But We know that the law is good, ii we
use it lawfully.
There is a reference in these words
to the law which was given by Moses
10 the children Of Israel, That law
the Jews were prone to pervert and
misapply. 1t was no fault Of the law,
however, that it was perverted and
abused. The fault was wholly in
the authors Of that peryersion. The
law itself was gOod--goOd in its origin.

the tfansQressor hard. Every law
possessing these characteristics, may
be pronounced good, if a man use it
lawfully; knowing this, that the law
was not made for a. righteous man,
but for the lawless and disobedient.
The law utters no threatenings, de-
nounces no penalties against the right
eous Or obedient. Its whole design
Is to restrain the selfish and counter
act the wicked in all their wrong
doings. THE end Of the command
ment is charity Love is the fulfill
inc Of the law The celebrated Burke
has said, 'LGsO is benyfcence acting By
rule Every law, then, which is
based on public necessity, and which
aims to accomplish good object by
wise and efficient provisions, is good
law, and consequently ought to re-
ceive our hearty approval, our cheer
full obedience, and our vigorous sup
port.
About two years ago, a law was
passed in one Of the States of this
tJnion-the State of Maine-which
prohibits all traffic in intoxicating Ii
ouors as a beverage. Since that time,
Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and
in the Territory Of Minnesota. And |
NAV here add that the Cherokees and
Choctaws have had law for more
than twenty years on the subject Of
Temperance, similar, in all It's essen
tial features, to the Maine Liquor
Law. 1t has been rigidly enforced,
and its influence has been most be-
nign and salutary. a

quantities having places open in
every neighborhood throughout our
| State in every street and alley in our
cites and large towns, where every
1 jug and bottle could be filed, where
the cravings of a perverted and vicious
appetite could be easily gratifed, where
the small earnings which ought to be-
laid out for food and clothing for the
family, are squandered for intoxicating
drinks! and all this has heretofore been
sanctioned by law Former legislae
ton on this subject, we fully believe,
has been wrong. Itwas based on the
erroneous principles that twas for the
| public good to have them sold--that
spirituous liquors were necessary and
even useful. Former legislation ap-
pears to have assumed that strong
drink was one of the necessaries Of
life, and hence such enactments were
passed as were calculated to encour-
age, rather than check the use and
traffic in this article. In common de-
cency, however, laws have been passed
that no more should be sold than the
\ public good required that none but
respectable men should sell; and even
they mustnot sell to drunkards. Now,
Il what has been the influence or effect
of such legislation? Plainly, it has
been to- encourage men along The
II downward paths Of intemperanee
Ii and, .Iley feaehed

excellent way? We owrespectfully

viduals and save the Commonwealth.
from the tremendous evils which they
themselves must see and admit, flow
directly from the traffic in intoxicat-
ing drinks. It must now be admitted
by every one, that the traffic has
worked evil and only evil. tw
1t is now seen that every dwelling
where liquor is sold to be used as a
beverage, is a curse to community -.
Where the traffic prospers, there the
curse of God proportionstely abounds-
There is no business on earth--not
even the slave trade-more injuriousy
more detestable. By what rule do
you decide the moral character Of
every action or employment Un-
questionably, by the consequences Of
that business to mankind, and by the
motives Of those who are engaged in
it. Now, it cannot be made to appear
that the consequences of the slave
trade are worse than the consequences
Of the liquor traffic, And what are
the motives which govern in both
cases? answer, money! II is not
the desire or intention, in either case,
to produce the misery which follewsy
but is areckless and selfish determine
ton to get money, without regard to
the consequences to others. Gold
and self-interest are thrown into one
side Of the scale, against humanity and
religion on the other

was decided by drunkards. A glass
Of rum will buy a drunkard's vote.
Glance at the amount of tax which
you pay for the support of paupers,
who are made SO by the vice Of in
temperance. II is, | believe, a con-
ceded point, that intemperanee pro-
duces more pauperism than all other
causes combined. Glance at the an.
nual expense Of intemperance. Re-
collect that in the single STATE of Ohio
ten millions Of dollars are vested in
the Manufacture of intoxicating IL
quors. Look at the millions of fmoney,
and the immense amount Of time
Squahdered by drunkards every year;
and who can tell how many Of the
dreadful cal6mities which have oc-
cured on board our steamboats,, are
traceable to intemperancel Glance
at the bearing Of intemperance on
the religious interests Of men. No
drnnkard shall inherit the kingdom Of
God Unless he abandons his cups
and becomes thoroughly reformed, his
conversion is a moral impossibilty.
His conscience is scared as with a hot
iron, and all the moral sensibilities
oc his soul are benumbed. All the
motives contained in the everlasting
gospel, are addressed to him in vains-
The druhkard is engaged IN nothing
that i pure md lovely and of coed
report--he is ready to engage in
everything that is hateful and Of evil
tendency. Wheu under the influence
of strong drink, heisprepared to perpe-
trate crimes at which he would shud-
der in his sober moments. .
Now, certainly, something ought to
be done to prevent such manifold
evils. The source Of all this misery
and suffering oughtto to be dried up
The sole question, then, is, can any
thing more be done than has been
done? Must the present race of
drunkards be abandoned to wretched.
ness and ruin ? Cannot another effort
be made to reform and save these fifty
thousand inebriates t? Cannot some
thing be done to prevent the spring
ing up Of another generation of drunk
ards among US! Could my voice reach
the ear Of every man, woman and
child in our State, more than four times
fifty thousand voices would quickly
respond, Try-Yes-Try. Give us
a law which shall prohibit entirely the
traffic in intoxicating drinks as bev-
erage, and let the provisions of this
law be faithfully enforced, and the work
will soon be done. iaa
My friends, is it not just as plain as
that two and two make four unless
something more is done than has been
done, all those streams will continue
to be kept open, at which the poor
drunkards, generation after genera
ton, will continue to lie down and
drink, and drink till they die? And
not only SO, but these streams will be
increased and multiplied -and recol-
lect there are fifty thousand drunk
ards in our State already. Must this
number be increased? Must the pres
ent race Of finebriates die unreformed
and must another generation be raised
up to supply their places

lously complied with, and its provis-,
ions faithfully carried out? 1t may
be fairly questioned whether a subject
so deeply sfecting the present and
future interests of this commonwealth,
has ever been submitted to the con-
sideration Of our Legislators, and /
cannot but feel that the words ofscrip-
ture are peculiarly applicable to them
in their public as well as private ca
pacity.-1f thou hold thy peace at
this time, then shall there enlarge
ment and deliverance arise to the
Jews from another quarter: but thou
and thy fathers house shall be de-
stroyed, and who knoweth whether
thou art come to the kingdom for
such time as this? Esther iv. l4.l
One thing isipainfully evident, the
temperance reformation is not yet
complete. There yet remains a great
deal To- be done. Glance for one mo-
ment at the extent Of the evils of
drunkenness in our land, land as
highly favored, perhaps, as any on
which the sun shines. According to
the lowest estimate which can make,
there must be at this day at least fifty
thousand Incorporate persons in Ohio
Ope II forty BY Incorporate per-
e Bh0 are
given to gross and brutal intoxication,
but all such as are manifestly injured
by the occasional use Of spurious IL
quors. mean such as have power
full appetites for strong drink-appe-
tites which have already been i'm
properly indulged-appetites which
will prove the ruin of these fifty thou
sand individuals, if the temptations
to strong drink continue to be as
strong as they are now. Fifty thou
sand inebriates! What a host to be
furnished by a single State! even
though that State is large. Many Of
these are already confirmed inebriates,
and many more are young men in
imminent danger Of being carried
down the stream of intemperance,
and whose gloomy prospects will soon
be sealed, unless something is speedi-
ly and efficiently done to avoid it.
Look for one moment at these
wretched and miserable beings. None
bnt a drunkard can describe drunk
ards wretchedness. The shame, the
modification, and the upbraiding of
conscience which he is forced TO en-
dure, are altogether indiscribable. In
estimating the evils and miseries of
intemperance, you must not look upon
these fifty thousand inebrates as isOla-
ted and solitary beings. You must
look upon them in their domestic,
social, and civil relations. You must
group together with them their wretch
ed wives and miserable children, their
broken.hearted parents and brothers
and sisters and other near relatives,
whom they make miserable, and over
whom they exert most depraving
and debasing influence. Think, too,
how much intemperance has done and
is still doing to swell the tide of public
calamity. Who can tell how much in
temperance has done, and may con-
tinue to do, towards corruptlng the
purity Of our elections in the choice
of our rulers. 1t has been asserted
