VEVAY:

THURSDAY,... MARCH IG, 1854.

Oor Proximity (o the City.

When the Covington and Louisville Railroad is completed, running through our neighboring village, near the bank of the river, we will be within a two hours ride of either Cincinnati or Lonisville.— This will be of great advantage to the citizens of this place. By our present system of traveling, viz: by steamboat, it takes six or seven hours to reach cither city, and frequently much longer—to say nothing of the great delay and loss of time occasioned by the uncertainty and irregu* hrity of oar water crafts. We have on several occasions waited long enough on the whatf for a boat to come, to get to Cincinnati by railroad. With the advantage of a steam ferry boat, it will bea;pleasanurip to Cincinnati fri the morning; ami return home after dinner.

Farmers Tarn Out

1/The. Switzerland County Central Committee have secured the services of Mr. Corns, a gentleman who has had much experience Ip 'lecturing,, to canvass this county and apeak on the subject of Temperance. His appointments may be read in another column.

We hope that there will be a general attendance at these meetings. We have bad the pleasure of heating Mr. C. speak, and confident .arc that his lectures will prove interesting to nil who attend, and do the cause o( Temperance much good. !f the friends, where appointments are made, will exert themselves a good attendance may be had at all the meeltraents. We hope to.be able to attend the appointments in the upper part of the county.

. We had almost forgotten to state, that the ladies are earnestly requested to attend these appointments, and thereby lend “aid ami comfort" to this glorious cause.

The Maisc Law is the New York Legislature. —The Senate have just agreed to the.report of the Whole on the bill for the suppression of intemperance by a vole of 17 yeas and 10 nays. A correspondent of die Tribune, under date .of the 7th,* says: "The friends oi the law in the, Senate ate now in caucus, deliberating whether they will substitute the word December for Augustan the bill for the suppression of intemperance on its final passage, and I am assured by wliat 1 deem good authority, that they hare been longer in maturing the bill than was anticipated by its friends, when it was reported, and because they intend that brewers and distillers shall not have cause to •ay* they had no. time to wind up their nefarious business,"

Rev. E. W. Jackson, lias been appointed a General Lecturer, by the State Central Committee, to travel over the Slate and wake up the pcnple on the subject of a Piohibitory Law,

Gentle lady I bare never

Looked within thy kindling eye, And yet I'm dreaming ever Of thy gifted spirit high; Within whose depths are hidden Gems of Poesy's rarest mould. Which, like magic wealth when bidden,

All their beauties do unfold. For I know within the closures

Of thy deep and loving heart. Lies a world of living treasures That unnumbered joys impart. There wild fancy’s flowers are growing By the streams of thought that wind, Through the vale of genius glowing In the sunlight of the mind.

There the pearls of truth are flashing In their pristine beauty high, All the clouds of error dashing From the light of reason’s sky. There, too, in that realm of beauty, That pure inner world of light— Shine the stars of love and duty Unobserved by earthly blight.

Ahl and lady time is weaving '' A bright coronet of fame, Of the gems to earth thou’rt giving Which shall yet adorn thy name. ’Tis a chaplet of more value Than & kingly burnished crown, For wealth of mind alone can win The star-wreath of renown. Wauiw, Ky, t March 0, 1854.

On motion, Messrs. J. B. I.athrop.Dr. T. C, Cale. J. K. Harris, E. llafford and J, M. Colton were appointed to nominate a central committee for the county. Mr. Curtis, from Ohio, being present, was invited to address the convention. He responded to the call in a brief but interesting and excellent speech. Convention then look a recess of forty minutes.

2 o'clock, p. m,

Convention again met and called to order. Rev. J. B, Laihrnp, on behalf of the commiliea lo nominate a crqltal committee, reporied the following, vit. Messrs. H. Wason, Enos Littlefield, Perrit Dufour, P. S. Sage, and J. B. Lathrop. Report accepted. The committee on resolutions reported, and aftprsome amendment and discussion, the following resolutions of the recent slate temperance convention were adopted by (this convention wjih scarcely a dissenting vote:—

Resolved, That, as friends of ibe Great Temperance Reform assembled in convention in Switzerland county, for whose intellectual advancement, motal purity, socia] enjoyment, political rights and future destiny, as citizens, we teel an abiding in* tercel —we would express to the Source of all Good our unfeigned thanks for the success which has so far attended our la* bora, and invoke a continuance of His wisdom to and power to sustain us* until a cause so just shall have attained universal sway. Resolved, That as Intemperance is the scourge of our land —the foundation of crime, the source of untold social and political evils—the ever present foe of human happiness, invading alike the cottage of the poor and the princely home of the wealthy—robbing the Pulpit, the Bar, the Bench, and the forum of their brightest ornaments, and by corrupting the purtty of the Elective Franchise, endangering the stability, if not the vety existence of our free institutions. There foie it becomes the duty alike of the Patriot, the Philanthropist and the Christian to unite their efforts to accomplish its utter overthrow.' * ’

Resolved, Thai the manufacture and sale as a beverage, stand as the fountain of the great vice of Iniempetance, and open the streams that are sweeping thousands aud tens of thousands to destruction —that the great army of drunkards that now disgrace our land are the legitimate fruits of such business, and a living exhibition of the character of its deeds. Resolved , Thu from the efforts heretofore exerted—unparalleled io the history of any moral reformation—we had hoped that a blow had been given to intemperance which would have prostrated it forever. But to counteract all the moral force which had been brought to bear upon it, upon almost every street, highway and byeway, throughout our St e, stand the rallying poit.l- of intemperance, claiming and receiving protection from the law. A law which we believe to bo not only at war with the best interest* of the people,, but contrary to the express provision of the cdililitutian of our Slate which enjoins ttjjon ‘ the General Assemblyto encourage by all suitable, meini moral and intelleeioal imbroirement. and wholly in opposition to the wishes of a large majority of the people of the Slate. Resolved, Thalasit has been conceded by the People! in the adoption of our con* atilutioMhai thegreat end hereof is, "that justice be established, public order maintained, and liberty perpetuated;" and "that all power U Inherent in the People, anti that all free governments are, and of right ought to be founded on their Minority, instituted for their peace, safety and wellbeing;" it is to that cherished instrument

we look aa the palladium of our rights— 1 ami ai the effects of the manufacture and sate of intoxraling liquors aa a beverage,! re to prevent justice, subvert order, destroy liberty, interrupt peace, endanger safety 4* jeopard our well being, we demand as a right, tbe enactment and enforcement of a law that will avert these calamities, and secure to us and posterity the rich blessings so clearly expressed in our Bill of Rights.

Resolved, That no prohibitory law will satisfy the Temperance sentiment of this conniy which does not contain the principles of seizure, confiscation and destruction of liquors kept for illegal sale. Resolved , That the principles for which we contend are and have been recognised by* all civilized Governments, as well as by the Divine Government, as fundamental to the existence and well being of Society.

Resolved, Thai, attached as we are to our respective political parties, Vre have no disposition to interfere with thrir organization; but, we distinctly declare, that we will not vote for any candidate fur the Legislature of any parly who is not fully committed in favor of the principles avowed in the two preceding resolutions. Resolved, That in view of the high moral bearings of the Temperance question, we deem it peculiarly the duly of Ministers of the Gospel to interest themselves iii the progress of this good cause. And we respectively solicit them to bring this subject before their respective congrer gations as often at they can make it convenient.

On motion of Mr. P. Do four, Resolved, That the Convention, recognizing the con* trolling power of female influence in the promotion and direction of sound public opinion, do respectfully and earnestly in* vile the cooperation of all females in the accomplishment of the great and benevolent purposes of the temperance portion of our county/ * Dr. Gale piesented the following: Btsolved. That the yearly destruction of about 99,000,000 worth of grain by distillation in the United States, is a great national evil and ought to be opposed by evp?y philanthropist and Christian. On motion, the Central Committee was requested to secure (he services of Mr. Curtis for a few weeks, as a temperance lecturer in this county. The.convention then adjourned.

S. WASHER, Pres. John C. Bonhim, Stc'y.

The Indians.

The Indians in Nebraska Territory are rapidly preparing to vacate (heir lands in favor of the white settlers, who are about emigrating to that country in large numbers. By the oudines 'of a late treaty, the Omsha tribe have entered into arrangements to sell eight million acres ol their land; the Ottoes have also agreed to dispose of between two and three million acres, and a delegation of Indians are now in Washington, [negotiating for the sale of ilieir domain- A few years hence, and the Territories of Nebraska and Kansas will be covered with the domicils and growing crops of industrious white men, who, by their votes, will forever settle the question which is now so intensely agitating the people of the Union and their representatives in Congress, with regard to that region of country.

Natural Laws.—The late census developed many curious facts. In regard to the numerical laws which govern the sexer, it showed that there are more mates than females born, by about four per cent; at twenty years of age there are more females than mate: at forty the balance is again in favor of the mates; and at the age of three-score years and ten, the numbers of the two sexes are about even. Beyond this age, the probabilities of hmgeviiy ate much greater in favor of women than of men. At the time of taking the census, there were 480 American women above 100 years of age.

(£r An analysis of the Nebraska vole in the Senate, shows 14 yeas fall Demo, cratlc) from the free States; 23 yeas from the slave Stales, (14 democrats and 0 Whigsj—l3 nays from the free and 3 from the slave Slates —14 in all, of which 7 were Whigs, 2 Free Sailers, and 5 Democrats. There were absent 5 Whigs and 4 Democrats, not including Toombs, of Georgia. Of the absentees, it is understood that fi would have voted no and 3 yes, had they voted at all, making the vote 40 to 20.

Tub Poor-—Del the evils growing from the use of strong drink cease, and calls of the poor for aid would be so inconsiderable that the . benevolent would have to be diligent to fin d objects of charjty. If the working classes would only spend In food, clothing, and the education of their children, what they now waste upon strong drinks, they wottld possess the wealllr of the nation—or rather they would so increase it, as to be truly independent, ' t - - - - - * ******^^^^^*^
