Does the Prohibitory Liquor law Forbid the Manufacture of Liquor far Exportation? It is not with a yiew ot defending the law, or conciliating those who are opposed to it, that we call attention tn thrf question. The law will defend itself; and thegood-will of those who fear the price of corn will be re duced bj its operations, is not worth haring. Any man who would be willing to see the tide of intemperance "continue to sweep'over this land, rather than he should kfail a get a high price for corn, is tooheartless to be called a man. Ho would bo willing to purchase wealth at any price. But what is the fact concerning this law? "We answer, the law is precisely the law, in regard to the manufacture, that we hare contended for, for years the rery kind we contended for about a year ago, when we brought down upon our head the malediction of such men as Hall 5iCo. We then said that we would oppose a law that would forbid the manufacture. We said: "Let the manafacture be unrestrained, only do not allow the manufacturer to keep a tippling house, nor sell to those trho do." TJiis is, in short, the provision of this law in regard to the manufacture of spirituous liquor. Section 4, provides for granting license, to' manufacture and sell, only at the place specified in the license, and limits the sale to the township agents. This is the only section of the law that can affect the manufacture, except section 13. This provides that no person shall own or keep any liq uor with intent to sell the same unlaw fully, and it further provides that the finding of liquor in his possession is presumptive evidence of sn intention to sell unlawfully. This was relied upon, by those who were desirous of baring the law repealed, before the legislature adjonrned, as the section that would nrevent exportation. Let us examine this a moment. Suppose that the Messrs. Walker take . .1.. out license to manufacture. They give bond not to violate the law of Üie iu iuucuvo k uio iuuu,i n1 aala . It is not unreasonab e to suppose that they may keep any quantity Q Jiquor in their warehouse, without molestation. Indeed, it cannot be molested, unless three persons of good i v. i . .i .t. mora cuaracier maae oaui mat tuujr I ... ... .1

And all experience has shown that it is needless to try to keep out the. shinplasters of other States by law. If they circulate they will travel. Several States have laws prohibiting the circulation of small notes, but all in vain. Tim has driven many an anti-bank man :o favor the chartering of homo banks to protect .the citizens from the influx of foreign bills. We are satisfied that this is the only reason why two bank charters passed the late Indiana Legislature. It was , , , arnrtipil that if we must have a bank circulation, let us have one of our own. I The only way that a uniform and Cood J - I 1 i j t currency can ever be obtained is to give the ccneral trovernmcnt the power to regulate ths matter. The following is Col. Benton's plan, and we predict that in less than ten years, it will receivethe sanction of the people, and become a law. Its operations will be 1 uniform, and, wc think, very advantageous.

Slavery can't go into Kansas. The Climate is, not adapted to Slavery. The repeal of the Missouri Com

Thus it is written such is tho law upen which this lrrntory was crested and tbe persons who shall superintend such election and the returns thereof," but it takes upon itself the 'office of defining the qualification of voters in thereof." Tho votes recorded these returns are prima facie legal vnfon nnd tli flnvprnor. notwith standing any number of pro'tct, from the defeated party, cannot go behind them; ho must declare those having the highest number of votes in these returns to be duly elected. There is another tribunal the Assembly and not the Governor who .hall judge and decide of the eligibility of its own mem bers. The onranic Bill in its words. like tho Constitution of the United

States, "is plain and intelligible, and

it is meant for the home-bred, unenlightened understanding of our fellow citizens." How little hav! our Southern friends, impulsive, hospitable and rash, understood the character of the Governor of Kansas. Many have oftentimes said he will favor the South, his sympathies are with the South, but coming from a free State he dares not do it openly! , Upon what reason able premises, upon what, rational induction of the Governor's act and conduct, could such an absurd hypothesis be predicated. "We will yet make a proselyte of him," said' they, Such a proeelvtc as thev would make of the shrewd, calculating, and farsignted uovernor, would be to them two fold more a child of Hell than

be was be fr re." The developments 1 land in the respective townships, the that have already appeared in the provisions of which are bimilar to the Executive character, are amply sufli- provisions of the old law. cient to found a sound conclusion in Sections fifty-eight to ninety-four, inregard to his future course and in- elusive, relate to the investment of the

outward manner, but cold, guarded, and designing within the external manner of a man wholly engrossed with self-ag?randizement, and the steady accomplishment of his own private purposes. Possessing many qualities that go to make up a strong man, the Lxccutive character is yet deficient in one great essential an unfortunate infirmity of purpose, and a weak nervous oscillation of mind, are ldiosyncracies with the Governor of Kansas. Governor he is and would be Senator hereafter! He is not with out ambition would play false; would wrongiy win; and yet he tears to do it boldly like a man. He is a small, nonpariel edition of Talleyrand and Metternich combined, without one spark or 6einctillation of the "Jackson Lternal" in his whule composition.Isolated and alone upon the Frontier he stood; in the midst of centlemen of high official character and talent, the I great noncommittal was distant and repulsive; for without the encourage of friends be dared not proclaim publicly that "he was a Free Soiler, and would do all consistently with his official oath and dijrnity, to make Kansas a free State," as t he had a right to say, and a right to do for he knew not what evils the passions of an impulsive people, aroused to their highest pitch in an exciting contest, might hurl around his devoted head, No doubt in his midnight dreams his Excellency saw his honor, Judge Lynch, with his ciave, judicial aspöet, 6'itting at the foot of Lis bed, remarkinj; with all the politeness of Richelieu to Baradas, that the Court had taken his case under consideration, and that they did not believo "that the air of Kansas asrretd with them." But far different will be his position at the i - i i jiapproacning cusis;ne nas maue ior himself friends far away from the Frontierpotrer friends on the head waters of the Kaw. His town fcite 13 la tha heart-f the imliUrr roci - tion, beneath the gaping mouths of the protecting cannon, and his aide-de-1 camp is already in Washington legalizing this unlawful proceeding. No ugly provision of the bill can interfere j with his military friends; they have voted once, and they will vote again; the offending clause will be a dead letter when his Excellency choscs to exert his powers as the "Great Exponnder" of the organic Bill. It is now time for the South to rally; to wait no longer with folded arms for "signs of the times," but go to work boldly, fearlessly, energetically, and with a sustained buoyancy of spirit and fixedness of purpose to ensuro his great end. Southerners, you will baptize in a horse-pond, and tar and feather a poor devil, who believes he is doing God's service when he persuades a slave to escape, and yet you will look on supinely, when the whole institution is threatened with extermination and stand by and see with composure a Paradisical garden marked out and dedicated ns r.n Iura ior decoyed, stolen, and rnavay slaves. Big hearted but lceble handed, you would look on, 6hcddiug tears of impotence and self-contempt. Freemen of the South, pioneers of the West, "these are the times to try men's souls." This is the twelfth hour of the night birds of darkness are on the wing the day will 60on dawn the battle will soon commence. Arouse and fight a good fight; let the eagles of victory p'jrch upon your banner! Steady men! Forward.! Synopsis of the School Law. Section one provides for thc assessment and collection of ten cents on the hundred dollars and fifty cents on every poll, for school purposes. Negroes and mulattocs arc excepted from the tax. and excluded from thc schools.

Sections one hundred and twelve to one hundred and twenty-eight, relate to a general superintendent for the fetale, and point out his dntics, which are, to visit each county once in a year, to furnish the law and legislative documents to common school libraries, to license teachers, make reports of the condition of the public schools, and o all pnvate schools, fcc.

And first as to the price of tuition Thisis as low as other institutions of a similar character. Take, for instance the Oxford Female College, and Oxford Female Institute, bothcf which charge the same. Their prices are as follows: Primary Department, per annum, 814 Academic, " " " - 22 Collegiate, 30 White Water Presbyterial Academy, Dunlapsvillc, Indiana: Primary Department, per annum, 810 Middle, " " 14 Classical, 20 White Water College, Centrcvillc, Indiana: Primary Department, per Rnnum,7,50 Academical, " " 13,50 Colllegiatc, 4 22,50 Brookville College, B'I' arc due at the middle of the term, i i if paid before tho.closc of the term ten per cent is deducted. Thc price of tuition is ns follows: Primary Dcp't., 810 Discount off, 89 Academic, "814 " 12.GU Collegiate, " . 321 " 21. GO From thc above, it will be seen that tho prices in Brookville College arc below those of the above Institutions, except one item in White Water Col lege. Their Primary department "is seven dollars and fifty cvnts, while Brookville College Js nine dollars. In the Academical and Collegiate, we arc below them, and also w ith all the rest, except the Classical Depart ment in the White Water Pn byt'i i d Academy, that is one dollar and fixiy ty cents below Brookville College. Where payments nts promptly ina.de, thc patron gets the' bene tit thc 10 per cent discouut. This Wing the case, tho tuition bill will 1 . as fol-

(k0rrtsp0nimtcc.

lows: Primary Dcp.-.rtmcnt, less than twenty two cents per week, Academic, thirty cents per week. Collegiate, less than fifty cents pvr week. Who can complain of this, in view of the -advantages of such an Institution? Take, for instance, the prices of tution irthe Oxford Female College, for the Collegiate year of forty two weeks. Primary Dspartment, 33 certs p-r we(k, Academic, over fifty two cents per week, Collegiate, over seventy one cents per week. From this comparison, it will be seen that the prices in the Brookville .College are at

least one third lower than they are in the Oxford Female" College and In stitute. These comparisons are not made for the purpose of drawing patronarre from the above Institutions, (for there is room enough for all,) but to show those in this locality who think our charges are too hih. that we are not above oilier Institution of nilar grade in this, section of coun try. .Notwithstanding the hard times, the prospects of the college may be said to be flattering. The number of 6tudent3 is incrcawnglat present, and with an excellent Board of instruction. who are devoting their energies to their appropriate work, we are per suaded that all concerned will be sat isfied with the progress their children are making in the several branches that they are pursuing. As to the health 'of Brookville, I may say with safety, that it is not sur passed by any other town in the White Water valley I have lived in nine different towns in the west, within tbe last twenty years, and after a residence here of three years, I am bold to say so ar as my observation goes, that no town in the west is more uniformly, healthy than Brookville. Boarding can be procured in private families at from two dollars twenty-five cents to two dollars fifty cents per week. There are some young men who board themselves at a cost of not more than one dollar and twenty. five cents per week. Will not the citizens of Brookville and Franklin county especially, rally around this Institution and sustain il? The next term will commence Monday the 23 J of April. . JOHN W.

Died at her residence, in Springfield Township, on Sabbath morning, March 18, Mrs. Ilary Shirk, relict of Andrew Shirk, deceased, aged about G5 years. The deceased was a native of Kentucky, but emigrated to this county ia company with her parents, al quite an early day. At the death of her husband she was left with a larre and dependent family, which caused the cares and duties of life to press heavily upon her; yet, she was spared to see btr family all grown up, and permitted to administer to the wants and necessities of one, now languishing upon a bed of sickness, until the Wednesday evening previous to her death. Mrs. Shirk professed faith in Christ, and united with the Big Cedar Grove Bantist Church, in thc prime of lifo, and for more than thirty years maintained that union and communion with the church, that cone, save thc pious Christian, would likely have maintained. Thc funeral services were attended toon thc day succeeding her death, at which t:mc Elder E. P. Bond preached to an attentive and sympathizing audience, from Revelation, 14th chapter, and 13.h verse: "And I heard a voice from Heaven, faying unto mc, write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, sailh the spirit, that they may rest from Iheir labours; and their works do follow them."
