TEMPERANCE AND THE MAINE LAW.

Having lately received several from the
West correcting item which appeared In
paper Of the 9th March, in relation the Of the
Ohio State Temperance Convention the Maine Liquor
Law &C., We take occasion say that that
which was derived either through the Magnetic Tele-
graph OF from contemporary has been already twice
corrected IN our columns by making known the fact that
the Ohio temperance Convention did endorse the resric
tive law above mentioned. II is deemed unnecessary,
therefore, to say any thing on that subject But as
the writers OF some these letters infer that hostile
to THIS movement basing their opinions not
any thing which have said but on the circumstance
Of our having given publicity to the votes in several Of
the State Legislatures by which this excise law was r
jected IL is proper further to remark that We simply
journalized facts which had power to change II We
had desired to do We accompanied them with no
comment ndicatory Of opinion way or the other
because resolved at the present time at least to
have controversy the subject in columns If
the law has not found much favor with the Public ne
its friends hoped for it, II has not been owing any ex-
preston Of opinion interference part; all we
have done TO chronicle events and IL is practice
