RemonstranCes have been sent to the
Legislature, numerously signed, against the
adoption of a law of prohibition. Sus
pecting that all was not right, the friends
at Columbus examined some of these pa
pers, and find that very many of the names
are entirely fictitious, and many Others writ
ten by the same hand, and the same names
repeatedly signed What may We not ex-
pect as the next device of the enemy.

COLUMBUS, O., March 4, so,
DEAR SIR The resolutions to submit the
Maine Law to the people to vote on in
April next, were indefinitely postponed this
afternoon at half-past A o'clock. Now the
great struggle will be for the Maine Law
that or nothing. The tricks of the enemy
are defeated. Yours, &c.

Strong Demonstration

Out of 1900 legal voters in the city of
GAINESVILLE, Muskingum county, over 900
have signed petitions for the Maine Law
This is evidently the banner city. Reason
why? That place has been the most
thoroughly canyassed.

ENFORCEMENT OF MAINE
LAW" IN MT. VERMONT!

A saloon called the MOnteZuma," in
which liquor was the chief spirit, and pro-
family, obscenity and gambling, were the
order of the day and night, had become
quite offensive to some young married and
unmarried females. Their husbands and
brothers were often lured into this lurking
place of the village, and sometimes de-
tanned to late hour at night, and then sent
home half drunk to abuse their families.
Matters grew worse and worse, in spite
of all remonstrances with the keeper of
this vile den and the ladies had remon-
strated and forborne, until they saw that
affairs were coming to crisis ; that this re-
sort must be broken up, or those they loved
must be ruined, ruin in which they too,
must be involved. About the 18th of
February, four or five of the young ladies
resolved that they would bear the infiction
no longer. Armed with bludgeons, in open
day, they entered the " Hall of the Monte
yuma and plainly told the landlord that
they had come to have the question settled,
and if he would not desist in his course,
they should, in the absence of the Maine
Law" "be a law unto themselves" He
drew chair upon them, aEd ordered them
out of the house. Two young men who
We're present, stepped in the drunkard's
drink, began to draw their coats to take
part in the evening exercise. One of the
heroines. raising her shelalah, asked imper
atively whose side do you intend to take?"
The reply was, "yours of course" There
upon the landlord sought refuge in the cor
ner, and the ladies proceeded deliberately
and resolutely to the execution Of their SEN
tence. Every thing in the shape of bottle,
tumbler and Cask was devoted to destruc-
tion. They did up their work nobly and
went quietly to their homes. The offended
and outraged knight of the toddy-stick
sought redress from the authorities. After
some difficulty he procured a warrant to
arrest the "rioters." 1t was the general
understanding that they should not be pun
ished, the young men boldly proclaiming
that if the young ladies were imprisoned
the old Jail must come down. Just at this
period some one swore out a warrant against
the prosecuted Montezuma for keeping a
gambling house, and he getting wind of it,
departed to parts unknown, and the quiet
of Mt Vernon was restored.
OF course, we cannot approve of mob
violence under any circumstances, but we
would be at loss to determine the measure
of guilt incurred by those who "revelled in
the hall of the Montezuma."

HARD TINES HARD TnEsll is the crv
of the coffee-house keepers in this city.
The fact is, that since the establishment of
the license system in this city, groceries
have increased in every vicinity, until al
most every other opponent of the good cause
keeps clearinghouse. The business has
consequently become very Improbable, and
it is no uncommon thing to see these gentry
standing at the doors of their doggeries
with sad countenances, anxiously looking
for customers, and drawing out "hard
times" Hard times it is, indeed, and we
sympathise with them so far as to hope
that the passage and enforcement in our
State of the great Maine Law may soon de-
stTOy all competition.

Prograss d Puhllo sentlment.

KnOxcodnty, in this State, has never been
remarkable for its devotion to the cause Of
Temperance, but was oneOfthe hardestfelds
In Ohio. In January last Mr.. WitherOw
went up to Columbus as the honored Repre-
sentative of the people to the Legislature.
At that time there was a perfect calm no
feeling, no excitement, and Bacchus held
almost undisputed sway. There were a
few faithful among the faithless found, ="
but the fires burned dimly on the altars Of
their hearts. Up to the 29d of February
no petition came up to the Capitol from old
Knox for the Maine Law. While others in
the House had their tables loaded with petit
tiOns, his was empty. He took occasion on
that day to commend the intelligence Of his
constituents for not asking for the enact
ment of any such measure. On the day
following fJty.tOur of his constituents, and
among them some of his most ardent pOliti-
cal friends waited upon him at his room
with Maine" petition, signed by four
thousand one hundred and ten of the people
of Knox. On the morning of the Goth, Mr..
W. entertained the House by asking an
appropriate reference of the documents.
The Committee of fifty-fOur, not only had
the honor of placing the memorials in the
hands Of their public servant, but were
pleased to inform him that the people of Mt
Vernon had actually been executing the
Maine Law, in anticipation of its speedy
passage by the General Assembly. The
facts, as we gathered them, are as follows

Evidence of Progress.

We witnessed many incidents during our recent
trip to Niagara that demonstrated the strong
current of popular feeling in favor of Gen. Scott
The fact is undeniabc that thousands, and tens
of thousands, among those who have heretofore
been led to vote with the locofoco party, will
now vote for Gen. Scott.
We saw several striking instances Of this feel
ing during our recent trip. On Tuesday morn
ing, as the Northern Indiana was approaching
Buffalo, with at least 800 people on board there
were much enthusiasm and several speeches. One
of the speakers said that large number of Dem
ocrats had come out boldly, and declared they
should vote for Gen. Scott. Near the outside of
the crowd was a disconsoate- looking locofoco,
who attempted to keep his spirits up by getting
into controversy. He declared that this asser-
ton was false-that they could not point out q
Democrat who would vote for Scott.
This was bringing matters to O test. Instant
ly, IN Irishman from Cleveland, heavy contrac.
tor, and one who wieds very large influence,
mounted the chair and informed the gentleman
that he was one of that class--that he had al
ways been Democrat, and that he should vote
for Gen. Scott. He wanted to know what Mr..
Pierce had ever done, that anybody should vote
for him! lie gave the locofoco challenger reg
ular Irish broadside of eloquent talk No sooner
had he closed than another lrishman mounted the
stand, and declared that he was Democrat, and
should vote for Gen. Scott The huzzas that fol-
lowed this announcement had scarcely subsidized
when a third Irishman mounted the chair and,
shaking his fist in ON excited manner at the loco
foco Pierce man, said, "I too, shall vote for
Gen Scott. have always been Democrat, and
am ms good-looking man as you are, any day
