Maine Law.

We desire to keep our readers post
ed on the progress of this glorious
measure. 1t works like a charm, as
will be seen by the following;
THE New LAW IN LowELL-The
Life Boat" " for this week contains a
communication from Mayor Hunting
ton, of Lowell, to the State Temper
ance Committee, in reply to a request
for information respecting the opera
tion of the liquor law in atcity. The
mayor compares the first two months
of the operation of the law with the
corresponding months of last year,
with the following results:
For the two months ending Sept. 25d, 1a5I....

These statistics are taken from the
record Of the City Marshal. "The

police officers" continues the mayor,

disturbance and rowdyism, than under
the old regime. 1t is the testimony,

continues:
"Two men have opened rum shops,
Just over the line of the State, three
miles only from this city. Large num-
berS have, at times, been out there,
and scenes of drunkenness have en-.
sued. Much rum has been brought
from there in small quantities. But
notwithstanding these drawbacks, oul

The New York Express makes the
following siokening, horrible disclos-
ures. Truly, in the deepest depravity
there is lower depth"
"Within the last few days the po.
lice reports have revealed the astound-
ing fact, that there are grog-shops in
this city into which children are en-.
tieed, and sold liquor for a cent a glass,
and that many children have been in
duced to become regular frequenters
of those dens. The enormity Of the
thing is scarcely credible, but It is
nevertheless true. The evils resulting
from such fendish traffic can not be
fully comprehended, and no punish
ment is too severe for those who have
engaged in it. The authorities should
at once take the matter in hand, and
use all the power with which they are
invested for the suppression Of the
practice. Every friend of humanity
should exert himself to root out the
evil, and bring its authors to condign
punishment. 1t is matter in which
everybody is interested. If continued,
it will be the means of producing q

A Rascally Trick .

Some unmitigated, double distilled
scoundrel sent us hand-biIl, which we
published last week, purpOrting to be
signed by certain citizens of the 4tl
Congressional District of Indiana
against James H. Lane, Democratic
candidate for Congress, on the grounC
of his being an active, Jealous temper,
ance man, Son of Temperance, and
an ardent friend Of the Maine Law.
From the facts as they were repre-
sented to us, we expressed our earnest
desire for his election. We have since
received a letter from two highly re-
spected citizens of that District, who
inform us that the hand-bill is entirely
false-that Mr.. Lane is not Son of
Temperance, or even a temperance
man, and that the names to the hand
bill are fictitious. This is too bad.
We sincerely hope that our remarks
have not led any one in that District
into an error. If they have, we sin
cereIy ask their pardon. The oppo-
nent of Lane is, we are informed, a
far superior man. But the election is
now over, and it is too late to counter
act the influence of this base act of vii
lajny. We will try and not be caught
again in the same predicament. The
villain that sent us the hand bill,
ought to be in the penitentiary, and he
is in a fair way to get there We wish
we had his name; we would give hin
the benefit of a public notice.

Grand Division Of Ohio.

The annual session Of this body
takes place at 0ircleville, and viii COM
mence on Wednesday of next week,
the Goth inst. This will be a most
important meeting, and we sincerely
trust that every Division in the State
will be represented. From all that
we can gather, the Order has been
reviving in this jurisdiction for the last
few months. The old, luke-warm
members are waking up and new ones
are being initiated. We all feel the
need of revival, and when it is earn
estly desired, it win come. Let every
Division see to it that good repre-
sentation Of their best men is at Cir
cleville on Wednesday next. The
time we know is rather unpropitious
to get up an excitement, being in the
midst of a strongly contested political
canvass; but a programme of action
for a winters campaign can be di-
gested, and the iniiatory steps taken
to raise the whole temperance senti
ment of the State. We would earn
estly urge all our brethren who can, t.
attend. The fare there and back will
be reduced one-half on our great lines
of travel, and the hospitable citizens
of Circleville will, as far as possible,
relieve the representatives from ex'
pense while there. This pleasant
town is only 25 miles from Columbus,
and may be reached from that point
by stage or canal.
Grand Officers for the next year
are to be elected, and much impor-
tant business will come before the
body for consideration. There will
also be great public demonstration
on Thursday, the 2lst, which will add
to the interest of the occasion. Again
we say, turn Out, Sons of Temperance
"show your colors," and let us know
what you mean to do this coming win
ter. We may not realize it, but the
results of our present efforts in this
good cause, will be far greater-more
important and enduring, than the re
suit of the Presidential election. Why
can we not excite a corresponding
interest-an interest commensurate
with its Importance?

Bowling Alleys.

We see that since the enforcement
Of the "liquor law" in Lowell, Mass,
the bowling saloons have all closed up
for want of customers. Where the
good effects of this law upon the NOR
ais of community begin to be seen,
it will have more friends, and can
never be repealed.
The devil seems to be let loose in
Boston, but it is only for season.
The good results in Lowell, Lynn,
Salem, &c, will wake up the people
Of Boston, and the arm Of the law will
fall with vengeance upon evil doers.

County Election.

The recent election in this county
has surprised almost every one. 1t
has resulted in an almost total defeat
of the Democracy. As usual on such
occasions, the Wings are in high glee,
and the Democrats are considerably
"do,Oa in the MOUTH" As this is the
strong hold of democracy in this State,
it will have its effect upon this and
other States in the coming Presiden-
tial election. J. Scott Harrison, the
gentleman elected to Congress in the
end District, is a son of Gen. Harri.

Tom . in England

The success of this book is by no
means the least of the wonders Of our
day. 1t forms a striking contrast to
the reception the public has given to
the bogus productions which specu-
lating publishers and mercenary wri-
ters have spawned upon the world.
1t has been criticised at great length,
by the finest critics in England, and
has received their warmost praise
Its success, both in England and
America, is the surest test of its gen
uine worth. The sale it has met with
there is unexampled-eXceeding very
much that it has met with in this
country. From statement published
by Clorke d Co., Foreign book-sel-
lers, London, in the Times of the 18th,
we learn some interesting particulars
of its publication, and sale there. Mr..
Bogue received the first copy late in
April, which was purchased by Mr.,
Henry Whereby for the above-named
firm. Mr.. V. and Mr.. Salisbury, a
printer, took each volume home with
them, as they had one evening to ex-
anime it before deciding. Mr.. s. sat
up till four o'clock reading the book,
and as he was doubtful whether the
effect produced upon himself was moi
owing to his own weakness, he woke
up his wife and read a few chapters to
her, and found that she was as much
affected as himself. Mr.. V.'s account
was quite as satisfactory, and the book
was accordingly printed the following
week-an edition of 5000 being
worked off. The work, though ex
tensively advertised, did not begin tC
sell until the middle of June, and il
July it had reached a sale of 1000 (
week. In August the demand con
tinued to increase, and on the 2Otl
became overwhelming. -Four hundred
persons are now employed in som,

The Grand Division.

Our readers will perceive, by card
in another part of this paper, that the
good people of Circleville are making
every arrangement for the comfort
and accommodation of members of the
Grand Division who may be in attend

friends of the cause who may desire

We devote large part Of our edi-
torial department, this week, to the
accounts in the eastern papers, of the
operations Of the and-hquor law ia
Massachusetts.
Our readers are anxious to get hold
of all the facts on this subject. They
are already convinced that the princl-
pies of the law are right and it only
remains to be demonstrated that these
principles work well in practice.
Our own mind has been settled at
rest on this point for a long time, but
our faith grows stronger daily. The
accounts from Lowell and other places
are cheering. Wherever they have
officers ''worth a straw" all goes we'll.
We hod our fears about Lowell. It
has a population of $4,000, and has
been very hard place but it has a
Mayor who is determined to have the
laws enforced. Boston is cursed with
a worthless police. Read the follow
ing extract from an editorial in the Life
Boat. The editor was sojourning for
few DAYS in Lowell:
"No difficulty at all is experienced
in enforcing the new Statute. Some
large rum-sellers who have attempted
to contend, have given up the busi-
ness, and left the city. All the bowl
ing saloons have been closed. One
man. opened a bowling alley few
weeks since, but could not make it
work, and gave itup. Every one you
meet in the city, says the law works
well. Every man respects the law :
the Mayor enforces it, and all parties
acquiesce like good, law-abiding citi-
zens. Peace and order prevail in the
city; business is prosperous, and alto
gether, we think Lowell model city,
and stands number one among the
large places of the state. The inllu-
ence Of the Mayor is felt in every
ward, and all subordinate officers dc
their duty. The Mayor has but to
direct, and the work is. done, and that
too with perfect ease.
Now, contrast Lowell with Boston
Here we have a Mayor whose sympa-
thies are with the rum traffic, and who
lends his official influence to the rum
cause. What do we see as the result?

by the Mayor, but by Aldermen

the rum-sellers chuckling and laugh.

Delay in Executing the Law in
Boston.

Boston.
The following, from the Life Boat,
is "plain talk" but we fear there is
too much truth in it. The liquor law
is in effect nullifed in Boston, BY the
very guardians and executors Of the
public lawsl
"Some persons are disposed to
complain at the delay of the commit
tees of Suffolk county, in not using
greater despatch in enforcing the law.
The fault is not theirs, but Il may be
found in the courts and officers Of JUS
tice. We informed our readers of
the course Of Sheriff Crocker, last
week. There is now in the hands of
one of the Judges of the Police Court
a complaint which he has had three
weeks, and has not yet issued his
warrant. No such delay as this is
made in other cases. Mayor, Alder
men, Judges and officers, are all de-
termined to defeat the execution of
the law in Boston. A day of reck-
oning will come by and by with these.
The law will be enforced in Boston
yet, and these men who standuin its
way will find themselves in hot water
ere long,

MARIETTA, O., Oct. 4. '52.

To The Editor Of the Organ::-Last
winter, the friends Temperance Or
ganized County Society, permitting
all associations, whose primary object
is the promotion of temperance, to be
represented in the Annual, Quarterly,
and other meetings of the Society.
The first Quarterly meeting was held
in Barlow township, and at which
meeting it was determined that one or
two protracted meetings should be
held at different points in the County.
At the end Quarterly meeting, held
in July, resolution was adopted, in
structing the Executive Committee of
the Society to cause to be held two
day meetings in each of the Town
ships in the County. In accordance
with this resolution, appointments
were made, and meetings have been
held on Saturday and Sunday of each

known such profitable meetings as
these have proved to be. Temper
ance men of all the different associa-
tons have given their aid, and the
meetings have been very large and
interesting. Never was this county
so fully awake on this subject as now;
never were our temperance men more
resolved to work on until the victory
is won. AS these township meetings
have been held, committees have been
appointed to take charge of the circu-
lation Of petitions. Let me here say,
we have adopted somewhat different
course from that of last year, and we
have on the top Of each sheet contain

to our Senator and Representative,

ion of Judge Russell, in this city, be
gan to resume their business, in u
quiet way; but at a late meeting Of
the County Commissioners, like dis

the existing licenses, some fifty Oh
sixty, and left the poor licentiates

Liquors Destroyed must Be Paid for.

Under this head, the Commonwealth
makes the following sensible remarks;
"The State or individuals, it is al
legged, must pay for all liquor destroy
ed under the laws of 1859. Well,
has not most of the liquor which has
been heretofore drank, been very lib
orally paid for; first by the drinker
himself, when he bought it; next by
the State which was obliged to pro-
vide watchmen to restrain him while
under its influence, and sheriffS to
hang him for crimes committed while
drunk? And could not the State well
afford to pay for every drop of liquor
drank in Massachusetts for ten years
past, could it thereby recover the en-.
ormous outlays which rum has made
necessary, and which otherwise could
have been avoided? If the question
of the continuance of the liquor law
is to be decided on financial basis,
then let the opposers of the law pre-
pare their statistics. Tax payers
have deep interest in the question"
