CANDIDATES AND OURSELVES.

The Romney. Argus furnishes the following,
which is alike applicable to our own county as
Hampshire, and we therefore recommend it to
the serious consideration of our very numerous
list of candidates:
A few more days having passed, we shall see
in this county long faces enough to satisfy The
morbid feelings of the mast austere OF hermi,s.
The elections will have been held and numerous
candidates have been disappointed. Now, we
give notice that we think it would be much the
best plan for allthose who are indebted to us for
publishing their announcements TO come forward
and pay up before the election, but that, if they
don't choose to do so, we shall not consider their
defeat a reason why we too should be disappoint-
ed. We shall not accept elongated visages, nor
gloomy looks, nor discontinued murmurings at
the will of The people, for pay. We have kept
their names before the public and if they be
not elected, let them not on that account with
hold what is our due. Come, gentlemen, send
or bring in the money if elected, you will be
glad you have done SO, and if defeated you will
not have the modification of rejecting that "the
worst part is yet to come.'

TEMPERANCE IN orr STATE.


We do not need the Maine Law the less, low
that the prospect of its immediate enactment
has been cloudcd by the result of our late Elec-
ton. We cannot encourage our Temperance
friends TO hope that the Legislature recently
chosen viii pass any such law as is required;
but We can show them that the law ought TO
pass, and that the present is a favorable time
to work for it. Political excitement has SUBJ
sided, and there is no longer an excuse Tor trim
ming or corcealment, for fear of hurting the
party We see 10 adequate reason for array.
ing the People in two hostile hosts, contendins
for political mastery, for months, possibly for
years, to come. There is nothing now to be
gained or lost by partisan contention of half so
much importance as the Prohibition of the sale
of Intoxicating Beverages, and to this subject,
accordingly, we mean 10 invite from time TO time
the attention of our readers
The reasons for absolute Prohibiton-in
other words, for the Maine Law-may be brief.
ly summed up as follows:
L. 1t is impartial There can be no pretense
that such law Furnishes little sins and sinners.

mental assumption is the immortality and evil
Of the Liquor Traffic. II does not, like our
License Laws, assume that this traffic is per.
nicious or dangerous, and then give any one a
dispensation to pursue it ON payment of ten
dollars. II does not pronounce the traffic in
moral, and then attempt 10 confne it TO men Of
good moral character But, contemplating
and approaching the great fountain of crime,
pauperism and misery, il makes a manly. ear.
