Ilor family namo was Prince, inherited from Thomas Prince one of the early governors of the colony ol Plymouth, and celebrated as a wise and able man in the Puritan annals of New * England. On the maternal side, she iraces her ancestry to President Oakes, a divine of distinguished learning and character, who presided over Harvard College, lor several years eminent success. While still almost a child, having scarce attained the age ol sixteen, she was married to Seba Smith, a gentleman of ability, worth, and high social standing, at that time the editor ot a leading political newspaper in Portland, and since then honorably distinguished as the author of numeruus conurbations to the public jour, nals, and of other creditable works of a humorous, poetical, didactic, and scientifio Xfte'r'residing for some years in Port, land, whero she commenced her literary career, Mrs. Oakes Smith removed with ' her family to New York, and has since made that city, or its immediate vicinity her permanent abode. Engaged in tho education ot her children, and in the com* position of imaginative and philosophical works, much of the time depending for su|Dport on the labors of her pen, (as her husband had previously shared iu the diaasteis of the well known speculations in Maine lands,) her course has been one of constantly widening interest; her intellect has taken a more extensive range and a loftier flight; her views have gained in precision, depth, and application to affairs ; her powers of expression and illustration have increased in vigor and brilliancy j with no diminuation of her uncommon po. etical gifts, she has found new attractions in the investigation of universal principfeS of philosophy ; and has wedded the earnest cultivalion of intellectual truth to ber native passionate worship of the beautiful and the go id. Pittston, May 5 185 4 tf The time has come when every voter must let his influence be felt on this great question. We must be for or against the traffic in intoxicating drinks. The queshas never before been presented to '.he voters of the State in so isolated a form. Heretofore the friends of temperance have been divided in regard lo men, ond many of them could not see that it was their du* ty to leave their parlies and vote a temperance ticket. Now we are asked to vote for a principle not for men. Vote for whom you please, but be sure and vote Prohibition and thus strikes blow that will free forever our noble State from the galling fetters of a most debasing slavery. The cry of Prohibition is coming to us from the North and from tile South, from the East and from the West. Let our response be loud and clear—P-ohihitioit.

Alio on baud a gfwil variety of tution of the United States to proven*, any State from regulating and restraining the liquor traffic or from prohibiting it alto gctlier if it thinks proper." Other Judges of the S. Court have expressed themselves to the same effect. If it is right to puss luws for the security of the public peace, the security of property, the security of life, for security against a power that destroys botli soul and body for lime and eternity ; if that is constitutional, it cannot be unconstitutional to pass a law prohibiting the liquor traffic. If it is right for us to lay our hands on the poor bloated drunkard who staggoas throup It our streets uttering oaths that would pollute the atmosphere of hell, and bring him to juslice ; it cannot but be wrong to license men to put tho cup to their neighbor's lips and tempi them to drink. We havo pointed those engaged ill the liquor traffic to the evils flowing from their business. If their money is the price of blood we should not receive it into our treasury. Being satisfied tha: a "prohibitory law" does injustice to no one, and is imper atively demanded by our necessities, icc asked our Legislators to puss such a /aw. Petitions to that effect signed by thousand* and tens of thousands of our b?st citizens, for several years past, have been presented to them Our petitions have to a great extent been disregarded- The impression prevailed that the petitions were signed by a lurgc number of women and children who, our legislators by some strong hal, uncina'.ion seem to imagine are no part of ELIZABETH OAHES SMITH.

We have exposed it in every possible w«v, and have warned men ogaiust it by all the misery and crime to which it leads in thi* life, nnd the terrors that clus. ter around the drunkard's death. Wc have formed societies and pledged men not to touch the maddening poison. You know the history of the old Temperance pledge, the total abstinence pletige, and the order of tho Sons of Temperance.— These efforts have not been without good results. They were ncccessary as prepar alory measures, but they were not calculated to reach and remedy the evil. There is power in moral suasion, and in the pledge, but there is more power in temptation. If we would inlluence men by mor. ul suasion, and bind ihem to what is right bv pledges, we must nol lead them into temptation to do wrong. But that is whul we have been doing. We have been persuading men not to diink intoxicating liquors and taking their pledges to that effeet, and at the same time have kept the sparkling wine cup before them, and tempted them to drink. 'Cnis is the secret of the reason why so many reformed di uukards went back to their cups. They could not resist the power of a temptation always before them for which llieir appetite craved continually. If it was right to take their pledges not to drink, it was wrong to license others to tempt them to drink. The idea prominent in the minds of some of regulating the traffic in intoxicating li. quors, is that on which our license system is based. Our license luws are dosigned to regulute and restrain what is acknowledged to be a dangerous traffic. Hut to what do they amount' Would thcevils ol the traffic be greater if no licenses were granted T Any man who hos money to buy a gluss of liquor can get it now, aad we do nol suppose the credit of drinking men would be any better if no licenses were granted. It is true the license laws are not as s'riot as they might be nor should be, but can ihey be so amended and executed as effectually to put a stop to intemperance ? A license to sell intoxicating ' liquors as a beverage, is nothing more than a lieense to make drunkards. Poets may be born, but drunkards ate made. They are made from sober men, and at our most respectable drinking houses It is in vain to tulk ot regulating this traffic, so long as it receives the sanction of law the stream of deaih will flow on. This is ourconviction, and it is confirmed by the recent attempts made in Philadelphia and elsewhere to execute the license laws. We have nothing to hope for in this direction. Stringent license laws, faithfully executed may effect s'tme something, but they do not strike at the root of the evil. This is now the judgment of temperanco throughout the State. Our Stute Central Committee in their recent report present this thought forcibly if not elegantly—thus.

And we confess more partiality to this, than to a more frail or sparo female figure. She has every index of a very strong constiiution, including excellent digestion, respiration, sleep, and muscular ac.ion. In development she is more stalely and lofty than inviting, as seen in her posture and natural language. She is copccituted for extreme longevity. Her head is lurge—almost massive, and fully develloped in each of the cardinal regions—the affection#!, energetic, moral and intellectual.

Like most of persons endowed with the temperament of genius, her first original productions wero iu poetry. Sho early made acquaintance with the Aiuses, and they have since rewarded her liberally with their selectest gilts. Her poetical efforis are remarkable fur the fine imagi* nation with which they are vitalized, the exquisite sense of natural beauty to which they are indepted for their singular delicacy and refinement, their earnestness and profundity of thought, and the beautiful union of pensive sentiment, amounting at times to a sweet sadness, and a cheerful religious trust, which stamps them with a character of peculiar pathos and purity. Her most elaborate poem, entitled the " Sinless Child," has won the admiration even of fastidious critics. It is a productiou of uncommon tenderness and grace, HlusD trating the most elevated and winning traits of humanity, hy images of surpassing loveliness. Less finished in their cxeou* lion,but no less powerful in their appeal to the spontaneous emotions of the heart, are " The Acorn," and a profusion ot short lyrics, beside* several sonnets and descriptive pieces. Nor has she been less successful in the difficult, and perhaps the highest deportment of poetical creation, the drama. Her tragedies entitled the ■' Ro. man Tribute," and " Jacob Leisler," display great skill iu construction, and a force and versatility of diction, in admirable harmony with the deep passion and noble sentiment which those pieces em* bod v.
