Its an old saying, that "one story is
good till another is told" This will an.
ply to the warfare which has been car.
ried on through your paper for some
months past, about the subject of tenn
perance.
use the word warfare improperly.
perhaps, for in truth, the fighting has
been all on one side. Your paper just
ly claims the character of impartiality in
politics, and hoping you will be equally
Just in con~traverseys on other subjects,
shall venture 10 write and send YOU for
publication, a few ideas upon the other
side ofthe temperance question.
And here l wish TO be distinctly I'M
derstood, that | go for temperance in the
true meaning of the word; but | confess
am "tee-totally" opposed to laying men
under oligation 10 practice total absti
nence, for many reasons.
And first, because the Bible don't re-
quire it.
Secondly, because the laws of our
country don't require it.
Thirdly, because ii is signing away a
mans liberty.
Fourthly, because it creates unkind
feelings among neighbors, and disturbs
the fellowship of churches.
Filthy, because liquor is often useful.
Sixthly, because-but the above rea-
sons are sufficient for the present; but l
wish to improve this opportunity 10 de-

been made against US, Il mean the op-
posers of tee-totalism, and the preachers

posed to temperance-thi is false from

temperance, as far as the Bible is, and
that is enough 10 satisfy me.
End. We are charged in a miserable
dialogue, which some one fixed up TO
show his smartness, and which you will
allow me TO say, in my opinion, done but
little credit to your paper, with having
the drunkards on our side, and that we

This charge, and the whole dialogue,
