ANNOUNCEMENTS.
For the GallipOlis Journal.

-
Being convinced that many are dis
satisfied with the candidates for repre-
sentative, and that many Of the dissatis-
fed wish me to be a candidate, l have
consented contrary to former intentions.
am sentimentally opposed to the
Maine liquor law, or to a prohibatory
law, or to any law that enforces abstain
ance upon the temperate part of COM
munity.
Such law intrudes upon the rights
of an American freeman; it restrains
the temperate in their just privileges for
the acts of the Incorporate and tends to
smuggling and dishonesty.
Such a law takes away the moral
privileges of Christian; Christ sane
toned and furnished wine on marriage
occasion, which such a law forbids,
consequently it is an anti Christian law,
it is contrary to the sacred volume re-
quiring a change of the word temper
ance (relative to drinking for the word
abstainanoe.
Intemperance is a great evil and a
moral crime against which l am as ready
to legislate as any man, and am fully
confident that law can be made re-
stricting the sale and use of liquor so as
to make intemperance an impracticable
business, without intruding upon the
rights and privileges of the temperate
and without conflicting with the many
passages of the sacred volume.
