* amfned.
If a law should be enacted prohibiting men
from selling ardent spirits as a beverage, would
sucha law take away men's rights?
This is the point to be examined.
Let us fairly and impartially examine the
' ' 1 1 - ? .L "l U
subject, ana emnraceme irum wueievci n ma;
be found. That the organization of society is
absolutely necessary for the welfare of the human
family, all unhesitatingly admit.
Society is the union of many, formed for the
mutual protection and benefit of the whole.?
Like a building, society must have a basis on
which tj> rest. The basis of society is a fund
of joint stock. This fund is composed of moral,
mental and manual capital, contributed by
each member of the social compact.
If society answers its ends, it must have the
suit of virtue to preserve its morals?the intelligence
of mind to guide its operations, and the
active hand of manual labor to do its work.?
These three elements are indispensable to the
formation and perpetuity of organized society.
^ In order, that the superstructure of society
may stand firm and secure and answer its ends,
this fund, its basis, must bo kept sound and
permanent. %
And to do this, it is necessrry that every
member be obligated to contribute something
for its general support in lieu of the benefits he
J ! 1.1 C
ucuves uiereiruiii.
Since every member draws something from
this social fund for his own use, (as the protection
of his person, property and liberty,) there
must be a constant diminishing going on, and
unless a system be adopted to supply the waste
made, or replenish the constant exhaustions,
the fund, which is the life preserver of the social
body, must be completely exhausted.?
This being so, society crumbles to ruins at once.
Now, it is plain to all, that every member must
be bound to contribute his portion in keeping
this fund sound and full.
And this is the condition of his membership.
If one man is allowed to be a consumer without
being a contributor, then all may be consumers,
and so society could not stand but must be
destroyed. In this case, it would be like a beehive
where all are drones and no workers; that
is self consumption would be its unavoidable
fate. Hence it is as clear as a sun beam, that
every member of society, in order to preserve
it, must be bound as the condition of his mem
bersliip, to ^replenish with one hand while he
exhausts with the other. It is only on this system
of supply, that society has the elements of
self-preservation planted in its bosom. Having
this system as its fundamental principle, it
is like the unfailing spring, which, though it be
constantly sending off its waters to refresh in
one direction, yet receiving constant supplies
from other channels, is ever full. From these
facts laid down, we derive the following positions,
viz: That every member of society whose
employment contributes to the general interest
of society, has a constitutional right to protection
in that employment. The common sense
of mankind unhesitatingly assents to the truth
and justire of this position.. Nothing is eK-ar
or, than, that the tree which bears fruits for the
general good, should be protected by the general
defence.
Society is supported by the division of labor.
The division of labor gives a variety of employments.
Every employment contiibuling
something to the general prosperity of society
finds its protection upon the ground of this fact.
The farmer has a claim on society for protection
in business. But why? Because, his business
contributes to its welfare. The mechanic
has a claim also to be protected in his employment.
Why ? Upon the same ground :
Namely: his business advances the good of
society. The merchant, the sailor, the teach
er, the physician, the lawyer and the minister,
all have a right upon the constitutional authorities
of the social compact to be protected in
their respective employments, upon the ground
that these employments promote the general
interest of society. Every employment then
claims protection upon the ground of society
supporting tendency. Is this not the only
ground ? There can be no other. If society
adopts any other principle of piotecting em
?-?!.? ? ? I <- 1m <\ f c.j I f*

destruction in its own bosoin. This is beyond
controversy.
From this position, naturally results another
equally clear. Namely: That he whose employment
contributes nothing to society, but
on the other hand, saps its foundation, forfeits
all claim to protection in that employment.
The rectitude of this position is unquestionable..
Its statement is moral demonstration.?
It rests upon the first law of nature, i. e., self
preservation. Society has to adopt it as the
only means of preserving itself. The employments
of counterfeiting, robberies, defrauding,
stealing, &c\, are interdicted by law, upon the
ground that these employments sap the foundation
of society. Whenever any business
saps the foundations cf society, it forfeits all
right to protection from society. Now, it is
quite easy to prove, beyond all doubt, that the
business of tho liquor traffic does nothing for
the general good of society, but on the other
l%nnrl lo Anl u noil onrl nnntinnollu rl oc frnot iito ill
Iiauu to v/mj v?ii unu vvuviuuaiij uvoti uwkw hi
all its length and breadth to the best interest
of the social compnct. The history of the liquor
trade presents facts countless, glaring and
unmistakable on this point. It is a business,
that destroys the physical, mental and moral
elements of society. The strongest bodies
crumble under its crushing burdens; the brightest
intellects^ are darkened by its fogs; the
purest morals are corrupted by its contaminating
touch. Society wastes away under its influence,
like the form of a man under the shadow
of death. The evidence is so clear on
this point, that it is a work of sueperogation to
array facts.
^Liquor dealers all know, and many acknow
ledge the fact that their business is ruinous to
society. Facts gathered from the past, observations
of the present, and the verdict of skilful
physicians in all countries, proclaim the
fact, that there is no good in liquor, to mind,
body, or heart; on the contrary, that it does
most positively destroy physical ability to
work, mental to guide, aud moral to preserve.
This being settled,- it follows most conclusive
ly, that the liquor traffic has no clnim whatever
on society for protection. Because, the
right of protection in any employment, (as we
have before proved) is based on the fact, that
that employment contribute^ to the strength,
prosperity, and perpetuity of society; but the
liquor business fails signally and completely at
this point, therefore, it can have no right to
^protection. tt lacks the basis, and I'fee a su
perstructure without a foundation, must fall.

iii, 10. "If any man would not work, neither
should he eat." The plain meaning of this passage
in its broad sense, is this, if any man's
work is not productive of good to society, neither
shall he enjoy the common benefits of society.
, The Great Teacher of the worid has clearly
taught the same doc rine in the parables of the
talents and the barren fig tree. In the parable
of the talents, those who improved them to the
good of society were blessed; but the man of
one talent, who buried it, or failed to use it to
the general good, was condemned and cast ou,t
as an unprofitable servant into outer darkness.
Now, if the mere burying of a talent (which
made it at least harmless to society) is a good
reason in divine procedure for expelling a man
from the society of the good, how much more
will an employment constantly active in producing
gigantic evils to society, (as the liquor
trade dues) expel its agent irom tne protection
of society. Again, the barren lig tree was
condemned to be cut down, because it failed to
produce fruit to its owner. It wasacumberer
of the ground. Barrenness was the reason of
it being cut down. Now, tf unfruitfulness is a
sufficient reason in the Divine Mind for cutting
down a tree, then it is abundantly evident that
the tree, whose fruits are evil only, and deadly
to all, merits richly to be slain. The liquor
traffic is a deadly upas tree, whose roots have
gone down deep in the soil of fallen humanity
?its trunk tall and sturdy?its branches shade
the land with crime and pauperism, distressing
widowhood and piteous orphanage?its leaves
are for the destruction of nations?its fruits fa
tally poison thousands anuuaity?us sap is me
tears of widows and the blood of our citizens
?its continued prosperity is the standing jubilee
of hell. Now, will any man of common
sense say, that this tree has a right to be protected
by the shield of the commonwealth? As
well miyht the wolf, that-devours the sheep,
ask protection from the shepherd, as for liquor
dealers to ask protection in their business from
the guardians of the public interest. There is
as much reason in the former as in the latter.
Just as well might the leech sucking out your
heart's blood claim protection from your hand
while so doing, as for the liquor dealers to
claim protection from the body politic, while
they are draining oil its vital currents into me
dead sea of utter loss. Would the simple fact,
that the leech is enriching its own veins be n
valid argument for its protection ? Nay, verily.
The man is infinitely more valuable than
the leech. Then will the simple fact, that liquor
dealers enrich their own coffers, be a valid
reason fur protecting their business while they
suck the life-blood of the social body, and it
pines away and dies? No. The eternal max
im of all wise legislation is, that the safety of
the public is the supreme law. The republic
i has thrown her arms of protection around these

protected infancy, nursed them into manhood,
and now in the language of the Bible, "asks"
from their employment "bread5' that nourishes,
but receives "a stone" to bruise her head.
"Asks" fur "an egg" to impart vigor, but re:

annually of her promising sons in the gloom of

In closing our remarks, wc will give a statement
of our argument. 1st. Every employ

Then whatever business advances the good of
society must be protected by its shield.
2d. The business of the liquor traffic contributes

the contrary, saps its foundation?destroys its
mental, bodily and moral elements, therefore it

j for protection, the liquor business does this,
. therefore the liquor business has no right of

From the Chester Standard.
The Temperance Convention.
j
Mr. Editor: The Convention which assent|
bled in Columbia lately to deliberate upon the
j subject of the license laws of the Stale, has in
, my opinion adopted a course which must
commend itself to evety one who has taken
time to reflect upon the subject, and who is
not prejudiced by the interest which he may
have in the matter. With a view of disconnecting
that subject with any other, they have
simply proposed that the people may, on a
given day, go to the polls and cast their votes
upon the simple question, whether the traffic in
ardent spirits shall continue or not, and thus
the whole question will turn upon the honest
i conviction of judgment of the very people who
arc most interested on that subject. And on
' that vote they will decide the question whether
: grogshops are a benefit to the community in
: which they are established or not, and who is
i prepared to say they are.
i Now that some inay find fault with the pro
! position is perhaps to he expected, for very
j honest and very good men sometimes without"
thorough investigation hastily decide against a
change, for fear that any new measure may
call for action of mind nerssary to a proper investigation,
and if they have not heen made to
feel directly an injury to themselves from the
operation of the old established customs or
laws, they prefer to let things remain as they
are, rather than take upon themselves the trouble
to effect the change, supposing that if it is
necessary that a change should be effected those
who have made the discovery may take upon
themselves the labor necessary to accomplish
it. 13ut the Convention conceived this to be a
question which concerned immediately every
citizen of the country, and especially as it is
supposed by many to be a political?moral
question, and as our people are justly jealous
of any infringement of their private or public
rights touching all moral questions, it is the
most unexceptionable method by which the
question could be decided; and as in a government
like ours all power emanates from the
people and the government itself is based upon
the virtue and intelligence of the people, no
one who can trust the people to decide any
question for themselves, can in my humble
judgment object to the action of the Convention.
Then I take it that all, whether in favor or
opposed to prohibiting the traffic in ardent spirits
for the purpose of drinking it as a beverage,
are prepared to sanction the action of the
Convention and must begin their investigations
so as to enable them to decide the question as
patriots, parents, masters, christians?should
decide, it. The question then must turn on w
whether grogshops are beneficial to the people' IT
ijt neighborhoods where located, and for one, I d
have too much confidence in the intelligence to
and patriotism of our people to doubt one mo- a

Correspondence of the Camden Journal tl
Scmterville, June 6, .854. e
Bro. Warren: I observed in your paper a h
few weeks since, a paragraph headed "Knights
of Temperancewhich purports to be an ad- t(
vanced position of the order of the Sons of a
Temperance, embracing degrees and signs of ti
recognition. Now what I desire to bring to ll
jour mind is tlie fact, that thers is in existence "
an order known as "Knights of Jericho" which ^
is strictly temperate in all its phases. This n
order was instituted something over two years h
ago, and is at this time doing well in all the ]
States into which it has been introduced, with "J
the exception of our own, and even here it does 0
tolerable well. But one lodge has been as yet a
been established in the State, and that is loca- v
?
ted at Suinterville, which at this time numbers
g
nearly fifty members, all of whom are pleased t
with the order. Our constitution admits young p
men of 15 years of ago and upwords, (and ex li
perience has taught that the vile habit of drink- 0
----- - _ P
ing is generally formed between the ages of
14 and 20.) Ladies are also admitted into the p
order, and this we consider its grandest feature, g
for this reason: throw the combined influence o
of the ladies into the scale with tempearance *
men, at let this influence be knit together with
the signs of recognition as members of the
same fraternity, and who can estimate the
amount of good it may accomplish? There t
arc attached to the order of Knights of Jericho F
degrees and signs of recognition, by which s
one member can make himself known to another,
whenever he desires to do so. .
Believing this to be inferior to none of the t
secret orders of the dav, I should like to see it '
t
more generally introduced into our State, and
as you devote a portion of your paper to the c
...... . r . 1 :r ...tn l ?L .
cause oi temperance, 11 you win oriug me ^
facts to the notice of your readers, it may be {]
the means of enabling others to participate in 1
the benefits and pleasures enjoyed at our meet- ^
iiigs. c
Hire in the village, we have seventeen or \
eighteen lady members, who attend our meet- i
ings wheA the weather is favorable, and you v
do not know what a beautiful sight it is to see
the brotherhood engaged in the routine of bu- \
sines of the lodge and the sisters cheering us c
on with their presence ana attention?ana then, 1
where is the young man who would have the 1
i ? r
hardihood to violate his pledge taken in the L
presence -of sucli a number of ladies? Our \
sislers are silent spectators of the scene, but i
are made acquainted with the signs of recog- *
nition and the pass word. 1
Should you, or any of your readers, desire r
further information, I will take pleasure in re- i
spending to all letters addressed to me on the t
subject. Your's, &c. James Bell. *
No Crog Licensrs.?The Court of this
Corporation, at its May term, refused to grant
any license for the vending of ardent spirits
within the limits of its jurisdiction. Consequently,
there is not one licensed house at 1
which the "fire water of the Indian can be f
procured. This move has given rise to con- 11
siderabie discussion, and much diversity of '
opinion on the part of the denizens of this I
place and its immediate vicinity. Some con- ?
demn but most of thein approve the move.? 1
Far less dissatisfaction, however, has been '
manifested than one would likely to suppose. v
This argues well for the morals of our people, f
and will no doubt operate beneficially to all c
classes if persisted in. We understand that 8
the County Court of this countv at its May r
term last, also refused to grant license for the ?
retail of ardent spirits to all applicants save
some four or five public houses at the most
noted places in the county.?Danville ( Va.,)

there is not only the right kind of feeling
among our friends, but that among those
friends are to be found the most influential, as s
well as the best men in many parts of the c
State. Our reports are of such character that 6
we can rely upon them. We know the men ?
who make them, and their talk is not a mere j
matter of parade, but they know what they are j
talking about and they say that temperance
sentiments are penetrating the masses of our ^
people, and extending farther continually ; that
prominent men of all parties are taking hold of
this great interest with zeal, and intend to stand y
by it with firmness to the last, and that the op- .
position to intemperance is becoming more
united and better prepared for a steady effort.

Let every man who feels an interest do his .
duty and we have no doubt our prospects will J
brighten daily. Efforts, of course, will be made
to wheedle us into the support of something 0
else than a good sound law, but we trust it will
be in vain. But one thing our friends must not e
forget?we cannot get the law without we ^
have the men. And the?e we have to elect.? "
We must be alive to the importance of the ''
work. Be on the alert. Agitate the subject.
Hold neighborhood meetings, and circulate ?
temperance documents. Let the poople be in- "
formed on the subject, and when they give it "
the attention it demands, and have the neces- P
sary information, they will be the fast friends 0
of the cause, and not be led away by false state* P
ments-and misconceptions. We know that .
the only thing which keeps thousands of men !
in the ranks of the opposition, is a want of
due examination, and proper information on 0
the subject. We have every thing to gain by 8

A Damnable Offence.?What better than;S
a deliberate, cold-blooded murderer is that

We have yet much to do says, the Wesern
Temperance Advocate, to make the people
feel rumselling is an unmitigated evil?a
in which ought to be put away from among
is. There are yet many, who for want of
iroper instruction, look upon all attempts to
suppress the traffic as oppression and pe s.-cuton.
They call the law severe because it
tears so heavily on the rum seller, whereas, if
hey could properly understand the true nature
if the traffic, its effects on individuals and
ommunities. that it works mischief and only
niscliief, that it proceeds from a sordid love of
;ain regardless of the consequence, that it is
he fountain from which flow the manifold
ivils of intemperance, and that its suppression
vould cure these evils, there would be no more
if this sympathy for rumsellers. No one
voultl feel mat me law is too stringent, or mat
t bears too heavily on the unprincipled wretch
vho persists in dealing in rum and ruin.
Let us look for a moment on the debasing
tffects of the traffic itself, to say nothing of
ts fruits in the community. It annihilates
:onscience, it destroys all sense of moral ohigations,
it promotes desceplion and fraud in
tarrying on the business, and it leads to perjuy.
All this is necessary to the existence of
he traffic! It is impossible to carry it on
jy open and honorable means, because it is in
tself dishonorable, disgraceful and wicked.?
Let the community fully understand the true
latnrc of the traffic, that it is thus wicked and

Private Business.?"The State has no right
o interfere with my private business," said an
ingry rumseller yesterday, while listening to
in argument in favor of a prohibitory liquor
aw. What! no right to interfere with men's
irivate business? Why it is the very object of
government to do so. One man may make it
lis private business to counterfeit the currency
>f the country. As soon as this is known, go'ernment
makes it its business, not only to
irohibit his business, but to seize and confiscate
all the property invested in it. And who '
ays it has no right to do so? Another man i
nay make it his private business to keep a '
gambling house, to corrupt the morals and ruin
he youth of the country; it is his private busiicss,
at which be makes a living, but governnent
very summarily abates the whole estabishment
as a nuisance, destroys all the implenents
of the business, and severely fines the
iwner. And who objects ? Certainly no good
noral citizen, but all rejoice that one more of
he gates to eternal perdition has been closed.
Ind 60 it is private business to steal, and rob,
md murder, and commit any or all the offences
?n the catalogue of crime, yet who would offer
hat as a reason for tolerating their commisiion.
And when this greater crime, the parent

interests *>f the whole community, shall we :

PROSPECTUS
OF TUB SOUTH CAROLINA 1
TEMPERANCE STANDARD.
TIME UNDERSIGNED would respectfully announce
to the iricnds of Temperance generally
that tlicy intend to commence the publication of a
Temperance Paper, about the 15th of June next, provided
a sufficient number of Subscribers can bo obtained
to warrant the undertaking.
It will be printed uponsubslancial paper of Imperial k
size, aud will contain 24 columns of matter. It will 1
be denominated the "ckuth Carolina Temperance (
Standard." and will be Dublished every two weeks,
at the price of One Dollar per annum. As soon as 1
fifteen hundred subscribers are obtained, we will pub- 1
lish weekly at the same price.
Our sole object is to advocate the cause o! Temper- s
ance ; and particularly the Legislative Prohibition of (
the Traffic in Intoxicating Drinks; and to prepare the '
mass.-s of the people of our State, for the enactment of '
such a Law, by convincing them of its expediency aud '
necessity. . f
We will ondnvor to make it a welcome visitor in eve- 1
ry family. Nothing will be admitted into its columns
of a worthless and immortal tendency.
A strict neutrality will be maintained on all subjects *
of a political aud religious sectarian character. No
subscription will be received for less than oue year, 1
and in every case the order must bo accompanied by 1
the money. 1
A limited number of adverments will be inserted at (
the usual rates.
We would respectfully appeal to all friends of Temperance
and Morality to sustain us in our efforts to 1
ameliorate the coudiiion of suffering Immunity.

CHERRY PECTORAL
For the rapid Cure of
COUGHS, COLDS, HOARSENESS,
BRONCHITIS, WHOOPING-COUGH,
CROUP, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION.
TO CURE A COLD, WITII HEADACHE AND
SORENESS OF THE liODY.-take the Cheery Pio
ror.al on going lo bed, and wrap up warm, to sweat
luring the night
FOlt A COLD AND COUGH, take it morning,
)oon, and evening, according to directions on the bot;le,
and the difficulty will soon be removed. None
will suffer from this trouble when they find it can be
10 readily cured. Persons afflicted with a seated
sough, which breaas them of their rest at night, will
and by taking the Cuebry Pectohal on going to bed,
Jiey may be sure of sound, upbroken sleep; and conlequent
refreshing rest Great relief from suffering,

thus afflicted, by this invaluable remedy.
From its agreeable effect io these cases, many find
themselves unwilling to forego its use when the necessity
for it has censed.
TO SINGERS AND PUBLIC SPEAKERS this
remedy is invaluable, as by its action on the throat
ind lungs, when tkken in small quantities, it removes
ill hoarseness in a few hours, and wonderfully increases
the power and flexibility of the voice.
ASTHMA is generally much relieved, and often
wholly cured by Cheery Pectoral. But there are
some cases so ob.-tinate as to yield entirely to no medicine.
Cheery Pectoral will cure them, if they can
ae cured. t
BRONCHITIS, or irritation of the throat and npper
portion of tl e lungs, may be cured by taking Ciierbt
Pectoral in small and frequent doses. The uncomfortable
oppression is soon relieved.
FOR CROUP. Give an emetic of antimony, to bebllowed
by large and frequent doses of the Cherry
Pecroral, until it subdues the disease. If taken in
season, it will not fail to cure.

ured by the use of CheiTy Pectoral.
THE INFLUENZA id speedily removed by this
emedy. Numerous instances have been noticed where
whole families were protected from any serious consequences,
while their neighbors without the Cherry
Pectoral, were snfferiug from the disease.
Repeated instances are reported here of patientswho
have been cured from
LIVER COMPLAINTS by this remedy, so manybat
there can be no question of its healiDg power on
hese diseases. It should be perseveringly taken noil
the pain in the side and other unpleasant symp- oms
cease. ?.
FOR CONSUMPTION in its earliest stages, it
hould be taken under the advice of a good Pbysi:ian
if possible, and in every case with a careful re-jard
to the printed directions on the bottle. If judi:iously
need, and the patient is carefully nursedneanlime,
it will seldom fail lo subdue the disease.
For settled CONSUMPTION in its worst form, the
Jherry Pectoral should be given in doses adapted tovhat
the patient requites and can bear. It always
iffords some relief, and not unfrequently cures those
vho are considered past all cure. There are many
housands scattered all over the country, who feel and
ay that they owe their lives and present health to
he Cherry Pectoral.
This remedy is offered to the community with th?
onfidence we feel in an article which seldom fails to
ealize the happiest effects that can be desired. Sovide
is the field of its usefulness and so numerous theases
of its cures, that almost every section of the:ountry
abounds in persons, publiclv known, whc
lave been restored from alarming and even desperatelieeases
of the lungs, by its use. When once triedr
ts superiority over every other medicine of its kindr
s too apparent to escape observation, and where itarirtues
are known, the public no longer hesitate what
.ntidote to employ for the distressing and dangerousffections
ol the pulmonary organs, which are incilent
to our climate. And not only in formidable atacks
upon the lungs, but for the milder varieties of
3olds. Coughs, Hoarseness, etc., and for Children it ishe
pleosanlest and safest medicine that can be obained.
No fimily should be without it, and thoeevho
have used it never will.
