Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1852-12-30


We would suggest TO the fierce opponents of
our Liquor Law, who make war upon it on acs
count of its alleged unconsltutionality, that
they turn to the laws of The United States and
see It they can't find among them an act very
similar, and of equal sringency with ours, for
the suppression OF the traffic and sales of spiritu
Gus liquors to the indians and then read the de-
cislons of the United States Courts, and see if
they can't find one declaring that 6. other laws in
vovmg the same principles and provisions to be
constitutional. ttley find sach law and such
decision. then we would further suggest
whether, if a law Of that kind passed by The Uni
ted States is constitutional, ours can be very IN
constitutional and further, also, whether the
people of Vermont are not as worthy Of being
protected against the muiiorm evils of this
death-dolng traffic, as the Indians of the West?
