... . ..... ii,1uufllUf wno )fl(j n)a,n. .tained that a republic was necessarily more limited in its powers than a monarchy, Mr. Porter ;"u lUH"' le opposite, rather, was true. I hat the difference in the cases was this: in the one, the power resided in the king, and in the other in the people; and as the people were the only legitimate source of power, the power in a republic must, of necessity, be equal to iliat in a monarchy. Having dwelt upon this topic for some time, with much earnestness, Mr. Porter proceeded to discuss the fourth proposition. 4. Is the law invalid, as being contrary to natural rights, which the people cannot part with 9 and bestow upon the Government? The doctrine which I maintain is this: That "if there be any residuum of natural rights which the people are incapable of bestowing upon Government, it is of those the bestowmentof which would inevitably subvert, instead of supporting, society. - That whatever, in any instance, might prctnolc the purposes for which society is organizetTinay be bestowed upon society; and- that as all legislative authority (except as granted to the general government or prohibited by the state constitution) has been bestowed by the people upon the legislature, if the right to prevent any pursuit, might, in the particular instance, be beneficial to ' society, the constitution has conferred it." ' Mr. Porter then proceeded to say that it had always been regarded as within the province of legislative authority,, especially in a republic, to enact laws, the purpose of which was: 1. To strengthen the foundations of public virtue. 2. To strengthen the family compact. 3. To confirm public order. 4. To encourage and increase productive industry. 5. To diminish the burdens of society in the shape of taxes. ( " Mr. Porter, as to the first point,. cited the laws against bigamy, polygamy, incest, gaming, . the keeping of lotteries, &c, and he challenged ' any man to say whether intemperance had not struck more seriously, because more extensively, at the foundations of public virtue than these. In relation to the second point, Mr. Porter again cited the laws against bigamy and polygamy. He said that they were not merely en- ; acted to punish the crime itself, but in order that ; children might be. reared under the constant guardianship and counsels of a father as. well as a mother, in order to be made good citizens. Mr. Porter maintained that best regulated governments were those where home was dearest, and, he said, if he wished to cultivate patriotism he would cause to be sung in the public assemblies, not the Marseillaise but Home Sweet Home. He here read an eloquent passage from Upham's 'Mental Philosophy on the connection between patriotism and the culture of the domestic affec-, tions. Yet what. -had broken in upon the sanctuary of domestic affections like intemperance? It had broken the' hearth-stone; it had brought in lean and haggard poverty, witli its scourge, to drive out and scatter the family; it had transformed the husband into a fiend and the father into a gibbering beast. ,; . As to the third point, he said that the constitution itself had declared that "to maintain public order" was one of the purposes of government. Yet of the crimes of violence, how many . were not the fruit of intemperance? , Let every lawyer who had practiced in criminal courts asswer. 1 "- . .;' ' '- : "." As to the fourth point, he mentioned the startling statement of Mr. Gibbon, that no state, without ' being soon exhausted, could maintain more than a hundredth part of its members jn armsr. and idleness. This state had nearly al.ways had a law against vagrants.. tl The people were taxed for the organization of the State Board of Agriculture, which was organized to stimulate industry, but what strikes at the vitals of industry like the intemperate use of liquors? As to the fifth point, he showed that in the county of Marion, during the quarter when the law was enforced, (before calumny had asserted that the Supreme Court" had given "a private judgement against the law before a public announcement) the jail fees, according to a statement of the county board, had been reduced pne-half. He showed the other burdens, in the way of taxes, that intemperance imposed. !,.: 1 He insisted,., therefore, that this law, which was aimed simply at the prevention of drunkenness; was not subersive of any . natural rights superior to the constitution. . .. :, , ., Mr. Porter here recurred to a position of Mr. McDonald, that the preventiouof the man1ufacture and sale of liquor was not to be likened .to the ' prevention of a nuisance ; such as a slaughter house, &c, that being local. Mr. Porter said, that it was local was an accident rather than an incident of the thing.- Suppose the offensive smell should spread over the whole State, could not the prohibition be as extensive? Nor did it make any difference, that the nuisance was not such to every one. Many became accustomed to the smell of a slaughter house, but some did not, and because it annoyed the latter, it was declared a nuisance. So liquor might not make every man a drunkard, but it made some men so, to the injury of the Stale, and was not essential, as a beverage, to any man, and hence might be declared a nuisance. .' -.' Mr. Porter then asked this question: If this law, being not in violation of any provision of the constitution, is in violation of some supposed natural law superior to the constitution, can the Court declare it void?,. He contended that it could not. The idea of these superior natural rights proceeds upon the ground that the people cannot part with them to the government; that any attempt to do so is absolutely void. If then this law, instead of being a legislative enactment, were a part of the constitution itself, it would be equally void. Yet the State is the mere creature of ihe constitution and the judicial department is created by and derives all its efficiency from that constitution. It would follow then that a co-ordinate departmeat of the State, created by the constitution, might sit in judgment on the constitution it-elf, might declare it void, and overthrow the State. The redress, in such cases of violation of natural rights was, he contended, in revolution, and could not be furnished by a department of the State. We have tnven but a hurried and imperfect sketch of Mr. Porter's argument, the delivery of which occupied near three hours; but we (rust we have been successful in intimating its essential points.

Commercial and Money Matters. C.KcrKATI, Wednesday Evening. Dee 12. ll.e Money market continues stringent, and best paper ,s negotiated with difliicul.y at 1 to U per cent per month; and even at these rates, I comparatively large amount is offered in vain, the amount of currency is not nearly equal to the i legitimate wants of the community. J ho payments for Hogs, whicL continue to arrive in large quantities, are heavy, aud the poron of the currency thus paid out is taken into the interior. All kinds of business is depressed, and business transactions greatly curtailed, in consequence or the scarcity of money; and more particularly, as there is no immediate prospect of relief. At the East Money is as scarce as it is with Us, and the banks are cautious in expending their circulation. Exchango continues dull at our last quotations. 1 lie Hog market opened decidedly flat to day, and it is very doubtful this evening that good Hogs could be sold at any thing over 6 25. The arrivals continue large. In the market for the Hog product, there was a general.decline, and,at the close accurate quotations could not be given. In Flour a very limited business is doing, and the market closed dull at $1 70. .' : Joseph A. WrighTetTCvs The Bank of the State ot Indiana. Judo-e Minr mmii iii-wim,

Mr. Editor: It is no generally conceded, that the Liquor Law passed at the last session' of the Legislature will be de: clared unconstitutional at the present session of the Supreme Court, which will leave the sale of liquor free to any one that can buy a jug full, without fear of law, license, or restraint of any kind. The result of this is already seen on our streets it is now. no uncommon occurrence to see drunken men, and this will increase instead of diminish. " What then is to, be llie.result .of this? Where will it end?. These are questions that persons in the habit of philosophising can discuss, perhaps to their own satisfaction, and I shall leave it to them. . My object is to throw out a single idea,' for the consideration of every class of citizens, as to the plan I think mostlikely to check, in a measure at least, street drunk enness. . Liquor is now sold it will be sold, to any and everybody, in any quantity; it can't be checked by law, as the law has or will be declared void, by the Supreme Court. We have all the evils of drunkenness; why not get a benefit from it? If l am not wrong in my reading of the City Charter, the Council has the power to levy a tax, or license, on any public house why not tax liquor selling? ., Our city is bankrupt;, all, the watchmen we can employ can't prevent the sale and use of liquor; and why, not tax it? Suppose a tax of $500 a year was levied for selling liquor; don't you suppose twenty houses in the city would pay it? I do, and think this revenue of $10,000 would go a good way to bring our city orders to par.:, If twenty houses are taxed, and pay their tax, do you suppose they would permit fifty rum-holes to sell round them on the free-trade principle? I don't, but believe they would watch all little drinking holes closer than our , fifteen watchmen ever have done. If twenty houses pay $500 a year,- the tax will come off those that drink-the- liquor, get drunk on our streets, fill our jail, and cause such a heavy expense in the. courts; aud as the tax is high; the drinks would be high there would not be so much drank, and not so much drunken ness. The poor devils that now get drunk on five cents worth of liquor, couldn't get money enough to keep drunk at 20 cents a drink; or at least they would have to do more work to get the same amount of drunk. This class of drunkards would be materially diminished, and I can't see that any class would be increased, or that the temptation for youth would be any greater. I would not have it considered that I am a friend of drinking, or the liquor seller, for I am not; but I see the evil all see it it is growing it will get worse before it is better and I am for any way that will tend to check it until we can cet a law that will stick. I ask you to lay this before your readers, and let them give it just such consideration as they think it deserves no more n0 less. Tax-Payer. Indianapolis, Dec. 11, 1855.

DEATH. Death lirks in the midst of the moving mass of mankind, arrt at its option snatches from the gay throng one by one of its many victims, and carries them off, perhaps to the flowery fields of Heaven, and perhaps to the dismal pits of Hell. The mother who prays for her only son, as he starts out in this wide and unpilying world, lo seek a home in some far distant clime, prays that Death may not separate them forever, although they may be separated while here on earth she prays that they may be allowed to meet in Heaven's sweet clime, to part no more. But Death, that pale-faced, dreaded monster, heeds not her humble prayers, but follows him on to a far distant land, and then seizes upon his

trail bodj, and brings him down lo his cold, cold grave, without a father, a mother, or a loving sister, to smoothe his flowing curls . for the last time here on earth, or to steal one kiss from those pale cold lips before they are closed, in the calm sleep of. Death, or to speak kind words of love in his eager ear as they used to do, at his far off distant home; but strangers lay in the cold grave, , heedless of his prayers for his parents at home. Permit vour fancy, for a while, to wander back to his once happy home. The Father, Mother, and Sister, are all praying for his welfare and happiness; but Oh, little do they drcarn of his sorrowful fate that Death has long since laid him in his last resting place on earth, the grave ; and that the wild flowers have bloomed for many bright summers o'er his damp, cold resting place 'neath the green sod of a far distant, clime. .Days, months, and years pass slowly away, and bring no tidings of their long lost son. lime rolls on, and Death has laid that Father, that Mother, . and that SisU r, all in their dark graves. They are carried bv ancels to Heaven, and there in that happy land they meet their long lost son. Oh, what joy ! what happiness !, to meet once more, not on earth, but in Heaven s sweet clime to part no more, but to dwell with saints and angels of that glorious paradise. ' Death steals into the dark chamber where the wakeful mother sits watching . every movement of her infant child, whose pale and ghastly features convince you at onoo that it is laboring under' the cold hand of sickness, and . that ere long the palefaced angel of Death will creep into the humble abode and lay its cold fingers on the pale cheeks of that angel of earth, and points to that Eden above, 'where its spirit soon shall dwell. How that mother watches the beating of its little pulse,, and its pale sunken features, and sends up fervent prayers to Him who reigns above, that her only child may live. ' But oh, her prayers are ' fruitless. Death steals silently into its cradle, and snatches its littlu victim. The work is done; the almost broken-hearted mother stands weeping over the lifeless form of her only child.' "Grim Death" has destroyed her only hope, and plucked the little bud that seemed so near and dear to her almost broken heart. How sorrowful is Death. You stand by the bedside of a kind Father, or a loving Mother, who is laboring under the cold hand of sickness.- All hopes have long since been givenup. " How shrunken are those cheeks that once were glowing .with health ; how parched those lips ; how pale that forehead ; how weakened that frame. The warm tears roll down your cheeks, as you press that cold hand to your lips for the last time. How the touch of that cold hand strikes to the very core of your heart, and you bid a last adieu to that kind Father or loving Mother. ' ' ' '; ' .- ' Death robs you of your nearest and dearest friends, and wafts their souls to that happy and joyous world where Death is not, but where life is- continual and full of joy. " E. II.
