the license question,
The Whigs,--wc are now speaking ef
them a, Wings, and not as license or ma,
license mcn-wcrc generally in favor of,As
passage ofthe present license law And
why1 For tho simple reason thsIu cfc.
,un'ly scpcru'od nm exciting subJec, from
polite. ltos,hcr and enabled the people 1,
vote on this question u, they saw 6t,wrhoq,
reference to party tic, The Ioco,a, PIT.
,y are oppo''d TO this law--and why il
this1 Because they, being in the minofy
and knowing the excitement thu, ciiy, in
reference to the sa OF liquor in our co,nmu
nifty, and hoping 10 make political ,ap,lal
out OF this eXcnemcnt--tn,hcr prefer TO sec
this question decided either uay than MOTTO
realize their hopes in regard 1t We tc
specially ask our friend, the Major, to
point on, fairly aud honestly, any adyan
Wings, Us regards this question: Tro
Wing papers in Vermont came on, openly
/ in favor Of the amt. lconce party and on,
ioeofoco pap.r-,he Wlndhnm County
Dcmocrnl--nnd which is supposed to be the
especial organ Of the loco nominee for Gov
as thoroughly maintained The same position
/ The Age took to the other side and with
these tour exceptions, every Wing AMI 10.
foco paper IN Vermont maintained, on ;an
question, NEUTRAL ground. Look too, ut the
counties tina, have decided this question
favourable TO the wishes Of those who
favor wha, they call ju1icious licenses
Windsor, RuNand, Windham are there
any stronger Wing counic, in the sta'c
than ,hc.c1 Ifthcre arc we Do no, know
Of them
But lett now rcvc,t briefly to the action
oflhc leading loco. Of Rutland County on
this question. As usual, in such cases
their symra,hics were wonderfully excited
in behalf ofrhosc who conceived that thor
natural rights were abridged and even,
when they found miserable Sot' who i't
queer to ;hink that he could not get nlll.c
rum he wanted md sqnan1cr his earrings
MS he pleased, and especially # he was a
Wing, and had a vote - give Ih'y
would take him by the hunl-symr'
thize with him in his liillcions and kindly
remind him that these things would te
done away when the locos came INTO power
But how did the actions Of these men com
pare with their profss'on1 No sooner
was the present law passcd-n law which
we believe large majority Of those On TON
sides Of the question ut issue will idvot--
than they branded it as Wing law nn1
came on, in opposition TO H. And al '|e
frs, County meeting held here by the party
afer the passage Of this lava ticket com
posed entirely Of loeos, was formally nom
mated for license commissioners, and WIN
the e1pyes design, Of d,snhecllng the Wig
portion Of what was called the liberal party
and thus enable them 10 dcjedt The party IN
favor OF licensing.
The action Of this meeting was rcrnd'a'
ted and n convention called oi,hose without
distinction Of party who were in favor Of
license being judrciousIy granted Did tie
leading and prominent locofocos Of Rl'lanl
County attend this Convention No
There were ten wings TO one locofoeo -
aud the gentleman who had before m'''.
fcscd so much anxiety bf the success u
liberal principles" kept away and many
OF the icadiag iocos IN our own town an
village would not attend tho meeting -no'
would they vote on the question at the .cr
