“ The day before we came in view of the
Rack, -,v],,u,_.,a'ms, I saw in the greatest pere
fectron, that impressive, and to tire almost sub-'
lime spectacle, an immense drove of wild,hor;‘-"
ses, for a long time lioveriug yonnd our p_‘atli
across the prairie. I had ' often seen great
numbers oftliein before, mixed with other an-
imals, apparently- quiet and -grazing like the
rest. Here there were thousands unmixed,
unemployed : their motionsf-ifsrich a com
parison might be allowed, as darting, and as
wildas those oflinmmiiig birds on the flow-
ers. Tiie tremendous Sll0.’l‘l.S with Wlllcli ‘ill!’-
froiit columns of-tlie phalanx made known
their approach to us, seemed to be their wild
and energetic way of expressing their pity $1.
disdain for the servile lot of our horses, at
Wlllcii they appeared to be taking a survey.-
They were of all colours mixed, spotted, and
diversified with every hue from the brightest
white to clear and shining black; and ofevery
forth and structure frotii the long and slender
racer, to those of firmer litribs and heavier
mould; and ofall ages, from the curveting
cult to the range of patriarchal steeds, drawn
up in a line, and holding their high heads for
a survey of us in therear.
‘~ Sometimes they curved their necks and
made no more progress than just enough to
keep pace with our advance —'I‘hen there was
a kind ofslow and walking minuei, in which
they perfonied v_arious evolutions with the pre-
cision oftlie figures ofa country dance. —
Then a rapid moveriieiit shifted the fr__ont to
the rear. Brit still, in all their evolutions and
moveriients, like the flight of sea-fowl,their
lines were regular, and free from all indica-
tions of confusion. At times a spoutaaeous
and sudden movement towards us, almost iii-
spired the apprehension of air united attack
upon us. After a moment’s advance, a short
and a rapid retrogade movement, seemed to
testify their proud estimate oftheir wild iride-
pendence. The infinite variety oftheir rapid
movements, their tamperings, and niandauvrr-s
were of such a wild and almost terrific ('Ilal'
actor, that it required but a moderate stretch of
fancy to suppose them the genii of lII€St-
grassy plains. At one period they were fortn-
ed for an immense depth in front of us. A
wheel, executed aluiost with the rapidity of
thought, presented them hovering on otir
flanks. Then,again, the cloud of dust that
enveloped their movements, cleared away,
and presented them in our rear. They evi-
dently operated as a great annoyaiicefito the
horses and mules of our cavalcade. The
frightcd movements. the increased indications
oflatigue, SUIIICl8lll.iy evinced, with their fre-
quent neighings, what unpleasant neighbours
they considered their wild compatriots to be.
So much did our horses appear to suffer from
fatigue and terror in consequence of their vi-
cinity, that we \V8l‘e'll1lnl{lllg of some way in
which to drive them off; it lien on a sudden a
patient and laborious donkey ofthe establish-
ment, who appeared to have regarded all of
their movements with philosophic indifi'err=nce.
pricked up his long ears, and gave aloud and
most sonorous bray from his vocal sliells.-—
Instantly this prodigious multitude, and there
were thousands ofthern, took what the Span-
ish call the “ stompado.” With a trainplirig
like the noise of thunder, or still more like
that ofan earthquake, a noise that was abso-
Iutely appalling, they took to their heels, and
were all in a few moments invisible in the ver-
dant depths ofthe plains, and we saw them
no more.”
The other passage to which we have allu-
ded is as follows :
I was encompassed by fotir Gueiillas, each
having two led horses, one uiiiiicumbered,and
one loaded with provisions. We had been
often apprised ofthe danger to be apprehend
ed from encountering a herd of wild liorses,
and were continually on the look out, partic-
ularly, as biit a few weeks before, an account
had come among us, ofthe total extinction of
a small cavalcade, small, but larger than ours
nevertheless, which was literally trampled to
dust, by a charge from one of these irresisti-
ble hordes. Never shall. I forget the day.-
Our advanced guard arose for a moment, in
his srirrups, or rather upon his feet, for he
leaped upon the saddle ; then instantly threw
off the reiii,witli which he led the spare horse.
sprang upon his back, abandoning his spent
and goaded creature, and set off at full gallop.
The other giierillas followed withoutspeaking
a word, in the deepest silence and coiisterna
tioii ; and 1, without knowing the reason, fol-
lowed them with similar feelings of dismay,
leaving our laden, and helpless horses behind.
Tlrcy weie fotir in number. The mystery
was soon revealed. My blood went “a rip-
plirrg to my finger ends.’ I felt my heart dis
solving, as ifsome iriipure thing had touched
and tainted it; never before had I felt such a
mortal terror, and there was, through all my
Vitals, after the first sudden electric chill, a
feeling ofgeneral lllriw and dissolution. I
had trirsd in vain to overtake my flying com
pariions, and learn the cause of their terror;
and was checking my horse in despair, when

FROM THE New YORK AMERICAN.
INTEMPERANCE AND EXCISE.
Amongst the dutiesinctimberit-uporr a le-
gislator, perhaps none is nioie important. than
that ofinaturely considering the moral effe ct
which the measures of government may have
upon the character and habits of the people.
A legislative body may not indeed be able to
correct the indulgence ofvicious inclinations,
long accustomed to gratification ; but it may
do much by adhering to .r preventive system‘
b_v ielraining fromthe adoption ofihesc mea-
sures which have a tendency to afford tempt-
ations to vice, or to turn the appetite ofthe
people, already perhaps perverted, into a
channel of.-greater depravity.
The intemperate use of intoxicating li-
quors has very generally been considered a
vice demanding most particularly the inter-
position of legislative constraint ; and the o-
pinion has as generally been received that
this restraint was to be effectually obtained
only by the imposition of taxes on the object
ofiiidulgence. for the purpose of raising the
price, and of thereby diminishing the con-
sumption. Governrirents have very readily
availed themselves ofthis idea, as it affords a
plausible pretext for the atiginentation of rev.
enue, and ample experiments have been made
in testing the correctness ofthe theory.
It still remains questionable, however, whe-
ther the lmprisllltin ofa heavy excise on home
niaiiiifactured liquors, and heavy duties on
those imported, has iiota teirdency to pro-
drice rather the opposite efi'ect from that for
which in a moral point of view it is usually
intended.
As far as any iiidiictioti can be made from
facts, the arguuieiit is decidedly against the
measure.
It is well known, that in Great Britain a
heavier tax both of excise and ofimportatiou
duty, is imposed on every description of spir-
itous or vinous liqrrors,rliau in any other conn-
iiy ; and yet in Great Britaiu,ainorigst a peo-
ple which lias made the greatest advances in
civilization and refiriement,tlie vice ofintenr-
perance is most prevalent. We cannot in-
deed say what the habits oftliat nation might
have been ifiio such dirty or tax had existed;
but we can compare their habits in this re-
spect with those ofthe people of every other
coriiitry in the world. whether ofa southern or
ofa nortliern climate, and we shall find that
intemperancc is no where so peculiarly a ira-
tioiial vice, as it is in Great Britain. Making
due allowance ofcorrrse for the intellectual
coirdition of the people,(tlie untutored savage.
and the scarcely less uiitutored back-settler in
every country being exceptions) their disposi-
iron to this indulgence arising, indeed. -from
exrraiieous causes, unconnected with the
point at issue.
It is admitted that the inhabitants of the
northern part ofthe continent of Europe are
riiore addicted to iuteiiiperate drinking than
those of the southern part ; that is more a
vice of cold than ofwarni climates ; but still
taking from these countries that portion of
their citizens who are either of British origin,
or have formed their habits from British in-
tercoirrse, and we shall find the vice ofintem-
perance confined to but a small portion of the
community, and very generally reprobated by
the rest. The same reriiark will apply tothc
people of this country: it is not surprising that
those who have acquired their nations their
tastes, and their habits of iutemperauce in a
country where the price ofthis indulgence is
exorbitant, should indulge themselves still
uiore freely when placed in circumstances
where the means of gratification may be eti-
joycd at a cheaper rate: but deducting from
our populaiioii those who have thus brought
their vices, already formed. from the other
side ofthe Atlantic, we sh ill find that the
proportion of the American people, strictly
considered, is much smaller than it is in G.
Britain. Amongst the people ofthe latter
country, notwitlistanding their excise and
their high duties, drinking is not only a vice
ofliabit brit of fashion; and this, ‘trio, witri
rich and poor. The English and Irish. espe-
cially, imbibe from childliood a notion. that
there is a degrce'of"g|ory in drinking: and
the vice even amongst those who are norad-
dicted to it, is rather a subject of pleasant re-
mark than of reprobatioii. Dine at the table
of the rich irian, and by far the largest portion
ofthe conversation turns upon the compara-
tive merit of his wines, or of those in‘ .-i nrre of
his neighbors. Travel vvlirro he tr--vr-ls and
you will find this all engrossing topic travel:
uiates, whether dear the poles or tlifi equator,
taste but his notion; although, perhaps. not
absolutely iriternperate, he has brought from
home with him" an idea of the vast imP"""
ance ofwine drinking. It would 569'“ lhal
the very extravagant taxes, which he had been
obliged to pay for this indulgence in his own
country, had instilled into his mind as extrava

imitation. The copyist aims perhaps at Plea‘
sing a British guest in the company: 0" hf’
Iias been in England, and wishes to have it
appear so. - - _
Again, associate with the English or 1115“
plebian, or even the Scotch, and you will find
the same idea of glory attached to feats Of
drinking. He does not indeed talk so much
of th e quality or denomination ofhis liquor ;
for he is not very particular on the first polfllti
and as to the second, he cotild not often_.d8~
termine by what appellation the liquid he has
been swallowing shorild be distinguished ;l.’"I‘_‘
his notions, his thoughts, and conversation all
run upon drinking. ‘Assemble a nuinber of
the common people of either of those ‘coun-
tries together, and you will find the conversa-
tion to turn mainly upon the faculty of swal
lowing strong liquo‘rs—-who can drink the
most, and who ‘was drtink the last. Follow
these people to the tropics——iinder the burn-_
ing sun of the West Indies, or the Gulf Ol
Mexico—-the idea of drinking seems every
where to form their principal notion ofliappi
ness. Iftliey can obtain the means ofindul -_
gence at a low price so much the better ;——rf
they cannot they will give all they have to
procure it. _ _
Amongst their statesmen and nobles it is
well known that some of the most distinguish-
ed for ability have been equally distinguished
for intempcrate drinking. The disease pe-
culiar to this gratification, which should be
regarded as a iuar of disgrace in Great Irri-
tain, is ennobled as an order of merit ; and to
terminate life by the GOUT is considered
scarcely a less becoming death for a prime
minister, than that of falling on the field Ol
battle would be for a military hero ———WiIh
the people it is equally notorious, as every e
lectiou for parliament demonstrates, that the
uiost powerful riieans of influencing their fa-
vor is to be forind through the medium ofthe
ale house; and the surest accessor to their
liearts in the copious libatroris ofthe dram
shop. In all this we may imitate them in this
country ; btit it is at best but a servile azrd
feeble imitation, arising from considerations
wholly distinct from the relative price of
strong liquor, unless wemay argue that the
comparative clieapiiess of liqrior in this corirr-
try is so great, that the distribution of it af-
fords the popular candida’e no hold upon the
affection of his consiitrieiits, {and on this ac-
count the consumption on such occasions is
the less important. This argtitiient, however
as far as it goes, would prove the necessity of
keeping the price ofthis indulgence as mrich
as possible within the reach of the poorest of
our citizens.
The foregoing remarks are not intended to
have any rnvidious bearing—all the excellen-
cies of the British character are duly appre-
ciated——it is only one ofits excresceiices that
has here been iroticcd. The inference inten-
ded to be drawn, and which it is believed must
be apparent to every one is, that by the alllplt-,
experiment afforded by the policy of the Brit-
ish government, it has been abundantly prov-
ed that a remedy for iriteinperance is not to
be fouad in a heavy excise, or heavy impost.
We shall endeavor. at some future time, to
show, that this very remedy, as it has been in-
judiciously considered, riiay have, and proba-
bly has had, an entirely different effect.
