Our friend Slamm of The Globe has leader on
The Temperance Question which takes strong
against all License and more especially all No Lii
cense Laws. 1t goes on the broad Democratic
ground that every body has right to eat and drink
what he peases-therefore to sell what he pleases
"a doctrine admired and insisted on in every grog
gerry gaming house and brothe in this or any other
City. Why not legislate in regard to the sale OF
deadly poisons I? it asks. Well, we rather suspect
that if the Globe man any other advocate for the
largest liberty to open shop for the sale Of
arsenic, &c. dc. to those who wished to poison
themselves he would find that there is law to take
hold Of him-pretty stringenty, too. The Globe
has fallen greatly in love with moral suasion,'
Father Mathew, &c. when the very men who insti-
gate these eleventh. hour praises Of Moral Suasion,
would have kicked poor Washingtonian off the
head of one of their rum barrels had he mounted it
year ago to preach Temperance to the passers by.
We have advanced; we shall be glad TO see that
