Where does tlie trouble reide? Cannot the people give an aflhmative espouse to this interrogatory ? Shall the .egislature necessarily eonvoke annually to ub in and rub out, enact ami repeal laws Inerminable, to suit tlie emergencies of the iines? Pile up taxes mountaiii-hich and j icean-Lroad every year, in constructing laws ; hat will meet every demand of Justice for no > vailable purpose? Why make laws and not nake use of them? Iain rather inclined to hink, we, the people are culpable to a great xtent for many prevailint: breaches ot '.lie ivil law. We frequently know of an ex.stngevil-doing, vet, we tolerate it, not for lie vuntof a law, but through calousness or inimidation of incurring the ill pleasure of a riend or neighbor, or of sustaining some unexpected private injury, or perchance, because, i*o love to patronize such evil in order togratfy a craving and morbid propensity. Every ;ood citizen should try to inform himself vitb the Imoortwnt points of the law, as nuch as possible, and resolve to render every issistance to the grand jury, commissioners, ind trial Justices in executing them, by Informing them of any violation that may ome within the range of our cognizance. L'he law is powerless and ineffective in itself, inless we take hold and makeuso of it when 01 occasion may arise. T'oubtless, hundreds )f laws, which have cost thousands of dollars, ie dormant and have been repeatedly brok!n, but of no use to the State for the want of m actor. Would it not have been still bett&r 'or the whisky act. to have taken up all the erritory?embraced the corporated places dso. It strikes me the anticipated good vould have been quadrupled.

A little inconvenience would be en:ountered by some of us for a time, but would it not ten d|to elevate the standard of norals, and promote the good cause of temperance. Why confine such traffic to Incorporated limits? Js it because it is less liable o be destructive to the morality of the na:ion ? Is it limited then for a good purpose? Bravadoes addicted to carrying hidden weapons, likely, henceforth, will buckle them >n the exterior to whip ti e "devil aroftnd the tump." More' stringency in this matter ?vouid not have been amiss.
