TREATING BEFORE ELECTIONS.

We copy the following from the Temper
ance Advocate, and ask the vo:crs OF this Dis
trict to give the subject their serious coHsdera-
ton. Although the practice Of treating has not
been carried TO the extent in this, that it has in
other Districts, it has been carried far enough
for many evils tc result from II, and as there are
but few who do not condemn the practice, We
hope they will adopt a course similar 10 that CT
our neighbors of Richland, for a-restng the evil.
A Check on Bribcry.-Afcw gentlemen here,
(and who, by the way have no conncHi2n with
the Temperance reformation, save in THIS single
matter have organized form Of resistance 10 the
corrupting practice of treating before Elections,

any lawful measure for the purpose of suppress

esteemed citizen pledge somewhat like this

ourselves not TO support any candidate for any
Office who shall treat to Intoxicating liquors OF
any kind This pledge has been signed by be-

readiness with which almost every orc Who vas
asked, signed this pledge, shows determination
to put down this practice Of treating, at any, and
al ali hazards We have no IDEA that this will
entirely suppress the evil, but We believe it viii
give such check to the practice as well as cna-
bic candidate, who does not treat, 10 have fair
prospect of success. twill do mere; it will les

treating. 1t is seldom that there is an election
here that may not be controlled by hundred and

Ifbc treats, here are more than hundred and
fifty voters, who will III q body be t,rncd against

We would therefore say TO candidates, present
