OFFICIAL PAPER (F THE COL WTY. D. & P McDONALD,::::::::::::::: Enters PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY, FEBRlARY 3 1S59. - The Temperance Movement About once in every two or three years the temperance folks' get up a revival; sometimes accomplishing good in a few in dividual cases, but more frequently lending iheir aid to onrrnnt Srl L. -k-T in consideration of their support, agree to ' do l little something for them, it they should succeed in eleeW their candulate. ; ;tiog For the past few years. 'jach successive re viva) has been more limited in its opera

tiens. ana ccuurot in its organization, than VV)' goes off into complainings that us predecessor This has been true J" the aggressors, or else attacks

predecesso such an extent heretofore, that the candid vnes now cease to rook upon them wuh as uch W as formerlv, when much good vas accomplished, and m?.ny hardened! sinners ' were brought to ' raw There s a general movement now being ! rrade by tire frteuds fand tOOM who are; "n) of t- repernce ia the State; but wether it will be the instrument of acconiplishpg as filth good as it its predtcessor, re-1 mains to bo seen. We incline to the opinion that the results of the action now beias taken may be aaort beneficial than 1 W 0 those V4 havo heretofore witnessed, from 1 the fact that our Legislators seem disposed to enact a liw in accordance with the Con- ; stitution of the State; one whose provisions will be just and right, and which will merit the approbation of the people. The law of 1854 was so illiberal, narrow-con-! traotad and outrageously mean, that its fa thers disinherited it: and when its final , . ,. , , 0 rarut followed it to a dishonored grave. Jts fate may do much towards checking the fanaticism which generally characterizes the action of the supporters of temperance 1 or Maine laws, and thus be the indirect means of accomplishing good in a manner .not designed by those who enacted it. The fate of former enactments on this subject clearly demonstrates that a prohib itory law cannot be enforced under our present Constitution; yet, in the face of thii fact, we frequently hear me arguing n tavor ol the re-enactment ol the law of '54, with slight variaiions. Such a course, ( it adopted by the Legislature, would be suicidal to tlie interests of temperance, and entail scenes upon in future similar to those we have been witnessing hr tho p-ist two years. The people vrant a .ood license law, ; one that will leave the amount of ll.-ense : t.-h Bsuft Atiammm wirb th nm..r officers of the county where the license is issued. Then, if the people desirod en- I tire proiiition, they could havo the license placed so high that no man could afford to pay it. In this manner they could be re- , lieved of the eril effects which grog-shops -are exercising. In conjunction with the action which far legislature has takeu on this subject, rtr.te a number of lodges of Good Tempiure have been organized. They will un loubtedly do good if the members kop aober, bat past experience has proven that! tibout two-thirds, or some other large pro--nortion. of those who ioin are actuated ' M J aJ.UK mni-.w..

Jt"Tki Republican appears to he much exercised about the 'good move' we mentioned two weeks ago. Among other 'nice' things, it speaks of 'saloons and doggeries as being a great source of Democratic glory.' Wo should think this would come with a poor grace from such a sourer, when it is a notorious fact that the most incorrigible old drunkards in the county are Republicans. The Peru RepuUiran also worries a littie about the same article. If the eame state of facts which we hare spoken of here does not exist in Per, it is only by chance, and not by reason of any inherent virtue possessed by the Republican party. Valuable Cask. In New York on .Saturday eventac. there was a rather unusual 6ri of 'surprise party,' at tho house of Lemuel Bangs, ia Irving-plajc, when a party of some three hundred persons, of both sexes, presented themselves to the Her Dr Bangs, of the Methodist Chntch, and gare him a token of their esteem in the shape of a cane which contained two thousand dollars in ß vo dollar -'old Coiim.

Pikes Peak. -----

E. C. Hope, of Whiteford County, Ohio, wites to the New York Tribune, Jan 18th 1859, from Adrian Mich., as follows: I see the papers teeming with fabulous accounts of the richness of the South Platte or Pike's Peak gold. Now when I say this is the greatest humbug of the day I speak advisedly. I have made two successful trips to California; I first crossed the plains in 1849, and worked the mines nearly two years, and returned to my home ie [sic] Cleveland, Ohio. I returned again in 1852, and worked nearly two years more in the mines. So I think I am qualified to judge from thorough prospecting, what a man can make per day in the mines. Last September, I, in company with seven others, started for the gold mines of South Platte. There were also two other California miners—J. D. Sprague and Jas. Fry—in our company, We prospected the Platte, Plumb Creek, Cherry Creek, and many other small streams. We found gold; but the bare color was the fruit of most of our washing. We have found as much as two cents to the pan of dirt; but such places were few and far between, and at no place could we make a dozen pans of dirt average one cent per pan. It is all very fine or wash gold. It is estimated by many that there will be 80,000 emigrants to the gold digthe expectation of making money by digging gold is destined to a great disappointment. There are those on the borders who are now preparing to fit out the dupes of their flattering accounts, that will make a great amount of money; and they alone will be greatly benefitted by this stupenduous [sic] humbug. I write this, hoping it may save some from the disappointment which they must ultimately feel if they expect to find a new El Dorado at Pike's Peak. ----- HERETICAL MORMONS.—Brigham Young has just performed the wholesale slaughter , of cutting off from communion with his i church eight hundred and sixty members . who sympathize with the (JentMes.
