1 y? week will be signalized by the as?
sembling at Albany of two Temperance
Contentions, one of them the first Sttte
Contention ?>f Women ever held. We
UnstttWe earnest advoeatea of Toul Ab?
stinence who ran attend ?41 do so. and that
the Contention of ihe -29th wiU be one of
* the largest and most influential er?- h<?Id
in oux btate.
But will Us immediate object be at?
tained !
He who allows himself to be BMM a
legislator should be quite sure thit he is
qualified, morally if not intellectually, to
discharge the duties of that most res^or.sihb
trait. He should be eure at least thit he
desires the prctalence of Knowledge,
Virtue and Happiness. The end of Law is
the supremacy of Virtue, the protection of
the weak and simple from the toils of the
unprincipled, selfish and cunning. When
it disclaims this end. and sells its power t?
the corrupter of morals and the destroyer
of innorence for a bribe, no matter how
dazzling or how paltry?no matter whether
called a bribe outright or shielded under
the politer term 1 license'?then it proves
recreant to its lofty duties and forfeits the
respect of the community.
? Hut will our Legislature give us a twin
biother to Th? Maina Law?
Abk each member privately and casuilly
?' Do you believe that the stringent re
? pression of the Liquor Traffic would ele
' vate the standard of public morals and
? promote the general well-being !'?and we
do not believe that forty of the one hundred
and sixty would or could answer in the neg
atite. Hut ask them to frame and put
through a law which will effectually repress
the Liquor Traffic, and they will at once be?
gin to claw off. 'It can't be enforced,"
says one. Hut we answer, M ainu do- s en?
force it. Here is undeniable fact against
your unsupported assertion. And even if she
did not, you ought to be studying how to
frame your law so as to secure its enforce?
ment, lather than be contriving excuses for
neglecting your duty.
' Hut the people IPOtaV s'and eo stringent
a law.'?We answer. Mains dot* stand
it Nay, more j she upholds it. The
devotu s of Rum dare not make the main?
tenance of the Law a direct issue and go to
the People upon it. They know that they
wculd be defeated and the Law upheld by
an overwhelming majority.
' The People won't endure legislation
' which tells them what they may aud what
'they mav not eat or drink."?Ah' Nr.
that is not the question 1 It concerns not
what a man may drink but what he may
sell, and this sort of legislation is as old as
any other. We have laws on our statute
book forbidding the sale of other Poksons,
except under very iijiJ restricts .n??why
j not Alcihol as well ' The fact that it is
j not universally known to be a poison ta an
additional reason for putting & Legislativ e
brand on its forehead. The sale of (iim
powder in cities is forbidden ; but Rum is
far more dangerous and mischievous there
than Powder would be, and is tolerated.
The law guards against the lesser danger
but tolerates the gicater. Is this con?
sistent ?
? Hut the argument is exhausted. Of
those who have ever carefully heard and
candidly weighed .vhat is offered on either
side, nine-tenths demand the enactment of
the Maine Law. The other tenth would do
likewise if they loved not liquor more than
the public welfare. They must know tint
suppressing the Liquor Tralhe would o! it
?elf prevent more ("rime and abolish more
Pauperism and Misery thin all our present
oostly machinery of Criminal Justice and
A lms-House Charity can repress or alle?
viate.
Then why is there hesitation as to the
passage of the Law '
We answer?Because many legislators
I love Liquor and dread the hostility of the
j Grog-sfcUisg interest. They thiuk Tem
I peranee men will desert Temperance for
I Politics whenever Election comet r ?und,
j while Liquor-dealers and their disciples
i will sink Politics for Rum. This is ihe
I rea?on why we are likely to have no Maine
I Law this season.
Friends of Temperance who will assem?
ble this wtek at Aloar.y,our Legislators
will give or refuse ua the Maine Law as
they see lit; but beg them not to give us
tome miserable though apecious counterfeit
of it which will not be enforced, and then
lay the blame at our door. Entreat them
to frame and act upon just such a law a*
that of Maine, and pass or reject it as thev
please, but be manly enough to pet them
selvea openly an record. Ask them to give
? us the Ut if they will, but at all events to
uivb is i uk vor a.

We ?iawiaiai'j lAmettt to be exiled on to
record the d ecease of i>r. A. SlDSBY P>a*b,
Health Officer of the Port of Xe v-York. which
took place yesterday morning at hia residence
on Staten Island It 1? over a week since the
dangerous illness of Dr D- a:ie was announce 1.
but the tidings of his death wiil be received
with painful surprise by the extensive circle of
his friends, who were un.viliuig to believe that
to much persona! worth should be doomed to
such an apparently uutini? ly departure. Hts
illness was the ship fever, whjch he contracted
in the discharge of his public oiBciaI duties.
Dr. Doane was a native, or Boston, where no
received his early education, ani was admitted
:o the practice of the rr.e4ica' pr>fe?sion. lt?
r.iovjn? to New-York in i8Sm\ he soan obtained
a h'j>h reputation aa a learned and skillful phy?
sician, and won the universal esteem of h > ac
cinin.ance in the relations of private life. With
a pa??ion for medical science, he devoted every
interval of leisure to the study or the most emi?
nent authorities ; he made extensive researches
into the wide field ot French medical litera
turf, which at that time was comparatively nn.
knewn in this country; and commenced the se?
ries of translations from standard authors in
fiat language, with which his name has since
been honorably connected. His translation of
the great anatomical work ot Meckel was re
published in London, being the first American
translation of a ioreign meiical work which
was honored with an English reprint.
In LftH| he received Irom Go*. Seward the
appointment ot Health Officer, aad with Dr
Turner, Health Commissioner, and Or. MeNcvin.
Rondetit Physician, constituted tie Board ot
I'ominieaioners of Health, which then exer?
cised all the functions of the present Commis?
sioners of Emigration. I nder the admintstra
ticn oi 0?e. Bouck. he was removed i mm thin
OAOO iB 1843, but Wat reinstated hy Oov. Fish
m HHfc
The duties of Health 00601 were discharged
by Dr. Doane with great promptness and fidelity
He was always on the spot?always ready lor
action?equally obliging in manners and con?
duct?ami cheerfully making every sacrifice
which the occasion required. ,
In politics. Dr. Doane was a zealous utd de?
voted adherent ol the W hig party. He was not
only decided in his opinions, but energetic in
political action. Early enlisting in the cam?
paign for lien. Taylor, he labored strenuously to
procure his elevation to the Presidency. Cherish?
ing a warm personal friendship farGOV, Sewa'd.
he was an admirer of his political character, and
an advocate ol hi- measures
The fervid political zeal, which was a second
nature with Dr. Doane. did not absorb the
warmth of hia affections, nor alienate his inter
est from the amenities of social life. He was
emphatically a man of lively and generous feel?
ings. His friends were numerou?. t<?r ail heirt
was fgya?f**S He had the happy secret of
gainiM? the good will of his acquaintance, with
out an effort. Hia disposition was such as to dis?
arm hostility. No tine ever doubted his integrity
or hia candor. Kvtn Us political opponent
never ipiettioned kt> private worth la the more
intin.air relations of life, he was the object o!
I iithusiiiatic aHachfiunt. rarely paralleleil. The
admiration which he ceiled forth was m propor.
tion to the I'reedeni with which he was observed.
The name of Dr. Doane has recently been
widely before the public, in connection wi.h the
reception of Kossuth In his capacity aa Health
Officer, he was the first to welcome the noble
1 atnot to the shores of America. Enjoying the
privilege ot receiving him as a guest m hit fa:ii
ily, he discharged the delicate offices ot hospl
taiit>. with no leas devoted cordialitv ol feeling,
than unpretending good taste. With an inborn
love ol freedom, he gave the deepest sympathies
of his heart to the cause of the down-trodden
Mng>ar- Hs i.nthusiasm for Kotsuth was but
the natural fruit <'f his devotion to lioertv.
Dr. Doane has left a wife and several children
to deplore their sad bereavement. His remains
are to be conveyed to Boston tor interment.

1 i morning. Kossuth visited the Alkali Worki
of Hasan Dennett, Herr? A Co , at Birmingham,
whose laboien had appropriated one week's wages
to tbe Hungarian fund, lie * as addressed on behal
of the workmen, by Christian Keyser, one of tkeir
number, who was for many years a prisoner m
Europe, for manifesting too much sympathy ia be?
half of the liberal cause.
Kossuth responded, expressing his gratification at
such movements of the working men, and thanain*
them for their kindness.
After lnipecting the Soda Worm, the Governor
proceeded to a large, unfinished f undry in the
i.eigh oihood. when- were assembled a large BOa>
course of the citizens of Birmingham.
Dr. Kerr here addressed Kossuth, oa behalf of the
Birmingham Association of the friends of Hungary,
and pretexted him with a handsome sum, the avails

their sympathy in the same practical manner
Attheciose of his address, a workman, named

ornor th?t his associates had this morning come |r>
gether and made up a purse of material aid. whieh
would be handed ;n by the ( oiumi.tee, who aad
sent biui over to muke known their acts.
Kossuthreceived this deoioniiration with much
emotion, repeatedly grasping the hard and b'ack
ei ed hand of the honest laborer, who bid evidently
laid down his hammer, bal for the moment, aid ap?
peared in his working garb. The OoWSOf com?

of toil, ?ho, too industrious to arafts tneir time in
idle curiosity, made up their ottering to the cause of

MEETING the CLEBGY. ,
This afternoon hnssuth met the Clergy in the
t uinbeilai.d Presbyterian Church, mid * 11
dressed on their behalf by Ker. Dr Mairill.
The Governors reply was exceedingly appropri
:ite, full or avowals of principles, and beautiful
combinations of the influences of civil and religious
liberty as inseparable companions.
Subsequently, J. t . Vaugban. Es.| , of Cleve?
land, presented Kossuth an invitation to visit that
city.
