" Merry Carlisle ha© a just ennse of
%lion against her Dean for trying to rob her
of her ancient character for good-humour. He
really ought to be removed as soon as possible to
the watery diocese of Bath and Wells, or perhaps
Cork would be a fitter promotion for so determined
a stopper cf bottles. With what propriety, we
should like to know, do these societies call them-
selves after the virtue of tern peranee P We ask
the question because, if there is one thing abused
More than mother at their meetings, it is tempe-
rance itself. We should all join them in denoun-
cing excess, but they are just as ilutolerunt of mode-
ration. A temperance society means a society to
put down temperance. Only listen to the Dean.
" His Christian friends had no idea of the extent
and ramifications of the misery occasioned in this
country, not by drunkenness, but by drink—by the
thing itself, by that which intoxicates." The fal-
lacy here is too palpable to need exposure; drink,
or" the thing itself," is not a convertible term with
" that which intoxicates," for a moderate glass of
ale or wine has no such effect, so that, in denoun-
cing it, the Dean is really denouncing one of the
cardinal virtues. And he does it so intemperately
as to speak in the following irreverent strain of
the Bible itself, because he finds it impossible to
force either its precepts or examples into his service.
" He did. not care what they call it, or what the
Bible might call it, but it was the something that
Made people drunk, whatever that might be, only
it was not water." Here is the style in which an
evangelical divine of the first mark, or more pro-
perly the first water, talks of the Bible, when he
fails to wrest it to his purpose. The Scriptures
not only indirectly sanction but expressly proscribe
the moderate use of the very thing which Dean
Close tells mankind they must not touch as they
'value their immortal souls. The Dean only wants
'the power to turn our wine into water ; but we
know who it was on a jovial occasion performed
Just the opposite miracle; and we know also who
it was that, with the wine-cup in his hand, ordained
the solemn rite most distinctive of Christianity.
111 truth, if there is one production of the teeming
earth more countenanced than another by scriptural
authority, unfortunately for Dean Malvolio itis the
juice of the grape ; yet he has the hardihoodito call
It u an artificial drink which God never intended
Man to take, and which man only drank to his own
misery."
The Dean went on to say—" he had often thought
people appeared stupid, and when he came to ask
the cause, the answer was Drink." Water-drinkers,
we suppose, are never stupid, though this is a truth
we should not have discovered from the speeches
made at temperance societies, not even from those of
President Close himself. For a specimen of a stupid
speech, which wine is not responsible for, we need
not go beyond that which is before us. The follow-
ing rubbish, if due to the potations of the evening,
is a positive warning against water-drinking, show-
ing how low the faculties may be brought by it.
" Whatever made men drunk—he would not say
reduced them to the level of the beast, for beasts
sever get drunk—but whatever reduced them to
the state of madmen robbed them of their mental
Power, so that they could not distinguish right from
Wrong; this was the evil that percolated through
society."
We must drink nothing but water to reach such
a truth as that " whatever reduces people to the
state of madmen robs them of their mental power !"
But we hardly know which most to admire, the
Dean's depth of thought, or felicity of language, or
knowledge of natural history, exhibited in the asser-
tion that beasts never get drunk, being the direct
contrary to facts with which we thought everybody
Was familiar. Swine, for instance, are notorious
drunkards; they cannot drink in moderation, and
it would, therefore, be perfectly right to invite a
Pig to become a teetotaller. Dean Close's preach-
ing would have a propriety in sties which it has not
la the resorts of men, who are gifted with reason
expressly to draw up at the boundary-line between
temperance and excess, or right and wrong. What
is the intellect for, if the doctrine is to be received
that it is impossible for men to enjoy the good
things of this world in moderation ? And if
well-founded, why is it not extended to other
things ? Why not to money, for example ? Is
the love of gold less perilous to souls than the love
0! wine ? The Scriptures, if they are of any autho-
rity, affirm the very contrary, -for they describe
liches, not wine, as the root of all evil. How much
I)etter,then, to renounce them altogether, and abstain
entirely from filthy lucre, which, it is curious
enough, was the only case in which total abstinence
Was recommended by the Author of our religion—
`` " Sell all that thou hast and give to the poor ;" but
Were Dean Close told to do so likewise, he would
probably
treat the text with as Jlittle respect as lie
..40e8 the innumerable authorities for the temperate
New
of the grape to be found in both the Old and
'Jew Testaments. Gold is a fine thing, and no man
have too much of it ; a fig, th e Dean would pro-
aoly cry, for what the Bible say s to the contrary.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY

THE BALLOT.

The following letter has been addressed by the Hon. W
F. Campbell, member for Harwich, to the Provost of Jed-
burgh, containing some new suggestions with reference to
the question of the Ballot.
TO THE PROVOST OF JIDET_TRGH.

Sir,—Your high position in the North, and the local tiee
between your borough and my family, make me anxious to
submit to you a question which concerns every first magis-
trate and town councillor throughout the country.
However great the apathy on organic change, when the
Gevernment of the day propose to alter the Reform Act,
the long agitated subject of the Ballot cannot be passed over;
as no measure which excludes it altogether can be re-
garded as a final one; as a large majority of Liberals are
pledged to its support; as it is a change designed to in-
crease the power of those who vote at present, while
nearly all the other changes yet discussed are calculated
(for good or else for evil) to take that power away.
If you reflect on the position of the Ballot as a ques-
tion, you will not, I think, fail to discover a balance of
argument on the one side of authority and influence
upon the other.
On the one side it is contended that bribery is by far the
most established and alarming blot of the Reform Act;
that, under different forms, it equally prevails in small and
large constituences ; that no remedy except vote by ballot
has been left untried ; that none has been of service ; and
that, as a poorer class of voters is created, unless new
agencies control it, such bribery is certain to extend. It is
further argued on this subject that between a ten-pound
criterion and household suffrage, no resting place is pos-
sible ; that under household suffrage the great mass of
voters would be dependent in their circumstances, however
just in their opinions and their views ; that to impose upon
them the necessity of voting openly for candidates would,
in point of fact, be arming station, property, and capital
with power they have not yet acquired to influence
elections. The ordinary case in favour of the Ballot
was well known to the world before 1832-has
since been frequently enforced by Mr. Grote, Sir
William Molesworth, and Lord Macaulay; has
gained strength at every general election ; so that if it
makes no kind of progress now, its defoat would appear to
be irrevocable. On the other hand, besides the united body
of Conservatives and the majority of landowners, the most
accomplished journalists and influential Statesmen of the
day, oppose the general adoption of the Ballot, prefering
changes more extensive in their scope, as the alternative.
It is under these ciraumstances that I venture to invite
you to consider an adjustment of a question in which some
compromise appears to be essential.
It is not now for the first time that the principle of grant-
ing to constituencies the option of voting secretly or openly
in Parliamentary elections has been mooted. As yet no
method has been indicated in which the application of the
principle is feasible. The option conceded to the body of
the electors without determining whether this previous
question should be decided by secret or open votes. And
hhre the difficulty is insuperable.
That within constituencies there are better means of
judging in which form they can most effectually discharge
their duty to the public than there are beyond them, is a
point which, in the abstract, you would not be inclined to
contest.

The application of the principle which I respectfully sub-
mit to you is, that the power of determining by which
method an election should proceed be vested in the first ma-
gistrate and town council of each borough which sends
members, and in which town councillors are chosen by the
rate-payers. Before the town council the question of con •
ducting a Parliamentary election secretly or openly would
come in the same way as any other business of the moment.
Altkough you may pause before assenting to a novel pro-
position of this character, it will, I trust, occur to you as
one which neither party is committed to oppose.
In dealing with a recent question the Tory party gave
the :House of Commons a discretionary power to admit
Jews or to exclude them, with a certainty that the power
would be exercised in the direction which they feared,
and not in that which they approved, while for
many years the general admission of the Jews had been
resisted by them. Except as to the certainty al-
luded to, the cases are analogous. The shelter of the pre-
cedent belongs is all who shared in that arrangement, in-
cluding nearly every opponent of the Ballot. As regards
those who are prepared to sanction its general adoption by
a compulsory law, but who have :not any prospect of
obtaining it, they are not in any manner pledged against
a scheme which must partially establish the kind of voting
they desire. _

The practical effect of such a measure is what you
would wish at first to ascertain. As far as I can judge,
where Liberal opinions prevail in a town council the Ballot
would be frequently adopted ; where Conservative opinions
prevailed in a town council it would be more frequently
renounced. In some boroughs, tkerefore, the change
would be resorted to. In others, Parliamentary elections
would go on as they do. If the operation on the
Ballot were found such as many hope, its gradual and
general adoption would be certain. If it wore found such
as enlightened opponents fear, the town councils who had
tried it would recede from it. Can you desire more than
some machinery by which the eventual triumph or defeat
of a popular opinion would depend upon its truth, and by
which, if nothing could be gained, nothing would be
hazarded!

Should any general opinion be formed amongst the
provosts, mayors, and town councillors of boroughs in
favour of the compromise adverted to, you will admit, at
least, that no Government could easily withhold it. If
petitions for the Ballot came from every constituency, a
Minister might still deny the policy of granting it, ,
If petitions for discretionary power on the question came
from every town council, a Minister, however rash, would
hesitate before disputing the capacity of such local bodies to
decide the best form of voting in the boroughs of which
they managed the affairs. The result is that the concur-
rence of town councillors would secure the measure I have
brought under your notice, and that as soon as it engages
their attention its fate depends on them alone.
It is true, however, that what is undeniable in principle
may often lead to inconvenience in its practical effect. The
local obligations of town councils may be in the way of
their deciding freely on the mode of conducting Par-
liamentary elections. Without a knowledge of their
feelings the State would not be justified in adding
new responsibility to functionaries whose duties were
not light before. It would be impossible, or at least pre-
sumptuous, for any one to raise the question in the House
of Commons, without ascertaining the opinion of corpora-
tions on its tendency.
Unless, however, such a plan strikes you as wholly Inad-
missible, I shall bring it before the first magistrates of
other towns, besides that over which you have so long and
so impartially presided.—l am, sir, your faithful servant,
London, Jan. 18, 1860. War. F. CAMPBELL.
