2. ResOlved, That in contrasting Rut-
laud County with the Counties in the Safe
where licenses are Withheld, and where
intoxicating drinks are sold, in open and
score, violation OF the law, we have every
reason to be thankf1I for the resnI, Of the
frs, election Of Commissioners in our
County, and should be stimulated and en-
couraged to labor for the same result in
the coming election.
8. Resolved, Tha! if by Withholding
licenses the evils Of inlemperance could be-
all should labor to that end
Tor the public good; but experience has
shown in this County and in other sees
tions of the State, that such is not the fact,
and that where licenses have been with
held, the evils have been increased, while
other grea, and serious evils have follow
el in their train.
A. Res0srsd, That all should take an
snterest in the coming election and attend
and cote consistently on whichever side
they may be found.

aoeU concerted action, Rutland County
