and grand jurors were not able to find bills-and
. beyond that, he believed that the effect Of all
attempts to force temperance was to strengthen
the resistance Of those accustomed TO drink, ana
10 preclude access to them by moral sunsiof.--
Mr. Squier opposed the bill in his town the law
was not repugnant to the people at large NY
have sustained the law, they have not asked Tor
its repeal and ii would i'll become the Legislature
TO take the subject from their hands. Mr. Hand
dissented from the opinion expressed by Mr.
Parker-the existing law had produced the hap
piest effect in his section Of Orleans county,
and he opposed the present bill. Mr. Walker
opposed the amendment-he wished the ques-
ton of repeal 10 stand unembarassed.
In the afternoon, the amendment Of Mr. Bel.
ding was rc-cousdcred, when Mr. Squicr moved
10 dismiss the bill MIR Cuts supported the mo-
too, replying to the objection that the law had
not been successful, by saying, that il was too
much to expect that any law would in single
year accomplish its cnd-improvoments are
gradual. But this law has been good; the very
objection that il was defeated, because of secret
drinking and illicit sales Of liquors, proves the
power Of the law for good. II was positive
advantage gained that public drunkenness with
its tlemorazing influences, has been driven into
by-paces and dark corners. II had been said
that all laws Should be repealed: on this pFinoi-
pie, why should not all flaws against then and
every other crime be repealed? lie believed
the true source Of objection TO the present law,
was distrust of the people but he was willing
to trust them, and urged It upon the representa-
tivcs OF the people that il Ill became them to
abridge the privileges OF their masters After
n few further remarks from Mr. Smith OF Waits
field against the bill, and in favor Of dianissine,
the question was put--yeas 81, nays $50 the
bill was dismissed.
