‘one of the advuers of the Legislative Maine Law Commit- ‘tee, 1 thought I might as well come on to Boston, just to ‘ave how the temperance cause is getting along in this quarter. I think I never ‘abored more earnestly with another for the advancement of a good objett than I did with the ‘Lieutenant Governor to get through what is termed » « prohibiting law,”’ as distinguished from the probibi- tory law, The way he pleaded for the exemption of his bottle of champagne from the clutches of the law, and the way I pleaded fer the circumcision of the thing, or the cutting adrift of its search and seizure antenne, was certainly far from being ‘‘ slow,” if fluency and ra- Pidity of utterance mean any thing. But we could not earry our point. The definite article prohibitionists were altogetber too many for the indefinite article ditto; se we contented ourselves with endeavering to make the bill as incongruous and inconsistent with itself as we poasi- biy could, and to let it take its chance at that. I think, from the legal opinions of Mayer Wood’s advisers, that we succeeded passably well. At least the law appears te be neither one thing or anotber—avither a law mor ‘the law—but a much more indefinite article than any to be found in either Lindley Murray or the Law Diction- ary. In all this I claim to be consistent. From the time of my first lecture in Western New York, down to my labors at Albany, I have always been accounted a good tempe- tance map, or till these latter-day saints turned up and atarted a locomotive ia opposition to our safer and more popular tandem teams. I told Dr. Tyng ad brother Chapin, in the very last conversation I had with them, that if they were determined to crowd us off the high read, when we were all travelling the same way, they must look out for the consequences, as there would cer- tainly be more broken limbs in their fast train, than inour Old line of coaches. ‘You will find,”’ said I, ‘‘that your new law isa perfect ram sieve, and instead of being made tight against liquor, will more likely make every body tight with liquor. For my part, I go for letting the water on gradually, and not all at once in a perfect flood.”? “ You must bear in mind, my friend,” said the doctor, ‘that this law 1s not meant for every body. It doean’t affect us at all. We, of the better classer, can always have liquor enough, and keep our cellars well atocked. Bless your soul! we care nothing about the law, as prohibiting us any thing. It is not the up- per, but the lower ten that we reach—the poorer class, whe have no right to spend their money for grog or lager beer. But I am free to confess, Mr Starkweather, that the law we’ve got is not the thicg we bargained for, and I fraid it is going to give the populace quite as many privile; the aristocracy. Itit were not slight- ly profane to say it, I should say there has been soms <demnition’ treachery somewhere, What, between ‘teying to get one kind of prohibition, and another kind, we are pretty well out to sea—full half over most of us are likely to be. But I’m told they’ve got the ge- maine article in Massachusetts. They took hold of the ‘work at the right end, or as brother Chapin happily ex presses it, they earnestly put their hands to the work, while we appear quite as earnestly to hare put our feet im it.” But to return to our mutton. I brought to this olty several letters of introduction, determined to ascer- ‘tain if possible whether they have the definite or inde- finite article of prohibition here—the genuine article, with the Neal Dow brand, or an imitation. I find the ‘aw does cot commence operations wll the 20th. Its friends say it will work Hike @ barrel of new ‘beer. Go- vernor Gardner signed it very cordially, it is said, though gome will bave it that it was done under a mental protest. Atall events, he signed it; aad ia honor of that act, » very handsome bronze medal ia being Prepared by the State Temperance Convention. It is about the size of a silver dollar, ani isdone in the best style of art. On one side isa fine likeness of His Ex- eellency, above which, alovg the rim, are the words— “1A Tetotaller of fourtern years standing,” and along the lower edge—' Hold fast to that which is good.” On the reverse side is an inverted decanter, and also a champagne bottle, bottom upwards, with » broken cork- serew alongside, This, designed to be symoolis of the upsetting of all liquor drinting, forcibly reminds oze of the relics and latter end of » regular symporium —such as the legislators and executive branches occasionally aad at Albany, and such, as I have been told, have been faehionable with the corresponding branches hi dur tog the winter. Under these symbols ta a fac simile of theGovernor’s autozraph, and above them the aot re markably classic wor!s—‘He’s one of ’em;’’ that is, sig- nifying that he fs one of the band who are pledged to the decanting of all decanters and liquor bottles of every sort. Lem rather perticular in deeeribing the elezant medal, because I think the design is not unworthy of the attention of the New York State Temperance Committee, I may say bere that Governor Gardner's law for Boston, as compared with that of our Governor Clark for New Yor’, is really an abomination.

The friar solemnly assured his guest that be lived on nothing but dried peas and spring water—that he was obliged to moriify the flesh, an was a poor halt starved monk. The king, as you may remember, seemed to doubt this, and finally made the jolly friar bring out from their concealment sundry Hogons of the choicest wive and a dish of venison sty.

One of our aldermen, too, Col. C., who damned the military for coming out in the Burns case, bas volunteered to back the Mayor with his whole regiment in enforcing the law. He is a terrible fellow, and will keep h's word.” ‘The Rev. Mr. M.,a clegyman of the Universalist deno- mination, happened to come ia, and in the course of conversation asked my opinion of the jary vent ap- penced to the machine on thetable. I told him I thought it was calculated to draw off 5 the stringency of the law, max.ng it rather an indefinte article. “ Nonsense,’’ said hs, *‘it will do no such thing.

But I have no fear that we ehall mot successfully enforce both the liquor law and the lew nullifying the fugitive slave act. 1 men‘ ioned Dr. B.'s fears on the subject. “ab,”’ said Mr. M.; ‘the Doctor is an able and zeal- ous temperance man—though slightly antiq in some of bis notions—but these orthocex preachers are some. thing of a stumbling block to the cause.

The liquer dealers who were examined before Judge Culver, of the City Court, last Tuesday, on the charge selling liquor contrary to law, name Ezekiel Batdwia, ‘ick Mooney and Patrick Crean, appeared before the e Judge on Saturday last, pursuant to afjoarameat. No further evidence was offered, and the court direated that the cefencants should find bail in $500 each. This they declined to do by advice of counsel, who, itis un- derstood, intend to question the legality of a commit- ment by anaction against the city. The Judge said he had no time to make out the necessary papers, and con- sequently deferred Saar try, eee ‘and allowed them to go at large until this (Monday) morning, at 10 o’cleek. On the same day five liquor deslers, with one excep- tion from the extreme eastern portion of the city, were on trial before Justice Blaichly, on the charge of violat- ing the Sunday ordiaance on the 22d of Apri last. The evidence failed completely in three cases. One boardin; house keeper (rom Greenpoint was convisted, and judg- ment was jiven for the city in the anount of $100, f the defendents, was called upon d asked the question:—Did you sell any liquor, or anything else, on Sunday, the 2241? ‘The defendant declined to answer, on the ground that he might criminate himeelf. ‘The Corporation Attorney contended that this was a civil suit, and cite from an opinion of Judge Strong, whereia ho breach of this ition of the city ordinance is crime nor amiscemearor.’’ The court ruled the ques- tion admisrable,and committed the witness for contempt. A writ of habeas corpus was immediately issued, and Quigley was brought before Judge Moore, but there not having been any bond or ie ecto of fees tendered, he was remanded back. There are about twenty more cases for violation of the Sunday ordinunse yet to be disposed of. THE PROHIBITORY LAW AND THE LICENSE SYSTEM IN BOCHESTER, BIO.

Judgs Sekien very proper)y refused to enter upon the merits of the case upon a motion of this character. The granting of a habeas corpus, the issuing of an injanction or a man- damus, are measures requiring emcee of action, and courts abstain, ac far ae possible, from making them the o:casions of opinions on abstract questions of law. ‘The Judge remanded the prisoner to the gustody of the Sherif.

Hunter and the Higher Law, New York, May 19, 1855. Democrats cy VirGinta:— You expect men of the North to be faithful to the constitution and Jaws of the United States, and yet one of your most favored sons, Senator Hanter, inflicts upon us from the Virginia stump a doctrine that shakes alt Jaw to its deepest foundation. “ All Christian churches and iadividuala,”’ says Mr Hunter at Petersburg, “believe that the allegiauce which they owe to God is h’gher than any obligations to man, and that ina conflict bstweem human and divine laws, you must serve God rather than man. It these words, deliberately spoken by a United States Senator to the public, mean anything. they mosn that the constitution and laws of the United States may, without infringement of representative or citizen duties, be at any time resiated, as hostile to the laws of God: and that sny man may Habéfally, under the influence o “Protestant” picty, cr “Catholic” piety, or Mormon pie- ty, oppose them, on the priaciple ‘' That the allegiance which be believes he owes to God is higher than any obligation to man.”’ This is a dark and threatening creed, more especially to be put forth #t a period un. equalled in incendiary end dissolute zeal by any former — our pational history. bat docs Mr, HunteMmean by ‘obligation to man,” as distinet from “ allegiance to God,” in this coan'ry of republican and democratic organization? The iastitu- tions handed down to us by the men of the Kevolation are, according to the theory of this wise man of the South, susceptible of the imputations of immorality and irceligion. Such an audacious and sacrilegious attack upon the constitution and laws of the United States was, T am sure, never vefore made by a 2outhern represents- tive. Senator Hunter speaks to the ¢xisting state of things, and, by his own moral code, takes the oath to supp: rt the constitution of the United States with a men- talreservation. And bow are we toknow whether the case of conscience be defends has not already eccurred to him, or at what m>ment—at what pane crisis—hjs coa- scientious convictions may not m his oath, knd be- tray the interests that he bas been ited to support? Mr. Hunter gives up the whole question of tke citizen’s Guty to the wildest fanaticism, wren he thus declares that civil obedience is not « religious obligation. There ig in all questions of submission to the law of the land a bourcless ecope fcr individaal judgment and distent; and in sll such cases, if your sense of obligation to man does not grow out of your sense of obifyat‘on to God, what binos you to acquiescence but force and fear? A man may, with the , be revo lutionist, to overthrow an oppressive government; but whevever a republican Sateen has determined to be an outlew, bid defiance to the government of which he & part, he should at least surrender bie trust. He may then, if his rel'gious sentiments impel him, become an exile, slag ors martyr. He will evinced sincerity. But representa- tive who takes his oath to sustain the constitution of the }, hoicing the peculiar opinions of Mr. Hun- ter, pepetrates @ sraud upon his consiituents.

The fulfilment of moral obligation the teat of true religion, by the word of Christ acd his Apostles. The contrary doctrine is disorganizing to the purest government that can be devised by man, and fa- ta! to the higbest sense of human responsibility. Mr. Hunter is trained to the study of words. Thatis his protession. He does not, theretore, igueraatiy use these potent weapons of good and evil. epessh in closet procuction, not the careless, unconsidered language of the dianer table. It is proper that the rperches of a scholar holding his postion should be clerely serutiviced. ‘The yaler value to be attached to ration cf Mr. Hunter, however, should be mea- senatcrial su mey to administra- he ridicules and denounces outside of the ber and the White Houce.

Protests and petitions are daily being received by the President from citizens of Kansas end Missouri, relstive to the late outrages perpetrated by Governor Reeder upon the people of Kansas, in aud since the election. The evidences are given, clearly & premeditated determination om the part of Governor Reeder to make the clection reault favorable to free noilism. To effect this object, it is stated taat the Governor had the Territory canvassed; and finding that its sentiment was strongly im favor of slavery, he had the election deferred for nearly four months from the time that it should bave taken place, and in the mean- time the abolitionists ia Massachusetts, Peansylvania and other anti-slavery States were apprisei of the fact, and urged to forward, witaout delay, both men and money. A letter from Reeder, writ- ten shortly after he had ascertained the wishea of the people of Kansas to be in favor of slavery, to a prominent politician of Missouri, bas found its way to this city, and which fully confirms all that the peti- tioners have charged upon the Governor. They allege that before he bad left for Kansas » company had se- cretly been formed of men residing in Pennsylva- nia end in this city for the purchase of lands in Kansas, and of which the Governor was to be the head. It 18 further stated, that to make the suc- cess of this enterprise more certaia, Kansas should be made a free State, and that the Governor should lend his influence to bring about so necessary a change. Hence it was that upon the Governor's arrival at Kansas, he set about purchasing largely lands which were likely to prove profitable, but upon fading that bis movements were regarded with suspicion, a conficential sgent was employed, and the purchases con: tinued up to the time of tue Goveraor’s late departure for Wasbipgtom. 1 am assured that a gentleman inte- rested im the Wasbington Union is not only a member of thie company of Kansas epecalators, but that the idea of making it f.ce State—wholly on pecuniary grounds —bad its origin in that person, This explains tiie ca axe of the eupport of Reeder given by the Union, and its con- gratulatiors that the South is to be cheated out of influ ence and power in both of the new territories. Whi'st these petitions from Kansas and Missouri urge, with — yensentes power, the mooie for hag pe ie rawal, counter re pouring im upon the President from many of the acolition States, recommonding that Governor Reeder stall be sustained dy force, it neces- sary, and that the President shall so direct 1 ¢az ata! to you, With a certainty, that this aubdject has become the most embarrassing one that this administration has yet had befcre it, and its difficulties are plainly on the increase, as is shown by the eaxiety of the President to consult with every promment Southerner who may arrive in this city. Mr. Wize has almost daily interviews with the President upon this eudject, and on tho ground of rafety t» the ice of the country, the removal of Resder is urgei. he entire south joins in this recommendationyand it it is not attended to, it may not be difficult to anticipate some of the consequences that will be likely to grow out of Keeder’s return to . On Tuesday last letters were received at the Navy Department from Com. McCaaley, lars of his crusings and diplomacy during the last three or four months. it would sepm that General Concha had expressed regrets at the dis- turbance cf our vessela by Spanish cruisers, and fer that the like should not occur again. un- less there were strong reasons for hig Nhe the honest intentions of the vessel, and with this assarance the Commocere expressed his satisfaction. ae Seneral also promised that for the oatrage committed oa our consular agent, Mr. Thompeon, the officer commitzing it, sbould be dismissed, and that Mr. Thompson should be allowed to return to his cfficial and be compensated for the injuries ke tad su: . With the settlomsnt of our Cuban cifficulties, the Commodore left the ieland; but scarcely had be got without speahing distance from the shore, when Conshs made it known that he was in receipt ot fresh informetion that ‘would change bis opinions in the Toompsea affair. Tne next day the officer committing the outrage was re-in- stated in his former command with addit‘onal honors from Concha, and our Consul refased redress. This in- formation alco arrived here last Tueeday, and, as { un- derstand, came through our Consul, la it too much to ask of our government what has our mavy diplomat gained beyont the receipt of a dinner, and drive in his recent visit to Cuba?

Ia the Ouba Filibuster Expedition Abandoned ? Rumors are rife here, and well founded too, that this two faced administration is countenancing ‘and under. handedly abetting the piratical Cuban expedition. The publication of the resignation of Quitman and the other Officers, was @ ruse to lull the ipicions of the Spanish authorl des, and of such of cur own functionaries whose duty if is to aid in the execution of our neutrality lawa, and who, not knowing the real intentions of the Cadi: net, would honestly perform their duty. The most trusted of our officers, however, know what to wink at. ‘The Gra; having now returned, will be ready to seil on this piratical undertaking by the 19th; so says the rumor. This expedition is not intended to give liberty to the white inhabitants of Cubs, but to rob them of their pos- setsions, and either kill them or drive them from the island; and it ia attempted to be justified by the his‘ori- cal fact, that the ancestors of the ~'f inhebitants completely exterminated the sboriginala whom they found there.

Hard Times in Arkansas. [From the Little Rock Gaz:tte, April 27 ] The ‘hard times,” of which we have heard and read so much, are now upon us, and mo mistake. In our life we bave never before lived in a community, any part of which was threatened with want. What is now knock ing ut the doors of our citizens, in almost part of the State? Not poverty, or want of money, for we do not know of a single beggar, or one who is not able to pay for what needs, but actual want of the every-day necessaries of life, which tapnot be had, for any price, because they are not in the country. ‘There is rot, in Little Rock, a barrel of flour, a bushel of meal, or a pound of coffee ‘or sugar for Fi 3° pron the greatest scarcity of every article o! sion or fam ly groceri We do not know what our people will Co, Perhaps some of our merchants, or some- else, may fit up wag and haul supplies from White Kiver, We know of no other chance to live.
