for the grave consideration of the good peo-
pie Of Orange County. We are on the
eve Of another political contest. Already
is the voice otlhe clans-man heard calling
10 bis fellow. to be up and at his post.
The two great parties of the day are soon
to be arrayed the one against the other,

question:" What mean We to do in the
coming contest" Are you SO welded to

mean TO struggle for its ascendency, though
YOU murder the cause of Temperance in
the effort! You are no strangers to the

cause first gained secure footing among
us, it uttered rebuke, which was heard
and felt by its bitterest opposers. Men
though eager for political honorsa and motive
~ scrupulous as to the means by which
they were won, were yet ashamed tc

barbarous warfare upon which the presen
