TEIPEBANGE. Tin: LAW or MAIN}: nun THE LAW

OF GOD.

The Elfects of this Law in its practical developemeiit for several innntlis are Sllcll as a proper regard for the Law of God would produce. If it miiltiplietl the l'iirni.s of human strife and misery, if it swelled the wail ofsorrow through the State, and tillr-d with criminal offences the ciilciidor ofcourts; you if its effects for nod were not ti-ticeriblc upon the growing interests ofthe Common- wealth, we might reasonably doubt its co- incidence with the aw of God. For Christianity, allowed free course through the marts of trade, and circles of human intercourse, would purify, nnil ti-:tii.<i'oi-iii, and elevate on every side. At the touch of its almost magic wand new forms of lil0t‘lll beauty would start to life, and the ti-iglitful spectres of vice flee before its celestial pu- rity. The haunts of bacchunaliari rcvelry would close their doors upon the slaves of appetite, and bid them escape the ncciii-sed bondage. Homes of pentiry and \vi-ctclicd- ness would smile to behold the “ horn of

lanty,‘ and to welcome the angel ofperice,

be dying embers of love in domestic altars would be fanned to ‘ ame, , re- penting prodigal: wottld seen return- in to the sweets of fmrffly —ii-iendsliips.—- Iuslrml Q/'Ilii: I/torn irorild tome up the jir-lmr, and iristrad oflltrt [trier would romv up Ilir m_r/rllr-Ira».

The efl'ects ofthe mainc Law approximate as nearly to this as the &lClIlt.‘\l:lllt‘llIS of known civil statutes eun.

Rent and scattered houitholds have been reunited iii the bonds ofexultant love by the return of their wandering members from the paths of drunkenness. The once wretclit-ii, but now rejoicing wife sees ltcr husband leave the door, at morning, and blesses God that no open drunker will arrest his safe return. The glad father looks hopefully upon his son, because he can walk the streets iuid

crform his business, without a scorn-. of human hyenas prowling along his pntliway. And the minister ofChrist is iii.-pii-oil with new interest and zeal as he beholds men, just reclaimed from their cups. coming to till the vacancies in the temple of God. And all because the fire ofthe last distille- ry in the State has ceased to blaze, and countless dramsliops have closed their rites of woe. Surely upon this scene ofde ight- ful improvements the Most High will bes- tow his benediction ! His beloved Zion will feel the influence of this legal wisdom, and gather new trophies for Christ, the Conqueror! A law which scatters such blessings abroad innst harmonize with His.

Citizens! This Law demands your sup- port against the wiliest foe of human ri hts and happiness. A class of inert whose tive of money is stronger than their love of vir- tue, create three-fourths of all your taxes by their “trade ofdcath," and enrichment- selves by the business. You compluiri of the “ onerous tax” for the support ofpulilic education; and will you be content to pay four times as much to su port the t-umsellcrs of Massachusetts? Wi I you see four hun- dred dollars wasted, and worse than wasted, for strong drink, as otten as one hundred dollars are expended upon education, rind yet not move your tongue against it? Are you willing to cancel the bills for erecting altnlhouses and prisons for vendors of intox- icating drinks to fill at enormous profits to themselves? Will you not rcmonstrute a ainst this unjust taxation? Or will you c eat-fully liquidate the debts which they incur by their property-destroying traffic? You are suffering wrong, in the invasion oi‘

our rights, for which there is found redress tn the provisions of the Maine Law. end your influence to the support of that Liiw,

DR. TROTFER ON THE SAFETY OF IMMEIIIATE ABS'I‘|l\'ENCIt‘.

“It has been it doubt with some physi- cians, wliether, even ifthe patient were wil- ling, it is proper at once to leave ‘oil wine or spirits. The body (say they) being long accustomed to this stimulus cannot be de- prived of it, without sustaining‘ manifest injury. This mode of reasoning is founded on the observation that habit has a powerful influence over many of the actions oftlie animal economy ; it becomes a part. of our_ nature, and smile important operations ol the living system are ontirel governed by ‘ The general iiict being mitted, lt.d0el_ not follow that such long continued stimuli as have a tendency to destroy the functions ofthe body, should not, all at once, be laid ttside.

It is true, that during all these corporeal ail- ments the mind is gradually forming a bad habit; it receives pleasure from the fit-st, but the. body nothing but disease and pain. \Ve daily see in all parts of the world, man who by profligacy and hard drinking, have brought themselves to a jail; yet ifwc con- sult the register of the prison, ii ddeg not appeal-th_ut any oftliese iabitual drnnkards die by being forced to lead sober lives. If at any time an inebririte dies after he has been compelled to temp‘ei-once, his death is not to be attributed tot 0 want of spirituous potzttton, btit to the too long continuance of it, which rendered his disease incurable. The whole of these arguments tend to prove that vinous stimulus may be safely relin- quished at once; the debility of the body, if any exists, is then to be cured by whatever may restore the weakened organs. In most cases nature will effect this, as these organs have only been exhausted by unnatural rneans.”—Dr. TroI!¢r’s Essay on Drunkar- iu.-as.
