THE TELEGRAPH.
BRANDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2e

THE LICENSE LAw."-We invite alien
ton 10 the article under this head. Nothing
could be more egregiouslv inconsistent than
our laws. They first license the sale of
| articles which are known to be the direct
cause OF crime, and then annex penalties to
these very crimes Of their own production.
a case in point has just occurred in this
town. Under the provision of the lao,
intoxicating drink was sold to man until
ne became drunken, insane and violent, that
he threatened the lives of his fellow citizens.
The t0to now came in to do its counterpart :;
and, dragged from his disconsoIate, penni-
less wife and helpless babes, he is locked
up IN Jail, 10 answer to the ldlo!
There are those who place the guilt of
such transactions principally on the heads Of
those who vend the poisonous drink. That
they are guilty enough, it is beyond contro-
versy-and we join most heartily in repro
batting their unchristian, unneighbory and
lnhuman conduct--but it will not do 10 sion
here. DEPRIVED human nature is too much
inclined TO regulate human conduct bv the
la" Of the land, regardless Of the law of
God. The laws Of this Christian land
pretend to be founded on the Bible and
equity. 1t must therefore be expected that
those who live for the lust of gain, will
content themselves with keeping within
the limits Of the former, taking no trouble
about the requirements Of the latter. No
matter how much the guilt Of the traffic IN
poison is held up-and the outlines of
those who are Immediately engaged in it,
The more of this the better, If it be not lost
sight Of that there is radical wrong to be
removed BY the people. To effect the de-
sired object, the law-making power must
be put in requisition. We trust therefore,
that brief, simple, comprehensive form of
a memorial, to the next Legislature of Yer
mont, for the total Introduction OF the traffic
in intoxicating drinks, will be got up by
some competent person or persons, and cir
culated among the people at an early date.

II will not, perhaps, be out Of place
TO state the mode OF cultivation pursued
by the gentlemen con,ending for the
premium offered for the best acre OF
corn. especially the method that Mr..
Williams adopted 10 raise so large a
quantity on an acre Of ground.
Mr.. Williams flushed the ground as
deep as possible with a two-horse
plough, in March, and IN May harrow
ed and furrowed il 3 feet by 81. and
planted his corn. When up. he har-
rowed il again. and then thinned. il

rowed il three times. and plouShed il

The wheat crop was so much injured

thought il useless TO measure IL with ar
