot for the emancipation OF its slaves.
The measure was recommended In the
speech from the throne on the Sd OF May,
and is backed by all the influence OF the
government. Still, so much OF personal IN
terests is concerned in opposing the carry
ing out of the measure, that 1t will doubt
less receive very great opposition, if, in
deed. It pass the Legislature at all at pres
ent. The mistake made by emancipators
Is in not compensating those who are de-
nriyed of what the law previously allowed
them to acquire as property. II Brazil Is
sincere and honest in her present endeayors
she should lay on a general tax for the ben
eft of the Shareholders, the proceeds to DC
paid them in proportion to their losses by

According to the scheme of emancpa

the slaves Of the monastic orders must b

ORGANIZE

uOrpaniza tion-constructio in which the
parts are so disposed as mutually to assist
and to cooperate with, and be- ,subservient |
to each othcr." "e'@H'
Thus was organization defined more than
a century ago; and at this time, when the
Democratic and Republican parties are both
urged to take immediate steps towards
thorough party organization, it is well to
keep the above definition in view; and as
Republicans, so organize that the parts are
disposed not only mutually to assist and
cooperate with, but to be subservient to
each other. Such an organization is not
only superior in effectiveness, but is essen
ially republican in character. Itrests with
our party managers whether we are to be
invited to such effective organization or that
of a non-efective character promising as
sistance and cooperation, provided there =
absolute subserviency on the one side and
absolute dictation on the other. zA'i
Such an organization is always preferred
when individuals seek to use party, me-
stead of devoting themselves to the party
cause OF when few desire TO override
the many, and put the bit-organizatlon-
in their mouths to compel them to obey the
behests of the individual, or the few who
assume control. This latter organization
is perhaps the only effective system for

CONSERVATIVE REORGANIZATION. 9
Tn an article on the Southern Democracy

What they mean, therefore, by reorganizauon

proclaim themselves as belonging TO the NationnI

The embarrassing feature of the New
Departure" here, as in some other places
of the South, is, that it requires certain
class of narrow-minded and bigoted men
te give up their little stock of political
catch-words and claptrap, which brought
them much profitable custom. Like the
craftsmen, who cried out against Paul,
when Diana, of the Ephesians, was dis.
honored by preaching the simple gospel o'
Christ, they see only loss to themselves,
when the bloody idol of the Democracy is
torn down. But it will be hard indeed,
to carry over the better portion of what is
now known as the Conservative party, to
the camp of the National Democracy.
Whatever political extravagancies and follies
they may commit, there is no denying the
rugged financial integrity and honor o.
these men, and they will be slow to
swallow the thieyeries of Tammany
Hall. To that portion of the Con

curious problem for woman to find out
from mankind what is really expected of
her. Man adores heplessness and says it

pines after his grandmother, who could
make pies, and falls in love with white
hands that can't. He means over weak
ness and ridicules strength. He condemns
fashion theoretically and the lack OF ii
practically. He longs for sensible women
