NO 25 (CORBES PONDENPe OF THE COMMERCIAL.) ! New York. Feb. 19. 1852. I ' Ac ear cold day. with a population n;ov- jng as if they were working by the job. Last evening at Tipler Hull there was a long and loud eureka for the Maine Liquor law. . J It was the great festival of the National Temperance League, culled by the Malig- panis rThe Holy Alliance of Temperance." The tickets to the banquet, in the main body of the Hall, were $3 for each person, but 50 cents apiece for those who were con tent to partake only of " The feast of rcasorii and the flow of eouI;" as auditors in the gal lery, ji. . Haying a distaste for public supper-tables, I repaired with some friends to the "'Dress Circle'' as it is denominated to distinguish it from another gallery ahove. Wejre you ever in Tripler Hall (now called Metropolitan) when illuminated to the full of Us capacity ? It beats the world, not only in capaciousness and elegmt ornament but for its ! amount of gas-light. Every jot of gas was now jn full blaze. The ample dais, or platform at the apper end of the room, which Jenny Goldsehmidt and her phalanx of musicians occupied at the Lirid advent, was now covered with tables li ' and seats for orators who were not to "dis course eloquent music" but eloquent argu raentsjfor the cause of Temperance. Below, fixor beven tables extended the entire length of the h;dr-, affording seats for about 800 peo ple. A fair proportion of thse were ladies and afew children. Among these, though evidently of the middling class (which 1' re gard sis the best) quite a number were dress ed fashionably and even gaily. The; "AUeghauians," a musical corp., had a place on the dais. m a number of ladies. The presence of the fair relieved the sup per scene from the piggish aspect common at gander parties. Av the right of the little man who presi ded, sat the tall and rather corpulent form, General Sam Houston, u'hpio while, hair and head partly bald made him look 'o he about 03. He was dressed with exquisite pro priety j for his age and figure, and many, I ' suspect, before they discovered his identity, took him to be some good old bober-sided quaker. During his speech, subsequently, the venerable man affirmed thatdie was ;'ex artlv What he seemed.'' but I would not help thinking ol his many mad pranks in younger days. To the right of General HJ were Hon. Neal Dow (Mayor of Portland-and another of the famous Maine Liquor Law) Rev. T. L. Cuvlsr of Trenton, N. J.. Rev. Mr. Tree ver'the author of Deacon Giles "Distillery" nnd bndry other 'distinguished jentlemen unknown to me. At the president's left, sat the Hon. Horace Mann, whose fame obtain ed in the Secretaryship of the Board of Edu- ca'ionj in Massachusetts, and subsequently tnrnisljied by his bitter assaults upon Daniel Webster, has a fair prospect of recovering its forper brightness by hie fearless and ef ficient! encounters with the demon of intcm- persnce. Th Hon. Senator is a tall slim, ..man with hng gray hair but not bald, though he is GO years :o!d, or more, and has lost some of his front teeth, which impairs his utterance. He has siilonjj narrow ' hfintl.'' inthir iMi ;n ttif frontal region ; and he often wears snecta dps. j j To his left was the great Barnum, planted on one side by a huge Orthodox Ueraryman. named Howe, (who in virtue of !s stentorian voice was Toast Master) and 0 the other by" hjs "ghostly adviser," the ""' icomplectioned, round-faced and round k'liie I Mr. Chapih, the Samson Agonistes of "e Universalis, a jolly good fellow, and tte of the bpst ornlnra nf mndprn timpa f hen. l h ppp a t TKn r k u liiadelpliia.

It was a soj"t of an Indian camp meal with the General' on his riht, and the two Senators soon became playful over the mottoe,- extracted from Uie cockles. Whether the Geneial's flow of ideas was obstructed bybis hasty but substantial meal, I cannot say, but his opening speech was by no means brilliant , i He intimated that in his' own person he had never used liquor to excess. Barn ! i'O Gen eral ! u In vino Veritas " and there should be truth in cold water, too ! Or havn't you drank enough from the well during the past ten years, to equip to the truth which iseaid to be at the bottom ? I would not allude to this, but the General is the last man lin j the world who ought to boast. The best thing said by the member from Texas, was an anecdote in ridicule of those who profess that they drink because they know wi-ere to stop." An acquaintance, whose hiccup betrayed a slight, degree ot in ebriation, in conversation with him, declined to join a temperance society, though "J he ad mitted that he had an appetite for ' liquor. 4iIt was a habit, he said, I can control, and when I find I can?t control it, (hiccup) I'll quit it, but as long as I find I c.ui control it (hiccup) I won't quit it !" ' Gen. Houston received three cheers at the outset, and grent applause throughout. The "Alleghanians" on live platform, and a band in the gallery, interspersed the speech.es and sentiments with capital songs and music. Hon. Horace Mann was witty as , he al ways aims "to be. Few are more brilliant, but I dislike to see it in an old map, whor ought to be thinking of his grave. He alluded to the fact that some rum had been recently smuggled info Maine in a enflj.

Better pour the rum into the gutter than to pour it down thethroat oil your son or husband, and then throw both into the gutter He couldn't finish without an allu sion to Webster. ' A letter was read from Col. E. T. Snow, of the Legislature at Albany. annpuncng that about 300.000 names had been received there from different parts of the State, pray ing for a total abolition of the traffic, whole sale and retail, in intoxicating drinks. Rev. Mr. Cayler. of Trenton, N. J., a lit tle, brilliant, black-eyed man'... with aslight Yankee intonation and manner, kept the au dience in a roar (for the few minutes occu pied by each speaker) by his vit and anec dote. Rev. John Chambers, of Philadelphia, made a few earnest and humorous remarks, which were much cheered. ''He began al ready, he said, to pity the ti pics' prospective oss of their groggeries, for they would hang disconsolately around their old haunts, like so many calves bleating after-their mammies. It would throw; the liquor sellers out of busi ness, but theV could get something to do, chimney-sweeping, or some other ' respecta ble employment.1" The p-esentation of the gold medal by the Society, to Neil Low. through Gen. Houston, was well done, and the recipient alter disclaiming any merit of his own, made a good speech touching the operations of the la w in Maine,' , In fact I thought his the best speech of the evening. I came away about ten o'clock. leaving Rev. E. Ii. Chapin making a (Speech, which was received with . enthasiastic approval." I learn that-he was followed by Faiher Tayr lor. Rev. R. W. Beecher, P. Tj" Barnum, Rev. J. B. Wakely. Rev. T. A. Corey, and Rev. J. A. Hagany. ' Thus ended this long anticipated Temper ance demonstration, and it cannot .fail to be ! i felt throughout the State. ' GOVERNOR FOOTE. ' The report of the withdrawal of Governor Foote. as a candidate for United States Sen ator, is confirmed by a letter to his friends in the Mississippi Legislature, in which he says: ; Being unwilling to,particinate iin the res ponsibility of defeating the election for the station altogether, and tfius permitting a va cancy to arise in the Senatorial representation from Mississippi in Congress, which vvould have to continue for nearly twelve months, it is my decided wish that my name should no longer be used in connexion with the place in question, if it is judged by my friends the friends of " the Union that . its withdrawal would tend in the least degree to expedite the election of a United Slates Senator from Mississippi." ' CRITICISM AN UNPRECEDENTED CALA'MITY AT LONG CREEK. , To the Editor of the Commercial. Sir: I beg leave to make through the medium of your respectable paper, a lew re marks rega:dinnr some' statements and con elusions drawn by a writer styled "Monos" in t ie columns of a late number of the Jour- ! nal. The writer asserts that "owinr to the Workings of a harrow minded prejudice" the public Academy contemplated at Lon? Creek Jias not been built Now prejudice, accord ing to its derivation, is a forejudging, an opinion taken up aforehand ; or, ' in other words, it is .-a judgment formed before the subject matter thereof has been well weigh ed or considered, and generally implies dis like. Prejudice must, of courserhave an ob- iject which, in the case of ihe Academy must J be either person or education. The writer. then, imputes a" narrow minded prejudice ' do not suppose there is any other; kind) to certain gentlemen in the neighborhood of Ljong Creek, and attributes the failure of the Academy, to its workings or effervesence in their narrow mind; a grave imputation sure ly. That the failqre of the proposed Acade my is not to be attributed to a prejudice, is in my opinion very easily proved. That j gentlemen, who are great abettors of educa tion, and who are taking great pains, com paratively speaking, to educate their children." snould or could be at tne same time preju diced to education is morally impossible. But those gentlemen, who come under the 'writer's censure, are great abettors of edu cation and are taking great pains to educate the;r children. Therefore it is morally im possible that those gentlemen, should or jcould be prejudiced against education, and where fore it is equally impossible that the writer's statement can be true. Besides, as a proof of their zeal in thel cause of education, those gentlemen have bpen most active in fitting up in the Masonic Hall at Long Creek an ample and spacious apartment, appropriated to the duties of a peimanent public school, to the erection and completion of wliich the writer himself bears testimony. Away then, with such a charge and with prejudice, that ugly narrow thing. Now for iogjcal conclusions. The writer after attributing the failure of the- Academy lo the workings of a narrow minded preju dice, jumps to this conclusion j "and thus the blessings of a good cducatipnal course have been lost to the rising generation of the coun try around." There is logic for you ! Let us-see how it wjll look in a syllogistic dress. Where a house has not been built in a cer tain place, at a certain time, by certain indi viduals, the blessings of education, pa bad education being no education are lost to the rising generation around. But such a house, under such circumstances has not been built at Long Creek. Therefore, the blessings of education are lost to the rising generation o Long Creek and its adjacent country. Mr. Editor, what kind of logic do you think that is? I think it might be vulgarly, termed, chopped or jumping. Did any one ever so identify the blessings of education with a house or the building1 of one ? The writer must certainly be a great adept in Metaphysics, to discern such depen dency and relation ; but perhaps he is rather a little superstitious and thinks there are some lucky spots for houses, and does not altogeth er mean that the blessings of education could not be dispensed from another house just as well as from the proposed Academy; if so, he deserves to be overlooked and only smiled on for his simplicity . But '"Monos," because he. in view of the ample and spacious apartment alluded to above; pt silively concludes that the blessings ol education are lost, &c, a house under certain circumstances not having been built must either think there are some Incky spots for houses, and thus entails on himself the imputaljoi of silly superstition; or must wish io make it appear he had an interview with the Genius of Education himself, who in formed him he' would preside over no other house save that which had been in contempla tion. and th.t.since iaconsequence of the work ings of 'a narrow-minded prejudice, that one could or would not be buiit,lie would aban don Long Creek altpgether, and leave al'ter him a dark, gloomy cloud of ignorance hov ering over that unfortunate village and its adjacent country, during the natural life of its ill-fated rising generaiion. This may be all a quixotic affair, but il it be real, what a fastidious creature this Ge nius of Education must be ! How vengeful and choleric ! And.above all, what an ap palling calamity menta) darkness for so long a time I What a strange and awful predicament for any place or persons to be involved in ! The writer unfortunately' does not positively define the limits of the influ ence of this mental eclipse, and consequently leaves many in deep anxiety. It may extend all over New Hanover, which is very proba ble indeed, from the words of the text "ajl the adj icent country around." It will evi dently be darkest and densest at Long Creek. Wo, then, to the youth of that strangely cur sed village I You gentlemen of the "mystic tye," who have been at such pains in fitting up a suitable residence, as you thought, fur this strange genius, have 1 1 bored in vain, for he has abandoned your neighborhood and gone. I suppose, to some less prejudiced lo cality. The sun of knowledge has gone down below the horizon of Long Creek, never more to visit with his genial light its benighted generation. Let us see now how editors.1 stationers, preachers and teachers, will be affected by this calamity. In the first place, I think it is very clear that, when the adult part of this generation will have passed away, there will be no demand for newspapers and books; for the obtuse intellects of the young fblks will negative the exertion? of the teacher. r aid the insensible inojance will sup.ersedr necessity tor preachers; the tormer. tlcrefore raayae as well throw their caps at th business, and the latter ride off to some otlr place. This will noljbe the case with thad'sciples of Esculapiu . and the learned in he faw; fbr ignorance is well known to be a prolific source ot disease as well a n great tcauae of the violation of law and o der4 tt "Monos," after all. from what he ysrainother part of his letter, cither does not iipjear have considered the3 ultimate corsequences of his deduction, or does wish to make it appear 1 that he is in receipt o! some means by which the evil may still bf remedied; he says; "Let a constant daily school be founded ;" he ijoes on then to con clude favorably and to lead us to hope that things will be a1 right agaid ; at least that the consequences of conclusions will not be as disastrous as the logical developement of them leads one to infer wherefore, in conclusion. I recommend ithat a deputation of some of the most influential citizens of Long Creek wait upon the writer, for the purpose of ascertaining how the Genius ol Education can be propitiated and tlje dread ful calamity which his argument involves, be averted. I also recommend, as a suitable parsing exercise for young or old grammari ans, the first sentence in the writer's letter; it is the following. "I recollect seeing about six months ago a notice in your valuable Journal, of the then little hamlet, Long Creek, signed by itself, personified, or iomc literary brother." j !- I remain, Dear Sir. most respectfully yours, KATE MONON Long Creek, N. C, Feb.! 19th 1S52. Froiii ihe Sdn Diego Herald. FROM LOWER CALIFORNIA, Battle Between the Insurgents and Government Force?. -! 1 i Mr. C. R,. Johnson, just returned froirj the Seulh, has very kindly furnished us with the following interesting particulars of the insur rection at Santa Tomas Lower California. Lieut. Don Jose Antonio Chavis, by the ab sence of his senior, Don ' jManuel Castro, found himself the commandant of the milita ry colony, paljed pa Frontera, in Lower California. For the purchase pf supplies and payment of troops, about $0000 had been sent from Mexico in charge of Castillo Ne grete, temporarily acting as Gefe Por-tico. by appointment from the! Government, of Paz. On arriving at Santo Tomas a defi ciency of funds was discovered, and the Com mandant declined to receive thp remainder until a satisfactory explanation should be made." Negrete appears to! have been una ble to furnish such an explanation, for he immediately decamped with the remaining money for the lower country, enlisted troops, and declared himself Governor, asserting that he had received the appointment from the Central Government.! ' Don Antonio Chavis immediately prepared himself by con centrating the forces in his command, and on the 2d of January returned to Santo Tomas. having procured a small piece of ordnance, and about, fifteen additional jmen. Hearing of Negrete's approach'on j the 3rd, he pre pared to give him a warm reception. On the morning of the 4th, Negrete ap pearcdt on an eminence commanding the town, with a party of forty cavalry, under Don Andreas Vidal, and about thirty infan try, and a brass six pounder, brought from the wreck of the steamer Union. A fight en sued, and Lieutenant Chavis killed and wounded about half a donen of Vidal's com mand, when a white flag was sent in, with a polite request that the government, troops should leave town in two hours. The re quest whs denied. aid the fight renewed. After an ohstinale engagement of half an hour, Nesrrete descended the hill with his party to bring on a closer fight, when Chavis and Pache Real, at the head of twenty-five cavalry', charged the insurgents vigorously, and completely defeated them. Of Negrete's party, seven were killed on the field, over twenty wounded, and Qlteen made prisoners. The government forces lost one killed and two wounded. Lieutenant Chavis had in this action one 2 pounder, 2,5 cavalry, 15 infantry, and a dozen Indians. Ho has gain ed the highest credit by his valor and con duct, and by the promlitude with which he followed up the victory by such measures as were best calculated entirely to crush all fu ture attempts to create dissension.. OUR DUTY TOWARDS OTHER COUNTRIES. The following extract, says the Boston Journal, fr um a Charge delivered to the United States Grand Jury; for the District of Ohio, -in the year 1838. by. Mr. Justice McLean, in reference to the then recent en terprise by citizens of the United States against the British possessions in Camtda, is peculiarly applicable to the situation of our country at the present timel Whilst some of our citizens are engaged in or counte nance the military expeditions to extend the area of freedom andothers arc endeavoring to make our country' Ike hot-bed of propa gandism and the abettor of European revo lutions, the opinion of a Jurist so eminent as Judge McLean deserves respecllul atten tion: ; " . i . y -:, :'V' ; - "If there be any one line of policy in which all political parties agree it is. that we should keep aloof from the agitations of other Gov ernments. That we shall not intermingle our national concerns with theirs. And much more, that our citizens shall -abstain from acts which lead the subjects of othet Governments to violence and bloodshed. . j 1 Thse violators of the Law show them selves to be enemies of their country, by trampling under foot its laws, compromising its honorr and involving it in the most serious embarrassment with foreign and friendly nations. It is, indeed, lamentable to reflect, that fuch men, under stich citcumstanees, may hazard the peace of the country. If they were to come out in array against their own Government, the consequence to jt would ba faf less seriods. In such an ef fort, they could not involve it in much blood shed, orirr a heavv expenditure; nor would its commerce arid general! business be mate-! rially injured;. But a war "with a powetful nation- wtth whom wejiave the1-most exten sive relations, commercial! and social, would bring down opon our country the heaviest calamity. It would dry up the sources of its prosperity, and dflugeiit in blood. . The great principle ol tnr republican in stitutions cannot b' propagated by the sword. This can be done by moral force, and not physical. If we desire the political regeneration of oppressed nations, we mujst ehow them the simplicity, the grandeur,.and the freedom of our own Government. We! must recom mend it to the intelligence and virtue of other nations, by its elevated and enlighten-, ed action, its purity, its justice, and the prp tection it affords lo all itsf citizens, and the liberty they enjoy. And if, in this respect we shall be faithful to the high bequests of our fathers, to ourselves, nd to posteiity. we shall do more to liberate other governments, and emancipate their subjects, than, could be accomplished by millions of bayonets. This moral power is What- tyrants have most cause to dread. It jadd reuses itself to the thoughts and the judgments of men. No physical force can. arresE its progress. Its approaches afe unseen, but Its consequences are deeply felt. It enters garrisons most strongly fortified, and opejatcs in the pala ces of kings and emperors. We should cherish this power as essential to the preservation of our own government; and as the most efficient iieans of ameliora ting the condition of our rice. And this can only be done by a.revnciuce for tl and by the exercise of. u:i elevate the law?. d . patri otism, j But if we trample under our f-el the lairs of our country; if we disregard the faith of treaties, and our citizens engage without re' straint In military enterprises against the peace of other gocgrnments, ire shall lie con sidered and treated, qndijuslly too, as ana twn oj pirates.'1 ENGLISH LUXURIOUSNESS.
