TEMPERANCE AND POLITICS.

The Locoloco papers Of Iowa have said
about the advocates OF The
Maine Law carrying Temperance iato pei
i,ics and our neighbor Of the Banner has
become quite eloquent upon the subject
A friend has handed Us the proceedings Of
a meeting Of Anti Maine Law men held in
the ..Key- Sionen State. from which we ex,
tract lhe following resolution, which Ger
tainly shows disposition upon the part OF
The Ants 10 carry the thing into politics:
Resolrea, Tha, we will not support any per-
son for any County or State Office, whether he
may be Hing or Democrat, unless he pledges
himself to use his influence against the proposed
law; and should oar legislature pass this law be.
fore the next general election, we will not sup
port any man for Assembly or Senate unless be
stumps his district in opposition TO the law, and
pledges himself for its repeal

DO surpassed. Without wishing to make
an invidious comparison VIC may say that
they are superior as vocalisis toany OF the
'.families" who have yet greeted Us with
songs. All who heard them were delight
ed with their performance, but as they
were entire strangers and no notice had
been given Of their success in other places,
but few were in attendance.

WING STATE TICKET.
THE WING ADDRESS.

There must have been come truths pc
cul;arly unpalalable 10 our Locofoco breih
rem ia the Wing Address, recen,ly issued
BY the Executive Committee Of this Stale,
il we may judge BY the fiai,erng il has
made in their ranks. They condemn il
without "rhyme or reason;" soms tor be.
ing too long. others because loo short; some
for emitting to treat upon certain topics.
and others for discussing too many subjects;
some for maintaining total silence upon
Wing principles and others for advocating
principles not Wing, until we have become
convinced that the Committee has entirely
failed--if their object were to please the
susrlish, censorioos fratei nifty Of Locofoce
editors 10 Iowa. Now had that Address
failed to have brought out the Locoioco ed
itors Of Iowa 10 opposition TO it, We should
have begun to "scan with critical inspec-
iion" its phraseology, bu, as ], has brought
them down like sthousand Of BRICK" all
yelping 10 dissonance, We cannot but think
il has succeeded in the very object the
committee had 10 view,--to get the people
Of Iowa 70 read and ponder upon it.

Mr.. SANDERS: Dear Sir:-In the last
number Of your paper | find an article call
ing the attention Of The ''proper authorities"
10 tie state Of The public roads. That the
roads have been extremely bad for the last
six weeks is well known to every person
having occasion to use them; every road in
the county being impossible for a loaded
team and nearly so with light carriages.
II the Supervisor is TO be held responsible
FOR this state Of affairs he should certainly
have the control OF the elements, or his Of
fee would be very unthankful one. II j
had employee all the men able to labor in
this county upon the roads from the LIST Of
March to the 2O,h of April, they would still
have been impossible for loaded teams
With regard to planking such places as the
McNamara and Blood sloughs, it would GER
tainly afford me great deal Of pleasure to
make that kind of improvement instead Of
tlnc 'fHahe siiiit VI WH.SH loihioA SStif'
plains. We have many mias of road IL
our county that will always be bad during
wet weather, until il is planked or Macad
amzed. One mile Of either kind Of i'm
provement would cost more than the whole
road tax Of Scott county for 1851.
Individually, ] am decidedly in favor o
making our road improvements Of more
1permaneni character, bit as Supervisor
an obliged to keep all the roads passabl'
as far as The means at my disposal will I'D
nit. am very glad your correspondent
has called the attention Of the public to thl
matter, and hope that every person feein!
nm interest in the permanent improvement
Il our ronds will speak through the press
or some other manner, that the '.authori
,iesn may act understandingly. Ii W

that the qualifications necessary TO ship
aboard of her are, ''to give up all our old

Dissipation when you so POLITICALLY assert,
that she is son the rapids, driving with all
sails set, towards the cataract, where she
will be hurled into the dark abyss OF Wing
disgrace and ruin"
All of which is intended TO provo--if II
