PATBJCX HETCtTS 80JT. Ths youngest son of Patrick Henry died not long ago, poor, and alone, in a public houio in Floyd county, Virginia. Recently the tavern keeper applied to oreraeera of the poor, for special grant to indemnify him for boarding, funeral expenses, cc, This was refuted on the ground that retrospective appropriations are unauthorized, and that it would be establishing an improper precedent.

Liquor Traffic. From the Philadelphia .Argus we learn, that on Fri
day of last week an important decision
was mado by Judge Thompson, of the
hiladelphia Court of Quarter Sessions
adverse to the sale of liquor on Sun
day. A man, indicted for keeping a
disorderly house, was charged, ia the second count of his iudictment, with selling liquor without license. The
disturbance which caused the indictment took place on Sunday, and there
was evidence of tho sale of liquor on that day. Mr. District Attorney Reed took the ground that, although the defendant was a licensed dealer, yet the license did not cover sales of liquor made on Sunday. Judge Thompson charged the jury, that tho license did not give him the privilege of selling liquor on Sunday, that the Supreme
Court had so decided, and if they be-
eved liquor had been sold by the de
fendant on Sunday, he could be con
victed on that count. This decision of
Judge Thompson is based on that of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
in the case of The Commonwealth asst.
Omit. Aa application of the principle
laid down by Judge Thompson will
entirely suppress the traffic in liquor
on the Sabbath, as the license for its
affairs by the moral and religious portion of the nation is one of the favora-
&n expense of several hundred thousand
dollars, while an only surviving son of

Tuesday evening was devoted to the
exhibition of the Julia Dumont Society a society of young ladies, who
have begun well, in giving such i name to their association. No living wo
man is more worthy this'honor than
Mrs. Dumont, the wife of John Dum
mont,Esq., formerly Prosecuting Attor
ncy of this District.
The exercises cons isted of coloquics
essays and music. Ihe coloquics
were well got up, and well 6poken.
The essays may have been good, but
not one-fourth of the audience could
hear them. We hope none of the young
ladies will publish us a liar in next
week's Democrat, for saying this:
The music was good on all occasions particularly the sinin of the
children on Monday night.
On Wednesday evening the young
gentlemen and ladies belonging to the
Collegiate Department performed.
There was more maturity of intellcc
uispiayea, out no more interest was
felt by the audience, than on the pre ceding evenings.
Taking all of the performances to
gcther. it was such a feast as our citi icnu had never before enjoyed. We hope that, in future, they will be still more interesting and that "commencement week," will soon be hailed as a week of pleasure and profit by all our citizens.
XSTlt will be seen by the card xf
Mr. Evan Owens, that he has consented to run for the office of County Au
ditor. This will be good news to that portion of the citizens of this county that are tired of submitting to the will
of a few interested partUana.;- If we
are not mistaken in the wishes of the
people of this county, and of this state, there is a growing desire and deter
mination ;to vote for officers without
waiting for conventions to say who
may and who may not be voted for.
Other things being equal, we are satisfied that a candidate who has the Independence to appeal directly to the peopVj, will receive a much larger vote
than one who first asks a convention if he may run.
Mr. Owens is a worthy and compe
tent man, and we hope he may have a fair race with the subject of the convention.

The operation of this qualification will be to exclude from the polls and from office in the territories nearly ev

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS?
CHEAP COOKING STOVES
TEE NEBRASKA BILL CHEAT. It appears that the Nebraska plot
ters by a cunningly worded section of
the Bill have provided that foreigners
cannot vote öfter the first election in Ne
braska.
The Clayton amendment was rejec
ted because it ostracised foreigners. It was savagely pounced upon by some
of the Northern presses, which favored the bill, because it was of Whig origin but what will they say now that the odious feature hag been retained by the Democratic majority in both Houses!
The New York Evcniug Post, a
Democratio print exposes the cheat as fellows: we commend it to tho solemn attention of our readers.
It is generally supposed that the
Clayton amcndment.limiting the right of suffrage in tho case of aliens to those
who had resided in that territory four
years was rejecieu, ana uiai emigrants from abroad, who will constitute tho
bulk of tho population for the first few
years, will at once be clothed with all the privileges of citizenship in the Nebraska Bill, (it is the 5th in the Kansas bill,) to show the crroneousncss of this impression, and tho rights of suf. frago of American emigrants, of which few, wo venture to say, of the thousands now making preparations to settle to the new territory, have any idea: Sec. 20. And be it further enacted, that every free white male inhabitant above the ago of twenty ono years, who shall be an actual resident of said territory, and shall possess tho qualifications hereinafter prescribed shall bo entitled to vol at the first election, and Bhall bo eligible to any office within tho said territory; but the qualification of voters, and of holding office, at all subsequent elections, shall be prescribed by the Legislative Assembly. 7Voftcfl,That tho rights of suffrage and of holding ofiicchall be exercised only ly citizens of the United States,
andthose who shall hale declared onoath their intention to become such, and shall have taken un oath ta support the Constitution of tho United Stales, and the provisions of this act: And provided, further, That no oCiccr, soldier, seaman or marine, or any other person in the army or navy of the United States, shall be allowed to vote or hold office in said territory by reason of being on service therein, lly this provision every one may vole nt tho first election, out after the first election, the legislature prescribes of voters, and limits them to the! ß u n li fi c n t i ornpres cribedhf Con'ire 99SJ
