Cutting of New York, and Breckenridge of &y., originated in a sharp controversy between the two, upon Mr. C's. motion to refer the Nebraska bill to tit committal of the whole. Mr. B. charged tht mover with duplicity towards tht bill that although he pretended to be friendly to it, hit proposition meant and intended it harm.

In connection with the office, the following) names are mentioned: Pettit, Fitch, J. j 12. McDonald, Gov. Wright, J. H. Lane, j Lafayette is always liberal with her aspirants on such occasions. Ever ready, and with an abundance in reserve she presents three in the above list. With her present formidable array, she still has in reserve, Jo.

Three men were killed by the explosion of a Locomotive blonging to the New Albany and Salem Railroad, near Providence on the line, on the 24th ult. The eiplosion was caused by an attempt to put on too much steam. The Maine Law has been introduced into the California Legislature. Gov. Seymour of New York has vetoed the prohibitory liquor law which receutly passed the legislature of that State by a respectable majority.

legitimate ouspring 01 me same maunant spirit, it is astonishing lo see ualions professing Christianity erecting ar senals, and manufacturing implements of death, and rearing scafi'olds and looping the death halter on their brothers' neck. It is not at all eurp.-ising that men should acquiesce with their animal propensities iu the absence of reflection; but it is strange that a Christian people will ' be such puissant hypocrites; professing to be followers of Christ, and at the same time acting directly counter to his precepts by vainly attempting to overcome evil with evil, by hanging the evil doer. The layman, and even tLe minister in the tacred desk will pray God to forgive their trespasses as they forgive those that trespass against them; virtually asking to be forgiven in the same manuer that the homicide is forgiven when the rope is put about his neck and he is hanged till he is dead, dead. dead. Those who believe in unconditional salvation and damnation are generally the most ultra advocates of Capital punishment, and this is )uite natural, for the two principles are akin. All the difference is, hanging kills in a few minutes, but the other, (some say) kills eternally but never kills. But some try to exculpate themselves from responsibility by saying, ,they have no part in the execution of the culprit on the scaffold: the hangman executed him." The wheels of a railroad car carry their burden too, but not without a propelling power. The hangman would not execute the prisoner if he was not compelled by the law, and every man that has the right of suffrage and is not opposed to Capital punishment, is as much guilty of the murder of the prisoner on the scaffold as the officer id that inflicts the penalty of the law. COSMOPOLITE. For the Banner. A Prohibitory Law To Observer. Other matters having closely occupied my mind, 1 have been unable to answer Observer, until the present time. In the first place my friend complains, that a communication published by h.m some months ago in the Burner, has not been noticed, and intimates that my communication though naming no one, was aimed al him iu en underhanded way. A few words here, by way of explanation. My communication on a prohibitory law, was written in the latter partof last summer, four months at leuat before Observer wrote anything upon the subject. This is not all. 1 have never seen the communication, which he conceives to have beeu so much slighted. 1 did not know of its existence, until I was informed of the fact by Mr. Burns. Now for Observer's second communication. My friend evidently desires to be noticed, and his wish shall be gratified. In ouswer to my argument that drunkards will be manufactured so long as intoxicating liquors are sold, he inquires, well, who is to bltmeF' Answer; Blame, under these . circumstances may be attached to different localities. 1st. Tht drunkard is to blame. I do uot pretend to justify hiui in giving way to intemperate; habits. 2J. The tiqaor seller is to blame. He has no right lo follow an employment, which so deeply injures the morals, the peace, and the welfare of society. Thia is going beyond the scope of his right. 3d. Tht citizen of a commonwealth cannot suffer drunkenness to prevail and spread at its present alarming rate, without incurriug shame. From them all law emenates. If bad laws exist, they can repeal them. It tht laws are insufficient to hold evil doers in check, the deficiency can bt supplied. Suppose then, that all laws tending to restrain the vicious, were swept from our code, and tht floodgates of crime opened. Would not our citizens, or a majority of them at least, be culpable? Btcaus society hat claims upon them tor protection. They have political duties to discharge. By thtii political influence, they can benefit or injure the entire commonwealth. Should they not then, throw their influence in favor of laws which will protccttht veak, which will suppress vice and promote the gfneial good of society! If the? it in-1

flucnce is thrown into the opposite scale.

lhev rtainty will incur blame, because uiouie can dc incurred ior wrong pouucai action, as well as for other actions. Well, here is the liquor trafic, which rollt a deep flood of vice and woe, and death upon community. By the passage of a prohibitory law, this deadly fouutain will be cut off. Such a law, (as was observed in my former communication) j comes within the acope and dciign of all law. Society has the rigt to protect itself against practices of a pernicious tenlency, and this light should be exercised. ; If then, druukcurss continue to draw ! our youth and others by thousands into its vortex, will not blame rest upon those j who can slop the evil but will uot do it? iThis questron is submitted lo the reflectj iug and candid. j The same reasons exist for the passage I of a law which will suppress the sale of ! intoxicating liquors, as exist for the pas- : sage of other laws. Why, for instants, ; is gambling prohibited? Most obiculy I because its influence is poisonous and ' contagious. Why not put down gamblers i and gaming establishments, by "giving I them a tremendous letting alone?" The reason is evident; they cannot be put j down in this way. Some, in spite of all j that parental influence and moral suasion can do, will be allured. The young j and inexperienced will be drawn along by degrres, until the habi t of gaming becomes fixed. Exactly so with rumselling. Horrible as drunkenness is, mankind are strongly prone to contract this vice. So 1"0 as intoxicating liquors air sold, th rising generation an t others are in dancf intoxicating liquors Observer intimates that his way of put ting down liquor venders, is to withdraw all patronage from them. This would do very well if all were like the Fkiesds. On the same principle, if all would do right, laws of every kind might be dispensed with. But some will not do right, hence the necessity of laws to restrain them. M) friend's argument is as conclusive against all airs which tend to restrain the vicious, as it is against the putting down of runisellioj by lvgal suasion. W. Plymouth, March 25. 1S51. Oar Prairies. Tho groat prairies ot tho west oro thus spoken of, by a ialo English traveler: 'Tho word prairio iade-'ived from tho French f and signifies tnoaduw. In America it mean gr.tss-lnnd naturally freo from timber, and is ucu ;a this sense by me. Prarics havo not been Sund in tho eastern parts of North America, and mnny conjectures exist regarding their Cngm in tho west. Gradually passing from ie forests and oik opening of Michigan, it was not until aftey crossing tho river Des Piaines that I beenmo futlv sensible of the beauty nnd sublimity of tho prairies. They cmbraco cvory toxture of soil nnd outlino of surfaco, nnd aro sufficiently undulating to prevent tho stagnation of water. The herbnge consists of trill grass interspersed with flowering plants of every hue, which succeed each other as the season advances. The blossoming period was nearly over at the time of my journey. Sunll wers wero parliculaily numerous, and almost all the plants had yellow blossoms. Every day brought me in contact with species formerly unobserved while others with which I had becomo familiar, disappeared. Occasionally, clumps of trees stood on tho surface, liko islands in tho ocean. Tho bounding forest pro jected and recedoJ in pleasing forms, and the distant outlines appeared graceful. I had no time for searching O Jt and studying scenery, and perhaps conceptions of beauty and grouping of trees, (ormod in tho artificial pcIukjI of Britain, nro inapplicable to tho magnificent tcalo on which naturo hath adorned the country between Chicago nnd Springfield. Tho works of man aro mero distortions compared with thoso of nature, and I have no doubt many prairies, containing hundreds of square miles, exceed the finest English parka in beauty as much as they d j in extent. Sometimes 1 found myself in the midst of ati area without n tree or object of any kind within lhe range of vision; the sur face, clothed with interesting vegetation around me, npparirg liko a si, suggested ideas which I had not then the means of recording, nnd which cannot b recalled. The wide expanso appeared as the gift of God to man for tho exorciso of his industry; and thero being no obstacle to immediate cultivation, nature seemed inviting tho husbandman to till tho soil, nnd partako of her bounty. A young woman of Hightstown N. J. was married last Thuradny week under unusual circumstances. Tlio Monmouth Democrat says she had fivo suitors, to each of whom she engaged herself, appointing, with each, tho sama day for tho ceremony. At tho time fixed oil the lads were on hand; and ths mngektrato who was to perform the cnreinony was present. The maiden had tiot made up her mind fully as to who should be made her happy lord, when lhe magistrate requested-the couple to stand up; as if driven to desperation, she bounced on her feet, gave one of the boys' n nudge with her fool, and before tho others had recovered from the afttouishment, tho knot was tied. Tho scene that ensued is said to have bocn peculiarly interest ing. Two men were engaged in catching driftwood near Uniontown, Ky.,lastThursday morning, when one of lliein accidentally foil in and was runnderby a large log. His associate in attempting to ret cue him, was caught by the hair by tho drowning man and both went down. their bodies were found tlio next day two mil03 below, clinging togi thcr,

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA, Halifax, March 29. Tho Canada arrived this P. M. with Liverpool dates to the lS:h.

Tho screw steamship City of Manchester nrrived out on tho 15th March, having met with many icebergs and fields of ice. The Niagnra had relumed from Malta, and will again go out with troops. The Cambria had also returned. The Taurus was to sail with troops on the day the Canada lefi. Ships were fitting out tit Liverpool to convey triwps. The Baltic, from N. Y. March 4, had not arrived when our despatches closod, ml as sho was in her fourteenth day out, much anxiety waa felt. The report by the City of Mmchosrer of extensivo ice fiolds causod apprehension that tho Baltic might havo receivod damage thereby. As regards hostilities, affairs remain nearly ns they were. From Asia thero was nothing new. Th public expettation now looks to tho Baltic. Kala fat continued to be strengthened. The fleet continues at Beycos Bay, and the Russian at Sebastnpol. It is reported that the first operation of the Anglo French army will be to attack Crimea. Troops will land nt l'ulnklavn to attack Sebnatnpol by land, whilo tho fleets attack it by ten. The Russians were fortifying various place3 on tho Black St& and the interior lowns. The Czar's reply could not arrive from St. Petersburg before tho 16.h or 18:h of March. In tho House of Commons, Mr. Gibson had moved an address, praying that, in ease of war, her Majesty would give directions to abstain from interference with vessels bearing neutral flngs not containing contraband munitions of war. Ho &j So suggested tho policy of entering into a similar treaty with tho United States and othor counties. Viekxa, M.vch 15.

Berlin, Friday Tho Grand D"ko has inspocted the fleot in the Holespor.!, The Emperor was expected in a fortnight. Tho Sweedish papers report that 20,000 Russians are employed in cutting a channel from Cmnstanlto Swasborge. The Coasting Trade bill has been read a third time in tho House of Lords. The trial of tho Martha Washington conspirators, in Arkansas has been post, poned until the 17th of April, to give time to sccuro tho attendance of witnesses.

Wasiiiscstos, March 30. The difficulty between Messrs. Cutting and Breckenridge remains in the same unsatisfactory state which it was iu last evening. Matters have been so consummately arranged, that nothing has leaked cut beyond the fact that most strenuous e Torts are being made to prevent the dutl. Both parties remain concealed. Hence it is presumed the difficulty has not been settled. The Fief Farm Bill. The free farm bill, we are happy to say, passed the House last week, by a vote as gratifying as triumphant.
