The Philadelphia Bulletin says; The
next election on the question of Prohibit
tIon will take place in Massachusetts, on
the 22d oi next month. The amendment
TO be submitted to the Le pie is In form
and purpose virtually the same as that
which Is now up iOr discussion in Penn
sylvani,. The ProhibitioAists are waging
an active fight, b ing well supplied with
speakers and with money. BUTT is obvi-
Gus that they haze not made the impress
sion on the public mind that they had
expected. The newspapers OF the Bay
STATE, including several influential rell-
gious publications, have refused to sup
port the amendment. The effect OF the
New Hampshire election has also been
discouraging to Its advocates. They now
intend, In the next four weeks, however
to gather up all their forces and make thi
very strongest fight possible. But this In
| dicatlons aie that the general reaction
which is visible in New England agains
extreme measures, is as strong in Massa
chusetts as it is in the other States.

This disposed Of, the main question
came np. Mr.. Downham moved that the
bill be read q third time by paragraphs.
Upon that motion he arose and said IN
part: al have been asked to state my
reason for voting for this bill. do not
think that could influence vote or
change the Views of tile gen lemen who
decline to vote and who expect to refer
the matter back TO the people. II
wanted an argument l would offer the
arguments OF Bayari, Bates and Biggs in
the convention OF 1852
1t seems to me that these arguments
are unanswerable. There are Others who
will follow me who will read them. l
would suppose that those who oppose the
passage OF this b II will undertake to say
that there Is but one mode OF calling d
convention. That mode Is the unexcep-
tionable mode and what Mr.. Bayald de-
clared In 1858 to he the most exceptiona-
BILE mode that could be conceived. The
Legislature OF two years ago went out
side OF this mode. There are other modes
in my opinion, the first being by legisa-
| tive enactment. 1t ia known how i'm
practicable that is. Mr.. Bates in an ad-
dress before the Young Mems Democratic
| Club, OF Wilmington, told how eleven
different amendments had been offered
and only two had ever been passed. These
were unimportant and II took three
efforts TO pass them. hold that under
| the ninth article OF the constitution
| which says that no convention can he
called except by authority Of tue people,
that the people have the right at any
time TO call convention and one Other
than by the mode provided IN that arti-
Gle.
Clayton himself was asked II that wa:

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.

The GAZETTE, chronologically,
is in the NINETIETH year of its ex-
istence, and IS nor only the oldest
paper in the State, but, with few
exceptions, in the country.
Notwithstanding the fitness of
its years, it has kept, and will con-
tinue to keep, abreast of the times
in all that pertains to NEWS paper
furnishing its readers daily with a
perfect mirror Of passing events,
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they increase are taken advan-
tage of and used for the benefit Of
its readers, who are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that is
of interest politically, socially f.
nancially or commercially.
Special attention is given tomat-
ters concerning the State and its
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea-
lures Of peculiar interest, as attest
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to
the best interests Of the city, State
and country, will continue to ad-
vocate what is believed to be right,
just, honest and patriotic.
With a view 10 the interest Of
merchants, farmers and all inter-
ested, its commercial columns are
carefully edited and its market re-
ports are acknowledged by all to
be faithful and accurate.
Through all this section Of the
State, and in all parts Of the coun-
try where Virginians have located,
here will the GAZETTE generally
De found, and thus as an adyertis-
ng medium it has few equals out
tide the large cities.
In the household, counting room
