ia most excellent article with reference to
prohibitory law, from tho \. I. Tribune, will be
found on the outside Of our paper. Is it not con.
elusive? How can it be got around or over? 1t
did. The main points made against US by our OPP
poncns are really without foundation. The OBJ
jects and character of the law arc either misuuder
stood or misstatod Reflection investigations facts
and figures have convinced a majority of the pco-
pie that much Of the evils they suffer and much of
the taxation imposed on them, results from the ma
nufacture and traffic in Intoxicating drinks. As
Society, they neither know OF care any thing about
the individual misery wrought and wrong suffered
nor do they know or care whether particle of it
will be done away with They neither know or
care what people eat, what they drink, or whc-
Their drop less of liquor will be drank under this
law than before. They only know, as we said, that
they arc annually called upon to pay handsome
sum, resulting they believe from this traffic and
they being tho power which made the laws under
which they pay, they propose to exercise that pow
cr in way to save their money Perhaps the ex-
pertinent will fail; suppose it does, have the ma
iority not right to try it!
And on the other side, society in its law making
capacity neither KNOWS cares what ipdiridadl
suffering or Inconvenience may arise from the en-
actmcnt of this law. People engaged in the liquor
trade may be broken down and their families inn
povcrished Many things arc done which ncon-
venience individuals but society strikes the balance
between good and evil, and makes the individual
convenience subscrvient to the general good OF
course 1t Is expected that much incidental good
good TO era,g person, will flow from the law as
is supposed TO he the with all laws on the sta
tutc book. but it should be borne in mind that
this law, like any other law, is simply contiyance
of society TO protect itself and the right to impose
taxes is not whit clearer than the right to lessen
them
Personal liberty either natural unconstitutional
is no more involved in this law than in scores of
other laws on the statute book. 1t does not in
yolvc what man shall eat or drink or wear: it has
no more reference TO the prohibition of any other
necessary luxury of life, than law prohibiting
horse stealing has 10 a law prohibiting horse ira
ding. 1t Is plain, simple question, whether the
people who bear the burthens and pay the taxes.
NAV not exercise their discretion as TO the best
mode of abating the evils they suffer. We ask in
all conscience, if there is any personal right invol-
we'd in the matter, if the personal rights of the ma
iori,y are not quite as important as those of the
minority; and if one man has not quite as much
personal right to vote against and put down the
well-unders. cod causes Of taxation and crime as
another man has to impose them on him.

ia convention will assemble Mt JacksonS, in
Bristol, to-day to nominate a candidate for State
Senator, favorable to loaning the county credit in
aid of the kenosha and Bcloit Rail Road. We
have only this suggestion to make; that inasmuch
as this will be but temporary issue, and men OF
all political parties are expected to unite on the
nominee, he should be pledged TO resign at the
end Of the first year. y United States Senator is
to be chosen, session after the next and as the no
mincc now. cannot be expected TO represent all po
liticaI divisions, no doubt much more cordial un
I ion on him can be had with such pledge than
without.

The Democracy and Prohioitory liquor
Law.


We call the especial attention of all friends of Il
Prohibitory Liquor Law, TO the following, from
the kenosha Democrat. What the last legislature
did or did not mean is now a fnatter of no impol-
lance The people of the-state are now struggling
for law similar in its provisions to the Maine law
and this article from the Democrat is significant
and important as showing the dodge contem-
plated by the party Of which the Democrat /, an
organ, and which expects to be the dominant par
~. And we can assure oar friends both here and
elsewhere, that we have good reason for supposing
that this article shadows the position and purpose
OF this party throughout the state, on this question
Their candidates are to he pledged to a prohibto-
~ liquor law, and when they get to Madison, by
some trick OF legislation, the manifest wish of the
people is to be nullificd and defeated. So it is
talked among them here, and we believe it is so
understood among them throughout the state To
be torcwarncd is to be forearmcd, and we call the
attention Of the friends Of the cause to the matter
with the carncs! conviction on our own part, that
our wishes can only be successfully accomplished
by securing men to make and administer the laws
who in principle and heart are right OH the ques-
ton:

Less than two weeks now remain until elec

Less than two weeks now remain untif e.ec-
ton. An excellent state ticket is presented
to the ele tors for their support. Ills sound
all over on the temperance question. The men
are able and honest. They are not politicians
nor Office seekers by trade, nor have they
sought the positions they new hold as candi-
dates. If elected they viii be the represent
Atlves Of no party, or faction, but Of the pco-
pie, We are sure in their hands the govern
inent will be well administered. Weare sure
that reckless expenditures and extrayagant
appropriations will have no countenance or
favor from them, and that SO far as their m
fuence goes, the affairs Of the State will be
economically conducted and the taxes Of the
people Ightened.
With proper effort, We believe this ticket
can be elected Let Kenosha County, the
banner county of the State in good works,
prove true to herself on this occasion. We
ought to be able to count our Maine Law
majority by the thousand at least, and we
hope that every man who feels a necessity
for such vote, will also feel the necessity for
having State functionalics who will not thwart
his wishes in this respect
The best Democracy, the best Whggery,
the best Free SoiIisln is tle good Of the .Peo
pie. The good Of the people demands the
success Of the peoples ticket. Let us rally
then as brothers, having a common cause to
lie gained by common effort The Maine
Law should have 5000 majority in the State,
and with such vote We can certainly carry
this ticket. a little work will accomplish it
BE yigilant then, and Jealous friends until the
polls close

H. The L. 5. District Attorney, at the Anti
Maine Law meeting, the other G ening, took the
ground that any such law in this state, would be
unconstitutional. Mr.. Barstow, the candidate for
Governor, trains in this very crowd, and we have
but little doubt that such also is his opinion.
When he said he would approve " constitution
al y law, the antics knew very we'll that he meant
no such law could be passed.

Two Parties.

The two old parties have been of late wears pre-
dieting the death and dissolution of the Free De-
mocracy, because there never can be but taeo per-
manent parties in the country. They were right
in the premises but wrong in the application. a
few years ago Ohio gave a wing vote for President,
and now whiggery in that State is annihiated.-
The wings, great share Of them, have gone over
TO the bunker Democracy, some TO the Free De-
mocracv, and some few have stuck to their ticket
under the impression they had life in them vet
There will be but FRO parties, and the late Wing
party won't be one of them. Thcrc is conserv-
alive and and progressive clement in every go
vernmcnt. among every people. One party will
represent the former, another the latter. The
bunker democracy of the country are now the to-
aty, the finality the stand FAST the conservative
element. Those who have affinity for that senti
ment will join it as the wings of Ohio have done,
those who have will unite with the progrcssives
and but a very short time viii elapse, until we
shall find these elements fairly separated and par
ties formed on living issues. The work is going
on in every State of the Union. The erent cannot
be distant which viii aggregate the particles now
50 rapidly segregating into their true affinities

" rBoumIToRY LIQUOR LAW"

The question to be voted upon by the poo
pie Of this State at the general election is
4" Prohibiory Liquor LGlc," or 40 Pro
hiditory Liqaor Lam.' We have before
stated tie .tict that the last Legislature had
no serious intention in submitting this qucs-
ton to the people, Of submitting the question
OF the Maine Liquor Law; and we have also
expressed the opinion that the next Lorisia-
ture, should the vote be in the affirmative on
the question that IS submitted, would fail to
consider 1t rs a demand for the Maine Law.
The Legislature REFUSED to submit the Maine
Law to the people-rcluscd to place that
question at all before the public, and the
public impression otherwise is an erroneous
one. Look at the question to be voted upon
So Proa(dtory Li7H2r Lar" Does a
"ProInbitory Liquor Law mean necessarily
the "Maine Liquor Law?' BY no means.-
1t is a term which Will include ali the dcfunct
liquor laws of this or any other State-but
least Of all the Maine Law, which permits
any citizen to keep his cellar full of spirits
and drink it continually.
Why then this agitation and parade of the
friends Of the Maine Law and others about
voting on election day? What will be ac-
compliehed if every voter in the State casts
his vote infavor of Prohibitory Liquor Law
We claim that this man, Or that man or the
other man has right to be in favor Of and
vote for Prohibitory Law without being in
favor of the Maine Law, and that neither the
Legislature or any one else can with any
proprcty falsely construe his motives or his
vote into purpose to sustain the Milne en-
actmcnt. And 50 will the next Legislature
regard the matter, whatever the result Of til,
vote.
