If right, let it be subject to the same laws as all oher articles of com merce; if wrong, let those who carry it on be treated as criminals by the govern ment, throwing on them the responsibili ty of all the pauperism and crime they directly or indirectly produce. The present position of our govern ment on this sebject is most discouraging to the friends of temperance, and shows a lamentable want of high moral tone in those who make our laws, or those who make our law-maker3. To make provis ion as to how or by whom this traffic shall be carried on, is to recognize in n certaiu class of men, the right to take the lives and property of their fellow3. Upon what principle do our rum-sellers and distillers form themseves into a great monopoly in our midst, to work all man ner of evil, to sow death and destruction on all sides? Because they are a major Plymouth, Marshall County, ity, must we a virtuous minority, sub- mit to all kinds ol imposition?

Un- Jhe t I .r . , . 1 H'l M 13 r iinn hf system, the drunkard's wife is doublv taxed. As she has no right to what she has helped to earn, the rumseller cn take all she has for her hus band's debts, aud leave her to day house less, homeless and penniless. If then, as a widow, she have the. energy to earn for herself and children a home of her own, theu comes the State ami taxes her ! question was put to her by the ofiicia to support prisons, jails, and poor houses. li5S clergyman, and resolutely answered thus do you permit the rumsellei first to strip her of her legal protector, aud then tax her to support the pauperism and crime produced by this traffic. Verily, no just government can be formed but by the consent of the governed. If you, genii emeu, were all uiilicted with drunk ards for your wives, your aubstance, your daily wages, could not be swept away by the rapacity of the rumseller You have in your hands the means of self-protection. Not so with us. The law cives nun the right to all he can get, and to what we get, too. The new property law protects what we inherit, but not what we joimly earn; hence you see how hopeless is the condition of the drunk ard's wife. Look but one moment at her legal po sition. If she have inherited nothing, she owns nothing, no matter how intelli gent, virtuous, and industrious she may be; and if the joint property he wholly of her own earning, by your laws it is her husband's, be lus character what it may whether a tippler, a drunkard, or a sot. If she go out to work by the. day, she has no right to her wages; and if. giveti to her, by your laws the husband may col lect them again of her employer. Then he may abandon her for years making no provision for her or her children; and if he return and find them in comforta ble circumstances, by your.larrs he may make that home desolate, and spend their scanty earnings in riotous living. If the wife refuse to receive the vagrant as her liege lord, then, br your laws, he can rob her of her children and no matter how tyrannical, loathsome, and utterly dis gusting he may be, by your laws he is still her husband. And if found guilty of the only crime which gives just cause of divorce, of which your laws take cogni zance she must, even then, pay some thirty dollars or more to put asunder what some priest bound together for God hath joined those onlf who are or in spirit, and united by love. Now, I ask you as men, are these laws just? Are they such as you would like for your selves? The first object of government is to protect the weak against the strong, but such laws take from the weak all de fense, from the helpless all hope and hundreds of women this rery day, arc suffering from this legal bondage. The drunkard's wife sits crushed and hopeless, fearing to break the chains that grate on her niked heart; she dies, the victim of a false public sentiment, whilst the priest and the lawgiver coolly look on, and pro nounce all very good. Seeing that you would consider women voters a terrible scourge on tbe body politic, if you would Indiana, Thursday, April 28, not have us press our claims to the elect- ive franchise, see that we hive justice at our hau ls. The wom.ti of this State are not satisfied with such representation and protection as we have had thus far; and unless our interests can be looked after, unless you can givejus more equitable laws We demand the right to legislate for our- selves. ; Third.

Elizacetii C. Stanton. Liffs Changes. A lady of this city, who had b-:en over persuaded by her pa rents and her lover, whose affection she did not reciprocate to approach the hy meneal altar, en Thursday evening last. plucked up courage, when the. important J no when by the rubric the proper re ply would have been a faint blush, a soft sigh and a whispered 'yes.' The conster nation of all parlies may be imagined, but not described. Remonstrance was in vain. No, said the young lady, and no it was. The swain was embarrassed but not discouraged. Casting his eyes about the room, he inquired, 'is there any lady here who will have me, if so let her make it Known. One arose and declared her willingness to undergo the infliction. I A bargain was instantly struck, the knot was tied, and the parties have departed for the home of the. gentleman in New York. Cin. Atlos. Sensiclk to the Last. It has long ben observed by medical writers that death is frequently preceded by insanity, a fact which has occasioned the remark that it was not astonishing, for every body knew that when folks g?t madder they were about to dye. This reminds us of a case which occurred many years ago in the Philadelphia court, where a pretty young widow was in danger bf losing two third of her husband's estate: his relatives grounding their claim on ihe allcdged insanity of tbe defunct. It may be as well to premise that the presiding judge Was not only convivial but also very gallant, 'What were your husband's last words?' inquired the attorney. The pretty young widow blushed, and 1 looked down, and replied, 'I'd rather not tell.' 'Bat indeed you must ma'am. Your claim may be decided bv it Still blushing the widow declined to tell. At last a diect appeal from the bench elicited the information. He said, 'kiss me Polly, and open that other bottle of champaigne!" We know not whether it was admira tion for the deceased husband or the liv ing wife that inspired the judge at this instant, but he at once cried with all the enthusiasm of conviction, 'sensible to th last by Ulackstone!' COQuite a merriment was excited in the circuit court at Crawfordsville, by the singular charge of the Judge to the Jury, who were about to retire for con sultation in the case of Ledly. The Jury were instructed that should they find the prisoner guilty, they should sentence him to the Indiana Legislature a number of years. Tbe humane Jury wisely deter mined that such a punishment would be too severe, and sentenced Ledly to the State Prison for thirteen years. Of course it was a slip of the tongue on the part of Judge Bryant. Lnf. (Jour. 1853. 15EES. Uli lompelimSMVaraiS tO MU ailtl ÄCCp LXira, A M N W y -T M Queens for Institute Swarms.

On examining the cause. I found the Queen dead upon the ground. I tied a silk thread around her middle, and put her in the upper aperture of Ihe hive, and fastened the string to prevent her falling. The Bees returned, and commenced build ing comb within tweutv minutes. The next morning 1 found them clustered on the outside of the hive, as before. I again found the Queen on the ground.

They had made four pieces of comb, but not one Bee was inside the hive. I then tied a horsehair around Ler. and intro- idticed her into the hive again. The Bees followed her, and worked finely for ten days, before 1 could supply them " ilh a living Queen. I removed the dead Quen and introduieda living one; and the swarm filled the hive, and made twenty four pounds of extra honey. In the year IS 16, I had occasion to try the same experiment, and I performed it with the same success, only I was ena bled to furnish them a Queen much soon er than the first. Every Apiarian shuold pursue this course, if he has occasion, and ha3 no living Queon On hand. It is my opinion that I injured both of these unfortunate Queens in hiving1 them. I was not accustomed to using the hiver in those days. If a man has but one swarm of Bees, he should use the hiver; and he will never kill his Queens by hi ving. Ho to you may Know d Stearin, is Desti tute of a Queen. As soon as it is discovered that the Queen is gone, Bees should be supplied with one; for it is better to destroy a fee ble swarm, to prccdre a Qüesil for a good swarm, than iö suffer the good one to pine away and die; and feed the feeble one through the winter.

Flying Ship. The inventor of ihe Kronnrt. Mr. Tlnfns Porter, cave two i " ' J evenings last week (Friday and Saturday) in a public exhibition of his plan for atri al Icccmoiion. illustrating it by a model of miniature float, or main supporter, of 23 feet long, and 7 or 8 feet through the middle section, and a suspended car con taining a diminutive but successfully working steam engine, whose duty it is to furnish power for the guidance of the machine. The tola I weight of the mat ter of the model is fifieen pounds. The machine sailed around the room, evident ly guided by the propellers of the sus pended car. Whether it would be pos sible to maintain a course not immedi ately before the wind in the open air, is a question we think fairly open, as is al so the fitness of the shape of the float to encounter the side pressure of the unto ward breeze. The exhibition will be re- j pealed under more favorable circumstan ces this week. The iEioport was again exhibited by Mr. Porter. Saturday night, at Carusi's saloon, To see this miniature, sylph like vessel, with its gay and airy saloon filled with automaton passengers, (look ing out at the windows.) actually eleva ted in the atmosphere, and paddling its way in any direction by steam power, according to the dictates of its own helm, tend to strengthen the hope that the untir ing projector ol this means of aerial naviga tion may succeed in bringing il to a prac tical result. Mr. Porter seems sanguine that a marhine on this principle can be constructed, capable of making two trips to California and back in the course of a week, carrying two hundred passengers, thus, at one hundred dollars a berth, re alizing a snug profit on the investment.
