ing the selected speaker for the occasion.

Mrs. Mansfield. was called upon to
speak. but declined on the ground that
she had been refused the privilege of
preat thing the gospel in that house, and
temperance being part of christianity.

consistently treat upon temperance, and
not be permitted to speak upon other
things of at least equal importance.

For the Banner.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In your paper of March
18th, you publish. over the signature of
Scion, an article purporting to be a re.
view of Tempera nee Address, deliver
ed by Mrs. C. M. d. Barnett, at pub.
lie meeting of the friends Of tenn perance
in this village, OIL the lst inst. The
structures Of Scion seem to me to require
more notice than you have bestowed up
on them; aad | therefore. would again
call the attention Of your readers to the
subject.
Sartor resaftus-crilicisc the critic
is all fair play-but this rowing one way
and looking another-this "stabbing 4
man Tor roman ether in the house OF
his frIends"-is not what it is cracked
up TO be; and the idea Of advocating the
temperance cause, by abusing its friends
and supporters is equally absurd and rep
rehensiblc.
Mrs. Barne.t's address was received by
her auditors, as am informed, for did
not hear it. with much satisfaction and
eclat; and on vote OF the assembly, and
at the earnest request of the Daughters of
Temperance, copy was furnished for
publication. Well what chance for
fault finding does your critic discover in
all this? He admits that sit comes to
your readers, clothed in rather elegant
language" thus damning it in advance.
with faint praise; bu. the great objec-
ton to it is. that lit lscks an sppropri-
ate author" thus bringing up the subject
Of "women's rights" and taking ground
in opposition to them. Had Mrs. B..
procured some man, with "stentorian
voice." or perhaps some great lubber,y
boy to deliver her address. Solon's main
objection would have been removed
Mrs. Barnett relieved Of the load Of OBJ
loquy she lies under--thc publisher OF
the Banner from the labor Of setting a
large number of type, and the wsrld jog
ged on as usual. "Great streams from
little fountains flow"
Scion also complains of want of con-
sistency, and quotes numerous passages
of the address to show it; but the iudg-
ment Of the public on that branch of the
case, so far as reported. is, that the pla in-
tiff take nothing by his suit in that be-
half, and have leave TO withdraw his bill
Again, we hear him exultingly exclaim:

sition to my lerel" All, indeed! has

LICENSE QUESTION.

There are various opinions expressed
upon the rev Liquor Law. Some con-
tend that license to retail, cannot be OBJ
tanned unless majority of all the voters
in a Township vote for license. Others
say that if majority of the votes cast
pro and con are for license, then they can
be obtained. without asking whe ther one
half of the voters in the Township have
voted or not.
We can see wide difference between
the positions. Tie second section Of
the law says, "The consent required in
the preceding section shall be determined
hy the number Of votes cast for or against
license, to be expressed on the ticket:
and no ticket on which the same is not
expressed shall be counted either way"
We think the case is clear that sec. 2nd.
explains sec. LIST. For if majority of
all the voters in a Township must vote
for license as required in the frs: sec.
then the neutral votes must be counted.
and this it is positively declared In the
second sec. shall not be done. Is 1t ne
cessary to say anything in reference 10
the duty of voters upon this subject?----
We think every lover Of sobriety and
good order will see it to be his duty to
vote against license, for who does no;
know that a Grog- Shop is thing to be
dreaded, and should be avoided. The
evils growing out Of such ESTABLISHING o Is
are so well known that it does seem to be
unnecessary TO rehearse them at this time.
Every man who is sentimentally OPP
posed to such esta blisbments if he prop
erly understands what he is doing. will
dare vote his sentiment. for if he is op
posed TO such things and has not the for
titude to vote his sentiment, he is rot
entirely safe, for the same influences
which controlled his vote might be used
TO bring him to the fatal Cup. Then in
conclusion we say, every man should take
this matter into conside 70 ton, and cast
his vote as he sentimenially believes to
he right, and he should do this without
having the fear of man before his eyes.
