A temperance party Is about being formed
In this State Previous 70 the last municipal
election In baltimore city temperance or
ganization was formed, a temperance city tick.
& pus h the field, and though not successful,
presented elements Of power. Encouraged
BY the numbers drawn to their support, the
Temperance men, amongst whom are some Of
the best citizens Of Baltimore, have determin-
ed 70 organize q temperance party throughout
the State and TO pnt in the field strictly tenn
perance candidates next Gall for the State Lee
gislatuFe and for county Offices. The chair.
man Of the State Committee has been in cor.
respondence with many Of the leading tempe
rance men in nearly ell the counties Of the
State, and from the encouragement received
from all quarters, there is prospect Of an ac-
tive and earnest campaign, in some Of the
counties, and in part Of Baltimore city. A
proposition is also on foot TO call State Tenn
persnce Convention in a short time, to ar
range definitely for an active campaign next
falL-AmericaR UHiOa, Denton, Nd.
Temperance is good thing. In It's
true and proper aeceptation ii is one of the
christian graces, and most beautiful trait
Of human character. We are commanded
to be temperate in "all things" But some
men are Incorporate, even in their tempe
rance, or rather, in their zeal for temper
ance, which runs into excess OF this class
are they who attempt to organize political
parties on so-called temperance basis
The experiment was tried, in this State,
some years ago, and resulted in a failure,
as well as in great detriment to the tenn
perance cause. Previous to that time, So
cieties had been organized all over the
State, their meetings were frequent and
open to all who saw proper to attend them.
The subject was freely discussed by able
advocates, who appealed to the reason of
men, and went far to form an enlightened
public opinion upon this subject, which
was steadily banishing from society the use
Of alcoholic stimulants as a beverage. If
this policy had been continued until the
present time, there is no telling what pro-
gresu the cause would have made, or what
good would have been accomplished by it.
But the indiscreet and incorporate tempe
rance men turned the temperance cause
into aparty organization; it was overwhelm-
ed with disaster and fell into contempt as
a cloak for handful Of agitatOrs and poll
teal demagogues, from which it has moi
recovered to this day. OF the temperance
cause may truly be said-"The neal of my
house hath eaten me mp" But just al
there are come signs Of renewal Of Thu
great reform movement, ii is again to b,
destroyed in the house of its friends. Zea
properly regulated, in good cause, is 1
good thing; but zeal without knowledge
has worked incalculable mischief in al
ages Of the world, and the temperance mer
Of Maryland viii give a fresh illustration
Of it, if they again drag the Temperance,
cause into the arena of party.

England vs.. Ireland.

The Froade and Burke controversy,
growing cut Of the lectures of the Rrst-
named gentleman on the relations between
England and ireland, has led TO SO much
feeling upon the subject, that Mr., Froude
has very properly concluded to drop the
subject in his future lectures in this coun-
try. Mr.. FEoude has found an oyermatch
for him in Father Burke, who has success
fully refhted his arguments and oyerthrown
his historical facts, or rather, what he as
sumed to be historical facts. British his
tory does not accord with contemporary his.
tory in relation to ireland, and is unreiia-
bic. The fact is, England is in the wrong
in her policy towards the down-trodden
people Of Ireland. Mr. Froude, and the
British people generally, may learn, that
the public sentiment not only Of America
but a the civilized world, is opposed to
the policy Of the British Government to-
wards ireland. That policy is, to-day,
the foulest blot upon her escutcheon. As
an enlightened, proud, magnanimous and
christian nation, her true policy is to let
Ireland 60 free. She has no right to op.
press the Irish people. Her conquest of
Ireland, and her rule ever since, over that
oppressed and unhappy people, has had no
other or better justification than such as
may be found in brute force. If brute
force may be pleaded as justification for
oppression, that justification the British
nation has, but no other The Judgment
Of mankind is against her, and IL she
would relieve herself from the odium
which attaches to her on account Of her
policy towards ireland, let her set Ireland
free. The false pretenee that ireland is
incapable Of self-gUyernment is too shallow
to deceive anyone and if ii really were
true, who made England her keeper
British statesmen have boosted, and her
poets have sung, that no slave could
breathe on English ground but she has
enslaved whole nation, and cry of an
guish goes up to Heaven against her, from
Erin's isle. England, We know, is wrapped
up in her own seif-sufhciency, il not in her
own self-rigbteousness; but, if she could
see herself as others see her, in relation to
her course towards Ireland, we are per
suaded that ii would not be long before
she would relax her grasp upon Ireland,
and that people become free and indie
pendent nation.

MORE SLooPs OF WAR.-It is propos-
ed in Congress to build six new sloops of
war, three Of the number by private CON
Tract. The navy we now have is compar-
atively worthless, many of the vessels be-
ing uBseawOrthy, and those in commission
serving a very little better purpose than
pleasure-yaehts for our tars, at an expense
of millions to the public treasury. The
vessels built during the late sectional con.
test, are nearly all worthless. They were
'jobs, by which government favorites put
money in their purses. Some of them
could scarcely float when completed, but
enriched their contractors. In the build
ing Of the six new vessels, no doubt there
will be more fat pickings for somebody.
Our naval and commercial marine are both
at very low sbb, and must remain so,
until common sense teaches our law-givers
to modify the present rainoas tariff and TO
reform our currency. An annual Eve
million subsidy to encourage commerce, as
proposed by the President, will not i'm.
prove the situation Of things much, and is
only to be regarded as a piece of arrant
political bungliag.
