provisions of the Law. Temperance taverus

ofthe law receives its effect The sale. as a
matter Of profit. must be open to careful
men, or nothing important is gained. Do
they see the thing thus, who signed this pa

who discover nothing important in the pro-
visions Of the license law, but the chance, il
the people allow it, for the unlimited purchase
and sale. lin careful hands,) Of ardent spirits.
These are the men, who declare the execution
of the will of the people violation of the
law, provided expressly to give their will fall
power No, the idea bellies them. They
are, some Of them, of better stamp oil men,
and do not honestly thus judge OF the value
Of a license law. Appetite and proht are
less important to some oil them, man

themselves rather, and knew not what they

TEMPERAN

In relation to the election of commissioners
under The licence law we have opened our
columns for fair discussion for The use ofboth
parties. We hope the subject will undergo
a thorough investigation and the people will
fully appreciate The vast importance of the
decision they are about 10 make No one
can have The hardhood TO oppose the prog
ress Of temperance. Among good citizens
the only question is as 10 the best measures
10 be adopted 10 advance this glorious cause.
The board 10 be selected should be such as
will &c; in The most prudent and judicious
manner in the accomplishment Of the object.
Ultraism on all sides should be avoided.
