As the voters in each case ar tl. Rimn u.rwn

there cannot be any difference made in this respect.' But this might be done: a day might be set apart for the special election of Senators

alone; all legal voters might on" that d.iy be pro liibited from doing any work whatever, as unbe

coming in aristocrats; they might also be required .1 i 4. . i . i , i .

njjpeiir hi me uusb ttpparei inat meir means would allow, and bedizened with nil the insignia

of nobility that they could procure; so that bein

duly impressed with proper ideas of their exalted

rank as aristocrats, the election for senators or

lords (the name is immaterial,) might be con

ducted with all becoming pomp and magnificence. ' On the other hand they might be allowed (o vote for the members of the lower house in their every-day clothes; regarding themselves on that

occasion as nothing more than democrats.

From the manner in which our Legislature is

constituted one would suppose that the people have two voices. Is this so? They elect a House of Representatives: the men composing it must be supposed to represent their will fully and truly. There cannot therefore be a necessity for any further representation for that purpose. What, then, is the design of the Senate or House of Lords temporary? Manifestly it is this: They are a body of men elected by the people to withstand their will. We are driven to this conclusion, because there is no other object which they can possibly be designed. to effect, unless it be incidentally the multiplication of offices, so that a greater number of persons may be provided for out of the public treasury. In agreeing to a Conslitution which confers upon a body of supposed wise men the power of withstanding and defeating their will for four years, the people have, unintentionally no doubt, acknowledged tliat they are incompetent to govern themselves; and that it is theiefore proper to invest this body of men with the power of dictators for a limited time. At the commencement of our history as a nation, this might not have done any very serious iniurv: but at the nrescnt (lav. exnerience lias

- j j r i shown that as a general rule it is not wise to elect men to office for a longer term than one year; and the power of removal from office should be acknowledged to exist in those who in the first place conferred it that is, in the majority of the legal voters of the county, district, or State, as the case may be; so that if any officer should prove unworthy o the trust confided in him, his constituents, by immediately electing another person to fill his place, might give him leave to retire from the duties of his office. If this principle were carried out in both the State and general governments, the laws would then be truly what they now pretend to be, but are not, the expression of the will of the people. For it is plain that the known will of the majority of the citizens is sometimes openly disregarded, and that too on the most important subjects. The offenders are emboldened in such a course by the fact that they will retain their offices for a certain term of years anyhow; and indeed sometimes make this boast publicly. They also trust that the attention of the people will be so engrossed by some new topic, that they will have fortrotten their offences before the time of reckoning comes; or that by skilfully managed intrigues the current of popular opinion will have been changed. Or it may be that they receive such large inducements from other quarters, in the shape of political favors, or in hard cash, that they suppose they can afford to lose the good will of their constituents. For these cases there is one, only one remedy, and that is the establishment of this principle: that by whatever power any man is elected to office, that power retains the right also to remove at any instant the person so elected. In this way the power of the people will not be hampered by such limitations, nor their action delayed solongthat.perhaps all the evil which can result, from a bad law will have been effected before they are able to apply the remedy. In the first stages . of our government, the framers of our Constitutions feared to trust the people; democracy was with them an experiment; but all our history shows that the people alone are to be trusted. Let our Constitutions, then, be so altered that they may exercise their right of governing, not by the present slow process, which often requires years to remedy an evil; but so that their condemnation may fall upon the heads of unfaithful public servants with the inevitable swiftness and certainty of lightning. Let every officer be liable to instant dismission from office whenever his constituents see fit to dismiss him. This is the only proper course for those who claim to be able to govern themselves. But if we choose to admit that we are not capable of self government, then consistency would require that our government should be changed to a monarchy or an aristocracy at once. If it is consistent in a democracy to permit officers to disobey the will of their constituents, for four years, or for six years, then it is equally consistent to allow them to do so for a life-time. There should be no half-way house between despotism on the one hand and democracy on the other. , jf3T"There is no doubt in our mind that brokers, exchangers, and dealers' in money,' are as

great a curse as any community can be infested j of tJ)e

The Triumph of the Prohihitn T w

The triumph for which good men have so long labored, and for which noble women have prayed and heroically stru'!rled. has been achieved !

The hour has struck when the stream of vice and sorrow, which has been sweeping over the State, is (we dare hope) to be sealed up at its fountain. Let us thank God, and take courage. There will be some encouragement now to solid men to emigrate to Indiana, where every man knows that he will come to a State where Ida family will be exempt from exposure to the evils of the liquor traffic ; where the burthen of taxes will be diminished by the reduction of court fees, jail fees, and other exactions incident to crimes; and where the mouths of many who, from drunkenness, are now barely able to provide the coarsest and most meagre articles of subsistance, will become busy and plentiful consumers of home-raised produce stimulating agriculture by increasing the home demands for

its products.

There is joyous comfort in living here now,

where we feel that our children will bo shielded

from the temptations and allurements of ltoi;-

shops; where woman the innocent, but the first sufferer from intemperance shall have the bur

then of her sorrows and anguish removed j where men, long since degraded to the level of the brute, shall be "saved from themselves," and

restored to a communion with their old friends;

and where the reforms educational and moral which have always been kept in check or

strangled by grog-shop influences, shall work out their beneficent ameliorations.

And now, friends, what is to be done? "Much

every way. I lie law is to be explained; prejudices are to be allayed; quibbles to be exposed; constitutional objections are to be answered; misconstruction is to be shown up to the light; and,

aDove all, the law is to be enforced. Unless this is done, the victory is a defeat! If, throuirh an in

efficient execution, the law fails of its purpose; if,

in Mjmu ui iv, liquor-selling still continues, anu intemperance, though somewhat checked, still sweeps on in a desolating tide, the sleepless activity of the distillers, and of those who desire to

make profit by the destruction of their fellows,

will work its overthrow.

The taking effect of the law is postponed until

the middle of June. Meanwhile the elections comes on for those very officers who are to be the

executors of the law. Let the people see that

men are elected of the ri"ht stan.p! And let

us see if the liquor-seller shall mock at us any longer !

There is, perhaps, no one who, if seeking in a

mere caviling spirit for objections, might not find

something in the details of this law (as in any

other important law) which he would like to see

somewhat different. I hat was to be expected. But, all in all, the law is right, in this, that, if

enforced, it will put an effectual stop to intemperance henceforth and forever.

We intend that the Locomotive shall be the

earnest friend of this law, and a hearty co-worker with those persons who are resolved, by the help of God and the People, to supplant the curse of

Intemperance.

OUR YOUNG FOLKS. We have been informed of divers weddings that have come off, during the week, among the young folks of our immediate acquaintance. We are happy to congratulate, nlways, as well tho young folks as the middle-aged and old, upon the change from the selfish oneness to the sympathetic oneness. The first rule in arithmetic that we learned was addition ; but then we did not know what immensity there was in the rule when practically worked out in the great heart of human sympathy. And then we did not perceive how beautifully that rule working in that great heart naturally glided into that next rule that we learned, multiplication. One added to one makes two-in-one, multiplied indefinitely. Such is the rule of the human heart's broad sym-

with. They are consumers, without producing, and keep a continual excitement in the money market, and produce constant changes in the standing of banks for their own profit. Cincinnati was overrun with this horde, until the mechanical and industrial interests were nearly ruined, and they now infest our city as thick as locusts in Egypt. Our Legislature has wisely attempted to restrain this class, by levying a li

cense of $100 on every one that deals in buying , look out for squalls.

and selling uncurrent money, and if this license

pathy; not theoretically told, but practically demonstrated every day. It is right of course that it is so, for if it were not so, Adam and Eve would soon have to come forth from their graves to start the world again. But we believe there are no signs of any need of a new start yet awhile. The young folks still keep up a pretty general signing away of their liberties and seem in no wise tired of the simple rules, addition and multiplication. We have no objection. We say "go in lemons, if you will get squeezed."" But boys, we say, remember; there's some difference between courting a girl with candy kisses, and providing meat and bread for the family. April's coquettish smiles make not up the whole year. December will come. ' Be not too sure but the iris of hope that now bends in its splendor over your young life's horizon may not fade away into a gloomy sky. Be not too sure but that the charming girl who so meltingly now looks into your eye, may not turn out ere you have gone far, to be a thundering mean spit-fire of a thing. Do not be too sure that you will pick up roses all along the pathway of life, or that you will listen only to dulcet sounds of love and happiness. Look out for the bitter as well as the sweet. High

heeled boots may be worn even to the bare heel

Linen shirts may change to cotton,

and the broad shirt collar in its starchy grandeur

fall away and be no more. There is nothing in human life that's warranted not to rip, ravel,

wear out, or get greasy. Human life is all experiment. You are happy now we know : we hope you may always be so ; but as you happily

sing, , "Rock tho cradle Lucy, And keep the baby warm,"

To the Boys. We suppose, from tho extent of our circulation, that 5,000 boys are habitual readers of the Locomotive. They are intelligent boys, and, doubtless, every one of them ambitious to grow up to be useful men. And now, boys, to do so you ought, every one of you, to try to exercise some influence in promoting those reforms now on foot to suppress vice and alleviate sorrow. Every one of you, we know, is a friend of temperance. Whoever else may claim liquor as a blessing, you surely can not. When did a drunken father ever make you happier? When did a liquor shop in your neighborhood ever do you any good? When did n whiky barrel kept in the cellar make your father's farm and fences look better, clothe you more warmly, or send you more months to school? Boys, you have your sphere of labor, and by talking in favor of temperance, and the temper

ance law, at home Bnd among yourselves, you can do much for the enforcement of the law, and much for its stability. And if you wish a place to record what you have done, or mean to do, tho columns of the Locomotive are open to you to record herein your acts and aspirations. All we ask is that your articles be short, as they pretty surely would be, without asking. X5T"It will be seen by a card in another column, that Mr. Knepfler will again give lessons on the Piano. His acquirements as a teacher on that instrument are too well known to need anything further than a mere mention of the fact.

iCjr We will give the largest and best piece of

candy that can be found, to our "unknown" val

entine, if she will let us know who she is. Our

curiosity is excited, and also that of our "second.
