MAINE LAW MEETING In BRIGH
TON, KENOSIIA co.

A meeting of the citizens of the town of
Brighton, Kenosha CO., was held on the Sd
inst. for the purpose of agitating the ques-
ton of a prohibitory liquor law. After an
address by Mr.. VIM. Drummond, some OF
the citizens made a few remarks, and the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, First, That at the ensuing cleo
ton we will vote, and recommend to our fell
low citizens to vote in the affirmative on the
question of a prohibitory liquor law; and
we will vote for no candidate for any office
having an influence on this question who VIC
believe is not in favor of such law.
Second, That the evidence against the
use Of intoxicating drinks as a beverage, is
is so strong and irresistible that we regard
it both a civil and christian duty, to aid to
the utmost of our ability, the progress of the
great temperance reform. ..-
Third, That the above resolutions bepub-
lshed in the Kenosha Telegraph.
ALEX. BAILEY, Chm.
Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1850-1854, 1853-10-07


Cd. The Supreme Court of the United
States, as well as several of the state courts,
having decided the constitutionality of the
principle of prohibitory liquor law, and no
courts having decided against the principle
of prohibition, so far as am aware, there
is little or no room for constitutional scruples
AS to our own constitution, one of its objects
as set forth in the preamble, being to "in-
sure domestic tranquility" and it having de-
clared that the blessings of a free govern
ment can only be maintained by firm ad-
herence to justice, moderation, temperance,
and virtue" the inference is that it will fa-
vor rather than oppose statutory enactments
designed to accomplish this end
Sd. Were the Governor of Wisconsin,
| should deem it my duty to cooperate with
the legislature in the enactment of a law
calculated to prohibit the sale of intoxica-
ting spirits as a beverage, and to use all my
constitutional powers towards the faithful
execution y of such a law, when enacted
with the view of projecting the pecunary
and moral interests of the state against the
alarming consequences of the liquor traffic

g-e- The Wisconsin State Temperance

Rs- The Wisconsin State Temperance
League, represented byhree men have deci-
ded taro to one, not to employ Mrs. Nichols
and Mrs Fowler to aid in the temperance
cause in this state, and have employed Rev.
J. II. Cramptoni in the work. We havenot
heard the ability, efficiency or moral worth
of these females questioned, therefore we
suppose the action of the League" has
special reference to the fact that they are fe-
males. We are quite sure this action of
the League will receive very little sympathy
from the friends generally of the movement
and we presume further, it will not have
the effect to deprive the cause of the aid of
these women.
Rev. j., Il. Champion was prominent at
the n. Y. Convention, in DISTINGUISHING
women from participation in this movement
but this need not, necessarily impair his eff
ficiency in the work: and we trust all will
hear and all and assist him. whatever NAV
be their peculiar views with reference to
woman's sphere or duties.
We understand our fellow citizen, G. NJ
Dewey, has also been employed by the
League.

THE FOREIGN NEWS.

The gist of the foreign news appears to
be that Russia, without qualification, coolly
rejects the proposition made by the media
ting powers, for settlement of it's Difficult
ties with Turkey. The Turkish people and
troops are represented as in the highest de-
gree cxaSperated against Russia, and ready
and anxious to attack herat once. Russia,
confident of her power to subjugate Turkey
Is by no means anxious to bring about re-
cancellation and hence it is thought var must
come. 1t is hardly possible these two ma
tons can get into deadly strife without in
volying other nations, for the sentiment at
the bottom of the difficulty, is the same
which has been and still is, aoitating the
people Of all Europe. We should not be
surprised to find this war should it come,
the beginning of that bloody and general
struggle which seems to be necessary to
tighten up the cloud of dcspo:ism row so
black over the whole Of Europe.
And what is the mission of America, in
such struggle Humbly, we conceive, not
to involve itself in the active strife. We are
remote from the seat of the dificulty-not
involved in it, nor necessarily essentially af-
fected by it. We can do better for the lib
eral cause both there and here, than to
waste our morals and substance in war. If
they must fight let us feed them, and while
we give the liberal cause the aid of all our
sympathies, let us be prepared, should it be
victorious, to furnish it the example of a go
vernment truly republican; or if defeated,
To furnish to its advocates and defenders a
welcome to our own soil, and an asylum I'M
der a government which shall be more TO
them than any they hoped to achieve for
themselves.

OFFICIAL RETURNS, KENOSHA
Co.-CIRCUIT JUDGE.

+. S. Lowell had 3 votes in the first ward
of the city.
The vote of this county is from sixteen
to seventeen hundred, when full. The ex-
ceedingly light vote, makes the result sig
nifcaEt of nothing, except that very few
persons took any interest in the matter
Such appears also to have been the case
throughout the district We believe how
ever, had the vote been full or had the
friends of Spooner made as much effort as
those of Doolittle, the result would have
been different

the district, W. en- we get them in an authen-
