Kentucky thibty yeah Bonds.
The Kentucky Commonwealth says:
The Governor of this State was author
ized by an act of 1842, to cancel the six
year bonds, the interest of which is paya
ble at the State Treasury, by issuing in
stead, thirty year bonds, the interest on
which is payable at New York. There
were about )Jffi00,000, of the 6 year
bonds issued. The Governor is now
rapidly making these exchanges, charg
ing, in the exchange, a premium of one
per cent in favor of the long bonds. We
mention thee facts to explain the ap
pearance of the new 30 year bonds.

jShe reports that when off the Bahama

mav have business with this office
appertaining to said law much incon
venience aid expense, and myself a
deal of trouble, I have to a-k yoti the
favor to ive publicity to the follow
ing extract of the most important
provisions and lequii-emPiits:
The individual claiming the he nefit
of the act nbove referred to. must be
First. A citix.cn of the United
Stiles, r have fii'ed his declaration
of intention to become a citizen.
Second. Either the head of a fami

Third. An inhcbila tt( the trad
sought to be entered, upon which, in
person, he has made n settlement, and
erected a tliallwg house, since me isi
of Juno, 1G43. and p'ior to the lime
when the land is applied for.
Within, thiitv d;ivs after making
such si'itlemer.t. the claimant n list
file in this fiice his "Declaratory
Statement,' and within twelve
mon'hs f:om such settlement, the
cl.iimrnt must produce satisfactory
proof to the licgister and Receiver,
of his riJil under the provisions of
the said act. give the neccs-ary affida
vit, and make the payment.
A person failiigm anyone of these
requisites can have no claim l y vir
tue of tl.e act. Only one person on
a quarter section is protect! d by this
law. and that is the ne who made
tl.e firs', srtilemer.t.
nprson who has one avniied of
the provisions of this act, cannot at

No person who shall quit or aban
don his residence on his own hm I, to
reside on public land in the same
State, is entitled to the benefit ol
ihi act.
When n settler, instead of entering
the land, a lie mi'ht. at private en
try, elects to enter the same under
the provisions of the law of 1041.
(whereby be obtains a yen's time
irom the date of tli settlement to
make the payment.) he must-ompl y

A failure to do so. in regard to anvo1

For the Radical
Deacon Sirfr Wall, Mr. Teetotaler
I reckon you think Washingtonian
ism is pretty well used op, don't you?
Teetotaler How do you
mean? Pray explain yourself?
D. Swig Why 1 mean the.4
bue some time ago we proved that
drinking Ucker was right by the Bi-
' ble.
Teetolahr The mchiel you did.
Two hundred and fif y years ago the
Rev. Co'.ton Mather and the mutton
headed D.Biadstreat Esq., proved.o
Ihcir own salisfadi'm, by the some
book, that some of their neighbors
and brethren were wnci.e,, anu i.aa
ihem Imnucl J an.! rurson luiucr
proved that this world was burned up,
and the day of judgement occurred
last week by his construction of the
sacred pages.
D. Swig Now to be candid, dont
you think we had tho most Scripler
argumeut on our side?
Teetotaler Well, to be candid
then, I could not, for my life muke
me solitary argument out of the
whole of the weak, washy, ever
lasting fli od of talk and Bible quota
tii n--, that had the b-nst I taring a
gainstus. Will you name one, just
one idea, advanced on th.it occasion.
that you, as a sensible man, can call
an argument against total abstinence
societies,
D. Svig dident wc show, from
skripter that all the trees, and plants,
and animals, and creeping things was
given lo man for bis usf, and if he re
fused to use them, '-he trew contempt
ti the Hible, and insulted the Al
mighty." Tietntaler If lhat i your mode
of interpreting scripture, you slial
not be my p'iest r confessor. Do
you di stioy the thistles, cnkle burs,
dog fennel, &.c, from your farm? Do
you kiil the rattle snakes, tobacco

than your mouthpiece m the debate.
for he was all wron wiaei.vuse-
ful in its place, and its place is in the
sick room, nnd at the communion
table. lint your champion said, in
the debate ihat'-we told the Almih-i
ty, to pike back his ;ilt, his vine for
we bad no use lor it." Honesty is
the best policy even for a preacher.
Hut you say it is no poison. Yet
Physicians tell us that alcohol will
kill a man quick as arsinick, nnd is to
a!l intents and purposes a poison, and
C'himists have proved that nil the
wines we get, in this country have
from 10 to 24 per cen of ulcohol in
them. Bui most of ihe wines used
by the ancients were not fermented,
nnd consequently would not intoxi
cate, ns alcohol is the product of fer
mentation, and is lhe principle of in
toxicati n.
D. Swig But he showed that
wine made Noah drunk anv how.
Teetotaler Just so and left the
story half told the worst kind of
deception. Preachers know thai
Canaan must have deceived the old
man in some way, bv mixing daigs
into his wine, or giving him ferment
ed instead of unlermented wine, oth-j
ei wise why that terrible curse upon
him.
D. Swig There docs seem to be
something in that I confess'.
Ttetolale.r Certainly, and the aw
ful consequences that resulted ton
great portion of the human race, from
thi use of intoxicatinu drinks in that
instance, ought t teach believers i i
the Bible better lhan t make Noahs
case an argument in favour of dram
drinking.
J). Swig At any rata we showed
that King David was in favour of
strong drink.
Teetotaler Not so fast David
spoke of the exhilerating effects of
j wine. That it "made glad the heart."
If he had said that opium was poison
ous, would you feel bound to eat opi
umT Further if we nr to imitate
Davids examples and practice ah
things which he did not condemn, our
habits will be badly ndapled to the
intelligence and morality of the pre.
sent age. Most monstrousare the ab
surdities that men run into when thev
apply rules to a people which were
designed t operate locally and on a
different people in a remote age of
the world. ."
D. Sw!g Dont you believe that
David drank wine himself?
Teetotaler What if he did, men
were permitted to do many things in
ancient times that are not suited to
this enlightened age. You seem to
think that it is our duty to do what
the ar.cients were merely allowed to
practice. You must see the absurdi
ty tf this? Now let me ask you a
question.' Is not drunkenness a sin
and a great evil.
D. Swig I am not so sart n about
its being a sin. Brother , said
that the old patriarchs who got drunk
went to heaven Hut I know it is
miuhty unlucky for a mans family and
business, for him to get in the way of
drinking.
Teetotaler Ycu own then that
drinkin liquor i a great evil. Your
brother Paul said it was so great a
s;n iii.it no drunkard should go to
Heaven. But it seems you have been
j told lately that Paul was mistakened,
still you own it is an evil. Now
which is in the most danger of be
coming a drunkard the man who
drinks a little or the man who drinks
none at all.
