THE SUMPTUARY LAWS.
Several of the northeastern cities and
States are just now scenes of rather intem
perate agitation in favor of temperance a
sort of holy war, waged by champions of to
tal abstinence against the manufacture, traf
fic, and use of alcohol. The - temperance
question, per te, is essentially a social ques
tion, and one with which few can be dispos
ed to quarrel. Is progress has been produc
tive ot an immense amount of good, and it
position at this day cannot fail to be a cause
of congratulation 'to all who feel interested in
the removnl of a great social evil. The
movement has derived its whole efficac
from its purely voluntary character. It has
meddled with no man's privileges tram
pled on no man's rights ; is friends have
had do weapons but those of common sense
argument and benevolent persuasion ; its
converts have been held together by the sit
ken cord of a common interest ; and its re
suits are amongst the ir.Oft fttiiking proof
of the ability of organizations, humble in
their beginning, to modify and amend the
customs of society.
; It is the fate of philanthropy, however, to
be often rui ired by an excess of service.
The hoe separating zeal from fanaticism is
frequently overlooked by men in'ent on
reaching a distant goal, and the oversight
proves fatal to a work which greater discre
tion would have crowned with success. In
other days, and distant xrountries, zealots
have striven to regulate faith by decrees and
legislative acts to mould creeds after their
owp model and to fix the standard beyond
which intellectual capacity should not grow.
The " blue laws" of new England puritans
are another notable instance of the lensrths
. to which good men sometimes run in their
anxiety to take care of the souls and bodies
of their neighbors. Still later there have

of Interferences different in their outward
character 'and tendencies, but proceeding
from toe same root, and j us ihed by the sam
abstract reasoning. They have all had the
sane origin and the tame end. All have
grown out of av conviction that Governmen

trial paraeise industrial, moral, and spirit

t?mPrance lo&elrei can have their way.-
ine iiiaine law is me most famousot the
whole, and isj indeed, the model according
o which the others have been framed, we
give the subjoined abstract ot the provisions,
w prepared to our hands by a New York
contemporary :
"This Maine law aavs that no nerson exeeDt a
paid agent shall be allowed la manufacture, or
sell in anyway or under any circumstance,
spirituous or intoxicating liquors of any kind or
descripion. This paid agent in to be appointed
and paid "by , he select men of any town and the
mayor and aldermen of aay city,' o sell wines,
spirits, 6te , Tor medicinal and mechanical pur
pones, and no other.' If any other person shall
sell intox k-a rag liquors, and h shall be convict-
eu ot the selling, he shall pay a hne of J10 for the
nrst offence ud the cos s ol prosecution; and il
he will not or canimt pay, he shall 'stanil chi
iii it ted' until he does pay. On the second con
vtction, he shall pay $2 and cost, or 'stand com
inittcd; on thv third nnd every subsequent con.
viction; he shall pay $20 and costs, and 'shall be'
imprisoned in the common jail not les than three
months or more than six mouths." Hie same
tines and punisuuieni are to be visited upon 'any
clerk, servant, asen'. or other person in the em
ployment or on the prtmit of another who shill
violate tiie provisions oi mis law.
"The Uw then woes on to provide for the re
covery oft he forfeitures or peuaities arising oul
of it, and it provide for it pretty stringently.
The forfeiture is to 'go to the town where the
convicted party resides, for the use of the poor
and the pr secutor or complainant may be ad
milieu as a witness on tne trial. onuld any
party see fit to appeal, he shall 'roconise in the
sum of $100, witli two good and sufficient sure
lies, m every case so appealed, to prosecute his
appeal and to pay aft costs, fine, and penalties
Uiat aay be awarded against him upon a final
disposition of smH or complaint.' And. then he

he should be convicted on appear, he 'shall pay
and suffer double Iht arnount of fines, penalties,
and imprisonment awarded against him by ihe
justice or jauge troui whose judgment the appeal
was made,' All forfeited bonds are to be put in
suit at the 'expense and for the use' of the city or
town in whtch they shall be forfeited.
"Any person mamJitelurins; spirituous or intox
icating liquors, or any common seller thereof,
unless he has been duly appointed., shall forfeit on
the first conviction $WX) and the costs of prosecu.
tion, and, ib default ot pay men', shall be lrupri

deuce in court of all other business. If three
voters shalt make complaint that they believe
spirituous liquors are hidden in any house or other
place, for sale, the same may oe seized and cr
ned off by the olice or others having authority
If the owner of the liquors thus seizfd can prove
that they were not purchased tor sale, and lie can
show 'by positive proof that they had been im
ported under the laws of ihe United States, and
that they were contained in the original packages
to which they weie imported, and in quantities
not less than the United hiatus .laws describe
they shall not be destroyed- Hut ii he run Dot
show all these things, they shall-be destroyed
and. the destruction 'thereof' is to be presided over
by a judge or justice If the owner of liquors so
seized be tr.iknown, or he do not appear in due
season, they shall be advertised, &., for a certain
sea-on.
"Any mayor, alderman, selectman, deputy, or
constable, etc., may enter 'any tent, shanty, hut
or place of any kind for selling refreshments in
iny public place on or near the ground of any
diileshow, agricultural exhibition, military mus
ters, or public occasion of any kind,'- and seize
any intoxicating drinks he can find, and take the
'keeper or keepers ot such place forthwith' before
a police justice with the liquors 'so found and
seized, and upon pi oof that the latter are intoxi
cating, they shall be destroyed, and the vender or
venders imprisoned for thirty days Under this
law, no payment need tie made for any amouo
of liquor, &c that can be obtained no payment,
'whether in money, labor, or o' her property ; and
all sales, transfers, and conveyances, mortgages,
liens, attachments, plelge?, and securities of every
kind on account of sp r.tuous and intoxicating
liquors, shall be utterly null and void against all
persons and in all cases, and no rights rf any kind
.-hall be acquired thereby.' "
One provision is omitted in this abstract,
namely, that declaring that no person engag
ed in the traffic in intox eating liquors' shall
be competent to sit upon a jury in any case
arising under the act. Tire Massachusetts
bill goes further than the Maine law in the
matter of penalties for velating this act, in
asmuch as it require the offender to give
bonds in the sum of $1,000 thatjbe will not
violate the law within one year from his con
viction. The Boston Journal sijs :
"The Maine law authorizes :he officers to
swh for liquor upon the complaint "of three
voter. The Massachusetts bill requires the
complaint of but two voters o authorize a search.
It alio allows the implements of traffic to be used
as evidence against (he person suspected. The
Maine law requires, in order that a dwelling
house may be . searched, that at least one person
tluttt ttify to some act of sale of intoxicating
liquors therein by the occupant, or by his consent
or permission. The Massachusetts bill allows a
dwelling house to be searched upon the oath or
affirmation of one of the roinpUinants that he has
reason to l-ieie and das beliepe that such sale
has taken plaee in said house, in the ca.e of
persohs arrested for selling liquor on public occa.
sion-, and apieaii,ig, the Maine law impns a an
additional penalty of $20 to the original sen ence,
f imprisonment for 30 day s J in case the complain
is sustained. The Massachusetts bill requires
him to give bonds to pay all fines and costs which
may be adjudged against him."
Independently of other considerations with
reference to these laws.arethey likely to effect
the obj ct aimed at t Is there a reasonable
probability that they will be respectedby the
community, and carried out fully and equit
ably f A negative seems the pi ope r answer
to each inquiry. "Experience in parallel ca
ses demonstrates that laws of this character
are violated with impunity every hour of the
day- that men are instinctively prompted
to evade regulations which have an inquisi
torial aspect that falsehood, perverted in
genuity, and even fraud are winked at, to
render such laws nugatory and tnat the
moral sentiment of the people is gradually
undermined by this constant conflict of
feelings and interests. The public sale of
liquors -'already sufficiently regulated by
municipal law may be altogether stopped,
but the private, individual consumption can
not be so easily arrested ; it will go on in
spite of Msine and Massachusetts laws, un
til men be satisfied by reasonable means that
the practice ihouldfce altogether abandoned
The' voluntary efforts of individuals and as-
octatioas can alone complete the work he
run by similar agencies. Sumptuary laws
will but give a hundred different forms of

very decided objections on grounds more.

' . TEXAN HEROISM. ? j
On the 20 h ultimo, a band of Americans,
Mexicans, Texans, half breeds, and Indians
terned- themselves over the Rio Grande,
with the design of capturing Camargo. That
valordui commander, Jose Carvajal, headed
the expedition and inspired it wiih the lofty
spirit of heroism, where w ith alone deeds of
ntgn emprise are achieved. While the troops
were few and untried, the event proved
them to he fit though few. Falstaff, with all
his Lancasterian zeal, refused to lead a far
more respectable force lhroujjh Coventry in
the garinh eye of day. Two or three hun
dred individuals alone pressed ben.atb. the
nvading banners Their appointments and
equipage were agreeably diversified A few
sat upon horse-tlesh, illustrative ot indistinct
ideas of property. The many strode along
upon terra firma, casting inquisitive eyes

or, retrospective, to make sure of a clear
track to the ferry. The weapons they grasp
ed were by no means confined to the mul
tiform varieties, adapted to the use of Friar
Schwartz' 8 accursed ioven ion. The indi
cations of gunpowder, however, were suffi
cient to evince the modern composition of
the party. Otherwise the end'ess confusion
of tongues might have led to the supposi

company, thus armed and ardent, moved
steadily onward, seeking oracles of fa e in
the careful countenance of Carvajal, who
was doubtless devoutly wishing himself the
while comfortably back in a Yankee college

ing the more recent experience of Narcisso

believe, those who were prepared, like a
thunder-cloud, to weep white they struck,
and morder compassionately, and violate de
corously, and plunder pitifully, through re
spect for the age in which their happy lot
had been cast. O hers, we cannot doubt,
thought only of the immortal laurels to be
won ; the deathless name ; a niche in some
Plutarch of B rder warfare. And so among
multitudinous opposing inspirations, fears and
reveries, pressed they onward to Camat
go.
Camargo, in the meantime, did not sleep
as Brussels slept, while the enemy drew
near to her wails. The goose-cackling had
been timely; and the warriors were astir a

VYell-mouoted were the breathless soldiery
ar.d the brands they bore were keenly edg
ed, and thirsting for draughts from the veins
of invading enemies. Profuse were the
blessings and aves and paters that were
showered upon them as they passed forth
from the town gates, to encounter the fierce
realities of the field. They had bul a lit le
way to ride. In a few hours thev were face
to face with the foe. It were vain to at te mo
a description of the conflict. Read of Ma

rest. At the first cbarg of the native army
one-half ot the invaders took to flight. Tb
ar'illery held its ground, enjoying the priv
ilege of firiMg one round of grape-shot, and
then yielding to a second charge of the con
tenders pro arts etfocis, the residue of that
eallant little army took to flight. Did the
story end abruptly here, it might find man
parallels in h's'ory. But ihe peculiarly was

unconscious ot their victory lhey seem
to have been astounded and terrified at the
extent of their own prowess: and for the

GEN. SCOTT THE "STANDARD."
We took occasion, a few issaej back, in de-
clarins our preference for Mr. FiLLMoaE over a
ill
others, for the Presidency, to say that we believed
both Gen. Scorranj Blr- Wbbsteb were in tavor
of tho Compromise. We find ourselves taken to
Usk by the Editor ot the "S andard,v (or express
ing this ojHiuon, so far as itappltes to Gen. Scott,
and he avails himself of the opportunity to indulge
in much demagogical cant, and to throw off a
volume of gs, which well becomes onu who is
seeking to unite the Seeess onists of the South
and the Abolitionists of the North, to secure the
spoils of offiee to his Party. Can there beany
longer a doubt on this point 1 Are not the infa
mous coalitions formed at the North between the
Democracy and Freesoilers proof sufficient ? Do
not the appeals which have been made to Van
Buren, Benton and Ranlou! on the one side, and
Quitman, Davis and Rhett on the other, expose
the game they are p'aying 1
The Edhor says, we havs no "proof" that Gen.
Scott approved the Compromise. What proof
was there thai Gen Butler approved this series
of measures until recently 1 Ye the Editor was
forhiih from the beginning, should he be the
nominee of the Baltimore Convention. Where
is the proof that Marct approves or even "ac
quiesces" in the Compromise! Ym, the Editor
will tro him should he be nominated. Cass dodg-1
ed the Fugitive Slave Law so did Douglas
yet they are "sound to the core" on this measure,
so vittl to the South, and will receive the zealous
support nf the Organ ot Loco Focoism in North
Carolina !
Ii is true Gen. Scott has, as "yet, written no
letter, endorsing the Compromise, but we have
been assured, and it was well understood m the
time, that whilst theee measures were under con
sideration before Congress, no man was more
earnest in urging their adoption It is well known
that he was present at ibe great meeting in New
York, which was called in support of the Com
promise, and made a patriotic speech, breathing a
national spirit, mid true devotion io the Union
He has been acknowledged by Whigs and Dem
oerats aa a frieifti of the present Administration,
approving the policy by which il has been gov
erned.
But the Editor may dismiss his fears. No man
can receive the nomination of the Whig Ntion:il
Convention who is not in favor of the Compro
mise as a final settlement of the Slavery question.
If Gen. Scott is opposed to it, he will not come
in gun sho of the nomination. No man, receiving
the nomination of 'he Convention, about whose
opinions, on this vital measure, there is any doubi,
can obtain the support of the Southern Whig
Party. They will' not tolerate either doubt t-r
equivocation on this subject. They will require
that the Candidate speak out plainly, and plant
himself beyond question by the side of this great
measure of pace.
Wo see pltinly what the object of the "Stan
dard'' is in thus assailing Gen So tt. Ii has
begged and prayed wiih deep toned sincerity for
' harmony" in the Lro F'ko racks. It has
hallooed lot "harmony "
'Yes. ev'u in death. "Harmony" he sung,
iform-wiy still trembled, on his tongue,
Hmnony the woods,
Harmony the floods,
Harmony tha rocks and hollow mountains rung "
But alas! all was but 'he echo of tlv Editor's
lamentations, and he seek now, by assailing the
Whigs, through Gen. Scott, to divert public at
tention from the intrigues, coalirions and dissen
sions of his own Parly ! iCan any man view these
dissensions without t.isgut t To such an extent
have they been carried, that both the Senate nod
House of Representatives have been converted
into arenas for the foulest billingsgate, and ihe
latter made the scene of a fisticuff fight which
would have disgraced a grog shop ! Oh ! ihe
"harmonious Democracy" what model teachers
ol political wisdom and decency !
0Mr. Richaroon, of Illinois, 'staled in the
House of Representatives a few days ago, that
Judge Doug as knew nothing of what the Jan
uary number of the Democratic Review contained
until he saw it in print. Before the issuing of
the February number, be did 'earn, from a gen
tleman from Vermont, Mr. Peck, that il would
contain an attack upon General Butler. Upon
learning that fact, he iinmediaily telegraphed to
ihe editor to suppress il. The editor of the Re
view wri es the following letter:
" Astor House, N.Y., Feb. 20-, 1852.
Hon. S- A. Douglas-.
Sia: I atu nappy to inform you that your tele
graph came too late to save your friend, General

ML BUCHANltf. s",
There are strong indications that Jlr. Boetaort
Will be supported in the Baltimore Convention oy
the Loco Foco Delegation from this State.. MiJ
of the primary meetings which have ueen held nave
declared a preference for him. It may not be an
profitable to refer to a few prominent points inhis
political career, so that we may the better judge
what are ihe claims of ihis favorite of ibe-t ree
trade," "Secession" Party of North Carolina .
The "HarrUburg Keystone f orthodox Loco
Foco paper) declares that be has jery,
recommend him to the Soutu on tbe Slavery
question. That print says : ,1
"At the time the Missouri question was before
Congress, wbea the nation was g,lled y" U'B
conflict, and tne issue was in doubt. Mr Bucnn
an offered the following resolutions a public
meeting in the city of Lancaster : .
"Resolved, That the Representative in Con
gress from this district be, and they are hereby
.most earnestly requested, to ue their uimow en-
4 ..r as.. .... . l.nv M YflA VHIHlliai -
to prevent the existence of slavery in any f lna

"Resolved, iTbat, in the opinion of this meeting.
the members of Gougress who at m i
iusiice. humanity and pat-
wu;. ... . .ir.r, tk inriuhictiun of slavery
into the Stale llten endtacored to be formed out vj
the Missouri Territory, are entitled to me warmest
thanks of every friend of humanity." "
What will the -fire eater8,,, who deneunce Mr.
FiLLMoaE for his early opinions on the subjecf
of slavery, say to this ? Yet, these very men who
but a short time since were ready to dissolve tbe
Union rattterrHisii submit 10 the Wilmot Proviso
being applied to New Mexico or California whilst
they were mere Urritjries. are ready to vole for a
man who, in 181 9-20-21, stood side bysid 'widi
Rufus Kiho and oiheia, in theirassauiis upou the
rights of the South, and who claimed the power
for Congress to forbid a State, not a territory, in-
traducing slavery wiihin its limits! This man is
held up as a model (or "State Rights, Secession"
advocates at tbe South to imitate, admire and
support!
The "Harrisburg Keystone" conliuuea j
"In a 4ih of July oration delivered at Lancaster
just after the close of the last war with Lngl md,
31 r.B. styled Mr Madison a man wlioprelerrea nis
private interest to the public good called hts iol-
icv 'timid and nine-serving,' 'weak and wicked'
the war 'disgraceful iu the extreme to 'he autnin

phio visionary and remarked, "we ought to use
every honest exertim to turn out of power those ,
weak and wicked men, who have abandoned the
political pah marked out f this country by Wash
ington, and whose wild and visionary theories
have been at length tested by experience and found
wanting."
He opposed Madison, denounced the War,
dubbed Jefferson "a philosophic visionary" and
proclaimed the Republicans of 1812, Msdisom
Calhoun, Crawford, Lowndes, L'lav, Jefferson.
Jackson, one and all, " ureal: and wicked men''

Whiii ot the prtseut day, who had been guilty of
such political sins, brought forward as a Candid
ate for the Presidency, he would be denounced
by the whole pack of Loco Foeo demagogues as
"a blue light Federalist." Such are tile men who
claim to be heirs to all the virtues of genuine De
mocracy ! Mr. Buchanan is indeed a fit repre
sentative of such a Pariy !
Bes des this, Mr. B. has always been the advo
cate or a high protective 1 ariff. He voted whilst
a mem!er of Congress for some of tbe highest and
most protective Tariffs ever adopted. He voted
ior that of 1832, and Was understood throughout
Pennsylvania 10 be hostile to the Free trade Ta
riff of 1846. In his recent letter on tbe subject of
the Presidency, he says not a word on this sub
ject It is but a just and legitimate inference.
that he entertains ihe same opinions on this ini
portant subject now, tltat he held in 1828, 1832
and 1842 Yet, he is the " first choice" of the
Loco Foco Party in this State for the Presidency !
Yes, the .leaders are exerting themselves 10 the
utmost to drill ihe People into the support of one
whose whole political iile hnabeen devoted to the
doctrine of Protection ! "Buchanan and Strange
is to be the ticket! A full blooded, ami-War,

and becoming symbol ofthe harmonious and con
sistent Democracy !
No doubt the Organ will discover many beau
ties in it!

We never heard that he (Mr. Fillmore) robbed

We have an honest man, a gentleman and
Christian for President, then ! We are really
afraid the Editor of the "Standard" will come out
for Fillmore, before "JDemoOatic harmony" is re
stored ! He has been locking at his ' hard-cider"
and "iog cabin" regimentals of 1840, and they
have, no doubt, roused up alii lie of thai "virtuous
enthutdam" which has been lying dormant ever
since he assumed the "coat f many cokra" man'

lions involved. Of these gen;Iemen, the prospect
ofFilImoro and Scoit are decidedly the most flat,
tering. To ascertain definitely the past and pre
sent position of Gen. Scott upon these important
measures, I visited him last Wi-ek, having had the
pleasure of a previous acquaintance. In 0ur
conversation, I remarked toJiim, that with manr
VVhigs of the South his position Waathougln am
biguous. or indeed, they were -not cognizant 0f
it. He observed, that of this be hsd been inform- -ed,
and-the intelligence, to him, ivia b.,th paiufut

as follows? "1 have in my day and iteration
fought battles which have gained ior our common
country some little renown and glory. These tiuw
ever, may have been won by other men, or, if
lost, would have been repaired by ihe indomita
ble chivalry of our brave soldiery: But the great
b-iitle which you are fighting, involves ail that

he addressed to Mr. Webster irumediatelv succee.

measure, out the above is its subsiance. But
this is nol all. "Did I not.". id he. 'durui" their

Besides, there is extant the most incontestible
proof, that had it not teen for my humble aid and
influence, the compromise measures could not,
by a vote of from five to ten. Irave passed the House
ui Represeu tali ves." Such is me substance of
what he said. The publication of these facia is
due lo Gen. Scott ; ior the ignorance of tnem has
abated the ardor of fiis friends in the Soutti, and
aggravated the aspersions of his enemies."
Again, we extract he following from die
"Washington Republic," the organ of Mr. Fill
more's Administration, of the 3rd ol June, 1851.
The Editor don bUess tpoke upon sufficient au
thority " s tiU first and foremost among
his (Gen. Scott') claims to the gratitude an(j r.
pest to his country, that he laboted Ior a period
as warmly and earnestly as Mr. Clav himself, to'
bring .bout ihe passage of this very series .,f
measures, wh-ch has crowned the great states
man of Kentucky with the brigiitest and ureenwt
laurels that circle bis venerable btow. And in
justice to Gen. Scott, we feel called upn to add
that there is no man in the Republic, who lias ex
pressed hunse!! m xvAaMfei and rtforc iMPiu-nc
language in commendati.m ol that policy ot Pru
dent Fillmore, which has been so cordially and
unre8ervejy endorsed wiih ihe confidence of the
Wings of Petiusylvnia."
Again, we say, the Whig Convention will nom
inate no man who is not sound on the Compro
mise ! If Gek. Scott's opinions have undcrg n
any change from what lhey are represented lo be
in tne above extracts, he can't gel the nomination ;
the Whigs of ihe South will not support him!
So far as this journal is concernedit he is op

imperative duty to opp.,8a his election, to the ut
most of our humble abilities !
