HES3E Cjjt pelatot g er alii. SMYRNA, DEL. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1854. Fourth or Jolt.—W e would direct the at tention of our readers to a call, in another colmnfi of to-day's paper, for a meeting tobe *h-ld at the Odd Fellows' Hall, in this place, on Friday evening next, to make preparations for celebrating the approaching 4th of July. It will be remembered that our celebration last year passed off to the utmost satisfaction of all. Can we not have one this year that will do equal-credit to our patriotic cilixens. No one will question the propriety of making the 4th of July a National Jubilee. We should feel proud of our liberty ; happy that we can meet and procla m our independence without fear of the knout or guillotina. Wo would indeed be recreant to the magnanimous impulses of our sature, if the annual return of that day did not awaken in our bosoms the latent energies of gratitude and joy. We hope to see a good turn out at the meeting, on Friday evening.

At the recent town election, Maine Law men were elected, who will watcli the enemy with great fidelity. The Hon.

This gallant little State met the enemy in its recent election, and temperance triumphed largely, from Governoor to door-keeper. We reckon the law will now be enforced in Rhode Island, and that the whining of liquor-sellers that the law is a dead letter will soo.i cease. New Hampshire. Our friends in this State elected a Legisla ture, the lower house of which is in favor of enacting the Maine Law, while the Senate is doubtless opposed to the whole thing. The Grand Scribe of the Sons of Temperance in the Suto informs us, that our friends there, arc wide awake and determined to do battle till they succeed. Good ! we glory in your spirit Connecticut. The Legislature of this State, now in ses sion, is in favor of prohibitory legislation by a very large majority. Governor Dutton, in his message to that body, lust week, presents the claims of our cause, and discusses the justice, necessity and constitutionality of a law of pro hibition, with great ability and candor. The Legislature will doubtless act fully up to his suggestions, and do the work for which they were elected. We have done a great deal of hard wrerk in Connecticut in years past, and now we most heartily rejoice with onr friends that the day of deliverance draweth nigh.— When the law is enacted, shouldn't we like to be Grand Juror in old Hartford for about "forty days. . , to enact a law to suppress the traffic, the friend, of such legislation are now coining before the people in good earnest.

Right, brethren! press on to the contest with fresh courage, for you are sura to succeed. Ohio.

Messrs. Editors:— In the Herald of May 17lh, I not.ced a statement prepared by Hon. Edward Evsrett, showing the cost of Ruai for the past ten years in the United Slates. In view of the approaching contest in November, between Temperance and Intemperance,(which I have no doubt will be the subject of dispute,) in the " Diamond" State, 1 have thought it not amiss to make a rough estimate, to show the citizens of Delaware how much they are inter ested in the suppression of the traffic, in intoxi cating liquors. I am eprry that lam not at present in possession of any documents upon which to found an accurate statement, but the present one approximates nearly enough to cor rection for the purpose we have in view. Now, assuming Delaware to contain 80,000 inhabitants, and that there are 20,000,000 in the whole Union ; and, also, let us assume that Delaware is a sufferer in equal proportion with other States, then we have the following: 1. It his cost the State of Delaware in direct expenses, 2. In indirect expenses, 3. It has burnt and otherwise de stroyed property to the amount I 82,000,000 2,400,000 20,000 -j 84,420,000 of 4. It has destroyed 1,290 lives, - 5. It has made 800 widow's, 6. It has made 4 maniacs, - 7. It has made 4,000 orphans, • 8. It has caused 6 murders, 9. It has caused 8 sucidcs, 10. It has consigned to jails and prisons, - 1,200 SCO 4,000 0 S G00 ■1 6,(118 11. It has cost a foul blot upon the fair name of Delaware. Admitting this estimate to be correct, (anil I believe it is much too low.) and we have as the tain total of the expenses arising from the truf fic in "distilled damnation " for ten years, the sum of four millions four hundred and twenty thousand dollars, or four hundred and forty-two thousand dollars per annum! As an offset to this sum, one of the founders of the rum party of Frederica, if I mistake not, stated that the rumsellers' l.censes amounted to two thousand five hundred dollars per annum. Now, let us figure up and see how stands Dr. and Cr. : Rcm— To Stale of Delaware, Dr. To expenses arising from protect ing said Rum in the State aforesaid, 8442,000 per annum, for ten years, 84,420,000 84,420,000 Cr.—B y amount received from said Rum, for licenses, 82,500 per annum—ten yeara, • 35,000 Balance due, Four millions three hundred and ninety-five thousand dollars now duethe State of Delaware, for legalizing the sale of this infernal monster for the last ten years! And where did this de ficiency come troir.l The tax-payers—we say. t__■ . , . i j , ; Look <tt th e picture, ye honest, hard-working __, r,. ' i . • ,, , . P men!

Resides, the grammatical blunders of hie amanuensis are as perceptible, to the grammatical student, as were those made bv Sephus himself * ' ' v * ^ His errata is quite a novelty in the history, of letter-writing. I suppose, though, that he wishes the people to think that he was misre presented, by the frequency of those errors. 1 guess the people don't think so. He thinks " tb. t is a pitiful cause which has to be kept up by such faithless and ungenerous props;" und, in the next paragraph comes out and tells us that he is " going right in for the Maine Law -to its fullest extent." He will have to be more consistent than that if he comes over to our ranks, or we shall expel him therefrom, and probe bis nerves with the barb of criticism, though be had D, D., M. D., or L. L. D., all attached to his name. None of these would screen him. Whether or not this Elder Peter Meredith, alias Sephus, Sec A Fuss, really means what he says about his purposes and intentions in the future, we shall possibly have an opportunity of judging from the forthcoming productions which he has promised to the public. And as he has got some one to do his spelling and writing, how do we know but that he has also got some ! one to do the thinking and reasoning also! (I ; would like to have a secretary too, if I could j afford one—it would save me the trouble of ] writing, and then I could use their ideas and j suggestions, and nobody would know but that I done it. No insinuations, however, on Sephus j or his amanuensis.)
