Whereas, Protection and allegiance are reciprocal duties, and every citi zen who yields obedience to the just demands of his government, is entitled to the full, free and perfect protection of that Government in the enjoyment of personal security, personal liberty and private property : and. Whereas, The traffic in intoxicat ing drinks greatly impairs the personal security and pcrsanr.l liberty of a lare en.;.? cf citivtens, and r:nd?rs private property insecure : and, Y.'r:T'"", T.'" '..:r. piril-: f Lc t)wk.5.:iy uavtiiiing to adopt actl l1 equate policy on this question, there fore, we in National convention assem bled, as citizens of this free Republic, sharing in the duties of its responsi bilities of its government, in the discharge of a solemn duty we owe to our country and our race, unite In the following declaration of principals : 1. That while we acknowledge the true patriotism and profound 6tate inanship of those patriots who laid the foundation of the Government, securing at one the rights of the States severally, and their insuperable union by the Federal Constitution, we would not merely garnish the sep ulchres of our Republican forefathers, but we do hereby renew our solemn pledges of fealty to the imperishable principals of civil and religious liberty embed ied in the Declaration o? American Independence and otr Federal Constiturion. 2. That the traSc in Intoxicatiig beverages is a dishonor to Christian civilization, inimical to the interests of society, a K)litical wrong of une equalled enormity, subversive of the ordinary objects of government, not capable of being regulated or restrain ed by any s'stem of license whatever, but Imperatively demanding for its suppression, effective legal prohibition both by State and National Legisla ture. 3. That in view of this, that inasmuch as the existing political parties cither oppose or Ignore this great and para mount question, and absolutely refuse to do anything toward the rum traffic which is robbing the nation of its brightest intellects, destroying inter nal prosperity and rapidly undermin ing its very foundations, we are driven by an Imperative sense of duty to Fever our connection with theso ftolitical parties, andorganizeourselves n to an anti-Dramshop party, having for Its primary object the entire suppression of the tra3c ia intoxicat ing drinks. 4. That while we adopt the name of anti-DramshoD cartv. as expressive of our primary object, and while we denounce all repudiation ortnepuDUC debt, and pledge fidelity to the prin cipals of the Declaration or indepen dence and the Federal constitution, we deem it inexpedient to give prominence to other political Issues. 5. That a Central .Executive uo ra mi tiee of one from each btate and Territory and the Dictrict of Columbia be appointed by the Chair, whose duty it shall be to take such an action as, in their judgement, will promote the Interests of tne party. T7IIHam Pitt Fessenden. Only two days since we were called upon to chronicle the death of one of our Cabinet officers. Scarcely is that announcement made, and we are again obliged to notice the decease of another of the leading men of the Nation William PittFessenden, Uni ted States Senator from Maine. His death occured at his home in Port land, at half after six yesterday morn ing. Mr. Fessenden was a native of New Hampshire, having been born in the town of lloscowen in that State on the ICth of October, 1S0G, and was conse quently nearly sixty-three years of age at the time of his death. Mr. Fessenden gratuated at Bow- doin College at an early age and af terwards studied and entered upon the practice of law. At the age of twenty six he was elected to the State Legis lature of Maine. In this position he served so acceptably that he was re-elected to the same position in the years 1840, 1S45. 1846, 1853, and 1S54. He was also elected a Representative in the Twenty -be venth Congress and de clined a re-election. In 1854 he was elected as a Whig to the United States Senate as a successor of J. W. Brad bury. He was re-elected to this posi tion in 1859, but resigned in July 18G4, when he was appointed Secretary of the Treasury under Abraham Lincoln. This position, however, he resigned, and was sent to the Senate again in 1 86-3 as the successor of Nathan A. Farwell, who had been appointed to nil the vacancy caused oy Ms resig nation the previous year. His pres ent term would have expired March 3d, 1S71, but he has been called away ere his work was finished. Hi3 vote on the impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson caused many to distrust him, hut we believe It was cenerallv con ceded that he was not of the number whose votes were bought, but that his action was an error of judgment. Certain it 13, that this act Is almost forcrotten, as we consider the great ability of the man and the valuable services he has rendered the Govern ment and the-cause of liberty in this country. Not Maine alone, but the Nation will mourn bis loss. The members of the Japanese colony in Eldorado county, California, are ia high spirits over their prospective good fortune. The mulberry trees which were three years old whea brought from Japan, are growing ra pidly, and the seed-nuts of the tea plant are coming up finely. Ilerr Schnell, the leader of the colony pays there is no doubt of the adaptability cf the foot hill lands of California to the cultivation of tea as compared with Japan.

These figures, it is faid, would be materialy increased If the returns from the several States were net ro imperfect.

Of the above States, Kansas, Neva da, and Missouri, acted upon imper fect telegraphic copies or tne Amend ment, and the Legislatures unifortu nately adjourned before official copies were received. On thi3 account it is contended that their action was in sufficient, and that their Legislatures upon again assembling must vote in its favor in order to render its ratifica tion legal. By the list given it appears tnat nineteen States have ratified the Amendment. The number of States in the above list is thirty-seven. To secure a complete and legal ratifica tion of the Amendment three-fourths of the States must vote in the affirma tive. As it stands, therefore, nine more are necessary. Mississippi, Vir ginia and Texas will probably ratify it in order to secure reconstruction. These voting for it, six states will still be wanting, and if passed, the vote must bo obtained from the following, viz: Alabama, California, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, ASeurasKa, JNew Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennes see and Vermont. We hope that these States vrill insure this Amendment to the country, yet we do net consider that its success is certain beyond per ad venture.

S. P. Majors.) M. S. Peeky. Com. J. F. Neal, J The name of Franklin ha3 now grown into great electricity. His mind was of a peculiar cast that re called the vigorous simplicity of the Greeks. He was a modern Solon, a speculative Thales. He had wander ed away from Boston a printer's ap prentice and had found employment and success in Philadelphia. From his parents he had received no inheri tance except the noblest a spottless example, a healthful constitution, a sane mind: and, after a vigorous struggle ana several failures, the phil osophic printer had won the re?pcct and attention of his fellow-town3men-He founded school librarie-3, and various institutions In his adopted home, and at forty-five he became one of It3 most useful citizens. Still Franklin lived obscure except to his narrow world, and its eminent powers had won Mm no general reuown, He had, perhaps, pleased himself In his youth with the hope of excelling in letters, he had formed hi.3 style by careful study of Addisicn, he wrote clear and sensible essay, that showed the purity of hu tasta and tne weak nes3 of hu fancy: and yet in literature had been far excelled in notoriety if not fame by hi3 unprincipaued com panion Ralph, irauklin's rare humor the Wit of a philosopher shines out in hi3, "Busy-body," his "Almanac," his "Ephemera," or his famous "Whistle," he uttered keen apothegm that live like those of Solon, and sharp satires that want-the bitter hopeless ness cf Diojrcnes. But his literature scarcely possessed the shining niark3 of genius, and was plain, cold and lifeless. He wa.s a great writer but he was never great. Hi3 genius like Bacon's lay in hi3 power of slwft in duction from moral or physical facta. In morals he was the wisest cf his contemporaries. He taught young mechanics that time is money that credit is money that honesty and self respect were better than wealth, luxu ry or any other success. His own la bors were unceasing, he wrote toiled, though Incessantly for his fellow-men he was noted and observed for his modesty and discretion; his acute mind was ever seeking for Useful nov elty in science and conduct; and hence, when Franklin came to stand before mankind, covered with his splendid and scientific renown, and representa tive or the new republic that seemed about to'revive the classic refinement of a better age, he was received in the courts of Europe as a worthy succes sor of the philosophers at Athens and lona. As Washington appeared be fore the world clothed in the 'purity, the probito, the valor of a Fabric. ious or a Cato, so Franklin was compared with the acute'sages and philosophers of Greece. To Franklin clecity owed the most wonderful of all it3 acheive ment3 in the eighteenth century. Eugene Lairrencc, in Jlarjicr's Magazine for Sejytembcr. EiTccts of Foolish Fashions. If the reputation for American heauty is to be sustained in the future, it will not be done in the great cities, where foolishness seems to reign ram pant in the way of beautifiers. If the sensible women of the country do not come to the rescue, our beauties will all be blanched and faded and pim pled beyond endurance before many years, No one can spend an hour riding or walking through the fash ionable portion of New. York City, at tend any place of amusement, or go to any evening party, without becoming aware of the horrible fact that many womenofwhom better thing3 might be expected, have fallen into the per nicious habit of applying to their skins the enuamels which, under va rious attractive names, .are advertised and sold in all parts cf the laud. Not only faded faces, but countenance so young, plump, and pretty in outline that thev must, in their natural con dition, be attractive,- are lacquered over with an unnatural coat of fine porcelain, producing an effect such a3 one might imagine if a china doll was aSiicted with consumption. This practice i3 not only disgusting to peo- P. le of rennement ana seusiDuuy, out t i3 deadly in its effects, the seed3 of disease and death being hidden in ev ery attractive pot and jar of thce mixtures,which are supposed not only innocent, but also to possess tne vir tues of the undiscovered fountain of perpetual youth. Some who use them will suddenly have a severe illness; and receive a private warning from the family physician, will cease their use, and recovering, go through Ufa with an extremely bad complexion, as a reminder of their foliy. Others will drop suddenly, with their f.-ai ares twisted to one si Je, and perhaps de prived of the use of their limbs. Oth ers will dia outright, no one guessing why. Thcs chct cn any particular person can aot t3 calculated. What one suffers paralysis from, may kill another outright. The only f aahiy is in having nothing to do with any of these balefal "preparations ;" mahing up for any hick of physical comeliness in that mental and inner beauty which no nostrum can produce but that of habitual serenity of temper, and -placid endurance cf what eviU besot us till we can remedy them ulti mately, and untirir. .: industry in soma congenial and prcJuale pursuit in life.
