Do you say the cause is very ancient and therefore should be cautiously removed, I answer it is ancient, it is hoary with ages and infancy, for millions have been offered up at its shrine, and millions still go up to sacrifice, till like that idolatrous pilgrim path of Lheathendom its course is marked with the bleaching tribute of sculls. Could all who have died pass before our vision, the mind would reel at the sight. Could all the blood it hath shed be gathered to one stream a mighty river would roll to the ocean: Could all the groans it hath evoked be gathered into one, the earth would tremble. It is old and ever a wrong. Itisa falsehood and exists to-day upon falsechnod.

Liexnse and regulate a wrong, the idea is not more absurd than infamous it is a foul compromise with iriquity, | a yoking of saint and devil, a compound | | 1 | {of heaven and hell, an infernal adulteration which lifts wp and | legalises wrong and pulls down the right, a draping of the three mouthed { dragon of the pit in the habiliments of an | angel to stand and smile on the doorsclls | of destruction.

Everything that hath a ndency to injure society at large it is the duty of the State to surpress, and the voice of history stands against the license system. Intemperance is one of the most reartul words known in our language; it is an embodiment of all that is crushing in poverty better in woe, or black in crime. The rum traffic is an unaltered and unmix- ed curse; Coil, only evil and evil continually A parent scourge from its first concérous seating upon humanity to the presenthour. That canvas as it moves before us with its fearful scenery of poverty ruin and crime sketched from life in its deep coloring of tears and blood has not one bright spot on which the wearied "oye can rest. Not a | single ray of light illuminates it. Rum has been a maligin 'star to man, from the cradle to the grave.

By so doing, you will confer a favor.

The Inman steamer Citylof Montreal, ich arrived on Wednesddy night, left 1 Liverpool the same day as ithe Atlantic, | far as Cape and took the same passage as Sable, where the latter put in for Haiifax and the former turned southward. The weather ezch experieneed for much of the way was therefore precisely similar, and, with the same conditions otherwise, the same resulls were to be expected.

The City of Montreal, after leaving | Queenstown vn the 21st, met with lizht and favourable winds only, steaming 726 wiles in the Grst three days. On the 24th inst., however, the winds, which bad Boon easterly, fell around to the souik- west, ané there wie a prospect of a gale. Up to noon that day the vessel had run 230 miles, against 320 for the twenty-four hours previous. The weather became squally, and the wind shifted constantly with a general westerly drift. This con tinued through the day and rose to a strong gale, which on the 26th ultimo became very heavy, the wind varying from south-west to north-west. The vessel made but seventy miles during twenty-four hours up to noon of that day, zetting the wind directly iu her teeth for most of the time. Her course was south-west in latitude about 47 deg. no and longitude 36 deg. west. By morning the wind had come around to north-west, but shifted back to south-west during the day. A run of 208 miles was made. The north-west gain. For two days further it sat with some shiftings nearly in the same quarter, butaverage runs were made.

We may add, that those same jorrnals inform us that a Bill of a similar nature was once sent by New 'Brunswick to the Queen, and that she refused her { assent. Now, without any arguments with regard to the merits of the Bills themselves, let us look at the question from a merely legal point of view. 1. The Tory organs have no right to assume that the Lieqitenant-Governor acted on the adyice of his Goverment on the matter at all, and such an assumption that he did so is valueless without proof, The Lieutenant-Governor has official | powers in this respect which he cin ex- { ercise independent of, or even in opposi- tion to, his Cabinet. In the Royal Com- mission issued to Lord Dnfferin when he was appo'nted Governor-General of Cana- da, he was instructed by the Queen that, as her representative, he, or to use the exact words of the Queen's Commission: -- * We do furthe~ direct that, if in any case ' you see snilicient cause to dissent from who had voted againet hi '" the oriuion of - the major part, or the { humble.

Now | Glafistone tha oon a the Lieutenant-Governor has ths sime EN aivety Chin ined = ed L, discretionary powers within his more PA Cs ago wo limited sphere of action, and the Tory Ee S press have no right to say that this was not a case in which Le exercised it. They are simply speaking at random on a of which they cannot know anything cer- tainly, and so their words are mere ide wind, 2. In the Queen's instructions to Lord Dufferin heis ordered positively as fol. lows : " You are not to assent in Our name a a i h atér i Ee intention of the Coy, to submit ga IEAsure to pa x hibit the manufacture or sale cr 2 ing liquors. pt ' A crrizex of Boston, \ laced £1,000 in the hands. olice, to be loaned {o having persons support.

But the Tory press say thatin a New assent to a Liil which contained provisions similar to those contained in two Orange |! EF oP shai bills in question. If that be the case, then | Wheat, Spring, ¥ b even Lord Dufferin, the Governor-General ie he " of the whole Dominion of Canada, would not have tho power to assent to those bills unless as ths Queen's instructions further tell him : 'Unless such a bill "shall 'contain a clause suspending the *¢ operation of such bill until the signif- ** cation in Our said Dominion of our pleas.

In that case the Orangemen would have acquired temporary legal powers which if subsequently taken from them would have made the watter all the more irritating. Bat, as it is, the question is so put that it can be settled once for all, can be arranged permanently by the highest authority in the land. 4. If as the Belleville Intelligencer as- serts, the bills wersreserved for the Ottawa authorities, so that 'French influence" might *' strangle" them, then if the Lieutenant-Governor had assented to them | the same " French influence" could still '" strangle" them, as the power of disalow- ance still rests constitutionally with the Ottawa authorities. But it is a poor com. pliment fora Ministerial journal to pay Lord Dufferin or Sir John Macdonald to assert that they are the, slaves of French | influence. If we had said that the Tory | journals, and especially the Intelligencer, l would have been the first to deny it. 5. The worst that can happen to the Orangemen uuder existing circiimstances | * is that the fate of their bills shall depend on the decision of Lord Dufferin, the Queen's commissioned representative, or, as the final resort, on that of the Queon herself. We are shure that our Orange friends cannot fear to lay their case at the foot of that Throne which it is one of their cardinal principles to revere, uphold and defend.
