THE ORGAN OF TEMPERANCE REFORM For the Orjao of tin Tiaparuti Reform. Ma. Eorroa Did yon ever tec the pic-tar of Don Qaixotte armed tap a pit for an attack on a wind-mill 1 If so you may bare faint conception of the appearance of one of onr Legislate aa represented above. The Honorable gentleman bad left his con-tituenta for the Capitol city before the fountain of the great deep of the people's sympathies had been agitated by appeals for the Maine Law, and knowing that his county-abounded in corn and whisky," he had no hesitation in defining bis position on tbe measure as soon as it was introduced. His constituents needed no one to dictate to them what they should eat or drink.

Ho petitions for the Maine Law had disturbed his repose be waa sure be should aroid both the Scylla and Charybdis of this vexed question." But the serenest sky is often the precursor of the most terrible atorm. The people's gathering on the memorable 25th of February came, and a score of tbe Honorable gentleman's constituents presented themselves to their representative with petitions signed by a large majority of the voters of his county, asking for the Maine Law. The Honorable presented the peti tions, but in tbe midst of so much noise and confusion," that his previous calm reason was greatly disturbed. It was soon noticed that his seat was vacated, but for what purpose conjecture was at fuult. An hour afterwards, (he scene jopreseated above was observed in tbe Main street, of Columbus, which could not be fully appreciated without being witnessed.

The Honorable member, aforesaid, was mounted on a hocse most ridiculously caparisoned, with his own outer garments in admirable keeping bis countenance expressive of the deep anxiety within, and in answer to the inquiry as to whither he was bound, and what the object of his sudden departare from the post of duty, hastily replied that he was going home to look after his constituents, for they had all got turned upside down since he had left them." Mr. Editor, this is not tie first time that the agitation of great truths too great to be comprehended by political aspirants- have turned people upside down." On one occasion, such agitation was said to have turned the world upside down." But the mistake, in both cases, was like that of the lunatic, who declared that he was put in the asylum because be differed in opinion from the rest of mankind they insisting that he waa craxy, and he charging them with insanity, and as they bad the power they enforced their decision. I have not heard whether the Honorable gentleman succeeded in convincing his con atitueuts that they were "turned upsidi down," or whether they obstinately insisted upon their own sanity, and sent him to tbe lunatic asylum instead of the halls of legislation I But one thing certain, until his moral faculties shall be so improved that he can distinguish the noble impulses of the soul from mental aberration, he might be much benefited by a course of training in that benevolent institution. E. T.

Temperance and Politics. The Saturday Express, published at Lancaster city, says Our reform is turning politics upside down. No party knows any more where it stands. When it thinks itself right side up, it finds itself in contrary predicament. Party leaders who will not attend to the indications of the times, and in their nominations run counter to public sentiment, must expect to be defeated.

The day is past when liquor-sellers, drunkards, or men totally destitute of moral principles could be elected to office of trust and power. Which ever party nominates the best men will henceforward be in the ascendant There is no use of fretting and fuming about it, for intemperance is being driven out of politics, if drunkard making does go ou. Wonder of tbe Heaven. Sir John Herschell, in his E'say on the power of the telescope to penetrate into apace, says there are stars so infinitely remote, as to be situated at the distance ol 13 millions of millions of millions of miles from our earth; to that light, which travels with the velocity of twelve millions of miles in a minute, would require two millions of years for its transit from those distant orbs to our own; while the astronomer, who should record the aspect of mutations of such a star, would be relating, not its history at the present day, but that which took place two millions of years gone by. What is our earth in space so almost infinite? and still more, what is man, that he should be the special object for regard to the Infinite Author of this system of worldsl The Sovcanon or Euaopa.

During the last two or three week, we notice in the Legislative proceedings an innumerable Quantity of petition pre sented lrom all parts ot the Mate, lrom males and females, from the age of 14 to 2 1 and over, for the adoption of the Maine Liquor Law. If the members of this General Assembly are so easily taken in," let them grant the prayera of the petitioners. That law can never be en forced in the West over western freemen but so soon as it is done, we would respectfully request that body to adopt and put in full force the old Blue Laws oi Connecticut. we snail see wnat we shall see." If we are to be subjected to these old tyrannical laws, the sooner tbe people know it the better. We are anxious to see the vote on th adoption of tbe law.

Vhu JMgle, Lancaster. We are a little surprised to see our "cousin" of the "Eagle" snapping at the friends of the Maine Liquor Law in that kind of a manner; and we really looked twice, to see ll we had not taken uo bv mistake, a copv of the Ohio Buz zard," instead of the "Eagle." To be sure the merest tyro in natural history has not failed to notice with what instinc tive indignation the lower order of ani mala" oppose any interference with i gluttonous enjoyment of their creature oomforte." or instance, Pompey," no matter how decent a he may be generally, will snap at all who trench their shins too close while he gnaws a bone. And "grimalkin," even our old bob-tailed Tom," will get his back no." if interrupted over his crippled rat. Trie ring-tailed monkey," on seeing the approach ot intervention at meal time, immediately adjourns in disgust to a tree-top, where he angrily gesticulates and chatters. The unweaned calf, waves his tale and bleats piteously when the teat is drawn lrom his mouth.

And even the baby," no matter how fine baby," as a general thing (our "cousin" has not been married long enough yet, to know this) no matter, we say, how markable for smirks and suavity, at other times, "the baby" hesitates not a mo ment to vent his disapprobation in spas' modic squalls when deprived of his suckinc-bottle." Perhaps, then, it is not a matter of wonder if older specimens of the genus sucker do not elongate their ry-iaces when public opinion threatens to pull the bottle from their mouths. We would not for a moment insinuate that out cousin," of the Eagle," opposes the passage ot the Maine Liqnor Law from any such selfish motives: but he must be more carelul or iolks will lain so. Our cousin tells us that innumer- able petitions" have been presented to the Legislature, asking lor what 1 hat men may not be regularly licensed by law to kilt each otner, ana Dury youtn, Deauty, virtue and genius in the premature grave of the drunkard, the felon and the prosti tute. And he sneerinsly tells us that if members grant the prayers of these innumerable petitions," they will be taken in." He feigns to have great confidence in the opinion of western lreemen," but folks will be very apt to take him for one of that peculiar kind of "westurn freemen" who have not only been frequently "taken in," but kept in and done for," until sober. We have seen western freemen before now, so fond of freedom that they would tear all the clothes off their backs, and lie in a fence-corner all night, such idolators of freedom that they would free their estates from solvency, themselves from decency, and their families from a husband and a father such advocates of "freedom" that while their wives sat broken-hearted in a hovel, their children were left to freely wander up and down the earth, hopeless and helpless.

Nay, we have seen men so lull of freedom," and so imbued with the spirit of independence that our "con-sin admires, that they would freely share halt the gutter with the hogs, during a night's lodging. Freedom," forsooth! It is that kind of freedom," that frees a man from his money, his friends, his health, his life, his soul every thing but The bondi of sin aitd the fill of Iniquity" We have heard many a poor sot boast of his freedom," and jeer and jabber about his privileges," his liberty," but its all in a horn," Mr. Ellis. We have seen the drunkard's orphans upon our streets the present winter begging for bread, while the freezing wind played freely through their rags we nave seen them skulk through our alleys, and kick from the frozen mud and snow old boots wherewith to clothe their frost ed feet. Had it not been for the very freedom you contend for, the father of i i- r.L must) oniiaran migiu now ve living wua hut lamily comfortably around him.

There is a law for protecting the grave of that poor bloat lrom violation and our western freemen dare not mutilate his tombstone, under heavy penalties, but when a statute is asked preventing the liquor seller from turning the countenance oi the living man into that of a devil, and defacing every thing human about him until he sinks beneatn the brute, our "cousin" of the Eagle thinks there is danger of men being deprived of their rights! The Eagle man is of the opinion that if the Maine Liquor Law should be passed, be would at once petition tor the adoption of the Blue wa" A Mlow feeling -Bakes wondroa kind," and, our impression is, that the Eagle's i llusion to the blue laws," will be very strikingly associated in this instance, with a blue nose."

This hole of Iniqnity fronting the river between Main sod Viae is becoming noted for its robberies. It il the resort oi the lowest species of thieves, who never hetitate to rob, when an opportunity occurs.

Not a night paste, but oue or more persons, moitlr boatmen or deck-paseengers, from the steamers are robbed in that vicinity. List night sa Irishman who resides a few miles from the city was invited into one of the groceries of Rat Row, to "take drink." He had teen in there but a few minutes, when tbe proprietor declared that bis watch had been sto ien. The Irishman was accused tha robbery, instantly seized by the rnllians who stood ready (or their work, was conducted into a back room and searched. Everything of any valae which he had abont him, was taken away, and he was then in no very gentle manner kicked ont of the house, and threatened with a bath in the river if ha returned. The Irishman songht refuge at the watch-house, but was io frightened at the charge and threts made against him.that he eonld not be persuaded to return with the police sad point oat the men who had robbed him.

This is on of the wars they have of robbing people in Bit Row, and this is not the first instance of the kind we have heard. Io fact, the thieves who resort there are so daring and bold-laced in their depredations, that a very vigilant and attentive police officer, who is familiar with their acts, informed us that it is dangerous for any person to pass along there after night. He himself never does it, without carrying a cocked revolver in his hand! Is it not time the police should make as effort, to break op these haunts of viee and thievery! What say yon, Captain Early I A Madman in Chosch. Abont 10 o'clock night before Lut, a man gained admission through the window into St. Patrick 'a Chorch.

The intruder sought refnge ia the spire, and fortified himself with a crowbar at the top of a thirty-toot ladder. The officers ordered him down, which he promptly refused, sad threatened to kill the first man that attempted to arrest him. Officer Conway mounted the ladder with a veiw of dragging him down, but before hs reached the top-most ronnd, be was deli a tremendous blow oi the head with a crowbar ia the fellow's hacds, who continued to punch him ia the face with the iron instrument, at every throat inflicting a severe wound. Conway vu forced to give it np, and descend, his face and head covered with contusioas. Captain Cozzeot stationed two or three men la tbe chnreh to watch his movements.

The fellow maintained his petition daring the night, nor could threat or per-snasioa induce bim to come down antil about 9 o'clock yesterday morning, when, upon bringing him to tbe light, the well known features of Michsel Cain aliu Ryaa, a ball wilted Irishman, uttering with mania poto, were revealed.

A party oi cen- wemew, innauiliug Uncaenng, were invited by the officers at the Newport Barracks to a dii- per they went, and, as usual, Chickering got intoxicated, left the room, and went strolling among the soldiers. Th recruiting sergeant inougbt to make a prize, and asked him to enlist, tendering him the bounty, which Chickering accepted, and then signed his name. On the return of the party, Chickering accompanied them back to the city; the sergeant knew him well, and had no objection to his return, as he knew where to find him at any time, and the next day came over with some soldiers and entered Chickering' office to claim him.

Chickering pretended to Lave no knowledge ot tbe a fair. The sergeant told bim it waa nothing strange that he aid not recollect it, as he was tolerably drunk wher he enlisted. You aay I raa drubk, remarked Chickering. Yes, was tha ansrer. Then, says Chickering, I'll teach yon your duty, my fine fellow; don't you know that you are forbidden to eulist a drunken person, and moreover now have made yourself liable to fine and degradation.

Get out of the office, or I'll put the law in force against you! Th sergeant's argument were useless Chickering would neither refnnd nor serve.

era, a special piliee officer from England, arrested at Richmond, Willian Henry Barret, a fugitive from justice, from Eugland. It appears that Brret waa Sheriff ot Gloacester, and after committing forgeries to the amount of $30 000, auddenly, and before the forgeries had been discovered, came to this country, under the assnmed name of Wm. Baxter, lie eventually foand his way to this city, where he was lately recognized by a pe-soo who knew him in England, and who was knowing to the fact that a reward bad been offered for hia apprehension. Marshal Ruffin was informed ol the circumstances, communicated with the British authorities at New York on the subject, and waa informed that an officer had just arrived in search of him. Mr.

Ruffin followed Barret in his circuits, nnfll he found him at Richmond, when he was taken into custody, and finally confined at Canselton, where he will await tha demand of the British Government. Decision Aoainst the United States Bank The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, on Thnrsday, affirmed two judgments of the District Court in suits brought by tbe Commonwealth against U. S. Bank, to recover the actual bonns secured in the charter to the State, of $100,000, dnefor bine years. The bank resisted the claim, on the ground that it had ceased to exercise the functions and franchises ot banking, and had assiened all its property in trust for it creditors.

The Commonwealth insisted that, as the stockholders annually elected directors, and frequently held meetings, they had not given rp the franchise granted by the State, ai.d that the bank was, therefore, bonnd to pay the annual bonua demanded. The Supreme Court sustained tbia position, and the State bat, therefore, a aettled claim against the Bank for $1 300 000. Sau Casualty. On Sunday morning last, Mr. Frederick Hart, of the firm of Wm.

All the advantages which can be aecared by Uinr anoe in any office in this country, may be had ia this Company. The capital is large and well severed, and the character and standing of ihow who compote tbe Board, is a guaranty that the affairs of the Company will be honestly and jodicion-ly managed, and the Interests of the insured piotected. In addition to the nsnal terms of Insarsnee, this Company have made arrangements to insure those who do not nte intoxicating liquors, at lower rates than other persons. A lso innure Divisions of the Boris of Temperance. A Division of fifty memberi.

by paying the imall annual premium of suty'Six dollars, may injure Five Thousand Dollars on the lives of their members, the sam of One Hundred Dollars being paid by the Company on the death of each member. Joint Stock Itenwimteat, Rates reduced thirty mmd 4third per ent. Those who insure oa this plaa anticipate the profits of a Mutual Company (to the amount of 33 per cent.) in the reduction ot the premium. If a person wishes to leave a definite sum to hia heirs, not subject to the contingencies of profits, this system of insurance is preferable. Or if he wishes to insure for a peiiod lets than life.

lTlsttnal flcmrtmSHt In this department, when the premium amounts to Forty dollars and upwards, but one half is required in cash; dividends of profili annually. This depart ment, unlike other Mutnal Companies', Is secured by the whole capital of the Company, (i. e-) IjO.OWJarul its accumulations. By combining in one office the Joint Stock ad Mo-tual Byitem of Insurance, we offer advantages to insurers which cannot be obtained in any other plan. To oar Mutnal insurers we give the security of our Joint Stock Capital ot and iti accumulation! and lessen the expenses of this department one half which is equivalent to l7Xllr cent.

)f thereby ena bling the Company to declare larger dividends. The directors of this Company are personally inter ested in its prosperity. There are no Directors bnt what are Stockholders, which fact wiil induce a great degree of caution in taking none bnt good lives, in the judicious invest-ment of its funds, rigid economy in incurring expenses, and in the general management of its business. Is has been -the policy of some companies to divide the entire amount of their surplus, utterly regardless of the unalterable nature of their obligations. But it must be apparent te every one, that this is aa unsafe, if not a die honest, mode of transacting business.

The eertaintf of future losses, to which every Life Insurance Company is liable, renders it absolutely necessary that a large reserve fund should form a per manent investment for the payment of such losses. It will be the policy of the Washington Life In surance Company always to have a reserve fund securely invested proportionate to its amount of business. This Is the only method by which adequate security can at all times be furnished to the insured and place the Company in a position in which no ammunt of future losses can impair ita solvency. The charter of the Washington Life Insurance Company provides that a wile may insure tha life of her husband for her benefit, and for her children, and at his death receive the amount of the policy, without regard to the debts of the husband. Creditors cannot ttvlte it.

This privilege cannot be obtained in a foreign company. The advantages of Life Insurance commends itself to tha favorable consideration of every class of persons in community. Unlike fire ox Marine Intursnoe, in which there is no data for the calculation of pre minms, it is founded on the immutable laws of nature, fixed and invariable. The rates or premiums are deduced from the bills of mortality, and verified by the experience of more than a century. There is no mode of investment more sure, more certain, or more easily attainable, or more profitable to the insurer, than Lifo Insurance.

It is the only spa-cies of investment that has stood the test ot time, and it yet remains to be recorded, the fact of the first purely Life Insurance Company that has failed to meet its obligations during the lapse of nearly a eentory aad a half. It if the prop which the dying husband leaves to support the wife of bis bosom. It is the unseen hand of the provident father reaching forth from the grave, and still nourishing his offspring and keeping together tbe family groupe. By it the faithful son proteots his aged parents, even when he has preceded tbeminto eternity throngh it the honest debtor satisfies hit confiding creditor, where fate seemtd least propitious. In a moral and worldly sense, it is one great weapon by whioh to rob Jeath of ase eting.

There is danger in delay Lite is uncertain we know not what a day may bring forth. A man has no guaranty for health or existence beyond the present moment If ha has made no provision for those who look up to bim for support, it is his dtty to do so, and to do it immediately. a If ha loses his health, or be hurried to an untimely grave, what is to become of his wife and children. Tell it aot that the man fovea his wife and children, who, having the means and opportunity, snakes ae effort to protect them against live eemUngsncim ef remediless pevertf.
