To t'i( friends f I., temperance in the V. S. grcfting: Wnerees great and u n necessary efforts have for

t-ie b.st few years been made for the promotion oi temperance, bv persuading men to abstain en'.ire-

taxation is thereby imposed, upon the public in the support of paupers, ilut in examinm this mode of levy in? and collecting revenue, a further and more important consideration is presented. If' it be true as is generally estimated and believed by those havin? the bi-st means of knowledge up-

. j on the subject, that three fourths of'.he crime winch

becomes the subject of judicial investigation, has

its origin in the excessive use ot mto.xieati.ig liquors, it follows necessarily th?t three fourths the expense of these prosecutions are chargeable to the same cause. As a means of raising revenue, therefore, this system of licensing shopkeepers to retail spirituous liquors, is wholly indefensible. lb.

THE WINE QUESTION. The discussion of this question is calling forth

much talent and learning in some ofthe eastern papers. The human mind is prone to extremes and we fear that on this subject, some have gone into extremes, which may be injurious to the temperance cause. It is not our design to meddle much with the discussion, for we think the interest of the temperance cause in the west would nor be much benefitted thereby. We have ye' to contend for the ground which we at present occupv. We, therefore, doubt the policy of taking positions which, tosav the least, mav he attacked with much
