Tns name Liquor Law.
There seems to be a wide variance Of test-
mony Oh the question whether or not the Maine
Liquor Law works any good in the States that
have adopted it,
A paper published in Portland, called the
State of Maine" contains most able article
in reference to the practical workings Of the
Maine Law, from the pen and over the sigma
lure of John Neal, Esq. The editor of the
Boston Transcript, in noticing this article, says:
We think, with Mr.. Neal chat the time ha,
fully come when the whole truth should BE-
known in regard 20 the huuUue and la.sahaoa

large stories published III rrgrl To- he public
sale of liquors were sheer fabrications -the sale
of liquors. as we Witnessed il at The hotels in
Maine, was pure and undisgui,ed as such sale
is in the city of New York. And merchants
and public men OF Maine informed us that there
was more general use of Intoxicating drinks
throughout the State than thcre,yas ever before
known. The statements Of these Gentlemen com
firm the opinions of Mr.. NJ He saws:

snswer--ihs right to sell rum is not pecu.
liar right under our national or State insttu-
lions, and prohibition Of that right does not
violate those Constitutions Again. in coming
into society we Ipud relinquish many rights
thus, the right TO drive through our streets as
fast as we please. and to sell in market what
we please end when we please; lastly, many
other rights are restricted by law yet who
questions such restrictions, as unconstitutional!
There have been numerous decisions upon this
right by our Supreme Judges in favor Of The lay,
but what has that TO do with the prohibition of
dram shops, any more than with faro tables and
bawd houses. This is an objection which can
not be divided. The argument has no partial
application. You must repeal at once all your
hundred statutes against vices of all descrip-
ton; or you must apply the principle to all. If
you do not prohibit the liquor seller, what a
gross injustice you are doing to these gamblers,
who you are Furnishing with plenary vengeance

meaning unless you repeal all human laws.

Cured on the second day of the meeting, that
spread gloom over many countenances. The
house, with its contents, of Mr.. James Fryer,
