It cor- responds to S«- hat, Zech. i. 7, ' the fifth civil, < and eleventh sa- ' crrd month of( the Jews. The| Anglo - Snxons called it Aflera> Oeola, that is j AfterChiistmas. I — Fenelon once' said "if the rich- I es of the Indies, I or the crowns of ( all the kiiij;doms i of Europe, werei laid at my feet in i exchange for my love of reading, , I would spurn, them all." 3.9 I^ffil-tCO&IZ , The U.S. Governnnent with extensive armories of its own, has contracted I with a company in Connecticut Tor the supply of 30,000 pistols, at $6 50 1 I each, amounting to $195,000. The American fiible Society con. jgratulates itself on receiving, the past year, $166,652, the aggregate of air;K> that has been given through the Union for the dissemination of the Word^ I of Life at home and abroad. Christendom expends more in onej I year on the means and instruments ol human slaughter than has been \ given to the promulgation of the Gospel since Jesus Christ died on the cross. « I The mercantile shipping of the civilized world amounts to about 8,000 000 < I tons, which is worth, now and old, $30 per ton, and nets, clear of 'interest, I insurance, &,b., 10 per cent, or $24,000,000 per annum. The appropriation I of the British navy, for tho current year, is $33,630,200 ! ! Is not this a ) sober fact 7 that the annual expense of one nation's navy exceeds the net I profit of all the mercantile shipping owned by the civilized world. r ■ns m2,mnimiw.>'wsMscLmimss.mm!jmi!^m!Jikmk!JLmmm^ 2iid Month.

The inhabitanla of the cities of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Albany, Troy, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo com- biued, would not make, by three or four hundred thousand, another London !

Member I have called tbii morning to convene with you on a subject that is now agitating the country, that is, the prohibition of the liquor traf- fic by Legislative enactnoent. I know you are favorable to prohibition, and being a nnember of the Church of which you are a Minister, I am desirous of asking you whether you think that if Mr. Wesley had been living he would have given bis sanction to the agitation of the question, and would he have signed a petition for the Maine Law. jtfi/it«/«r.— Of course you are aware that Mr. Wesley considered the traffic in spirituous Tquors sinful ant' contrary to the la\/ of love. His writings and sermons contain many passages of eloquei.t denunciation against the sale and use of liquors. Mem— 'I am aware of it, and would infer that he was decidedly averse to the manufacture and sale of liquors, which I believe he was in the habit of calling " poison," but do you think be would have required the Leg sla- ture to prohibit (be traffic under pena'ties ? itftn.— I have examined the writings of Mr. Wesley with a view to as* ci^rtain whether be had expressed hie mind on that subject, and I find he has done so in a very striking and forcible way. Hio opinion on all practj. cal subjects h^s great weight with me, and I confecs that my own conduct is governed in this case by a Arm persuasion that if Mr. Wesley were now living, be would be an eiouqent advocdte of legal prohibition. Mein.—i do not possess a copy of Mr. Wesley's works, and should be glad if you point out to me the passages which you think sustain your convictions. JMitt.—l will do so. In the eleventh volume of Mr. Wesley's works; the third English edition, between the 50th and 60th pages there is an arti- cle from his pen entitled " Thoughts on the present scarcity of provisions." It may be found in the 6th volume of the American ed tion page 274. He asks the question * why is food so dear," and he says-—* to set aside par. tial causes, (which all put together, are little more ban a fly upon the chariot wheel) the grand cause is, because such immense quantities of corn are continually consumed by didlilling," * little less than half the wheat pro. duced in the kingdom is every year consumed, not by so harmless a way AS throwing it into the sea. but by converting it into deai/ly poison, poii'On that naturally destroys not only the t-trength and life, but alfo ibe morals of our countrymen." Further on Mr. Wesley supposes the defence lo be set up, '< However, what is paid brings in a large revenue to the Kinif," and he asks, *' Is this an equivalent tor the lives ot his subjects 7 Would His Majesty sell a hundred thousand of His suijfcts yeaily to Algiers for f<>ur hundred thousand pounds 7 Surely no. Will he then sell ihe me tatted with human blood! O tell it not in .Constantinople, that the En- glish raise the royal revenue by selling the flesh and blood of their coun- trymen !" Mem.— I have not heard that passage before, but it is purely a strong one, and it surprises me more than ever that any of his followers should ev»r have engaged in a business to which Mr. Wesley was so decided y opposed. Aftn.-— It is surprising; but that is not the point on which you asked in- formation. The quiiiion was in substancei would Mr. Wesley sustain the Maine Law, and you infer he would from what I have already read to yuu^ 20 THE MAINE LAW ALMANAC. but, I will still further enlijebten you. Mr W. remember, is writing on the scarcity of provisions, and he asks ''What remedy is there for this sore evil,'* and ** how can the price of wheat and barley be reduced 1" Will you give attention to his answer. Hear it! **Bv prohibiting roa ever; iff making a full end of that bane of health, that destroyer of strength, of life, and of virtue, di$tilling. Perhaps this alone might go a great way toward answering the whole design &c." 3f«m.— That answers my enquiry and removes my doubts, and when Mn — — — ventures again to suggest to me that I am not a sound Metbo* dist because I am a strong Maine Law man ; I have an answer for him But have you got any further testimony 7 Min. — I have. The paper referred to in this conversation bears^ date *' Leiriiham, Jan. 20th 1773. But more than eleven years afterward, Mr. Wesley wrote a letter to the Right Hon. Wm. Pitt, Prime Minister of fengland, and on the subject of raising a revenue by excise on distillation ho spealu in his usual plain way- He was informed that the duty raised £20,000 in 1788. But he asks ** have not the spirits distilled this year cost 20,000 lives of His Majesty's liege subjects ? Is not then the blood of these men vilely bartered for dC30,000 ? not to say any thing of the enormous wickedness which has been occasioned hereby ; and not to suppose that these poor wretches have any souls. But (to consider money alone) is the King a gainer or an immense loser ? To say nothing of many millions of quarters of corn destroyed, which, if exported, would have added more than £20,000 to the revenue— be it considered, ** dead men pay no taxes," to that of the death of 20,000 persons yearly, (and this computation is far under the mark,) the revenue loses far more than it gains." You will hence see that Mr. Wesley was opposed to the traffic, both on economical and moral grounds; he would now, if alive, protest against and urge the speedy demolition of the iniquitous system by legislative enactment. Mem.-^l am persuaded of that, and it would not give me any uneasiness to witness the destruction of all the liquor property in the country. Min, — A good deal of that kind of work will have to be done. In Ca- nada men will persist in the business. Our work is not done when a suit- able law is enacted. It mu8t be sustained, and every man must be willing to be branded as a common informer. In the mouth of the wicked we shall be a reproach and by word, but God will defend the right, and if Mr. Wesley had been entirely silent on this point it would not have changed the nature of things. It is well enough to be sustained by the opinion of the wise and good, but eternal truth and righteousness must for ever con- demn a business that is essentially vile and practically immoral. FACTS AND FIGURES. For the following valuable statistics, we are indebted to the Organ of the Temperance Reform^ by Gen. S. F. Carey, published at Cincinnati. We ask for them a careful and candid perusal: — The amount of liquor manufactured in the United States, and imported from other countries, is almost incredible. There was imported into this country, in 1850, according to the United States Treasury tables, eleven million one hundred and Jiftysix thousand, one hundred and nineteen gallons of liquor. There was manufactured in the United States, according to the ocnaus returns, (exclusive of six slates and two territories, not re> ported,) in 1850, eighty-three million nine hundred and seventy.two thou- sand one hundred and seventy-five gallons of intoxicating liquors. The manufacture and import, in 1850, amounts to a little over four gai^lons for ^yery man, woman and child— ;black and Indian— within our borders. But it will be urged that a large part of this domestic production is ex- ting on the ir tnis lore ' Will you OR ever; itrengtb, of great way and when ind Metho* er for him ^ara^date rward, Mr. Miniater of distillation duty raised lis year cost lod of these e enormous ippose that one) is the millions of idded more no taxes," ation is far You will •conomical id urge the nent. uneasiness i.

What do the tablet) show 7 Only 707,546 gallons of foreign, and 1,033,310 ^nllons of domeaiio liquors, were exported' during that year to do the work ur death in other lands. Take out this from the gross amount, and make a liberal allowance for what is used in the arts, (there beins: no data on this point) and ii will still be found that the con. sumption equals four gallons per head of the cnilrn population of the country. There is a class of persons who look only at the dollar and cent view of the temperance question, and who maintain that the enforcement of the Maine Law throu|;hont the United States, would most seriously aflect the trade nnd commerce of the country. Let us look this subject right in the face, and see what w luld be the efTect, if importation of all kinds of liquon was prohibited by Conf^ress. The entire value of the imports of all kinds of Kquor for the year ending June 30, 18.52. was $4,654.362— ^hile that of all other kinds of merchan- diflc was $178,138,318. Only a Ir.ile over ttooper cent of the import trade r. hen was liquor— a mere drop in !he bucket. For tho year ending June 30, 1851, the total imports were $223,419,005, the liquor item waBonly$4,- 285,886, or but 1 and 9.10ths per cent of the whole. The proportion of the value of exported liquors to the value of other im- ports, is still more contemptible. For the year ending June 30, 1851, the total amount of exported merchandise, both foreign and domestic, was ,$218,388,610, and the value of liquors ol all kindis exported, was only $700,620, but one.third of one per cent of tho whole. The losses on land, and sen, and river, by fire, shipwreck, boiler bursting, &c., occasioned by this article of commerce, far exceed the amount of profit derived from it. So far. from impairing trade, the entire banishment of liquor would greatly increase it, and render it more secure. Not an intelli- gent man in Christendom, who will look at the facts, dare controvert this proposition. The farming and manufacturing interests would derive direct and positive benefits to an almost inconceivable amount, by at once putting out the fires of every distillery in the United States. Take away the ration of four gallons of liquor to every man, woman and child in the country, and there would 'be a greatly increased demand for wholesome food and comfortable clothing, greater activity and thrift would at once be manifest in every branch of industry. The great source of wealth in the country, is the bone, muscles, and sinews of the people, their full exercise under the direction of cultivated miiids, in a pure, moral atmosphere, would add to the productions ot the country ten-fold more than is given by the manufacture of liquor. This business paralyzes industry, puts out the fires of geniuf, and corrupts and depraves the morals of the nation. If every distillery in the United States was burned down today, and a law was passed by Congress, cutting off all importation of fareign liquors, it would be a saving to the nation of milliona of dollars in a single year. Why should a few men be permitted to impair the commerce and derange the trade of a great and mighty nation, when even they themselves arc almost universally the losers by the operation 1 We challenge all political economists, by any sophistry or argument, Ui shake our positions^ We conclude this article by re-affirming that the interests of trade and commerce, both foreigiv.and domestic, imperatively demand laws entirely prohibiting the liquor manufacture and traffic ; and this without reference to the moral desolations which are wrought in every neighborhood, and in almost every family in the l^nd.

And finally, Chief Justice Taney said, ** If any state deems the retail and internal traffic in ardeht spirits injurious to its citizens, 1 see nothing in the Constitution to prevent it from regulating and restraining the traffic, or from profiihilinff it attoffelker."

They were all in f:ont of a very respectable licen$ed tafern. The drunkard shook his head and muttered something, not distinctly audible to the bystanders, but it sounded like ' laws — precious — humbug.' The gents stared again, and could not help thinking there was something in him, although he spoke queerly. ** Well, my friend," said one, " will you tell un what it is that troubles you ?" " Troubles me — enough to trouble me, and you, and all of us." " Calm yourself," said the inquirer. "Calm — calm" -^said the drunkard. " Oh, yes, you preach calmness — but a storm m.yat come. Your cursed laws made me what I am ;" and looking one of them in the face, (he was an M.P.P.,) he said, " your laws are bad. I hate liquor — I despise drunkenness— but I am a drunkard. I fled from one place to another to avoid companions — but here I am what you see mc, nearly drunk ' accord- ing to law,' * Entered according to act of Parliament,' for the lower regions " The M.P.P. looked haU twisted mentally ; he voted for chap. 100 of the last statutes, and could only say, *' What's your name 1" <' Name ! aye, nane !

The M.P.P. spoke—" I have seen you before " " You have," said the other, " but not as you now see me.

I hail, says a gentleman of the State of Ohio, this law as one of the bright- est omens nf belter days ; and hope that the prayeis of the church will ascend to God in one universal, undying petition, until every State in the Union shall proclaim its freedom from the curse of drunkenness, by the rmssaffe and en*, forcement of a similar law. Theie are many arguments which tvill appeal to the candid mind in favor of this measure ; and all should be known, that all may be convhiced. I will state a list, and hope that others will add to it, such ^hort and tangible reasons as may me^t every case, 2^The sa^e of intoxicatmg drinks as a beverage, should be prohibited by law, because 1. They deprive men of thcirreasoni for the time beln They bar the progress of civilization and religion. 5* They destroy the pence and happiness of millions of families. 6. They reduce many virtuous wives and children to beggary. 7- They cause many thousands of murders. 8. They prevent all reformation of character. 9t They render abortive the strongest resolutions. 10. The millions of property expended in them is lost. 11. The time of the sellers of Ihem is worse than thrown away. 12* The sellers had better be supported as paupers. 13* They cause the majority of cases of insanity. 14. They destroy both the body and the soul. 15* They burden sober people with millions of paupers. 16* They cause immense expenditures to prevent crime. ]?• They cost sober people immense sums in charity. 18. They burden the country with enormous taxes. 19* Because moderate drinkers want the temptation renioved. 20. Drunkards want the opportunity removed. 21. Sober people want the nuisance removed. ' ^ 22 Tax-pnyers want the burden removed 23. The prohibition would save thousands now falling. 24. The sale exposes our perons tu insult. 25' The sale exposes our families to destruction, 26. The sale upholds the vicious and iitle, at the expense of the virtuous 27. The sale subjects the sobei to great oppression 28. U takes ihe sober man's earnings to support (he drunkard. 29* It subjects numberless wives tu untold sufferings. 30. It is contrary lo the Bible. 31. It is ro'itrary to common sense 32. We have a right to rid ourselves of the burden. 33. We owe it to our forefathers 34. We owe it to the poor drunkard. 35. We owe it to his afflicted family. 36 We owe it to our own children. 37* We oic head of Sumptuary Laws, as is shown by the Rev. John Pierpont. He says, in a letter to the Massachusetts Life Boat : — " The opponents of our " Liquor Law" cry out against it as '• a sump- tuary law ;" seeming to suppose that by giving the law a bad name, they may bringjit into bad odor. Before we allow ourselves to be fright-ned out of our wits by this clamor, may it not be weir that we should ask ourselves, or rather, ask those who raise the damor, two questions. First, What is there so very alarming in a sumptuary law '? Mr. Justice Blackstone tells us, (Book IV ch. 13. § 7) that, among political writers there has been much controversy concern- ing the general utility, to a state, of such laws. Baron Montesquieu, he reminds us, lays it down that luxury, which it is the pui|)ose of all sump- tuary laws to restrain — is ruinous to democracies. Now no one, I appre- hend, will think of classing Montesquieu, with us " lunatics." Our go- vernment ii mixed ; and if one who so well understood the nature of Governments, and *' the spirit of the laws" adapted to the preservation of the several forms of Government, as did Baron Montesquieu, seriously think that " luxury is ruinous, " must the citizen, or the legislar ture, that seeks to protect the public, by holding in check that which is ruinous to it, be scouted and hooted at, as an enenay to the State 1 That is 4 ib'i THE MAINE LAW ALMANAC. '^9 the first question, that I would ask our friends of the proof-glass and the toddy-stick. The second question that I would ask them is this : — What do you un- derstand, gentlemen, hy *» sumptuary laws ?" — hecause, if, in chasing after objections, you happen to get a wrong pig by the ear," the public will not be very considerably instructed, how much soever it may be waked up by the squeal. Blackstone speaks of sumptuary laws, as those " against luxury and ex. travagant expenses in dress, diet and the like j" and be instances those un- der the Edwards' and Henrys' ot England "^against piked shoes, short doublets, and long coats;" and such as ordain " that no man shall be served at dinner or supper, with more than two courses." Webster says, — " sump- ^'ary laws or regulations are such as restrain or limit the expenses oj citi- zensy as apparel, food, furniture, ^c." Now does our " liquor law" fit these definitions? Or do the definitions touch the law 1 Does the law limit, or seek to limit the expenses at which any citizen may live ? Does it fix the length of his coat or doublet ? Does it prescribe the extent to which his shoes may hi piked ? Does it tell us how many courses we may be served with at dinner or at supper ? Nay, verily. It does not say what a man shall eat, or what he shall drink, or wherewithal he shall be clothed ; how much it may cost him to live, or what he shall live upon, or even that he shall live at all. It does not tell any man what he shall not eat, or what he shall not drink. It simply tells him what he sh«>ll not sell. It does not say that a man shall not drink any quantity of any quality of fluid that he can get down his throat. For all that this >' sumptuary law" can do or say to the contrary, any bib- ber of beer or brandy may lie at the spiggot, or even at the bung, and swig as long as he can " stomach it ;" and the " liquor law" will not harm him whatever the liquor may do. How then, gentlemen, do you make it appear that this is a "sumptuary law '.'" Please explain, or please conduct to its final cadunce, your cry of " Sumptuary Laws !" THE FOUNTAIN.- Into the sunshine.
