The New Temperance Movement.

The New Temperance Movement.
Legal Suasion VS.. Moral Suasion.-The Lee
gislature ought not to give man license to make
his neighbor drunk. But, under the existing license
law, such is the Casa man goes out and meets
his felow-man, and stands up in society with the
endorsement of the law in his pocket. He has
license under the great seal of Louisiana, for the
prosecution of the business in which he is engaged,
and remonstranee can have effect upon such
man. If you should undertake to give him moral
lecture, he will ay to you, if you as lawabdng
as am, you will 60 about your business, and let
me and my business alone.
The license law was intended as a means of re-
gulatng this trffic, and deriving reusnus to the
treasury from the appettes Of men which are
stronger than law.
This we have seen is total failure. Where the
Government has received one dollar from license of
the sale of spiituous liquors. ten dollars have been
paid out Of the treasury in consequence thereof.
You may take the of gamblers and houses
of i'll fame. They have been amongst US from the
beginning of our history State, banded together
in considerable numbers; and such is their thirst
to make money, that you might derive large addi-
ton to the revenue from this immoral and mis-
chievous practice, by means of license. But the
State will no, do this. And why not? Because
it is evil-t is wrong-it is injurious to society.
The Legislature ought "to take such steps as
will authorize the citizens OF the State to vote at
the next general State election upon the ques ton
Of license or no license"
The citizens of the State ought to vote against
license, simply because it is wrong to authorize by
law that to be done which, in itself, and its conse-
quences, is bad and bad in regard to the peace Of
the individual, bad in regard his social relations,
bad in regard to his family. We all know that
degradation, misery and impoverishment of inno-
cent and unoffending families have followed from
the qualification of the appetite of some father,
| some husband, or some brother.
And now what do we say? The evil is upon
US, and we must meet it. The license system ha.
| failed, in the judgment of thousands; and we in.
cline to the opinion that it has failed most sgnay
| 1t is monopoy-s strange monopoly-the exclu.
sive right to make drunkards, authorized by law
say again, do not license the sale Of intoxicating
liquors; by so doing you give it the sanction o.
law, but lot it be free to be governed by public
opinion, and when that shall be in favor of restrain
ing laws, etit come. For public opinion, maturely
and deliberately made up, never 1t will no
do so in this case. We are opposed to all monopo
lies, and above ALL to those granted for the purpos
of dealing out death and destruction. Legazin,
that which is morally wrong we shall oppose.

Who's Elected The question as to who has
been elected Attorney General of the State of New
York-Ulman, the wing, or Chat6eld, the demo-
cratic candidate-it seems will probably have to
be settled by the Courts. 1t appears that at Chat
fields own instance writ was sued out in one of
the Courts, which interdicted the County Can
vassers from returning the votes cast for Attorney
General in the Fourteenth Ward of NewYork
city. The effect Of this was to give Ullman ma
jorty of the votes cast throughout the State
Subsequently, and after the Canvassers had re.
turned the vote to Albany, the interdct was taken
off by the Court. The Board of Canvassers, how
ever, now contend that they, having made their
return to the general or State Canvassers, are
nnet"s otfeti, and have right to act further in
the matter. Why Chatfeld should have interferred.
to deprive himself of votes seems difficult to un-
derstand, and the NewYork papers indulge in con-
siderable merrment at his expense.
